"Sparrow, with its suited doorman, expensive steaks, and live jazz, aims to be the Wynwood destination for a sexy night out. And while the bar is low (they’re neighbors with The Dirty Rabbit), they succeed. It has the over-the-top energy of a clubstaurant, but the jazz quartet isn't so loud and they actually know how to cook a steak here. A bill for two can go way over $200—and the food’s just fine—so keep this place in mind when you’re not paying or wearing something too tight to eat that much. Reservations open 21 days in advance and if you want a table from Thursday to Saturday, plan at least two weeks ahead. For the bad planners, the walk-in bar is a good alternative—especially since food isn’t really the point of this place. They offer the full menu there and it’s long enough to reliably grab a seat for you and your unpromising blind date." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
