Went to The Little Owl for the 1st time last night. West Village. Tiniest place ever… loved the food! Hated the corkage - $50! But probably would go back. Very good stems. Will have to drink our wine in the ‘wait chairs’ outside.
Very nice meal last night at Wallflower, a tiny restaurant in the Village, that is a sister to The Eddy. $30 corkage with proper, good quality stems and knowledgeable wine service. The owner and beverage director are wine lovers and conveyed that they encourage BYO and love to see people drinking great wine in the restaurant. Their wine and cocktail program are also taken seriously.
That’s very sweet of you, Dan. I was going to put some more details about the food in the NYC Restaurant thread under Epicurean Exploits, but hadn’t gotten around to it yet. Last night was my first time there, and I in fact hadn’t even heard of it until my date for the evening suggested it. It’s a short menu, with both an a la carte option and a tasting option. We ordered a la carte and enjoyed all our dishes very much. Not a you’ve-got-to-run-out-and-try-it place, more of a oh-I-know-where-we-should-eat place. Might be hard for larger people as the space is quite tight.
