Lorenzo was our server and he was excellent! Felt like NYC vibes in Garden City. I highly recommend the kale salad and the pizzas.

The calamari, part of their Fritto Misto di Mare, was impeccably crisp and tender, complemented by a zesty lemon aioli. The monkfish tail, a standout entrée, was expertly prepared, showcasing the kitchen’s commitment to quality and flavor. The crispy Brussels sprouts, enhanced with roasted peppers, honey Dijon bacon, balsamic vinaigrette, and sesame seeds, offered a delightful balance of textures and tastes . The St. Paul cocktail, featuring gin, elderflower, lime, and thyme, was both refreshing and sophisticated, reflecting the bar’s dedication to crafting memorable drinks .

This restaurant is a beautiful spot. Cocktails were great, and the service was terrific and well timed, but the food needs improvement. The fish and chicken dishes served with accompanying vegetables were ill prepped and overcooked. Prices were high, and so plates should come out propetly prepared. Appetizers and drinks or less ambitious main course preps might be the best choices here for us. Will try again, but will order differently.

The atmosphere was upbeat. My meal had to be sent back. Too salty, no flavor at all. I ordered rock shrimp. It was about 2 shrimp cut up into tiny pieces. I had to tell the manager who allowed me to choose a different meal. Server was very accommodating.
Sparrow Kitchen & CocktailsResponded on April 17, 2025
Thanks so much for your honest review, Kristin. We're glad our team was accommodating and that the atmosphere stood out to you. We're sorry to hear your first meal didn’t meet expectations, but we appreciate you giving us the chance to make it right. We hope to welcome you back for a much better experience next time!
