We went there on Valentine’s Day. Very pretty, staff were nice even for a busy time. There was a pricey price fixed menu. Overall food was very good. Tasty orancini and short rib crostini. We asked for bone marrow from the main menu, it was 24 dollars and nothing special. I had the brick chicken and it was very nice, flavorful and moist. Hubby had the surf and turf. Both lobster and medium rare steak were cooked nicely but needed more floor. Dessert was gelato and banana pudding both nothing special. We also had a glass of Prosecco and chocolate covered strawberries as part of the price fixed. The spicy margarita cocktail was enjoyable

Everything was outstanding. Top quality food and excellent service. It’s a beautiful place. Loved the music they were playing and it wasn’t too loud. Everything was perfect right down to the chocolate covered strawberries. Love going to Sparrows. Highly recommend it.

We celebrated 2 of our friends' 50th birthdays at Sparrow last night and had a wonderful experience! Everything was excellent, from the food to the ambiance, especially our server Brittany. She was attentive and helpful, and made great suggestions for food and drinks. We were a large group and there were no mistakes. We were able to sit and enjoy the meal without being rushed. I cannot recommend them enough.

We had an 8 PM reservation, and unfortunately, our table was not ready for quite some time. The manager really took care of us when we finally did get to sit; brought over a bunch of complimentary apps to the table and apologized for the wait. Our waitress, Jackie, was wonderful as well. Great service. Great food. Absolutely beautiful inside. We will definitely be back!

The pasta and ceviche was too salty, and the steak had no seasoning but the chimichurry sauce was also very salty. Overall the ambience and the service was excellent, but the food could have been better for the price.

Every so often a restaurant opens and wows all of your senses. Sparrow checks all the boxes. The decor is stunning and carefully curated to make you feel like you are dining in the Mediterranean while simultaneously warm and inviting enough to make you feel like you are at a friend’s. Each course is better than the last. We had a hard time picking our favorite dish although the unexpected star of the show was hands down the banana pudding. The ricotta gnocchi was a close second and the popovers were gone the minute they hit the table. The service is spectacular. We have already made plans to return. Run do not walk to Sparrow.

Had a wonderful time catching up with my friend here! The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and wasn’t too crowded or loud. The food was absolutely delicious! My friend and I split the hot honey pizzette as an appetizer, and the flavor was good and the base crispy. We also split the chicken Milanese and pappardelle bolognese for dinner. The fresh pasta was so good! Lastly my favorite bite might have been the banana pudding. Such a sinful desert!! I look forward to returning to the more of the menu!
