Little Sparrow is beneath what once was JCT Kitchen. You can self park and pay by scanning the QR Code. It was like $5 for two hours. There was valet as well. When you walk in there is a very cute bar to the right and a nice atmosphere for the dining room on the left. The bathroom provides mouthwash and mints. We loved the cocktails and food we ordered to share. The French Onion Soup was one of the best I've had. So many great menu choices so will have to go back to try other dishes.

Little Sparrow is a top notch dining experience from start to finish. I have been twice now. The first time was for my wife's birthday and the second was actually by 13 year old's birthday. Both times there were personal touches on the table to celebrate the birthdays. For my daughters there was a handwritten card and handwritten notes from each of the staff members. The ambiance is high end but not over the top white table cloth. Very neat decor. Think French Bistro. Nice level is moderate to low. My favorite things so far: the bread & butter, the Genepy Highball (G&T), the tartare, the burger with reclette service on the frittes, the soufflé, and the evoo honey and fennel pollen ice cream. This is not a fast paced dinner so expect a nice paced meal. The two servers we have had are Abbey and Z. Both are fantastic. Little Sparrow puts together an amazing experience from the time you walk in until you leave. It is becoming one of my Atlanta favorites. Definitely book a table. Even on a Sunday night this place gets full, and for good reason.

Beautiful restaurant in a great area. The food is fantastic. The scallops are so fresh and the sauce is decadent. Service is 5-star. Definitely a hot spot to go with friends or on a romantic date.

I dropped in for a quick appetizer and drink on a date night out. The service was outstanding. We didn't stay long but our waiter made sure to give us amazing service. He walked us through the menu slowly and he was funny! He spoke to me in French. I want to say, the shrimp appetizer was literally some of the best shrimp I've had at a restaurant. I'm from the coast, and these were neck and neck. The flavors were outstanding. I didn't want it to end. I got their $10 martini and I swear it was the strongest martini I've ever had. I had to breathe after each sip. Haha. I want to come back for dinner to give this restaurant the last star. The vibe is moody and a little sexy. Perfect for a date.

While you won't even know that you have arrived at the restaurant because their outdoor sign has red letters on a red background, you will enjoy everything that you eat there. While I had read that the clams in wine sauce was a favorite of many patrons (and yes the wine sauce was tasty), my absolute favorite appetizer was the melted Harbison cheese with hazelnuts. OMG! I will come back to this restaurant just to have that cheese appetizer with sourdough bread again, Mark my words. The schnitzel had a nice crust on it and was delicious. The scallops were only three for $49 but were delicious in the beurre Blanc sauce. But above all, do not miss dessert! You must order the cheesecake, and I will not tell you more. It will be the best cheesecake of your life.

Looking for a romantic dinner setting with your partner or a cute girls night out? You found THE spot. Everything about the ambiance is a 10/10, think sexy 60's with Parisian subtleties. You can't go wrong with their Tequila speciality cocktail 'Encore, Encore', it's my go to. My husband was a fan of the 'OMD', the presentation are simple but elegant. We enjoyed the delicious burger & chicken schnitzel. Both were prepared perfect. Our server was Gabby, she was an expert in describing each plate in her own unique & thoughtful way. 10/10!

In the same location as JCT was, which was one of my favorites. The decor is nice and warm. Our service was excellent! We ordered the Onion Soup and Beets for starters. We both preferred the beets over the soup, too much cheese for us between both dishes plus they give you a baguette and butter, so I was getting diary'ed out! The baguette was warm, which is a plus! So glad there is a place that still serves complimentary bread and butter!! For entrees we order the Chicken Schnitzel and Halibut. These dishes are great if you are looking for a light dish that feels on the healthier side. The Chicken had a nice crisp with lovely greens. The halibut was served in a nice Le Creuset dish with mussels and lobster pieces mixed in. It did have a hint of spice to it. I am not a fan of salty food so to some it may taste bland but to us it was perfect. With that said each person will have a different opinion here. We ended with the evoo, honey, and bee pollen soft serve and basque cheesecake. We both were bigger fans of the soft serve . Don't mean the cheesecake wasn't good, just means there was a clear winner. All and all it was a nice evening out to dinner.

Delicious. Truly a wonderful dining experience in a casual, welcoming Little Sparrow. Every bite was fantastic. We started with their Frites with aioli, Steak Tartare and baguette at my son's suggestion. Perfection. I opted for their Bolognaise. It was rich in flavor and perfection. My daughter opted for the Poulet (chicken) at our servers suggestion and my son chose the Burger with frites. Shared bites of their entrees had me wanting to return to Little Sparrow sooner than later! Lastly, don't skip dessert! The ice cream dessert with a variety of topping choices was very creative and yummy! We opted for the Bananas Foster with fresh bananas, caramel drizzle and flamed rum. Next visit, I may start with dessert first!!
