I had been to Little Sparrow once before and was blown away on the food, service, and ambiance but last night was very different. Our waitress wasn’t attentive at all and I waited about 30 minutes for my drink, she never brought us any bread after I had mentioned it, and I had told her we were celebrating an engagement thinking she would bring out a little something at the end of the meal and nothing. My friend got the steak frites and it was almost raw inside. Was just disappointed. She also said she would take off our dessert and didn’t.

Lovely server. French fries were too greasy. Clams had not been rinsed thoroughly and had some sand. Simple salad would have been excellent if it had not been so goopy.

The by the glass wine list is very limited. And there was lack of knowledge in our server regarding the wine. The frites are delicious, the clams were way too salty. Loved the beef tartar, and pasta was yummy. Overall, I do not need to go back but was glad I tried it.

We were excited to try, and left wanting. Menu prices seemed steep considering the offerings. $10 to valet - WTF????? The properly valued cocktails were fantastic. Service was stellar. Cheesecake was bomb. If this is the type of meal you're looking for, go to Kimball House.

This restaurant is a must visit! Everything was spectacular — the service was amazing and so personable, food was delicious! The sourdough baguette and butter are to die for. French onion soup was perfect. The burger was everything you want a burger to be! Perfect fries! And you have to end the meal with the chocolate soufflé and soft serve ice cream. You will be full the entire next day but SO worth it 🤤🤩

Overall the food was amazing. The seating was a bit annoying. Several couples who arrived after us were seated prior to us. Our reservation was for 9:15 and we were not seated until 9:45. The food was amazing and the price point was not prohibitive. Everything was very enjoyable overall.

We were disappointed after the high anticipation. Food was decent but Ford Fry has better options. The service certainly didn’t help at all. We ordered a bottle of wine and it came as we were pretty much done with our entrees. Our server would go missing for 20 minutes at a time. I’ve heard really good things with Bar Blanc upstairs, so I’d suggest trying that before you waste time on little sparrow. It’s a shame because it’s such a great location. Should have never closed JCT. why close when you have something good going on? I’ll attribute it to Ford Fry’s arrogance.

Wonderful food. Waitress was very nice but a little green for this type restaurant. For instance, didn’t tell us the chocolate dessert would take 30 minutes and fhen not asking if we wanted more wine while we waited for dessert.

Loved the new space and ambience, just feel it is overpriced for the food we had. We definitely did not order the expensive items on the menu either! $125 for 2 people who had 1 drink each, split the appetizer of French onion soup, one had the schnitzel and other the cacio e pepe gnocchi, no sides (a la carte) or dessert. Our waiter was attentive, service was great. I was also happy to be able to order a Zero proof cocktail option.

Best food I’ve had since being in France this year. Beets and goat cheese, Aleppo shrimp, artichokes were outstanding. Almond soft serve with salted chocolate is hilariously large, but delectable. Truly creamy. Tasted the crème caramel - just right. The halibut was a little overdone for me, but flavorful. Service is impeccable and delightful. When asked if we needed anything else, I casually mentioned “oh just some bread to take home.” The waitstaff brought it in a bag with my receipt - no charge. Class act. Cocktails were perfect.

Truly one of the best meals I've had in Atlanta in the past decade. As an ATL native, I'm used to a lot of restaurants popping up and fizzling out, but Little Sparrow feels different. The food is high quality, the drinks are well-crafted, and the service is attentive. I started my experience at the bar with a personable and friend bar tender who promptly delivered my drink (Encore! Encore!). Once seated, I ordered the French Onion Soup - packed with flavor and perfectly cheesy. The entree was the scallops with a side of pommes aligot...a dish that I will dream about for the next few months at least! We finished our dinner with a souffle, which was dreamy!

Food was delicious, service was a little slow, I know they were busy and they like to pace it slower for fine dining but it was just a little slower than preferable. I wish I remembered our waiters name though, he was an absolute hoot. Such a fun personality and he made wonderful recommendations. It was also a little loud. They could turn down the music a hair. The French onion soup was to die for. They also give you a whole baguette which was a happy surprise. The French fries were unlike anything we’d ever had. We got both the cheese and aioli and preferred the aioli although both were excellent. We had the burger and the poulet, both were insanely good. We’d both get the burger next time. We had the cheesecake for dessert but next time would try the chocolate soufflé. We left stuffed and very happy indeed.

Appetizers were great but the entrees and drinks were really not. The steak is actually ground beef and overly salty, cacio e pepe is hard balls of cheese, the scallops are good but you get 3 scallops for $49 and the only side options are potatoes or artichokes. The vodka martini also tasted like jet fuel. Really disappointing.

I will start by saying I am a Ford Fry fan. Went early during their service this evening and had a relatively good experience. The service was solid and the bread was amazing. We had the Aleppo Shrimp to start as well as a few cocktails. The drinks are fantastic as well as the apps. The entrees are where thing started to fall short. The steak hache was god enough but not worth $45. The fries are where I really was disappointed. The texture was good but everything was insanely greasy. Oil everywhere. On top of that, the fries were pretty much salt bombs. I love salt, but this was next level. I would say if you go, stick with the amazing drinks and apps. Skip the fries or ask for them less salty.. could be they were just having an off night.

Phenomenal experience. TK is both knowledgeable and personable. The food could not have been better. Everyone in my party was equally impressed. Aleppo shrimp, duck liver terrine, French onion soup, chicken schnitzel, halibut, scallops, the dripping potatoes, the wine, the cocktails, and the mocktails 10’s across the board. You’ve got a guest and cheerleader for life.
