    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.

    Cozy, timeless Greenwich Village gem. Tables are close together and it can be noisy but people are easygoing and happy. The staff is welcoming and friendly.

    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.

    They were attentive and friendly. The food was cooked with fresh ingredients and they were served quickly. We liked the small local ambiance. Only dislike were the beignets are more like donut holes rather than the typical New Orleans style.
