"2014-12-29T00:00:00"^^ . . "2"^^ . "The Sparklings has some fantastic items in the appetizer section. 2 to 3 appetizers plus 1 entree would be perfect for two. Pricing doesn't look bad.\n\nOn our first visit, we ordered following three items. All good, I would have rated 5 stars for that visit.\n\n- Seared Diver Scallops - served with crispy rice cakes and lemony beurre blanc $7.5 (5/5)\n- Grapes and Arugula Flat Bread - candied walnuts, ricotta & balsamic vinaigrette $9 (4/5)\n- Spicy Seafood Pasta - Spaghetti with shrimp, scallop, mussel, squid in house spicy light tomato sauce $15 (4.5/5)\n\nOn our second visit today, we ordered following five items. Hits and misses - mixed result. Not perfect, but less than $50 bill for 5 items is impressive.\n\n- Crispy Gnocchi - creamy pesto, Italian sausage, peas and crushed candied walnuts $7.5 (4/5)\n- Crab & Spinach Dip - grilled and fried pita bread $8 (3.5/5)\n- Lobster Bisque - served with wonton crisps and green onions, sour cream optional $9 (2.5/5)\n- Steak Salad - petite filet, spinach, red onion, feta cheese, apple and white vinaigrette $10 (3/5)\n- Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich - shrimp tempura, remoulade, lettuce and tomato $8.5 (3/5)"^^ .
