    The Little Owl never disappoints!! We had a phenomenal dinner from start to finish. Our server, Dani, was incredible!!! She had total command of the menu and gave excellent recommendations. She was extremely friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and efficient and paced our meal perfectly. Wish we could have a server like her everywhere! Drinks were great (loved the refreshing Sangria!) as were the salads. The salads were all fantastic. I especially loved the bibb lettuce one with sunflowers. So good!! The grilled corn side was out of this world as was the halibut. Desserts also rocked - we had the brownie and the strawberry rhubarb crisp. The atmosphere at the Little Owl is great, too. A+ all the way around!

    Had a wonderful dinner here with two friends. The venue is a bit small and intimate which was probably the reason for the slight delay to be seated. The staff were very pleasant and attentive and apologetic about the unavoidable wait time. The food was outstanding from the complementary fries they gave us because we had to wait to the appetizers and entrées. They were all well presented and tasted delicious. Even the cappuccino was much better than I expected. Will definitely dine here again. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the fries were the best fries I’ve ever eaten.

    From our initial greeting to the cozy space, to the wonderful (and creative) menu options, we felt so relaxed and welcomed. Food was delicious (we were there for brunch and had chilaquiles and cheesy grits, which were both perfectly seasoned). Good vegetarian options. Nice staff and service was seamless. Really a gem.
    Little OwlResponded on June 23, 2025
    Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Felicia. This is exactly the type of feedback we hope for and let's us know we're right on track. We're happy to hear you enjoyed your brunch and found the menu to have lots of vegetarian options. Speaking of which - you HAVE to try the Grilled & Roasted Corn offered at both lunch & dinner. You won't regret it 😉. Give us a call and we'll book your next reservation🦉✨
