Little Bear

We found Little Bear to be pretty underwhelming. The service was slow, and our waitress did not take the time to explain anything on the pretty complex menu. The food itself had very intense flavors and the portions were small. The best part was the blonde for dessert, but that came out cold and on top of a hockey player’s card (maybe I just didn’t understand the vibe…) It is a really cool atmosphere though and a great playlist.

Fun atmosphere and some really unique dishes.

did not enjoy myself, the food was super sour, and the beef tartare was so spicy. I couldn’t eat it and when I told them they got upset with me and they charged me for it still even though I took only a bite do not recommend.

Fun team - was served a birthday trout 😂

My daughter wanted to try this Michelin-recognized restaurant, so we had to take a 5 pm seating, which was several hours earlier than we normally eat. My wife and daughter loved it; me not as much. The set menu for the evening was Ethiopean-inspired . We ordered a set to share, as well as a couple of dishes off the menu. The menu had a few dishes that were not so appetizing like raw beef and chicken livers. We managed to cobble together a dinner. Everything was tasty. I think the menu could be more accurate, for example the last Ethiopean dish was beef, but the menu did not mention beef, which was better than it sounded on the menu. As we have all been to Ethiopia, we agreed they captured the flavors of the cuisine in the set menu. The service was good, and the wine list was also well-paired with the food. I would recommend only going in your normal dinner hour when you can enjoy the meal and if you are open to an uncommon menu.

The food was not great for the price. The chicken tasted processed and the beef had too much fat for the price. I was excited based on the other reviews, but as a food lover, I wasn't impressed with the quality. We left some uneaten. I don't mind spending money on a good meal, but this wasn't good to us.

I’ve never dined anywhere in this area before. But due to my daughters hair appt being pushed back to kill time I figured we try some ice cream (from big softie) and she can have fries & id grab a drink… pretty normal right? Upon walking in no one was at the front desk and I’m viewing a menu to see if they offer something my daughter would like. AND NO ONE SAID A SINGLE THING TO US. And yes we’re black. and yes, he was white. Mind you, another couple that looked very similar to him walked in a few minutes after us and eventually the HOST acknowledged them VERY warmly “WHATSUP GUYS” but avoided even making eye contact with us. I was shocked like “oh you work here?” because I had a question as I was waiting for the host which I didn’t know was infront of me… avoiding ME. He answered my question very rudely! I actually have never left somewhere very disgusted enough to leave a negative review. As a person who frequently dines out from places like Luella to a local bar. DO BETTER! that’s was gross.

We ordered the whole menu. Zero regrets. We’ll be back :)

Really good

We recently dined here and left feeling somewhat disappointed, especially given the restaurant’s strong reputation. I ordered an Old Fashioned ($17) and expected it to be prepared with a bit more care. It appeared to be built directly in the glass rather than stirred and chilled beforehand, which meant it wasn’t properly diluted or cold. I also expected a clear ice cube, which has become standard at many cocktail bars in Atlanta. For a restaurant known for its cocktail program, I was surprised that these basics were overlooked. The food was flavorful, but the portions were quite small. I ordered the satay, which turned out to be more like a sausage than anything I would typically associate with satay. It was served with a soft-boiled egg, which felt unusual and didn’t really make sense to me. Across all of the dishes, there were no accompanying carbs, which made the meal feel a bit incomplete. The tartare was the highlight of the evening - excellent in both flavor and execution. That said, I would have appreciated crackers or a few slices of sourdough to go with it. Overall, there were some strong elements, but the experience didn’t quite live up to the expectations set by the restaurant’s reputation and price point.
