Reviews Summary

Sparrow Fort Lauderdale offers a chic ambiance and stunning city views, complemented by excellent craft cocktails and attentive service from staff like Dane and Emily. While the drinks and atmosphere are widely praised, some diners have found the food portions to be small and the quality inconsistent, with certain dishes being overly spicy or not meeting expectations. Reservations and communication can also be challenging for some, leading to a mixed experience for a few guests.

"The food was very delicious. The restaurant is located on the 25th floor and has a unique drink menu. Upon coming Daniel at the patio bar provided me with some very good suggestions that did not dissapointe. The beverages Kadama's Groove, passion no. 5, and let's get incredible were refreshing. Lastly, dinner the whole snapper was filetted and paired with jasmine rice, and broccoli rabe. The brussel sprouts had a sweet taste, and all the other items; dragon roll, edame, banna pudding and chocolate lava cake were all good. The ambiance was good and they also have a live DJ. I felt as though we were out of town instead of locals. Great job staff here at Sparrow and my family and I will return. Thank you Emily for such awesome service tonight and Daniel at the bar thank you again."

Justin Wells

"5 stars for both the service and the atmosphere! The music was amazing, the vibes were great, and the servers were super friendly.

The drinks were also solid overall, except for the Mojito and the Piña Colada both had a strange taste. Our favorite was definitely the Lychee highly recommended!

Now, the food… honestly, disappointing.
The baos were terrible the pork was undercooked, not enjoyable at all, and they were spicy even though we specifically asked and were told they weren’t.
The tacos were great though flavorful and not spicy at all! Definitely recommend those.
The tuna tartare was extremely spicy. It was labeled as spicy, so I’ll admit that one’s on us, but it was intense one of our guests nearly choked.
The sushi rolls weren’t great either. We had the Dalmar Dragon and it tasted like grocery store sushi small portion, nothing memorable, definitely not worth the price.

Bottom line: eat before you come! Then enjoy the drinks and the awesome vibe.

Total came to around $440 for 6 people."

"Type of place you want to be awesome but just doesn't quite live up to the hype online or the hype in your mind.

Let's be clear: service was excellent and the drinks were craft style and delicious!

Food was not small--it was tiny portions. Kid size. Calling this 'tapas-style' is disingenuous at best. Foenthe prices, it's a money grab for lackluster quality. No option to increase tacos from 3 to 4 (to accommodate the group) which is silly.

The ambiance from a distance and when u first get there is fun and exciting...until it starts to fade and by the end of the night, the ambiance feels almost juvenile or cheaply done. Just lacks a sense of sophistication IMHO.

The views are nice, but not remarkable. We kept comparing Sparrow to Nube rooftop and found ourselves wishing we had gone to Nube--especially for the cost of the night.

No hate, no disrespect. Place is a solid C+/B-.

Would I go back? Probably not."

Situated on the rooftop of Fort Lauderdale's dazzling Dalmar hotel, Sparrow's panoramic views of the city's skyline, beach, and everything in between are only the beginning. Its menu — spanning tropically inspired cocktails ($13 and up), handcrafted sushi rolls ($14 and up), and large mains like lobster mac 'n' cheese ($24) and a five-spice lamb chop ($37) — is just as tantalizing, equating to a memorable happy hour, totally lit brunch, or elegant dinner. There's plenty of space to work with at Sparrow, which has a main bar, lounge, and expansive patio clad with greenery, retro furniture, and natural wood elements.

Fort Lauderdale Travel Guide

Sparrow—Located inside The Dalmar in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Sparrow is more commonly known for being a lounge/bar than a restaurant, but they do have some great rotating food options!. I've only ever had their appetizers, but I've enjoyed them all, especially the fried chickpeas and the fried potato, but the Sparrow really shines in their specialty cocktails. The are you jealous is a great option if you like cucumber-lime flavors, but the celestial glow* **and** passion no.5* are other really popular drinks.
