I have had Sparrow & Wolf bookmarked to try for quite some time. I called a couple of different times trying to get same day reservations, but with no luck. (I am terrible at planning out my food more than a day in advance. Who knows what they want to eat tomorrow? Not me!)
Anyway this time I called and they said they could seat us at 5:15 or 9:30.... ugh, I was desperate to try them so I took the 5:15.
We arrived on time, and were seated immediately as more than half the restaurant was empty. They did just open at 5:00 though.
I had done my research, read reviews on Yelp, and knew going in there were some must have dishes. I was a bit disappointed though that some of the items I wanted were not available, their menu is seasonal, which is understandable, but still disappointing. No Argentinian Red Shrimp, or Butcher Wings in the fall I guess.
We started with the Beef Cheek & Bone Marrow Dumplings and the Homemade Bread and Butter. Both were delicious and I highly recommend the combination as the bread is fabulous at soaking up all the delicious broth from the dumplings.
Our entrees were the Campfire Duck and the Udon with Lamb Bolognese to which I added an egg.
Both were delicious! I have absolutely no complaints over the quality of the food what so ever.
I did feel like it took an extra long amount of time for the food to come out, both the appetizers and then the entrees. But it was definitely worth the wait.
I was a little irritated at the fact that even as we were leaving the restaurant almost half the tables were still empty. Either they had a whole lot of no shows that night or they could have gave us a better dinner reservation time.
I do recommend this place as a great "date night" restaurant. Just make sure and call a couple of days ahead to make your reservation.
