"Sparrow is a rooftop lounge and restaurant, but the atmosphere felt completely off. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, depending on your mood and table availability. When we visited, the indoor area was dimly lit with loud music blasting from the speakers. This prompted us to request an outdoor table—not by choice, but out of necessity, as we struggled to hear each other. We found ourselves leaning in and practically shouting to converse. The outdoor area wasn't much better; while the music was at a more manageable level, speakers were still present. We were seated in a corner spot, which was decent, but during my visit, there were no views to speak of that would distinguish it from any other sit-down restaurant. The outdoor seating did not meet my expectations; the chairs were quite low, and the high walls obstructed any potential views. Whether sitting or standing, it was impossible to see anything outside. The indoor seating, however, might offer a different experience, as I noticed floor-to-ceiling windows that could provide a nice view of the city. As for the food and drinks, we tried a couple of cocktails, which were fantastic. We also ordered truffle fries, and they were crispy and delicious. The service was excellent, and I have no complaints in that regard. They do offer valet parking, but since I found a spot close by, I opted for street parking instead. Overall, I would recommend visiting Sparrow with some considerations in mind."

"I have been wanting to come here for awhile and I was able to finally. I will start off with saying the service is here is amazing! I had Nick and he explained things perfectly! He went over the menu and gave excellent recommendations. As many others said here the portion sizes were astronomically small. I will say that this would be an amazing culinary experience but 100% not a place to have a fulfilling meal without paying $150 a person. We started off with the Lobster tacos and ordered 3 with each being maybe 2in in length. They cost $19 each which was crazy! I could tell the lobster was fresh but honestly the flavour was lacking. We also ordered the Gyoza and got three for $13 each and it was amazing! The three of us ordered the Maine Lobster and Palm Hearts which was $50 and was about half a cup of food, the fillet which was marinated in teriyaki on a bed of vegetables was the largest portion of the lot with a 6oz filet and LOADS of amazing veggies, finally a spicy salmon roll that was not on the menu however they specially made it for my friend which measured about .25in in diameter that cost $22. We all also ordered desert the lava cake and ice cream, sorbet and ice cream by itself. These each cost about $15 and were probably the best part of the entire night. Overall, again the experience would have been a great place to taste great food then go across the street for a full meal. The service and staff were amazing and I can't express that enough!"
