Great atmosphere and very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Ask for explanations/descriptions of the small plates to share- the focaccia with toppings was delish as was the Caesar beef carpaccio. The wine and craft cocktails were great, including their version of a margarita with citrus, garnished with a slice of grapefruit. I recommend the rigatoni with shredded beef short rib, and Penny à la vodka. - enough to share or eat all on your own . I highly recommend sparrow and you can tell the quality and detail of the atmosphere will be enjoyed by many.

I can't possibly overstate how wonderful tonight's experience at Sparrow Wine Bar was. It was our first visit and we were so impressed, first of all with our server, Ben. His deep knowledge of wine, spirits, the menu and upcoming plans for this restaurant speak to his commitment to outstanding service, which shone through every aspect of our dinner tonight. I loved the tomato gimlet which picks up the citrus undertone of tomato without being overwhelmed by it. Delicious and unique, to say the least. My husband's Tempranillo was well-balanced with highly aromatic tastes of fruity smoke with a long pleasant oaky finish. The mushroom pate' is a must with wonderfully toasty bread and slices of mushroom and just enough sweetness to make it even better. The Say Cheese combination including a flavorful house made marmalade with more of the delicious bread was yet another treat. Wanting to try as much as possible, we also ordered the Jambon & Beurre which included ham, whipped brie, salted butter, a variety of beautiful raw vegetables and even more of the crusty bread. My husband's filet was perfectly prepared and as tender as it could possibly be. We couldn't miss out on dessert, so we ordered the Sparrow Chocolate Cake which was as light and airy as it was deep and chocolaty. Absolutely delicious. I ordered the Basque Cheesecake with Valencia Orange, which tempted me to the point of eating every single bite. If you read my other reviews, you will see I have high expectations of the restaurants we frequent and this one was absolutely perfect. We will be regulars at Sparrow Wine Bar for sure and hope to be served by Ben every time. We also appreciated the visit from Service Manage Connor. 100% positive for this one. Don't miss it!

Excellent service, especially given the fact they've not been open long as everyone was on top of everything! Cocktail options, wine list, food, desserts....delicious. Loved the atmosphere and playlist.

Everything was excellent at Sparrow from start to finish! They just opened but didn’t seem to have those new restaurant hiccups. Cocktails were delicious and they had a good selection of wines by the glass and bottle at a range of price points. Mushroom pate appetizer was delicious, as was the Lumache Alla Vodka which had a strong kick to it and the Filet Mignon Au Poivre and fries. Basque Cheesecake was a tasty end to the meal. The disco ball that turned on around 8:30 was a fun touch. Thank you to Presley for the great service experience!

We really enjoyed our first visit to Sparrow. They created a custom cocktail for my son that was really delicious. The food was unique and very tasty. The server was very knowledgeable and did a great job taking care of us. Only one minor piece of feedback was that our seats felt a little too close for comfort with the next table and the pillows were beautiful, but too many. All things considered, that was the only thing that came to mind

From beginning to end, our experience at Sparrow was spectacular. Presley, our wonderful server guided us through the menu and his recommendations were spot on. Every dish we had was stellar. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite dish but the Sole Meuniere and Caesar Carpaccio are two dishes I will always order as long as they’re on the menu. The drinks we had were delightful and presented so elegantly. Throughout the night I kept looking around in awe of the ambiance of sparrow. It’s apparent that so much intention was put into the decor and design. The space is cozy, elegant, warm and inviting. I am so happy a place like Sparrow has opened in Orlando. Bravo, Sparrow!

We had an amazing experience at this wine bar. The food was absolutely outstanding — the filet was to die for! Every bite was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our server, Presley, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel right at home. They gave great recommendations for both food and drinks, and everything we tried was spot on. We’ll definitely be coming back!
