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.

    Awesome restaurant with amazing food and even better service. The entire team works very well together. Our server was very engaging and just such a pleasant person. Overall a fantastic experience. Two areas to improve, the experience was slow and we were eating after the dinner rush. It was a little over a 2 hour experience which would be nice for a couple on a date to learn more about each other, but for a meal after 9 pm seems like a 1/2 hour too long. Other slight knock would be value, a bit higher on the costa than the quality, not completely out of bounds but a bit higher than expected. We spent $100+ which we expected based on other reviews.

    The souffle was dry - not very good at all. We did like the hot chocolate - which is more of a pudding consistency.

    Let's start with arrival. Little Sparrow has parking problems. We pulled up to the valet after waiting ten minutes in line to be told that they were full and we had to find our own parking. Dinner was very nice. We started with the steam clams and the broth was delicious. The dover sole was an entire fish deboned table side and served with a bur blanc sauce. Beautiful! However, that was the entire plate, not a green in sight. I had the chocolate souffle. It took 20 minutes to prepare. It was OK. Not as light as it should have been. Our server was nice but not as helpful as the server next to us. Our server did NOT offer suggestions or explanations of the menu. He answered our questions with as little description as possible. The waitress next to us went into lengthy involved explanations. Also, I have never been to a restaurant that serves souffles and they do not ask ahead of time so you aren't waiting so long for dessert. The restaurant is has a pretty bistro vibe and it's extremely loud. Overall, dinner was good, but it did not deserve a Michelin star or a 25 mile drive.

    Great find in Atlanta with the feel of Europe. Different and delicious offerings. Desserts looked great but we’ll have to wait until the next time.

    Very rich French food, but everything is not to be missed. Fries are very unique, loved the chicken schnitzel, as well as the soft serve
