Skip the line at the other brunch place around the corner, and come to this place instead! We came on an early Monday morning just after they opened. Love the cozy interiors and friendly and attentive staff. Food and drinks were served within ten minutes of being seated. Highly recommend the poached eggs (delicious pork patty!), smoked salmon toast and the beignets. I’ll definitely take some of my friends to eat at this place when they come into the city.

Little Owl was established in 2006. I have had this restaurant in my radar for many years but it took me 19 years to finally dine here. I wish I discovered this gem of a restaurant sooner. The vibe is of a comfy cozy neighborhood restaurant. We enjoyed the French onion soup, meatball sliders and the Bibb and Beets salad. The salad was absolutely delicious and worth coming back for that dish alone. I enjoyed my non-alcoholic drink but found the desserts a tad too sweet for my taste. The service was excellent. Jorge was especially hospitable and made us feel welcomed. I will be back soon.

I had an incredible experience at Little Owl. Suggested to me by a friend‘s mother. It did not disappoint. If you’re going, definitely get the halibut. A very unique yet simple way of cooking the fish. The story goes that it used to be grilled until the grill went out in the first week and they’ve decided to broil ever since. They really go over and above to make sure you’re comfortable as well. It was very nice to feel well taken care of.

Great spot! Food and services top notch. We had the burgers, Gemilli and fish tacos.
Highly recommend! We had a great experience on this snowy winter day.

Little Owl — tucked right under the iconic “Friends” apartment building — is a must-stop in the West Village. Cozy, welcoming, and absolutely delicious. The meatball is non-negotiable: tender, perfectly seasoned, and sauced just right. Service is friendly, the vibe is intimate, and every plate feels thoughtfully made. Come hungry, order the meatball first, and grab a quick photo outside afterward. Perfect NYC spot!

We honestly came just to have a few pictures of the location and we ended up having brunch. Probably one of the best meals we had in New York so far! Really nice! Also, staff was helpful, smiling and respectful. Congrats!

This by far the best food I have ever had at a restaurant. The eggplant parmigiana was amazing. The black sea bass with garlic parm risotto was amazing. Service was amazing! We found out about this place from a West Village local and it was the highlight of our visit the area.

Didn’t get to eat here since it was closed, but as a Friends fan, this spot is a must-see! The Little Owl sits right under the famous apartment building, and it’s such a surreal moment standing there in person after seeing it on screen so many times. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the West Village, even just for the photo.
