The food, service, and ambience were equally amazing. We had the shishito peppers, vegetable sushi roll, lobster Mac and cheese, vegetable fried rice with steak, and lava cake. Every dish kept getting better and better, I woke up thinking about the food the next morning. Everything was 10 out of 10. Highly recommend
This was our first time and definitely won't be the last. Everything was superb! The ambiance was beautiful for pictures. The staff was charming and professional. The music was an amazing mix. The food decor everything and tasty, Drinks on point, and view stunning. There is absolutely no complaints on this gem!
Little PSA here, I went to this place thinking it was a restaurant, I was completely wrong because this place isn’t a restaurant. The atmosphere was really cool (Especially the fact that there was a 25 Story high cocktail lounge with a garden type atmosphere outside. The food is a hit or miss, I got the Korean fried chicken tender, But without the sauce. I liked it, But my family did not. Our server (Michelle) was really friendly, had a fun vibe which did lighten up the mood for us. If you’re looking to have fun and talk to people Definitely come here if you can. Do not be like me and come to this place thinking it’s a restaurant, Because you will be very disappointed. At the end of the day It’s a really nice place.
We waited for an hour and 15 minutes before deciding to leave. In that time, we were given our drinks and an appetizer. After getting the appetizer roughly 30 min into being there, our server never returned so we had to flag down someone else to get us our check. We were not even able to place our order... so we got fed up and left.
Had a reservation booked for over a week and even called the night before to confirm we would have a regular sized table with chairs and not a couch or sofa seating. Showed up 5 minutes past our reservation to an empty restaurant and was told our table was just given away. So we were seated at a couch with 2 small tables pushed together. Our waitress came to take our drink order but first informed us that they were out of 4 of them. We ordered crispy rice tuna & spicy edamame and it was room temp and tasted like fish sticks:/ we finished our drinks, paid and left instead of staying for dinner. As we were leaving another party of 2 was told similiar circumstances with dining. Was really looking forward to this place being great but it was just a disappointment.
Overpriced drinks and mediocre food.
Yaniv took great care of us. He consistently checked in on us to make sure we were doing alright, whether it was our food, our drinks, or just refilling our water. The drinks, food, and service were great.
Stunning restaurant with great views of South Florida! Server came out stating the food comes out fast, that they don't hold food in the kitchen, but the appetizers took over 30 minutes to come out. Flavor profile was great however the bottoms of the apps were burnt. Asked for a napkin and took the server 20 minutes to bring out, despite it being a steady night. Food was flavorful, vibes were great. But great service definitely lacked. 6/10 overall.
Love the aesthetic overall, although high tops are needed for the views.
The good: Michael our server and perhaps a manager was awesome. He truly cared about our experience and was accommodating and attentive.
I loved the DJ on both days, different styles which was nice since we went back to back Friday and Saturday.
The okay: Drinks. We tried about 6, 3 were too sweet. 2 they didn’t have. 3 were pretty good.
The bad. The interior bar tender was off putting and pretty much took his sweet time.
Food is a no. Skip it. We left hungry and grabbed Thai next door after spending $100.
Type of place you want to be awesome but just doesn't quite live up to the hype online or the hype in your mind.
Let's be clear: service was excellent and the drinks were craft style and delicious!
Food was not small--it was tiny portions. Kid size. Calling this 'tapas-style' is disingenuous at best. Foenthe prices, it's a money grab for lackluster quality. No option to increase tacos from 3 to 4 (to accommodate the group) which is silly.
The ambiance from a distance and when u first get there is fun and exciting...until it starts to fade and by the end of the night, the ambiance feels almost juvenile or cheaply done. Just lacks a sense of sophistication IMHO.
The views are nice, but not remarkable. We kept comparing Sparrow to Nube rooftop and found ourselves wishing we had gone to Nube--especially for the cost of the night.
No hate, no disrespect. Place is a solid C+/B-.
Would I go back? Probably not.

Let’s start off with the good. The vibes, the atmosphere, the views, are all Really worth going for. I think they could put might be a little bit more effort on their cocktails, but they are all crafted well enough for the price point.
Now the food. Food is a three star at best. I strongly recommend if they do read this work on a new chef, recipes, get the kitchen staff to all be consistent and know what the recipes are to a science. this will make it or break it for people to continue to come.
This place has the best ambience and great hospitality. I made a reservation for myself and husband for my birthday. Last minute I had some friends come by and the hostess Isabelle was absolutely amazing. She was gracious , patient and understanding. As my guest started arriving she was able to accommodate my changes . So friendly and I was so appreciative.
The vibe was nice . It didn’t get as crowded as I expected but being on the rooftop was awesome.
What I do wish was that the DJ was a bit more versatile in his choice of music. But overall it was great.
Went here last night for a surprise birthday party I planned for my best friend, the hostess isabelle helped me plan the whole thing and she was so kind and made the process super easy and exciting, amazing representation of the business. We also had Emily as our waitress and she helped out a lot even when we were being super chaotic, they did everything perfectly and were super professional!
5 stars for both the service and the atmosphere! The music was amazing, the vibes were great, and the servers were super friendly.
The drinks were also solid overall, except for the Mojito and the Piña Colada both had a strange taste. Our favorite was definitely the Lychee highly recommended!
Now, the food… honestly, disappointing.
The baos were terrible the pork was undercooked, not enjoyable at all, and they were spicy even though we specifically asked and were told they weren’t.
The tacos were great though flavorful and not spicy at all! Definitely recommend those.
The tuna tartare was extremely spicy. It was labeled as spicy, so I’ll admit that one’s on us, but it was intense one of our guests nearly choked.
The sushi rolls weren’t great either. We had the Dalmar Dragon and it tasted like grocery store sushi small portion, nothing memorable, definitely not worth the price.
Bottom line: eat before you come! Then enjoy the drinks and the awesome vibe.
Total came to around $440 for 6 people.
I made a reservation but when we arriced we had to wait 30 minutes to get the table. I would just walked in if I wanted to wait that long.
