Recs for Little Owl?
Going there for the first time tonight. A quick scan of the board and other foodie blogs says the sliders, pork chop, crispy chicken and raspberry beignets are the way to go. What say you all, Hounds?

On 3 previous occasions and i either ordered either that superb pork chop or the good, juicy roast chicken. Then 2 weeks ago, I went for the halibut dish and they didn't miss a beat. That was a very nice fish dish.
I agree that the scallops appetizers are pretty good, too.

Just to report back - we got the sliders and the cavatelli. I really liked both - the cavatelli being quite special. We really loved the courteous, laid-back, and friendly service. The halibut was a winner - I found the pork chop to be good but quite overwhelming. Dessert was the beignets, mint tea, and a glass of blackberry cava. I'll definitely come back and try other things!

Great food, the only thing I would not order again is the Meat Ball Sliders, it's nothing special and I found them bland. Everything else we had was outstanding. I loved the scallops and the halibut. The others at our table were all raving about their meals so you can't go wrong, whatever you order.

re: deitcja
you can but this place seems to have the west village mesmerized...waits are usually ridiculously long. i ate here once at 10:30pm...luckily it actually worked out.
the sliders...yes, not so great...also pretty messy if yr on a date. the pork chop was good...nothing amazing.
but the place works...service is friendly, nice space...just what everyone wants...a great little restaurant in the west village with solid food.
get the strawberry rhubarb crisp if they have it.

Yes, but you have to get there ridiculously early. They reserve all tables except two tables for two each night, so you've got a chance to get one of those if you get there before 6 or so. They open at 5pm for dinner, so my boyfriend and I were there by 5:10 and were seated immediately.

Not to mention that it seems to seat about 30 max, and that includes a few seats at the bar.
If you really REALLY want to eat there, just go on OpenTable and search for next available, around midnight. You'll find a few tables for 5:30/6pm and 9/9:30pm approximately a month in advance.

re: kathryn
Are you talking about weekends?
We walked in a few weeks back on a Tuesday night at approximately 8:45, the place was packed and we had no reservation.
The hostess told us to come back in about 45 minutes. We went for a couple of drinks and when we came back we were promptly seated.

I went a couple of months ago with my girlfriend. The place is great. We had the sliders which are really good and the heirloom tomato and onion salad. Both were very good, and a nice way to start. Then we split the pork chop (which is huge) and got a side of grilled asparagus. The pork chop is a must, the chicken also looked good. We finished with the beignets which I really liked, mostly because of the warm nutella.

I went there for the first time about two weeks ago with my boyfriend. We had the arugula and peaches salad, the sliders, the pork chop, and the halibut. All were excellent, although we weren't wowed by the sliders. Maybe we were expecting something out of this world because of the hype; they were really good, but we both agreed they weren't the best part of the meal. I think that distinction would likely go to the halibut, which came with a great pea-and-corn salad and pesto (and I'm not a huge pesto fan) and was perfect for a hot summer evening.
