                                                      Little Owl has become my favorite restaurant, to the point that I have to resist the urge to come here. Food, wine, service--all superlative. The menu and the wine list are continuously changing, reflecting finds in the markets and vineyards. New dishes this time: juicy, rich seared sea scallops atop a divine salad of frisee, hearts of palm and grapefruit; a rich, boldly flavored seafood stew; and a Platonic burrata and figs dressed with balsamic. As always, the fish of the day--this time branzino--was perfectly cooked and served with crunchy paella. The TLO room, while lively, is not deafeningly loud. We drank a sophisticated red from the Langhe in Italy. Perfect with our meal. I wish I lived here.

                                                      Exceptional in every way! The Little Owl never disappoints. The food is outrageous. The staff is welcoming. The vibe is New York at its finest! Our favorite place for every occasion when we are lucky enough to score a table!

                                                      We shared the fish of the day branzino over lobster risotto, the beet-bibb lettuce salad and brussel sprouts. All were great. My wife had a cocktail that was very good. Great cozy atmosphere. Look forward to returning in the future.
