    The food at Little Owl remains exceptional in every way. Service is impeccable. I highly recommend all their fish dishes that are some of the best I have had anywhere in the world. The personalized service and setting lends itself to a cozy, charming and attentive feel. I can only recommend Little Owl for any occasion.

    The food and service lived up to the hype. The restaurant was crowded and very noisy. Will go again, but next time for lunch.

    I have always loved the warmth in this restaurant. The staff is overly kind, it is never stuffy. And the food is always beautifully inspired. Holiday decorations were on point as well. Perfect night.

    My wife and I had a lovely anniversary dinner-the restaurant had a low key neighborhood vibe and we felt like regulars even though it was our first time there. Great food great ambiance you can’t go wrong here.

    The Little Owl was not what I expected given the 30 day ahead reservation. It was close to our theater but extremely cramped with people practically right on top of each other. I guess that’s what theater dining is??Food and service were good, but very noisy atmosphere. My eggplant was lukewarm - could have been hotter. Also, no liquor- just wine and beer.
