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 onion soup and NY strip were fantastic. As good as the food was, the service was even better. Every person we met (especially Yancey) was so nice and helpful. We will definitely be back.

    Our first visit to Little Sparrow and it exceeded our expectations. The bread service, the french onion soup, the burger, the chocolate souffle and soft serve bananas foster were all amazing! The service was impeccable. Can't wait to go back!

    Had a reservation and got there 15 minutes earlier and they were able to kindly seat us. Place is gorgeous and ambiance was warm. Bri took care of us and was spectacular, super patient, attentive and thorough on explaining the menu to us. Food was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. Don’t skip the soft serve with olive oil, it was incredible!

    Little Sparrow is beautiful and very popular! The food was pretty good. It was not as great as most of Ford Fry’s dishes. However, I ordered the chicken and I probably should have ordered something a little more exciting. Our table was ready when we got there, so we were seated right away. Our waiter was very friendly and as attentive as he could be. However, I felt like the establishment was overcrowded and understaffed. It had nothing to do with our waiter being inattentive, he just seemed to have lots of tables and was spread too thin. With that being said, we would have ordered more wine, a dessert and coffee. However, it took so long to get bread and our first drinks that we decided to order dinner and go elsewhere for an after dinner drink and dessert. However, it’s a very special place and we will be back for sure! A week night might be a little less busy.

    Flawless experience at Little Sparrow last night! My husband and I went for a nice dinner before our baby is born next week. The team at Little Sparrow went above and beyond to ensure that it was a special night! Everything was perfection!

    Our 3rd visit, food beverages and service were consistently excellent. Our server Epiphany was the model of service excellence! My continued disappointment is the genre of music and the volume, which is more suitable to a club and not a dining environment; a major detractor from the overall dining experience. Although we’ve enjoyed the food, service and beverages, the music and the volume will definitely keep me away for a while.
