For Jeff’s Birthday Dinner #3, we headed to a restaurant we’ve been looking forward to for some time, The Little Owl. This tiny restaurant in the Village features seasonal menu items with a Mediterranean influence. The food here was excellent – rustic with incredible flavor – I think we liked it better than Market Table, which we also really enjoyed.
Gravy Meatball Sliders
~This is one of The Little Owl’s signature dishes and we would definitely have missed out if we skipped them – they were amazing! It’s a pretty big dish – I could actually eat this for a main – luckily Jeff helped me out.~
Skillet Braised Calamari – lardo croutons, spinach, and basil broth
Mexican Corn – off the cob
~Also an amazing dish. Jeff asked what exactly was in it, but the server wouldn’t give up the recipe.~
Crispy Chicken – asparagus home fries, lemon, sherry, and dijon
The Pork Chop – parmesan butter beans, and wild dandelion
~This signature dish was also wonderful – the broth was full of flavor.~
Raspberry Beignets
~These sounded and looked delicious. But to be honest, they were very dry….
…we asked for extra raspberry sauce which helped add some moisture.~
