    Little Owl is one of my favorite NYC restaurants. The service is friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is special. Usually the food is terrific and great value. This meal was pretty ordinary, and the final bill was also pretty outrageous for what we ordered. I may not return for brunch.
    Little OwlResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your honest feedback, David. We truly appreciate your kind words about our service and ambiance. We’re disappointed to hear that your most recent meal didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to deliver the best possible experience for our guests, so we very much value all feedback. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future, and we’d love to make your next visit a memorable one. 🦉✨

    The service is outstanding. We were late for our dinner and on the way our friend tripped on the sidewalk and face planted. Bloody forehead and nosecut badly. I ran to Little Owl and grabbed a towel and the Manager came out with bandaids and ice. It was 22 degrees out and she walked one block to us to help. Once insdie they took great care of us.

We’re glad that you felt supported not only by the staff but also by the care and attention to detail.

    Always a pleasure! From the moment you enter Little Owl, a wonderful evening begins with a warm and sincere greeting. The menu isn’t huge but has such variety that you’ll have a difficult time choosing. It’s Dry January but fear not - a sophisticated list of mocktails are on offer. The room is cozy and romantic yet casual and welcoming. Neighbourhood-y in the very best way. Service is attentive - not too much yet not too little. A fave for us every time we are in NYC.
    Little OwlResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Sandra! We take pride in offering a seasonal menu that’s both diverse and approachable, so we're glad you appreciate the variety. We're especially happy to hear that our mocktail options made your Dry January just a little easier! It means the world to us that you consider Little Owl a favorite whenever you're in NYC, and we can’t wait to welcome you back the next time you're in the West Village! 🦉✨
