| - Sparkling is almost a week old and it stands to be a great restaurant.
The decor is a modern chic and very nicely done. Whether you are coming in as a couple, a group of friends or even a large party, they have diferent size tables. They also have a private dining area for up to 14.
Servers haven't had much training yet. Rather a bit of ojt. Everyone was very friendly and helpful though.
The food was also pretty good. To start, appetizers: Definitely try the meatballs. They are the bomb. The pan seared gnocci was also good, but I would have preferred it with pancetta vs sausage. On to entrees: my wife is very fond of braised ribs and these were good, but not as good as Roy's. I had the jambalaya and it was ok, but was missing cayenne and andoille sausage. It was a bit salty and and very tomatoish. Nonetheless, I cleaned my plate. Finally dessert: The cheesecake is a must and the chocolate cake is good but rather heavy.
Overall, it was a very good meal and considering they are a week old, its safe to reason that they will continue to improve.
From the owners of. Oyshi Sushi, this is a very different concept, but I do like it and I'm glad we have it in our southwest neighborhood. We will be back!!!
