My boyfriend and I had reason to celebrate and used it as reason to finally try Sparrow + Wolf. We were not disappointed. Everything from the cocktails and wine to dessert were exceptional.
They weren't offering the chef's tasting menu, so we created one of our own. Here are some of the highlights:
You might not want to spend $5 for bread, but it is worth it! You'll be talking about its rustic goodness and the umami butter for days.Our charcuterie plate included wonderful poached pears and beets for pairing with the various cheese.
The Uni Melt was everything yummy other reviews have claimed it to be.
The Japanese sweet potato was a revelation. I expected root vegetables in a sauce. But it's presented as a traditional American baked potato but includes tastes you've never considered as part of that homey side dish before, especially the plum crème fraiche.
The only potential disappointment was the lasagna. The round plating is ingenious and inviting. But it arrived way too hot to eat, then ultimately found it dry. In our mind it needs a more prominent béchamel sauce.
But this was completed made up for by the Wagyu beef with chanterelle mushrooms. It was one of the specials that night, but if you get lucky like we did, do yourself a favor and dive into the succulent, perfectly cooked dish.
We finished the evening with a brioche dream of a dessert. It was like an elevated French toast and I already want to go back and have it again.
