The Black Sparrow endeared itself to me when I saw a gimlet on their special drinks menu. Aw! Who's…read moreeven making gimlets anymore? Let alone featuring gimlets on a special menu and presenting them as bright, shiny things? No one, except this awesome restaurant in Lafayette. Of course, I got the gimlet. I also got what some might call a "girl dinner," but what I call a "hot mom traveling alone dinner," which is fries and a Caesar salad. The fries were excellent: mostly crispy, but every so often a couple of mealy and soft fries were discovered, which was nice. The Caesar salad was good, and it came with whole croutons, which is typical. But really, The Black Sparrow? Your Caesar salad could have been elevated to excellent if the croutons were crushed into bread crumbs! Just saying! The Caesar had a lot of freshly grated parmesan cheese, which was a nice touch. A good Caesar salad needs a lotta parm, in my opinion. I just sat at the bar, so all I know is that rectangular space at the counter. Is there a restaurant beyond the bar at The Black Sparrow? I have no idea, but if you're looking to enjoy a little drink and a meal at the bar here, I think you'll have a good time.

The Caesar dressing is light and tasty though it does have a definite anchovy essence. You have to enjoy anchovies I think to appreciate. Get the homemade focaccia with butter.

If the vid loads, you can see they would likely consider themselves a "cuisine" kind of place instead of just a "restaurant". They were moderately attentive, but friendly enough. I got the birrera (sp?) tacos. They came with 2 sauces & were good. I was told one of them were hot. Well, it might be "gringo hot" but wasn't really very hot. Everything was good, but I'd say a little pricy ($17 for three street tacos). I probably won't be back, just because I'm a cheapskate & there is an Arby's right next door.
