About the restaurant

Our design concept is 'Water". Water brings relaxation to our minds, restoration to our bodies, and enjoyment in our lives. The wave like curve of our roofline draws you into our welcoming lobby with a beautiful blown-glass chandelier and spectacular handcrafted canoe. See our 4,000 gallon salt-water aquarium, featuring live mangrove trees and a variety of aquatic life. Enter our main dining area through a two-story houseboat, salvaged from our original location. Restore yourself under the canopy of our tree forest beginning with a raw-edge slab wood bar through to our main dining and large party room, boasting amazing views of Lake Allatoona and spectacular sunsets.

We decided to try somewhere new to us to celebrate our anniversary and we are so glad we chose AG SteakHouse! We went for lunch and it was amazing! The staff was great, the food was excellent and the views of the lake were so pretty! Best meal we’ve had in a long time. I can only imagine how delicious the dinner is. Can’t wait to go back to this hidden gem.

We had reservations but were a few minutes late. We ended up having to wait an additional 30 minutes, but that was to be expected on Mother's Day. The waitstaff was awesome. The DJ and music was nice but a little too loud. The food was awesome!

The chef and wait staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious! I highly recommend the harissa shrimp and grits, chicken katsu, and either of the fish selections.

About the restaurant

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.

Love this spot but they seem short staffed. The poor waitress was doing sixteen different things and the hostess was leaning on her podium scrolling her phone. Seems like the hostess could at least help out with checks and pick up orders and water refills etc. Other than the service which was fast for food orders and food service but slow for checkout it is always a favorite spot for a yummy lunch.
