About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    First, we loved Fry's previous restaurant in this location. And miss it. it would have been great if he had kept it and added LS. But the Sparrow is excellent. Easy to park, enthusiastic front of house folks greet you, Epiphany was the best server ever, the food is top notch and it's a lively and fun place. I could live on wine and the bread service alone. When they first opened the butter was like a massive iceberg afloat in a pool of olive oil. They have scaled back on that but gladly bring more. The tomatoes, shrimp and pate starters were devoured. Then we took on the excellent mains. All terrific. Desserts were outstanding. Oddly, the cheesecake was the favorite. It's light, fluffy with kind of a custard feel to it. We had two birthday celebrations which were noted and made special by Epiphany and the team. Thanks.

    Love the vibe! Bread service at no charge is unheard of these days so that really stands out. The onion soup is to die for and could be shared if you want enough appetite to be able to eat your entree. Minus one star on Food category because the “dripping potatoes” side was inedible. They’re bland, boiled? and literally just dripping in animal fat and oil.

    I don’t care to share info about the experience publicly. I’ve been to LS multiple times and have always enjoyed it immensely. This most recent visit was not great, but again, not the typical experience.

    The food and service were terrific, as always. Sam, our server, did a great job, and Precious, who has handled our table several times in the past and become our friend, stopped by to welcome us and check on us. The hostess and other servers who helped were all friendly and very helpful. All in all, a great experience.

    This was our first time at Little Sparrow and we chose it for a special date night. I went in with no expectations but just excited to try new things. Our waitress, Z, was truly lovely and elevated the experience more so. She never steered us wrong in her recommendations and the food was genuinely so lovely. I would highly recommend Little Sparrow to a friend and would come back again next time I’m in Atlanta.
