    The interior rooms were under low-light conditions. On better weather, the patio would be a better choice for Instagram posts. Because one would definitely have the interest to take pictures when the plates are brought to the table.

    Here to write an updated review. We visited on a Friday evening and it was super busy. We didn't have any reservation and waited for an about 25 minutes before we were seated, and even after we were seated the service was extremely slow...clearly they were understaffed in the kitchen. The food was good as usual though and so were all the cocktails we ordered but yeah the service was so slow, and our kiddos got really hungry. I think the manager did well when we brought our concerns to him and kindly waived the kids' meals. Love the ambiance of this restaurant both indoors and on the patio. It's a cute vibe! Lots of gluten free options yay

    Went for Seattle restaurant week since this spot is usually out of my budget! Was crazy to see a once-dive bar turned into fine dining. They nailed the vibe in here. Dark and moody but still really elegant. We were greeted quickly by our server which was lovely. They were able to make me an espresso martini that was decaf! When the drink came out, I double checked that it was decaf and the woman (not our server) wasn't 100% sure so said our table could keep that one and that she would make us a new one. So kind! I got the devilled eggs to start. Really good, but definitely a sharing dish. The cod was good, but not sure I would pay full menu price for it as I did not find it to be very flavorful. The flourless chocolate cake had a rather small portion, btu was fantastic! Service and ambiance were top notch.

    Stopped in for Seattle restaurant week. They were pretty busy during this time but our service was still good. It did take a bit to get food and drinks out. We had three of us that got steaks and ordered them all cooked differently and they all came out cooked the same. For four ounces wasn't worth sending it back but we didn't see any difference between the rare, medium rare, and medium steak. The food and drinks were great otherwise. It's a bummer to be charged 3% to use a credit card. I know things are expensive these days but all over it says prefer cash next to this. At this price point, I don't think many people have that much cash on them. I'd expect this at somewhere cheaper.

    Great ambiance, solid flavorful menu options, and great service. A bit high priced for what you get but still a very solid option!

    What a beautiful night and beautiful evening. This place is in the heart of Jaunita. It used to be a fun sports bar with pools tabs, darts and fun drinks. They have since closed that restaurant and opened up Sparrow. The first time I came here I wasn't impressed. They had only been open a few weeks so it was okay, nothing to write home about. The second time I came I was very impressed. It was a nice night so we got to sit outside on the patio. We enjoyed a bottle of rose and I ordered the shrimp arugula salad which was amazing and a side of sweet potato fries. My friend got the spaghetti squash pasta which was also a fan favorite. For desert we split the bread pudding. Not enough words to describe. I will definitely come back to this place.

    My co worker had the ribeye and it was amazing. The burrata I had was a little dry, I wouldn't order it again. Our service was good and drinks were tasty. Loved the fresh oysters.

    Complimentary chocolate cake for the birthday girl. Absolutely delicious!

    I had my mom's birthday brunch here and it was fantastic. Ivan was our server and he did a wonderful job checking on us and providing a special experience for my mom and our group. I ordered the avocado toast with crab added and it was so flavorful. Well-portioned too. I also ordered a vanilla latte, which was way too sweet for my taste, but was still drinkable. The lighting is very dim, which made for a very cozy atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

    This is such a cute space! The food is really good. I want to come back and try everything on the menu. It's been too cold to be out of the patio but I can't wait to see if it gets any sun during the summer. Took off a star because the menu changes every so often so you had to check for updates.

    Food was pretty solid overall! I did have the oysters though and pretty sure I got food poisoning... the next morning I couldn't leave the toilet (and I don't drink alcohol either lol). Vibes were great, I'd just skip the oysters next time.

    French toast

    Fabulous brunch on the weekends!! Definitely start with the delicious donut holes, you will not be sorry. Easy to make a reservation online. Very large beautiful outdoor seating area as well as a smaller enclosed, lovely outdoor space out back. We've always had great service and a lovely experience at Sparrow. Super cute photo op in the enclosed area

I ordered a glass of wine off the menu, and their choices of wine by the glass were not good. We also tried a few appetizers; they were okay enough that we finished them, but there was absolutely nothing memorable or worth ordering a second time. The actual setup of the place is nice, it has a beautiful bar area and an outdoor seating space for nice weather. However, the vibe just wasn't incredibly welcoming. To make matters worse, the staff was very mediocre and not super friendly, which really dragged down the whole experience. I really wanted to have a better experience here given how perfect the location is, but based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it. With so many other welcoming spots within walking distance in Kirkland, you are better off looking elsewhere for good drinks and a friendly vibe.

Not too difficult to get a weekday reservation, but the restaurant was completely full and we definitely snagged the last parking spot in the outdoor lot, so I'm not sure where the overflow is. Bread Basket (2.75/5): A lot of the bread options were a bit stale and it's pretty expensive for nothing to stand out. Oysters (4.25/5): Probably the best bite. Super fresh and not fishy at all. Crab Cake (4/5): Good crunch and crab added some sweetness. Very solid. PB&J Foie Gras (3/5): I was most excited to try this, but I can't say I actually enjoyed it. It was interesting, but the foie gras was a little too gamey. Salmon Agnolotti (3/5): Agnolotti was good and portions were solid, but the salmon was barely seasoned / extremely under salted. Key Lime Pie (4.25/5): My favorite part of key like pie is the crust so this was right up my alley. Rides the line of tart and sweet with some extra freshness from the berry sauce / coulis. Chocolate Cake (4/5): Cake was moist and the chocolate lace added a nice crunch. Not the most luxurious / dark chocolate, but satisfying nonetheless.

As said the service was fine but the food - hearth roasted mushroom frittata and breakfast burrito - was decidedly bland and under seasoned. Frittata was covered with an excessive mound of arugula. While peppery, it's asking a lot of arugula to carry/cover for a bland unseasoned water bath baked egg concoction with minimal caramelized onions and flavorless mushrooms. Desperately needs some herbs, garlic or strong cheese, some crisp edges... something. A side of chicken apple sausage was just okay. Breakfast burrito was disappointing in its own ways. Tortilla was gelatinously clinging together as if it had been prepared in advance, then reheated, and covered in what was called salsa but was more akin to basic excessively mild tomato enchilada sauce. The carnitas pork was unseasoned and dry. Potatoes were soft and lacking a crisp element that would have helped immensely. The only place salt seemed to show up was in the salted maple latte and in that it was a bit heavy. Likely not stopping back anytime soon.
