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.

    Cannot recommend this spot . We had high expectation as a Ford Fry restaurant . Service (TK ) excellent under clearly difficult kitchen conditions. We ordered three appetizers, three entrées three drinks, two glasses of wine and the check is over $100 PER PERSON Small cup Onion soup $17 , Really ? “French Brasseries” don’t charge $100 per person We had clams (too spicy to eat ) onion soup ($17 !), and Gnudi (3 large scoops with sauce and served cold !). Then two orders of Lasagna (chicken ?) that were again served cold ( nearly lukewarm) on cold plates and one Dover Sole ($69) served lukewarm again on cold plate with butter sauce that was starting to reset because it was not hot and with undercooked capers ( at least 2 tablespoons ) which overpower the delicate fish . I intentionally touched the serving plate the sole came to the table on….it too was on a cold plate ! The Dover Sole for $69 (which I fully understand ) came with no side at all just the fish on a plate ! My guess is you don’t have a service problem (welcome and waitstaff really nice) , you have a kitchen problem and while I don’t expect Mr. Fry to be in the kitchen. I do expect that with multiple restaurants he have supervision over the kitchens to assure the right people are in place and that the food is hot and outstanding, especially at such high prices. (In a bistro the least expensive glass of white wine does not need to be 17 dollars plus tax and tip) . The menu is very limited, which I understand, but that being the case it should have more items more traditional to a French brasserie that will bring people back. This is not a restaurant I would return to.

    Delicious food! Table was a bit drafty and glass wine list was very limited. Servers were very attentive. We will be back!

    Four of us enjoyed dinner on a Wednesday evening. The ambience set the mood for a great meal to follow. Our waitress offered a good deal of positive suggestions. They brought us French bread and Kerry butter. We ordered their frites to start. With our entre the table shared a legume/vegetable plate and with the bread and the frites it was easy for both couples to each share an entre and still have leftovers to take home. We had the lasagne (out of this world) ant the other couple had “la vie en rose”.

    We truly enjoyed our experience at Little Sparrow. The food was quite good, but our experience was really set apart from others due to our amazing server, Kelli!

    What an incredible night of delicious food, exceptional service and a beautiful restaurant to celebrate Valentine's. Our server, Jose, was one of the best servers we have ever had. He was fun, knowledgeable, always there when we needed him. We ordered the French Onion Soup and the Mixed Salad to start, both were on point. My husband ordered their version of Steak Frites, a chopped ribeye basted in butter and thyme and served with the best frites! I ordered the Sole, deboned table side, it literally melted in my mouth. Dessert was Chocolate Souffle and Cheesecake...both again were made to perfection. We will definetly be back...sooner than later!
