    Third time really was the charm at Little Sparrow I had made reservations three times before this and kept having to cancel because of my husband... so this time I basically dragged him in--and let me tell you, it was SO worth it. He was literally speechless by the end (which says everything). We did it right: Bread & butter service (obviously ), French onion soup that was rich and perfect, clams that disappeared way too fast, and the burger... if you know, you KNOW. She was THICCC and absolutely unreal. And then the grand finale: Snickers soft serve. Oh. My. God. 10/10, no notes. Already planning my next reservation--and this time, no cancellations

    Baguette and butter

    Love bar blanc so of course had to try little sparrow! It gets super busy so make sure you have a reservation before you go. Parking is paid in the lot behind the restaurant and maybe they validate it but we were there all afternoon so we just paid for 5 hours for about $15. We started with their complimentary bread and butter (so AMAZING) and then shared some frites. I had the chicken schnitzel and Alex had a beef cheek ravioli. I loved everything that we had and would absolutely get it again! We ended the night with some honey and evoo ice cream and took home a takeout loaf! Service was also exceptional and we always had food on the table and waters/drinks filled!

    Genepy Highball Cocktail

    Yes, worth the hype and wait to get in (reservation typically required for a prime night of the week!!) This was one of the coziest ambiance's I've been in in a while. The place was absolutely buzzing, so service was actually a bit slow, but our server Sean was still incredible. Among the MANY highlights to include in this culinary recap was the BREAD SERVICE with a slab of ice cream-scooped-style butter on oil to dip. YUM Nothing not to love, except the classically quaint portions of a high-end restaurant. Delicious from top to bottom!

    Frites with raclette

    Valet and self parking is available. This parking lot gets pretty busy because there are so many businesses in the area. We made reservations via open table. The host called the day before and checked in which was nice. I did indicate that we were celebrating a birthday and having our valentines celebration. We were sat promptly. As far as service, he was informative, provided recommendations. He got us a round of drinks for a celebratory birthday toast that was comped. The server that brought the drinks spilled 3 drinks on one of my friends but was very apologetic. This is where service got a little slow and again while we waited for our checks. For food starters we tried the raclette frites, hamachi, French onion soup and the Aleppo shrimp. There is also bread service. My friend who ordered the Aleppo wasn't thrilled but i really liked it. It had a good lemon zest and the pepper gave it a kick. The frites were really good- thick cut with a crispy exterior and soft fluffy interior. For entrees we had mezzaluna pasta, the burger and frites, bolognese and the scallops. I tasted the burger. It was good but not my favorite. - it wasn't crisp enough for me. I prefer a smashed burger. The Mezzaluna had braised beef. I thought it was really good. My sister had the scallops and they were good, cooked to perfection but still not sure it's worth the price since no sides and it's only 4.

    We were weary to try French food because we love flavor and WOW THIS DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The best French onion soup hands down, amazing bread service, delicious scallops, the cheese appetizer with hazelnuts was so flavorful as well! Don't sleep on the frites- very crispy and fresh--loved the garlic aoli to dip and it was top notch- we got cheese on half the frites! The drinks were all so so good! We went upstairs to the cute bar they have and grabbed some espresso martinis to end the night! The ambiance is so adorable!

    La Vie en Rose (ground NY strip) and fries

    A very classy establishment with waiters in waistcoats, custom crafted menus, decorative plates, and beautiful decor. The jazz is a bit cliche but somewhat helps captures a 1938 Paris vibe. The valet had not set up when we arrived, and made us move our car after parking because those spots are not marked. Most of the service was attentive, although our waiter didn't visit our table often enough and I couldn't get a drink refill as he was out in the courtyard socializing with his coworkers. The food is great and the baguette was perfection. I had the La Vie en Rose, which is ground steak made from ground NY strip. It was served with nice crispy fries. My wife had the burger and thought it was great and the onions are sauteed rather than caramelized, which is a nice touch since it offered a nice crunch and didn't bring an overpowering sweetness to it.

    This is a great spot that's ducked off just enough to give you the the privacy you need and the and sexy enough to make any date night feel like an adventure. The staff is very friendly, the food is prepared with close attention, and the ambiance is second to none. I can't wait to become a regular here. Pro tip: get the frites!!!

    Just thinking back on this meal I'm getting full. I loved the ambiance, and the remodel from the old JCT made the restaurant feel like a completely new space. We started for a few beverages and the house made sourdough and butter. It was delicious! For appetizers, we had the French onion soup, which was rich with the melted cheese, but complex with the flavorful broth. Next up were the frites with aioli. I don't know how they make these, but they are crispy, light and fluffy on the inside. For the entree, we shad the chicken and it was rich and complex. Dessert we kept a little lighter with the fancy soft serve with winter citrus, and it was the perfect ending to the meal.

    Onion soup
    Amanda C.

    We had dining credit from our CSR and made a reso for 6pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was about 30-40% full. By 6:30/7 it was a full house! From the start you are greeted by friendly staff and are seating in the restaurant's beautiful and cozy ambiance. It was a vibe for sure, with warm dimmed lights and thoughtfully designed touches. We ordered the onion soup, slow roasted beef, burger, and basque cheesecake. They started us off with the housemade baguette which was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The generous amount of butter was perfectly salted with maldon salt! The onion soup was super cheesy and rich with carmelized onions. I did wish it was a bit less thick but we still really enjoyed it. The burger was a lot larger than we thought it'd be and it was one of the best burgers we've ever had - so flavorful and juicy. Frites crispy and light. The 18oz steak was HUGE and we couldn't finish. It was also super tasty and texture was great. The basque cheesecake was yummy and had a nice balance between sweet and salty. Not too sweet. They also shared some housemade coconut chai caramels with us which was a nice touch! Can't wait to come back during our next special occasion.

    Embracing the beauty around me, one rosé-colored moment at a time~ Dinner @ Little Sparrow absolutely soared past my expectations This @michelinguide recommended gem in West Midtown nails that cozy, intimate & charming vibe while still delivering impeccable service & delectable food. 10/10 We ordered the Steak & Frites, Scallops & French Onion Soup, and WOW-- everything tasted amazing & full of flavors!! The French Onion Soup is def the highlight, completely soul-warming & one of the best I've ever had. We paired it w/ Matthiasson Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa for a captivating & well-balanced finish. I didn't get a chance to document much & pictures does no justice to this place. Do yourself a favor & come check it out. You can thank me later lol

    Soft serve
    Meredith S.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Little Sparrow When you first walk in it's absolutely beautiful! The bar is stunning and the rest of the restaurant is just as beautiful. Food is always super tasty (the French Onion soup is my fave). Most recently I tried their orange wine which was super funky, but so GOOD. And you have to save room for their soft serve at the end. The servers always do an amazing job and make the entire meal a fab experience.

    Burger with fries doused in raclette
    Almira F.

    Wednesday 6pm - My colleagues and I were visiting from nyc some local clients and left it up to them to choose the restaurant. What a great choice , loved the bistro feel (similar to pastis in the city ) , decor , the service was impeccable. We took the servers starters recommendations and had the shrimp , mussels while I chose the baguette , butter, and the rilette ( different but good from the ones I had , this one was Anchony based ) . Strangely enough, for main, we have burgers and steaks ( 3 burgers and 4 steaks ). Verdict - burger was surpreme and if you're feeling adventurous and don't mind the strong cheese smell of raclette, live a little ( which I did and loved it ). Desserts didn't disappoint from the chocolate soufflé and the ice cream . Post dinner while most headed home , I decided to enjoy another old fashioned at their beautiful bar . Next trip when it's a tad warmer , I want to try the outdoor area , beautifully decorated and perfect for a group of friends on a nice day sipping some wine and enjoying the other dishes I didn't get to try .

    Little Sparrow delivers an old-world charm that makes for a truly memorable dining experience. The dim lighting, soft background music, and lively conversation create the perfect atmosphere. Our waiter was an absolute pleasure--knowledgeable, engaging, and helped us plan a wonderful French dining journey. We started with the bread service: a warm levain baguette served with EVOO and rich, creamy butter. I followed that with the Onion Soup Gratinée--beautifully melted cheese over a semi-sweet, flavorful broth. (Tip: it's delicious enough to finish, but save room for what's next.) For my main course, I had the Dover Sole Meunière. The presentation was part of the magic--the waiter expertly deboned the fish tableside--and it paired perfectly with the tender pole beans that had a subtle, edamame-like flavor. Though I was full, I couldn't skip dessert and went for the Fancy Soft-Serve with EVOO, honey, and fennel pollen. It was light, unique, and absolutely worth it. Two hours flew by in what felt like minutes. Exceptional food, ambiance, and service--I'd highly recommend Little Sparrow to anyone looking for an elevated yet comfortable French dining experience.

    What a cool place. Discovered it incidentally while in downtown Atlanta. Upscale with a dress code…read morethankfully. The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to. Lots of niche areas with couch reservations, pool table available. No time for a cigar but that is on my list when I return. Food available from their upstairs sister restaurant.

    I stopped in for a quick drink before heading to my next destination, and my experience was not…read moreonly disappointing--it was unacceptable. I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz. I liked that the bar had a fun yet casual ambiance and there were plenty of people around. We did ask what time last call was and were told midnight so we didn't hurry to order a second drink. Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.

I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!
