First time visiting and was seated about 5 minutes early for my reservation. It was just my wife and I for dinner and what I can say is the food is large. Family style restaurant and would recommend for more than 2 people. With that said, we had chicken parm and pasta and the fried zucchini. Both fantastic. With drinks our bill was about $140.00 which was really reasonable for the amount of food you get. All in all, great place and great food and drink.

The little owl is a true neighborhood gem. It's super small and cozy. The brunch menu was varied, something for everyone. Fun cocktails. The true stand out was the staff. So friendly, so accommodating. They let us stay as long as we wanted to well after service had ended as we finished a bottle of wine. You can tell they enjoy working there and with each other. We had a fabulous experience and will definitely be back.
