Food was fabulous - nice flavors and presentation. Salads, pan seared chicken and steak were all flavorful and well presented. Disappointing that corkage is limited to 1 bottle, but not a big deal. May prevent us from going back if we have 4 people who all drink wine. No round tables, so if you have 5, one sits at head of the table. Overall great food and service!

We made a special reservation to visit Pera Soho again when we returned to New York from the West Coast. Our first time there was amazing and this return trip did not disappoint. We loved the service, the beautiful outdoor ambiance and the food was incredible once again. We highly recommend this restaurant for an enjoyable evening with great food. We will be back again on our next trip to NYC.

    Honestly, my Wife and I try to eat at Little Owl once a week. I’ve said this before, and I will say it again, in my opinion, the best food hands down in New York City. Whether you get brunch, lunch or dinner the food is always amazing. Not only is the food amazing, the entire staff is amazing. Everyone, I mean everyone is so friendly and accommodating. If you have never been to Little Owl, do yourself a favor and go. I promise, you will be amazed at the food and the people.
