Little Jumbo Restaurant

Our Little Jumbo emphasizes the fine craft of preparing fresh local food with a focus on continental and contemporary and pairing it with fine wines and the best of classic and modern mixology.  A particular emphasis is on creating exceptional customer experience, something very dear to Harry Johnson’s heart. Johnson, a pioneer of the industry travelled widely and shared his acquired wisdom, always sharing his expertise and knowledge with others. In 1882 Harry Johnson first published the Bartenders’ Manual and a Guide for Hotels and Restaurants. He is still known today for his sagacious writings on service excellence and customer care. He bought the Little Jumbo Saloon in New York from a peer and rival named Jerry Thomas who had founded it in 1866. Because of Thomas’ pioneering work in popularizing cocktails across the United States; he is considered “the father of American mixology”.
