                                                  The little owl is a true neighborhood gem. It's super small and cozy. The brunch menu was varied, something for everyone. Fun cocktails. The true stand out was the staff. So friendly, so accommodating. They let us stay as long as we wanted to well after service had ended as we finished a bottle of wine. You can tell they enjoy working there and with each other. We had a fabulous experience and will definitely be back.
