                                                      The food at Little Owl was delicious. The  Maitre’d was terrific as was the staff. We will be coming back many times.  One of our friends said it was one of the top five restaurants he’s ever eaten at.

                                                      We've been coming here for years. The food is consistently delicious. Even when they change up the menu. I love the small space. Feels like you're dining in your grandmas dining room. So cozy. The staff is attentive and goes above and beyond.

                                                      What I know and expect from such a jewel of a restaurant.

                                                      Little Owl has become my favorite restaurant, to the point that I have to resist the urge to come here. Food, wine, service--all superlative. The menu and the wine list are continuously changing, reflecting finds in the markets and vineyards. New dishes this time: juicy, rich seared sea scallops atop a divine salad of frisee, hearts of palm and grapefruit; a rich, boldly flavored seafood stew; and a Platonic burrata and figs dressed with balsamic. As always, the fish of the day--this time branzino--was perfectly cooked and served with crunchy paella. The TLO room, while lively, is not deafeningly loud. We drank a sophisticated red from the Langhe in Italy. Perfect with our meal. I wish I lived here.

                                                      We shared the fish of the day branzino over lobster risotto, the beet-bibb lettuce salad and brussel sprouts. All were great. My wife had a cocktail that was very good. Great cozy atmosphere. Look forward to returning in the future.
