We've been on a binge lately trying new restaurants and stopped in at Sparrow recently. We were there for kind of an early dinner so the lunch menu was just ending... We were lucky enough to be able to choose some of the specials at lunch and add them to our dinner. We found that very accommodating of the team. We had a lobster bisque that was flavorful...the onion rings, and the mushroom potstickers also delicious. I had the pork chop for dinner. Our bartender/server since we sat at the bar was Jon who was beyond attentive and since we were in the mood to be experimental Jon whipped up some creative, fun cocktails after interviewing our preferences in flavors and liquors.... It was a treat and of course we'll be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed the flavors of our dishes that used ingredients not common in other area restaurants. We shared KFC Boa buns, onion rings, cod tacos and falafel. The prices are perhaps a little high, but it would not deter us from going back. The quality of the food made it worth every penny. YUM!

I came here on a weeknight relatively late and was welcomed and seated right away. My server was lovely and inside was nice, too; they also have an outdoor patio area. The menu was posted outside & I came in here just because I saw Mushroom Bulgogi on the menu. I got this with an egg and it was absolutely fabulous! I took half to go and it was still great the next day. It was $30, which was a little steep since it was close in price to the other entrees with meat, but I knew that before I ordered and I'm just really glad it was good! I think all the mushrooms were sourced locally. They were marinated really well and everything in the dish went so well together; I'm a fan. Would love to come back and try some of their appetizers. They were out of their stout, which is probably a good thing, because I would have had it.

Such a fun little place with nice outdoor seating. Chill atmosphere with amazing service, food and drinks. Everyone was very attentive and helped us select some dishes since this was our first time. Every option on the menu sounded delicious so it was difficult to choose. For apps we had the crunchy shrimp and tomato ricotta toast, and for dinner the lomo saltado and mushroom bulgogi bowl.

Stopped by for a late dinner on Friday evening. Restaurant was pretty quiet but nicely decorated. Lots of creative cocktails, including a nice mocktail list. Everything on the menu is eclectic and not something you'd find on your average menu. The bao buns were delicious. We also had the banh mi sandwich and duck fried rice. Everything was bursting with flavor and had great spice. Service was friendly and everything came out quickly. Food is a bit pricey, but a fun stop for a unique dinner.

Visited this restaurant for the first time the other night! First thing I noticed was how clean, tidy, and pretty the decor was. I love the exposed brick and the simplicity. Right away we were greeted with friendly smiles and warm welcomes. I unfortunately didn't get pictures of all the food as we were starving. But I was able to get a few! We ordered the spicy margaritas, chicken biscuits, bao buns, cucumber salad, cheeseburger, cauliflower, fried chicken, onion rings, and steak skewers. I actually did not preview the menu before coming so I was very surprised with all of the unique options. The cuisine has a lot of Korean flavors. There are many small plates to pick from and a few main courses. My table shared all of the orders so we all got to taste a bite of everything! My favorite was the Bao bun, onion rings, and fried chicken. I want to thank our awesome server Hannah. She was so sweet and helpful. We had a few questions about the menu and she was patient and shared some of her favorite recommendations on the menu to help us order. Thank you Hannah for taking care of us!
