One of our favorite restaurants now. We have gone here twice and both times have been excellent. We got a gift card to this restaurant for Christmas and used it to celebrate our anniversary. The food has been amazing each time with a decent price point. The service has been great every time with the wait staff and bussers being very attentive. I really love the ambiance. The restaurant feels very upscale without the insane prices of some other places. We will definitely be coming back. It's one of our top choices whenever we go out to eat. We ordered the miso cod, steak and a side of carrots. Last time we got the ribs which were also amazing. We also ordered the Maine lobster as our starter from the raw bar. I do wish that it was cracked a bit more for us as it was difficult to remove and we weren't given one of the tiny forks for pulling out the meat but the presentation was great and it was tasty. read more

We were super excited to finally get a cute and upscale dining spot so close to home.... But the only thing worth noting is that the decor was beautiful. Sounds like based off other reviews, we got lucky and had really good service. We were greeted at the door and our waiter was super attentive. Unfortunately, the food was lacking. We had oysters and wings for appetizer, they were good but nothing special- you can get a crispier and more flavorful wing at wing stop. Our food took a little while to come out, we weren't in a hurry so if it had been delicious we probably wouldn't have minded- but it was lacking. My husband had a steak that came out super charred and had zero flavor. My salad was just meh- We spent $175 and left hungry :( read more

My son and I had Fish and Chips and again the French Dip! Everything was outstanding again and the service is so friendly and great. Great dining experience in the Upper West Side!!! read more

A fantastic addition to the Northwest Valley! The food selection is excellent, the craft cocktails are outstanding, and their new brunch menu is a great addition. The service is consistently exceptional--from the servers to the management team, everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. In my opinion, it's the best restaurant in the area. read more

Another amazing experience at one of our favorite westside restaurants. The Sparrow has a variety of food options with an island flare and something for everyone. We had our favorite server Addisyn who always goes above and beyond to make our experience the best it can be. Always smiling and just a delight to speak with! We took my parents for my mom's 70th birthday and they offer complimentary champagne and a free dessert! Always a great vibe and the atmosphere is so pleasant. read more

My husband and I go once a week for date night and to say they are consistently fantastic is an understatement. I'm a picky scratch home cook & everything at Sparrow is made in house with high quality ingredients so that makes me happy. (Example:Local bread from Noble)Cocktails are INCREDIBLE. It's very chic inside. All employees are trained to have impeccable service skills. It's a great addition to our neighborhood. Only complaint I've heard others say is it's not the most affordable option and menu is limited. read more

Yelp apparently deems all 5 star reviews of Sparrow as unnecessary and leaves all of the bad and one star reviews. (You can find my original review under the filter.) As an avid supporter of small local concepts, I know how absolutely devastating this can be. DO BETTER YELP!!!!! Seriously, you leave the review of someone who didn't even eat at the restaurant and made the reservation for the wrong night over those who legitimately have experienced the restaurant? Go look at the filtered reviews and you will see numerous HAPPY patrons. I went for a THIRD time with my sisters for an incredible girls night. (and have the receipt to prove it). And, just like our other two experiences, everything was delightful and spot on. My daughter and I split the 10oz filet and french fries - AKA the perfect girls dinner. The steak was one of the juiciest and rivals Steak 44. I tried two new drinks and they were both incredible. The one with gin and the old fashioned. Absolutely 1000% will be back again. PLEASE DONT HIDE MY REVIEW YELP. I AM AN ACTUAL HUMAN. LOOK AT MY YEARS OF REVIEWS. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED? read more

We've been to Sparrow Trailhead several times now, and it has quickly become one of our absolute favorite spots. While we've enjoyed sitting at a table, the bar is our go-to, the bartenders are incredible and make the whole experience feel elevated. My favorite cocktail is the Feathered Flame, it's the perfect balance of sweet and smoky with mezcal, and the little tajín-coated candy garnish is such a unique touch. My boyfriend always orders the dirty martini, and they nail it every time. Food-wise, I can confidently say the Weekend at Bernie salad is the best salad I've ever had, the smoked salmon is unreal. We've tried a variety of dishes at this point and everything has been consistently excellent, the Sparrow Smashburger, hamachi crudo, French dip, and the short rib ragu are all standouts. The oysters, whether East Coast or West Coast, are always fresh and delicious, and the grilled oysters are truly to die for. The ambiance is gorgeous, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the service is consistently impeccable. The music is the perfect volume, not too loud but still gives the space a great vibe. It's exactly what Peoria needed, it feels like Paradise Valley but tucked away in Peoria. an't wait to come back again. This place just does everything right. read more

We make it a tradition every weekend for my wife, my mother-in-law, and me to find a special place where we can enjoy good food and create lasting memories. This time, we were looking for something extra special, especially with my wife's birthday in mind. We found a cozy restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and, most importantly, delicious food. Everything we ordered was very tasty, and the coffee was excellent. Unfortunately, the service took away from what could have been a truly special experience. We waited over 30 minutes for our meals, more than 15 minutes for refills on our coffee and water, and another 15-20 minutes for dessert. At the end of our meal, we waited an extended amount of time for our bill and for someone to come take our payment. Eventually, I had to walk to the front of the restaurant myself to find someone so we could pay and leave. The food and atmosphere were definitely worth mentioning, but the service needs significant improvement. When someone chooses a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, attentive and timely service is just as important as the food. I hope the management takes this feedback constructively, because with better service, this could be a truly outstanding place to celebrate special moments. read more

We went to Sparrow for the first time a few weeks ago and we were all extremely impressed! I met with the Mgr Justin ahead of time to arrange for a brunch reservation for my mother-in-laws 87th Bday. Justin was so helpful and accommodating in getting us the perfect table for our Party of 7. Every one of us were very happy with our meal selections! I did not not hear one complaint which is rare. Justin and his waiters Lee & Luke went over and above to made sure we were all very well taken care of especially the bday Girl! It was a wonderful experience...beautiful ambiance, delicious food and exceptional service...we all want to go back very soon! Thank you so much Justin, Lee and Luke for everything! read more

My boyfriend and I were there last week for drinks and one salad and our bill was $147.00. Belvedere martinis are $27 each. Not even the higher end places in Scottsdale charge $27 for a Belvedere martini. And you get a shaker with your martini in Scottsdale for less than $27. All in all we were charged the cost of a bottle of Belvedere for each martini. I called and spoke to a female manager and she said she would have the GM and bar manager call me back and they never reached out. As to why I'm writing this review. This is a place you will go to once and never return. This is absurd in so many ways. The prices are so outrageous for what you get. read more

The Best. We've been there so many times I lost count. The food has been great Every time and the service is top notch. Love the ambiance also. read more

So nice to have an upscale restaurant on the west side of town! This will definitely be one of our "go to" restaurants for dinner and happy hour read more

Sparrow - Roasted carrots and lamb chops - American Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

First impression, beautiful dining room and friendly hostesses. New dining experience and must say, they have potential to be hot hot hot!!! Husband made a Saturday 11am reservation for two, indoor dining. Ordered cocktails off the menu, wines are mostly by the bottle if you're interested. Started off with East coast oysters, fresh and delicious with 3 sauces. Kitchen made an error and only sent 1/2 dozen instead of full. Crab cakes was great, the sauce didn't work for this dish, it was bland and lacked the acidity, creamy texture that would elevated the flavor of the crab cakes. Crunchy Tuna Nigiri, was not as crunchy when it sits on top of sauce. I've had many crunchy rice tuna dish and the sauce have always been creamy or in a separate dish to maintain the crispiness of the rice. They gave us a special dessert with our brunch. Server is great and friendly. I'd come back for the land menu next time. read more

Food was not very good and I thought very expensive. There are other restaurants in the area that I prefer.

Over hyped, low end quality food. Music is beyond too loud like everyone mentions. Management doesn't care if customers aren't satisfied with their meals. Hard pass! read more

This was our first time to Sparrow. Natalie was our server and did an excellent job. We tried several items off the happy hour menu and everything was good. Several standouts were the Moroccan meatballs, Thai skewers and smoked chicken wings. If you like bourbon, you have to try the ember old fashioned (smoked). It was a Friday night, so a little loud. read more

I really wanted to love this newish restaurant. I liked it just fine. The restaurant has a young, hip vibe which is a refreshing in north Phoenix, the land of pub and diner food. Service was a clunky. Or sever was good but she was not supported well by her expeditors, delivering food to the table without a plate to split a salad, not appetizer plates, etc. I had to ask for everything. They need to improve the polish at this price point. Food, unfortunately, was OK. We split the prime ribeye and added a lobster tail, which turned out to be a lengthwise lobster split. Plate was a hot mess, with the lobster dropped on the plate right in the mashed potatoes, no plate for the shell and no crackers until I asked for them. Very messy to eat and not appealing to the eye. Steak was fattier than I would say is reasonable for a $75 prime steak. Garlic mashers were watery and under-seasoned. I will give it another try, but for the money, significant improvements have to happen. If they want to charge near fine dining prices, food quality and service need to catch up. read more

Wonderful burgers ! The smash burger was a hit. The Wagyu burger beef was cooked perfectly , double patty , with all the fixings. The dinks came out perfect , waitress and servers where attentive , and the meals seemed to arrive with perfect timing read more

Beautiful restaurant. It didn't have a huge menu with common items so check ahead if you are picky . I'll be back for ambience alone .

Had a tasty dinner served by Michael. Amazing service and food was delicious! Drinks and apps were simple but quality which I enjoyed and appreciated. Favorite was the rum cake dessert! read more

Today, we had dinner at Sparrow Trailhead in Peoria. One of the best restaurants in town. Their service was paramount to all other restaurants, the ambience was upscale modern and the food was unique and tasteful. And I want to thank their floor manager Melanie for her staff, the food and overall service offered, Nicole the Sous Chief for adding so much flavor to our Market Vegetable Pasta and to Breanna our waitress knowing and recommendations she made to make our meals spectacular. We highly recommend trying the butter board and the banana rum cake. Sparrow is a complete 10 out of 10. read more

Let's start off with the good. The decor is funky/eclectic/upscale if that's a thing. And the people watching... WOW Peoria! I didn't know you had it in ya! The pretentious were all out that night. The treat: Club clothes from the 90s came back out - on the same people who wore them back then. Take a minute for that visual... Now for the rest. Menu doesn't have too much to write home about and for the prices they are getting, portions and quality should be much better. Around 7:30 the music went from background to club noise level. Only four in my party and we couldn't even have a conversation with the two across the table it was so loud. Cue the random saxophonist, who strolled around like a cool kid playing god knows what that clashed with the DJs choice of tunes. Service was SLOW. We were enjoying a nice night out with friends but I did not want to be there for 2+ hours. At one point none of us even had any water on our table. Literally Nothing. To. Drink. Asked for a sample of wine which - no lie - took 30 minutes to arrive. Super disappointed. We were really hoping for a cool place really close to home. read more

Not your neighborhood bar. The menu, drink list or desert menu will ask you to say, "ahhhhhh!" Add in a Team of mixologists, servers and managers, you have a perfect evening! Not inexpensive, but you will leave feeling SATISFIED! read more

Lee our waiter was incredible. He knew answers to our inquiries and had honest recommendations we took to account in our decision making. Everything from start to finish was exceptional. Highly recommend him as your server and the restaurant food was soooo good read more

We went with another couple to Sparrow last night, and the whole experience was amazing! The restaurant is beautiful, the dishes were gorgeously presented and so delicious. Our waiter was the best - professional and very personable. We ordered the Miso black cod x 2, salt and vinegar fish and chips and ribs. This place is perfectly comparable to all our favorites in Scottsdale, yet so much closer to home . read more

Our visit to Sparrow was overshadowed by a serious food safety issue. My wife ordered the Ham Jam Sam sandwich and bit into a large piece of plastic hidden inside it. The plastic was approximately 2 inches wide. This wasn't a tiny fragment that could have been easily missed--it was a substantial piece of plastic that never should have made it into anyone's food. Thankfully she wasn't seriously injured, but the outcome could have been much worse. The restaurant refunded only the cost of the Ham Jam Sam. While we appreciate that they acknowledged the problem, we were disappointed they didn't refund our entire meal. This wasn't a minor mistake or a simple order mix-up--it was a serious food safety issue that ruined our dining experience. After watching my wife bite into such a large piece of plastic, neither of us felt comfortable finishing our food. Mistakes can happen, but serving food with a foreign object this large is unacceptable. We expected a sincere apology, a refund for our entire meal, and reassurance that the incident would be thoroughly investigated so it doesn't happen to another customer. We hope Sparrow takes this incident seriously and improves its quality control. No customer should have to worry about biting into a large piece of plastic while eating a sandwich. read more

Such a cool little spot. Came here with friends for drinks and appetizers and had a great time. The place feels modern, super clean, and well taken care of. Our server was really sweet and attentive the whole time, and honestly the entire staff was friendly. Extra shoutout to the host, Luke. Total gentleman and went above and beyond making sure we were taken care of. Overall, awesome experience. We'll definitely be back soon to come try dinner too. read more

Made a reservation for Father's Day Brunch. From moment walked in till we were on our way out the door, my kids and I had nothing but the best customer service. Natalie our waitress and Nate the manager visited the table with great suggestions. Natalie talked up the steak and eggs, well worth it as steak was perfectly cooked. We finished it off with a banana rum cake, let's just say it didn't last long with a couple spoons. read more

Sparrow - Steak and eggs with arugula - American Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

First-I appreciate that we have several joints open with an upscale atmosphere, service and ambiance that you'd normally have to drive 30-45 min to experience, coming from a "West-sider". Food was good: crab dip, sushi, black cod, drinks...however, let's talk about what restaurants refer to as "Truth in menu". This is referred to when a protein is weighed prior to cooking-usually reserved for high end cuts. I ordered the $74 al la carte "prime" 16 oz ribeye. For reference, if you go down the street to Frys and check out the case of ribeyes, those are close to 16 oz-thick, meaty, à la carte worthy steaks. The ribeye I got was 1/3 in-ish thick, sear was "mid" (Gen Z word for average), no seasoning, just the pinch of fleur de sel on the board. No way is was 16 oz prior to cooking. (16 oz=1 lb) When I confirmed medium rare, even the little cook it got from the line caused it to be not mid rare. The steak looked like what you'd use for a taqueria, quickly cooked just to dice it. I don't mind paying $74 for a steak, but please make sure it's "à la carte" worthy. Hard to justify this especially when there's a steakhouse across the street with similar prices, but the steaks there are so different as a "prime" cut. read more

As you walk in this place is pretty aka trendy.. there is a great bar area because we love to sit at the bar. Bartenders were extremely nice overwhelmingly helpful and the place had a good vibe. They played good music. The food was great. I love the bake oysters the burger, the lobster sandwich amazing. There's also a really cool outside area where you can sit if you don't wanna be inside and I think this is a great complement to this area ( Peoria) and will give people in this area a nice place to go to hang out and get good food, strong drinks, and great service.! read more

Its nice to see higher end restaurants coming to the west side! We went here for lunch. I had the lobster roll and my wife had the weekend at bernies salad. The salad is very similar to the chopped salad at The Gladly and Citizens Public House. It was very good, and our only recommendation here would be to shred the cheese instead of chopping it. The lobster roll was good, but it is expensive and there isnt much lobster. I will probably get something different next time we go. The ambiance is great. I could see myself parked at the bar for a few hours. The menu has a broad range of items and we will definitely be back. read more

Great Experience at Sparrow -- North Peoria Keeps Leveling Up! We had a really nice evening at Sparrow. We sat on the patio in the comfy patio chairs just outside the bar. The patio is open to the little courtyard with the fountain--such a relaxing spot. Our waiter, Michael, was incredibly sweet and helpful the entire night. I had the Amor Rouge ($18). It was really good -- refreshing. My husband had the Ember Old Fashioned ($22). Also good. I ordered the prime rib dip (minus the pretzel roll. Very good. The horseradish aioli was delicious, but the fries were just the skinny frozen kind -- definitely not what you'd expect at $32. Fresh-cut fries would make a big difference. My husband had the fish fry. The Brussels coleslaw was amazing, just a tiny portion -- next time we'll definitely ask for a double! For dessert we had the banana rum cake. Yummy -- perfect finish. We're honestly just so excited to have restaurants like this popping up in our neighborhood. Between Sparrow and the other spots at The Trailhead and the 83 Marketplace restaurants, North Peoria has seriously leveled up. It's so nice to have elevated dining close to home. Tip: Highly recommend making a reservation if you're planning on dinner after 6 PM as they may not have any tables available. It's very busy after 7pm on the weekend. read more

The atmosphere was great, definitely a nice place to hang out. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the vibe. The meatballs were honestly terrible, and the steak was just average at best. The side of béarnaise sauce was ridiculously overpriced for how little you get, it came out in a portion about the size of a ketchup cup. On the positive side, the Brussels sprouts were fantastic. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and easily one of the best things on the table. The banana rum cake was also excellent and ended the meal on a high note. Overall, cool spot with potential, but the food quality and value just don't match the setting. read more

We love the atmosphere inside and out and the food is amazing. So glad to have a great restaurant like this so close to home

This is one of my favorite places to go to in North Phoenix (Peoria). They have now been open about 5 months now and have everything dialed in from food preparation to service, and an awesome menu. This is not a chain restaurant... it is a one-of-a-kind location, scratch kitchen and menu. Bartenders and servers are amazing and friendly. The restaurant and bar are classy but not intimidating and prices are reasonable depending on your occasion for dining. Where else can you go and get the best wings, oysters, wagyu beef, fish fry, prime rib sandwich and a classy atmosphere with amazing bourbons and drinks and all with a huge horseshoe shaped bar and classy dining area as well. This is a place you bring friends and visiting family for a relaxed beer at lunch time while watching some sports at the bar (no yelling by the way... not that type of place) or want to class it up some for a nice dinner in the dining area. I have brought many friends and family here and all have been impressed. read more

We went Sparrow for second and food and service was as good as first time. Only thing is I made reservation couple months ago and when they seated us they gave us a high top and hate high top table. There were several bites open and that is what I prefer so not really sure why they sat us in the bar area. Not really happy about that. This is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. Not sure how you get those other seats. read more

Really cool and clean place. The appetizers and the shrimp and grits special was delicious. I would not recommend the grilled lobster; it was pretty dry. read more
