Despedida o bien venida ???
Casual ... pero a la vez romántica ...
Cita de desayuno con sabor a cena
Fue wow !!!
Nunca deja de sorprenderme este lugar !!!!
We arrived early for an 8:00 and the host gave us some Prosecco while we waited of our table. He apologized for seating us “late” at 8:05. The outdoor seating is fantastic, with dividers between each table and a roof that makes each space feel intimate. The food, as always, was fantastic.
Wait staff was friendly and did not rush us. Also made excellent wine suggestions without going overboard on the price. The food was fresh and nicely presented- overall we had a memorable dinner despite a rainy evening.
Great menu — great food
Amazing service
Super restaurant! Great servers, great food, terrific outdoor socially distant seating, heaters to keep you comfortable when it's cool.
The best table in the city in my opinion. Food is outstanding. A welcome respit, a delightful dinner. I would eat here every night!
Sliders are great. Wholewheat pancakes not my fav
Amazing food, great service. Halibut was amazing. 10/10 as always.
The waitress wasn’t great. She forgot half our order and claimed she “didn’t hear us”. Would’ve been avoided if she actually wrote our order down.
Great customer service and the poached eggs were SO good!
The little owl is one of my favourite spots in NYC and it never disappoints. The food is delicious, their seasonal vegetables a hoot and honesty their fontina and sausage biscuits are otherworldly.
I am still dreaming of the corn dish!! Everything was delicious and great mood!!
Great food with the most charming restaurant and kind staff
Impeccable service, everything we ordered was perfect. The octopus paired with the egg salad was delightful. Highly recommend
So amazing to get back to the Little Owl! The meatball sliders were amazing as usual! Loved the outdoor seating!
Great spot as always! The food here is SO good, the service is always great and friendly, and it's adorable. The outdoor is nicely set up with personal heaters per tables (not applicable to high tops which are lined up next to the bigger tables, but the heaters reach). It's not a cheap place to eat so the value for the food is really more about the quality of ingredients and how good it tastes here vs the portions (which are tiny compared to the price). Just set your expectations accordingly ;)
The best outdoor dining setup in Manhattan, I think.
We had a great lunch at Little Owl. Food, service ambience all perfect .
Been a number of times. Always a good one to have in the repertoire.
Extremely charming setting (great outdoor setup) and delicious house specialties (try the sliders!) - also recommend getting and sharing several appetizers. Service was a little slow (several dishes came out at varying times and drink order had to be placed twice) but otherwise a solid place in the Village!
What a spot! First time dining there after hearing about it for a while. Food was great-- the lamb chops were memorable and the calamari was honestly best I've had. Service was attentive but relaxed. Outdoor dining setup was a dream.
The steak is AWESOME. Same with the corn and the sliders, but the best part is the picturesque little corner of the West Village that it sits on.
Will definitely be coming back!
Food: GREAT
Service: ALWAYS GREAT
Portions: Quite generous!
Warmth and atmosphere: Great as always.
We're never, ever disappointed. Thanks Little Owl!
Excellent food and service!
Cute little spot! The service was great they were so friendly.
Food was delicious - the beignets are a must have!
Made a reservation for brunch but the host said they didn’t have it when my friend arrived and just didn’t try to accommodate. After speaking to someone we were able to be seated.
The service was impeccable - kind, attentive, quick.
Great food and awesome service!
Fanfriggantastic for a date night!!!
Our waitress tried to charge double for our meal and clearly expected we would not notice. Food was decent. Would have gone back for the ambience but will never go back given this experience with our waitress.
Consistently great food and service. Multiple heaters keep you warm outside on cold days.
The food is exceptional. I went two nights in a row and got different items both nights. The eggplant is so light and tasty! I enjoyed the beans as well as the beet salad (though it could have use more beets). The highlight was the halibut. The texture of the fish and how they got the aioli to crust was unreal! And then on a bed of pea shoots and corn!?! It was a spring delight!
Lovely outdoor seating, great service, excellent food
Its just the perfect little charm in the west village.
Lovely evening. Kind and helpful service. Perfect food.
Fabulous. We had such a great night. Recommend for a date or a birthday celebration. Great ambiance.
