                                        Little Owl is a "gem" in NYC's West Village, offering "excellent food" and "lovely staff" in a "cozy, charming" setting. Known for its "fantastic service" and "amazing atmosphere," it consistently impresses with dishes like "meatball sliders" and "halibut." Patrons appreciate its "intimate" vibe, despite being "a bit noisy" at times. Highly recommended!

                                          Very small but fun place to eat. Entertaining to watch a steady stream of people photographing the building from across the street. Had not appreciated the link to Friends….Great food, would recommend.
