Sparrow - Fort Lauderdale

I held my birthday celebration at Sparrow The Dalmar Hotel on a Saturday night. The venue was chic, grown and sexy. Beautiful ambiance and loved the rooftop view esp for photos. There was a DJ there that wasn?t so great. I had to make song request andthen he started to improve his selections. Great service and food. Cocktails were delicious. They were so kind to accommodatedus as the kitchen was closing when we arrived (late). It was a gorgeous night, therefore, seating outside was PERFECT! I suggestyou request outdoor seating in advance. There?s a small fee (esp 12.00) for valet parking but we?ll worth it as parking is notso convenient. I only wish the music was better, otherwise, we had a grand time!

This was our third attempt to come here (first time we didn?t know that they opened at 5pm and the second time we just simply forgot) lol. So I was sure that the third time would be a charm and especially that it was Billy?s birthday it had to be asuccess and it was. It constantly rain so we couldn?t sit outside on the rooftop, but we were able to still sit by a window andlook outside regardless of the weather not being so great. Fernando was our server (cool earrings and tattoos on his leftarm?ask for him), we sure will when we come back for his service was SUPERIOR from the time he greeted us with a SMILE, takingour orders, checking in on us, to surprising Billy with a Chocolate Lava Brownie for his birthday. The place was beautifullydone, nice atmosphere (music was somewhat loud considering at the time we were there from 5:15pm to about 6:30pm on Friday itwas only about 8 customers there so it was a little bit of talking loud), but I guess it?s to be expected in the restauranthopes of getting ready for the late Friday night crowd. We definitely will be back.

Our server Yari was the best. Ask for her when you go.

We have dined here before, and it was great in the past. This time the service was pretty bad. Took forever for a server to approach us and we ended up being there for 3 hours! We were also forced to sit outside at a small square table with uncomfortable chairs that didn't have space for much of our food (it was also in the middle of passing traffic). We couldn't hear each other speak either after they blasted the music around 8pm.

We had the most amazing time. The security was kind, waitress and staff what a way to celebrate my friends birthday.
