What a shame... I wanted to love The Sparklings primarily because the decor is beautiful and it's a stylish restaurant in the Southwest. That being said, the food was atrocious. This was like one of those Hell's Kitchen episodes where Gordon Ramsay attempts to tell the owner how horrible his food is, and the owner is consistently in denial. We found the jambalaya particularly awful- soggy, bland, and without inspiration. The menu was unfocused and we will, unfortunately, not return.
