Great food and love the vibe here! Tried it out for an anniversary dinner — it’s tapas-style, and we ordered Iberico and the pan con tomate, which was like a flatbread. All tasted great! They had a full cocktail menu as well, and I had the Sazerac and the “You’re A Star Milk Punch” (no milk) — they also tasted fantastic. The ambiance is also worth highlighting — very low-key and refined. As can be expected, there was also a very extensive wine list!

Ambiance? 5 stars. Food? 5 stars. Service? Definitely 5 stars. Everything was just excellent.

We arrived on a Friday night around 6:45 pm, and the only tables available were outside. I was a bit surprised that they were fully booked inside, given the time. The hostess apologized and said that if we wanted to sit inside without waiting, we could go to Reyes, their sister restaurant. Nice of her, but no: if I came to Sparrow, I want Sparrow.

We ended up sitting at a high-top table outside which, despite being small, wasn’t an issue since the tapas-style dishes and serving plates were also small. Our server, Jackie, was extremely friendly and quick; she explained the menu and brought us water right away. I asked to try two red wines and, even though my friend hadn’t shown any interest in drinking, she immediately asked “can bring the two samples for you to try as well?”. Quite generous. We both ended up ordering a glass of Malbec each, which paired quite well with the food.

For starters, we ordered the Pulpo and a side of bread with olive oil. I assumed the Pulpo would come grilled, but I clearly overlooked the fact that one would hardly get grilled octopus at a restaurant of this caliber for $18. I was a bit disappointed to see preserved octopus served from a tin (which, according to our server, was “just for show”) and not in a very generous portion. The flavor, however, was excellent.
As to the bread, it was toasted just right, and the olive oil (definitely Spanish) paired beautifully with everything.

After that, we shared the Arroz Negro, which was without a doubt the best dish of the night. An explosion of flavor. Again, the amount of seafood wasn’t exactly generous, but the taste and texture were simply di-vine. I squeezed some lime over the shrimp and boom. Perfection.

Not fully satisfied, we ordered the Basque Cheesecake which, while tasty, was more of a reinterpretation of the true tarta de queso vasca. I was expecting a dark, caramelized, burnt top forming a thin crust, but I didn’t quite get that crust. Yet, it was delicious. I might come back just for the cheesecake and a cup of espresso if they’re open in the afternoon.

The cherry on top of the cheesecake (tu dum tsss) was the birthday postcard the server brought, signed by several staff members. I truly felt appreciated. Big kudos to Chef Jennie (who always kills it) and Jackie for such a memorable dining experience. Bravo!

Our server was amazing! Decor was really nice and has a cozy vibe. My favorite plate was the Caesar carpaccio.

Edit: I went back and tried the Salmon & Tuna Crudo and the fish was low quality and not fresh. Other than that, other things were good.

While the vibes and drinks are great, The food was unfortunately disappointing. Other than the mushroom pate, everything else we had wasn’t that impressive. Also, it’s overpriced for what you’re getting. Service was friendly, but it was a bit slow. I’d only want to come back to try the afternoon tea.

I’d been wanting to try Sparrow for a while, and I’m glad we finally made it out for a girls night!

We made a reservation ahead of time since we heard the space was small and more on the intimate side.

The interior is super cute and VERY aesthetic!

We ordered a few dishes to share, and my favorite was the mushroom pâté. I’d read good things about it, and it really did live up to the hype. Not what I expected, but in a good way!

Our server was friendly and gave us some recommendations. My cocktail was a bit too strong for my taste, so I’d probably try something different next time.

My sister did order the martini which we thought came with a pintxo as stated in the menu…but I guess they consider the garnish a pintxo (we were a little sad about that, I guess we’re used to it being more like a tapa on a stick/skewer).

And another thing that was a letdown—we saw on the website that there was a late night happy hour starting at 9pm, which is why we booked a later reservation. But when we got there, the menu said “coming soon,” and our server confirmed it wouldn’t be happening for a few more months. That was a little disappointing since it was one of the main reasons we chose that reservation time.

Still, it’s a cute spot and worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Service was great and all staff was attentive. Super cute date spot and it’s a smaller space so it feels more intimate. The food was delicious. Our favorite dish was the Filet and runner up was the Fries with caviar aioli.

Every moment of the dinner experience here is so well thought out! The restaurant is gorgeous and such a comfortable atmosphere. The tapas are incredible and that tomato gimlet is *chefs kiss*. Will be a regular here for sure. Shout to Lesley for the wonderful service and recommendations!

Visited with friends this past weekend and had a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a night out. The food was absolutely incredible, and we shared everything, which gave us the chance to try a variety of dishes. Standouts were definitely the Mushroom Pate and the Filet. The only minor downside was the seating at our table (right when you walk in, to the left). The chairs felt a bit low and cramped, making it a little tricky to get comfortable at first, especially with limited legroom. Thankfully, it seemed like this setup wasn’t at every table, and we were still able to enjoy ourselves. Overall, a memorable evening with great food, great company, and a lively ambiance. Would definitely return!

Writing this after leaving our second visit in a week and couldnt be more delighted. The food, the drinks, the staff, & the vibe are all excellent. We are obsessed with ordering the caesar carpaccio with their fries. Rigatoni verde and filet are also ridiculously delicious. We had Valentina helping us with our night both visits and each time it was an absolute pleasure. We look forward to many more date nights here. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

If you’re looking for vibes this is the spot. Excellent ambiance — nothing like it in Orlando. Giving Miami Beach or New York lounge that feels both intimate and warm and retro. Really nice wine selection but the cocktails are where it’s at. Tomato Gimlet is one of the best drinks I’ve had. For the food get the mushroom pate, Caesar carpaccio, and sole for SURE. Really solid date night or girls night spot — been three times since they opened and will be back many more.
