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 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.

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
