I loved that the decor was elegant and the menu was affordable. This allowed me to try more items on the menu.\n\nI started with the French Onion Soup which was amazing! The broth , the bread and the gooey cheese made the best French Onion soup I've had to date. I was also curious about grape, basil and ricotta flat bread so I definitely had to order that! It was also topped with candied walnuts, arugula (my favorite) and drizzled with balsamic. It had that sweet and savory taste to it. I folded mine and ate it like a sandwich so nothing would fall off to the side. It's a great appetizer because it's light and leaves room for your entree. Since I just had my wisdom teeth taken out I needed a very soft entree. I chose the Rice Au Gratin with chicken. It was creamy, rich and fit the bill . The portions were big enough for me to take some home for lunch the next day. \n\nThe Sparklings is a wonderful place for a date and special occasions.The dishes are great for sharing so everyone can order something different and you can experience an array of entree's and appetizers."^^ .
