Amazing food and excellent service. They also have a great outdoor setup, the night we went the real feel was 17, but each table has its own overhead heater as well as one to aim at your legs, we were very comfortable considering how cold it was.
Best burger ever, lovely server, great outdoor seating set up. I'm so happy we braved the cold because brunch warmed us all up:)
10/10!!! Excellent burger and Caesar salad
They’re trying
One of our favorite spots. I come here with a group, and every single time we are blown away by the service. Jordan is outstanding!
Lovely dinner experience in a covid world. They have good winter structure outside with heaters. Service and food were great as always.
Outdoor with heaters at each table. Food delicious as always. Nice to see it’s busy still with outdoor only option.
The server forgot my entree. Then it came undercooked.
Portions were very small for the price. Two tiny tacos for $23??? And the chilaquiles looked like a plate of flamin hot doritos. Waiter forgot my companion’s poached eggs and took forever to bring out.
We've loved the little owl for years but were SO IMPRESSED with the outside dining situtation. Food and service was just as amazing as ever and the dining felt very safe with amazing heaters. COVID set up was so impressive and on a cold night we were warm and well-fed. Thanks to the amazing little owl team working so hard to make that happen!
The pork chop never disappoints with a couple new additions to the menu. As delicious as always! Can't wait to be back!!!
Four of us had dinner and four of us felt sick afterwards. Not a good sign.
Family dinner.
Great food.
Incredible staff
Outdoor seating has heater at your feet and above. So glad to be able to take off my coat and eat comfortably and really enjoyed the delicious meal. Has catch of the day fish entree LOVED. Would totally go back again.
The wait staff attentive and sweet.
Yes totally support NYC restaurants and their staff throughout this pandemic!
Made a reservation and got a table inside the partially enclosed tent. There were plastic partitions between each table and each table had it's own heater - it was quite lovely, and very comfortable.
The french toast was good, but even for NYC standards was a bit small for $15. My bellini was also $15, and with Little Owl choosing to charge the COVID recovery tax (5%, which I'm not necessarily against), my small brunch came to $40 with tax. It's a lot to ask for eating in the elements, but the service was very good and it was nice to have an in-person meal with a friend!
Lovely! Food was amazing! Service was lovely (thank you Katie!!) They have done their outdoor space better than most! This lifetime NYer just found her new favorite!!!
We were greeted by the charming hostess and seated at the outside table. The menu is as wonderful as always and the service outstanding. A wonderful experience particularly during the current times.
WONDERFUL! Even in a pandemic we had the best time.
Little Owl is one of those places where we always have a wonderful time and their pandemic-plan outdoor space did not change that one bit. On a cold night, we were warm and well-fed and very happy...and also felt quite safe with the precautions!
Food was delicious. Service was outstanding.
Great food and really nice outdoor dining set up!
They have great outdoor seating that is warm and comfortable and the food never disappoints!
Still putting out great food in a pleasant atmosphere despite being restricted to outdoor dining
Wonderful dining experience and excellent food. The restaurant has heaters above and underneath the table so it was still warm on a chilly night (even with one side completely open air.) Skate tacos and halibut were delicious.
Always a great experience. Props for transforming the winter outdoor dining experience to an enjoyable evening. Heaters above and below!
The Little Owl has been my standby restaurant throughout the pandemic and continues to provide delicious food, friendly and competent service, and provide heat lamps which have become essential during the winter months. I do wish they would provide more lunch-like items on the menu at lunch, which is my only suggestion. Cheers.
Cheers to the little owl to make Covid era outdoor winter dining in January both comfortable and enjoyable . The service was a bit hovering and seemed as though they wanted us out as quickly as possible . The italian wedding soup should be avoided . Perhaps it got cold due to the challenges of the aforementioned outdoor requirements. However the pork chop and the salmon were both some of the very BEST we have ever had. Tasty, perfect portions and cooked and seasoned and paired with sides to perfection ! Cheers !!!
Delicious bite sized tapas and the Sangria was phenomenal!
Fantastic meal as always! Katie was a terrific server!
Just perfect
Amazing outdoor set up, food is delicious, and service was the best!
We went for my birthday lunch. It was simply amazing. The outdoor set up is warm, beautiful winter decorations, glass divider between tables. The wait staff was so friendly and accommodating. I can’t wait to go back!
Nice outdoor set up. Service was very quick and friendly. Brunch portions were on the smaller side so order a side.
Great drinks!
My favorite restaurant in the city. Food and ambiance is amazing.
Nice way to ring in the New Year! Great food and service.
Some of the dishes were good but the pancakes were the driest I’ve ever had and the risotto looked and tasted like it was made by a home cook. On a positive not the outdoor set-up is wonderful.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere...we will be back and recommend to all, CLASSIC village spot.
Love the people love the place !
Always consistently excellent with food and service plus the most adorable NYC restaurant
Fabulous outdoor dining on. We Yesrs eve — entire staff was amazing
We really enjoyed the New Year’s Eve dinner at Little Owl. The food was fantastic. Even being outside was nice as the restaurant has made outdoor dining enjoyable with heat lamps & very cute, disable light fixtures on the table. It kind of felt like being in both Paris and New York.
