Sad we didn’t like it. Tried pretty much everything didn’t like anything. Not a lot of flavors / not the right flavors. Plates could honestly be smaller. Nothing to recommend. Atlanta has so many other better places to go to. Spent ~$75 each

What flavors this place has! The cauliflower dish was amazing. The spiciness levels were on point. Small space makes it feel more connected. The cook sat and talked with us for a while and was super nice. It is a little pricy, but well worth it.
Dietary restrictions: They asked ahead of time about allergies or dietary restrictions.

One of the best restaurants in Atlanta I've been to in 28 years. So grateful for Michelin adding them to the list, otherwise, I would have never had the pleasure of dining there. Group of four of us went, so we literally ordered one of each item on the menu. Worth it! Each item was better than the next. Faves: chicken liver (who knew?) and the custard dessert

A warm surprise in every bite. I'll clarify, we ordered "EVERYTHING", yes, the entire menu. Our party of 4 took down all of the menu and have one complaint: we didn't wear stretchy pants. The cauliflower was amazing, pork but was overwhelming flavored, even the pumpkin vegan soup was super tasty. It seems unlikely in a strange location but this was the most amazing experience in a long, long time. MICHELIN MENTIONED, well deserved.
The food here was amazing different and fun. I like dining to be an experience and this place delivered. Eclectic dishes, even after reading the description didn’t really know what I would be getting 😆 but that was part of the fun especially since I wasn’t disappointed. Literally the best cauliflower dish I have ever had. The cocktail was ok plus I saw someone else with it in a different glass and it just didn’t look the same but other than that not one complaint. I judge a place based on whether or not they “deliver on the promise”. If you read their website they deliver the exact experience they promise. Plus the food is amazing. The dishes were thoughtful and intentional. Could definitely tell that a chef conceptualized each and every dish.
Parking: Small lot behind the restaurant but it’s plenty because the seating is limited inside.

I visited Little Bear on a Saturday night without a reservation. I was promptly seated when I entered the restaurant. There was seating at the bar. I chose to get the option where the kitchen picks for menu items for myself and everything was very delicious. I started off with the pumpkin sweet-and-sour soup. It was very delicious. All of their produce is the locally sourced from Georgiaso everything tasted very fresh. The drinks were incredible. I started off with the equinox martini and then try the sorrel sling. I definitely will be back.

This place exceeded expectations. The menu was so unique but perfectly done, the cocktails were super fun, and the staff unpretentious and friendly. I'm so happy to have found it and will definitely be back!
Dietary restrictions: It is worth calling ahead -- you can't really change the items, and the menu is small, so make sure there are options for you before going!
Unique and delicious dishes, most ingredients worked perfectly together (although some felt a bit too 'experimental'). A quirky wine/drinks selection complemented the menu. Overall a great experience.

Little Bear was probably my favorite restaurant I've ever been to, and I go out to eat a lot :) I loved the concept of the small plates. Each dish was unique and had so much flavor. I appreciate their use of fresh produce in each dish. The atmosphere, drinks, and service were also very good. The price was also extremely reasonable for the caliber of the food that we were eating. I would go back here every week if I lived in Atlanta!

If I could rate them 6 stars, I would!
The cocktails and food were unique, and (expletive) DELICIOUS. Additionally, the staff were remarkably knowledgeable about the restaurant's offerings and delivered an experience that could make anyone feel like they're already a regular here, even if it were their first visit.
Excellent. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed this restaurant. Food was very good. We were four so had the chance to try almost everything in the menu our favorites were the cold soup, pork shoulder, eggplant and apple and golden curry chicken. The custard for dessert was also a treat. The place is a little noisy but we like that it is not small and cozy. What impressed us the most was the excellent service. Always present and completely not intrusive. Our glasses of water were never empty, service was perfectly paced, and most importantly no one was constantly asking if everything was okay. Just perfect.
Vegetarian options: Several veggie plates available.

Was very excited to try Little Bear since we live in the neighborhood, but we left with mixed feelings.
The cantaloupe soup was cold and very vinegary. Our waitress didn't really explain the menu to us and didn't give us any sort of recommendations or anything. When I got the "soup," it was given to me in a chipped bowl which feels so cheap.
The salad, however, was delicious, one of the best salads I've had!! Our entrees were also really good, but we were disappointed with the portion sizes.
The dessert was shockingly small, not enough for one person to be satisfied, let alone for two people to share.
Maybe I'm not fancy enough to enjoy this place. Glad I tried it, but probably won't be back for a long time.
