About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Charming
Helmed by Executive Chef Bob Ryan, Little Sparrow is a neighborhood "continental" restaurant from Ford Fry. Inspired by Parisian bistros and Brooklyn’s favorite taverns, Little Sparrow picks up the mantle from its beloved predecessor, JCT Kitchen and Bar to serve the Westside in a new incarnation. Named in honor of superstar French chanteuse Edith Piaf (Fry’s Howell Mill Road steakhouse, Marcel, is named after Piaf’s lover, boxer Marcel Cerdan) the menu presents timeless Brasserie classics and simple, indulgent fare including an entire section dedicated to extraordinary "Frites." Dinner is framed by a top-flight cocktail program and a superbly curated wine list, as well as tableside service meant to make every guest feel pampered.

    The ambiance of the restaurant was exceptional and the service was also excellent. They are very attentive and ensure to explain their dishes to you if you ask. Personally me and my party felt as if the food was all a bit too salty. We ordered the Burger and bolognese and they were both a bit salty. We also ordered the french onion soup and it was a tad bit too salty. At the end we wanted something to cleanse our palates so we ordered the basque cheesecake and to our surprise there was a salt glaze on the top of the cheesecake. Needless to say we drank a lot of water that evening. But this could all be our own palates. It’s definitely worth experiencing if you’ve never been, you may love it.

    Absolutely phenomenal, every entrée was delicious and our waitress precious was just that, precious! We sat out in the courtyard and it had such a wonderful ambience, even when it started raining it just got even better. This was our first time, dining at little sparrow, but we will definitely be back.

    Not only was our dinner stunning from start to finish (the cocktails are wonderful), but the assistant manager worked with us all week to facilitate a surprise on the rooftop space for dessert for my daughter’s birthday.

    Poor service. They ask if it’s the first time and then don’t help with any guidance on the menu.

    The service is exceptional. Great attention to detail and servers are knowledgable about the menu. Nice variety in the wine list. The food is delicious - I don't think there's a bad thing on the menu.

    The staff wasn’t incredibly kind and we almost felt like we were annoying our waitress. We were so excited to try the place only to feel incredibly uncomfortable / unwelcome’d.
