Restaurant Review

So in celebration of KSM's b-day (she turned 34 today!) and our anniversary on Thursday (3 years!!) her mom came to town and took us out to dinner. We went to Sparrow restaurant. We had seen this place before and decided to try it out.

We were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was very cool. Lots of color and kind of funky but not over the top. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was delicious! The menu had a great variety of unique flavors but not too crazy.

For a drink I chose the Jolly Kingfisher Martini. A martini with Jolly Rancher infused Ketel One vodka (blue raspberry) and Chambord. I could also sense some freshly squeezed lemon or lime. They serve it in a martini glass and the presentation is excellent. The color is light blue with the light purple color of the Chambord at the bottom 3rd of the glass.

I started with the soup du jour, which was a chili with the meat from beef short ribs. It was tasty and had the consistency of soup, but still very good. For the entree I had the rabbit in a yellow curry sauce with Caribbean rice. It was perfect! The rice had some mango & green beans which made it sweet & crunchy. The rabbit was served on the bone and was moist. And for dessert we shared the Molten Chocolate Bombe. It is a chocolate cake with gooey chocolate sauce on the inside served hot. It was also accompanied with home-made mint chocolate chip ice cream and a very light coffee cream sauce. Very delicious!!

We all enjoyed the meal & experience and I would rate it a must go. Reasonably priced ($15 - $25 entrees) and cool design. A little on the noisy side after 8pm with more people.
