About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
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.

    Amazing service. Delicious meal. Best frites in town. Still drooling thinking about them and the scallops. And save room for soft serve. Just trust me. The olive oil and honey drizzled soft serve is life changing. 10/10 experience

    We had a lovely server. She is very knowledgeable about the menu. The bread, French onion soup and desserts were delicious. The La Vie En Rose was good and the fries were delicious. Beautiful atmosphere!

    Exceptional, as always. Chef Bob Ryan and his team continue to impress with flawlessly executed French classics that are as technically perfect as they are soulfully delicious. Each dish was a masterclass in balance and flavor. The service matches the caliber of the cuisine with warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality. Truly the best in Atlanta!

    My experience was pretty bad. I arrived at the restaurant a bit early. I told the host my name for my reservations, and she said 2 times she could not find my name. Just to realize she did not scroll down at all. On top of that, the restaurant was empty, instead of asking if I'd like to be seated on time or a bit early. I was told to get or drink, or I can stand til it's time, just for them to come back 10 mins later and still seat me early. Just didn't make sense. Then, my server completely forgot to put in my food. Meanwhile, people from other parties came up to me and my wife. They got their food and were done before the waiter came back over and realized he had made a mistake. I was in no extreme rush, and I know things can happen. But there was a large gap in time between his visiting the table and realizing there might be something wrong. I can't say I won't be back because, honestly, I feel like he made a mistake. However, having gone to plenty of restaurants in the area, there should be a shared responsibility with managers and other servers working to realize that there was a big problem brewing.
