| - I've heard great things about Sparrow + Wolf since it opened, so a couple of friends and I decided to check it out on a Wednesday night. When we arrived, it was very busy with almost every table filled up. It was also really loud in there, and I had to almost yell to talk to the person next to me. We tried a few of the cocktails, and the Spring Mountain Sour and Jump the Shark were pretty good. The Sour had beet foam in it which was unusual but worked well with the drink. We also got the Where There's Smoke, and while I usually like a little smokiness flavor, this was like drinking actual smoke. A little much.
The food was phenomenal! We got a few things to share. The grilled Spanish octopus was very tender, and the beef cheek and bone marrow dumpling was tasty as well. I love scallops and these were amazing with corn and miso butter, SO flavorful. We also loved the udon and the "big ass pork shank". The crispy skin itself was delicious. I didn't expect to like the beef skewer but the vadouvan crepe that came with it worked so well with the beef, and the whole dish exuded so much flavor. For dessert, we had the calamansi tart and honey toast. They do a different take on honey toast, but it was fantastic. I wanted another.
Overall, good food and good service. I'll come back to try more stuff!
