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!

The food and service here were top notch! The presentation of drinks and food was also spot on! If I HAD to complain about anything, house wines were a tad over priced for garden city. Otherwise it was an overall great experience!

Went there for date night one Saturday. Everything was great from the time we sat down; from the service to the food & drinks, to the ambiance. It was a bit noisy just from other patrons being loud. Overall it was a great time, & I definitely will be back.

Service was excellent, but steak was overcooked then they replaced dish and it came out mooing. A tad disappointing for prices. Banana pudding was ridiculously good.
