                                                  The Little Owl is one of our favorite all-time restaurants. Top-notch food, lovely service, ambience is intimate and friendly - everything is pretty much perfect. The only challenge I might concede is the noise level, which is quite loud. Otherwise, we couldn’t love it more.
