    Papi fresco & smashley drinks
    Tatyana M.

    Made a reservation for brunch one Sunday and it was decent. When we were walked to our table and were first offered a table that felt very tight in between two groups. We asked for another option and we got a nice spot in an inside/outside, covered patio area? Service was a bit slow at first as there were quite a few big groups, but once we were introduced, service was great. The music, drinks, and food was pretty good. We got the smashley and papi fresco. The smashley was great, kind of like a cucumber martini? (Bartenders, don't judge me, I don't know the ingredients of drinks), but it was good! The papi fresco was okayyyy, I was hoping for more passion fruit, less aperol. Food was good, I got the delta breakfast sandwich. The menu for brunch isn't super long. As we were leaving, the front room with the bar had gotten a lot more lively and crowded. I'd come back!

    I absolutely love this place. The food is amazing. The service is spectacular. The ambience is a typical brunch spot. I probably will be back for brunch. I will say that the weight is typically longer than usual.

    Scrambled eggs

    Ambiance: Came on a Saturday at 11am and it was chill. We were literally the only people there. By 1pm a DJ showed up and it was nice Server: Jordan was our server. He was super cool and I appreciated his vibe. He made sure that we were taken care of. Food: Brioche French Toast with bacon and eggs: I personally was not a fan. It was not brioche bread and it was a little more drenched in berries than I would like. The scrambled eggs were delicious, I got 2. The bacon has a cherry dressing that I'm not a fan of but I am also very much a fan of savory being savory and sweet being sweet. Grits are more cheesy than I'm used to. My friend loved them, I prefer my grits more southern Bottle less mimosa: They give the champagne in a glass and you top with whatever flavor (which is what I prefer).

    Cornbread

    We were hosting family, and someone had suggested to order The Delta. We ordered a bunch of different items to share. It was right when the restaurant opens, and we picked up immediately when it was estimated to be ready. Since our order was so large, I think most items had been sitting a while and cooled. The Delta Wings weren't crispy, Cornbread became dry, fries soggy, etc. The Singapore Street Noodles was my favorite dish, had a little kick to it, generous shrimp, and bouncy noodles. I also liked the Southern Cajun Corn Elote, but the corn wasn't in season (small kernels). Overall, if we had dined in, or had a smaller order, I imagine the quality would've been better. The flavors were good.

    Top of the Hill
    Nicole B.

    Offering great value with the bottomless option and providing excellent, friendly service, and the music was great! However, my expectations for the food weren't high, and unfortunately, it didn't exceed them. Specifically, the shrimp and andouille gumbo hash was quite salty. Thankfully, the Top of the Hill dish came to the rescue, and pairing its rice with the gumbo helped balance out the flavors. Overall, while there were no real disappointments, the food simply wasn't anything special. This spot is just okay overall.

    Specialty drink

    Wow this place was a bit of a hidden gem! We came for Friday night happy hour which was 5-7 and half off their cocktail menu which included the large formaT drinks. I will say... "large format" is definitely generous as it wasn't much larger than a normal cup and def was on the low side for alcohol but it was delicious! Getting just a cocktail was a much better deal though, certainly wouldn't pay full price for either but also tried the lemon squeezy and it was alright. For dinner we got the catfish and chips and the burger and split them. Both were delicious! Especially the burger. Would come back for that alone. The fries were good, I liked the seasoning but personal preference would be skinnier. The cornbread was also super good! Different from any I've had, a unique flavor but I liked it. Waitstaff was great. Music was good. Overall highly recommend!

    MASH rules everything around me

    WUTANG WEDNESDAYS are great. All the food and drinks are named after Wutang songs and they play Wutang all night. I enjoyed myself. The place is a bit small so my friend and I sat at the bar not to sit so close to the next group. The staff was really nice and made great recommendations. The meatloaf was amazingly good. It's like they grind the meat themselves because the texture was smooth. That meal is called "Mas" rules everything around me. My friend had the Protect ya peck which friend chicken and a spicy sauce. The chicken and sauce were good, but they were a lil stingy with the sauce. Our only complaint is the food came out about 15-20 mins apart but the service and food made up for it. I will be back

    Nashville hot chicken sandwich
    Brinny S.

    I came here for brunch with friends on a Sunday morning during their slow period. Service was a little rough around the edges, but the food was very filling and very good. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich, and it was pretty big, very saucy, and very flavorful. It came with a huge side of hash browns that were also good. I would definitely come again for the lively brunch vibes later in the day that I've heard about!

    Went to The Delta during a weekend in Chicago with a small group for brunch. The restaurant had a cozy and quaint feel to it which set the tone. Our server Jordan was great. He was funny, attentive and really catered to us. For our bottomless mimosas, our glasses were always full! I had the Breakfast Burger which I really enjoyed. It was great. When we were getting ready to leave around 1ish or so, this is when the DJ came through. We got to enjoy the early part of his set which was a vibe!

    Hoppin John
    Paula W.

    Visited on a Thursday evening, and was pleasantly surprised. Our server was attentive and checked in often. Once we ordered our food arrived quickly, the meal was hot and fresh. My Hoppin johns had the perfect kick and was tasty. The cornbread was also really good. The burger was simple but tasty. Overall, this was a great visit from the time we walked in until we walked out.

    Breakfast burger
    Jared E.

    Off jump, the server Jordan was cool. Bro is funny and personable. I got the breakfast burger. The breakfast burger was good. I give it a 7 out of 10. It's just a good burger and will leave you satisfied. The hash brown that came with it was overcooked though. The ambiance was nice.. it is a good place to sit, chat, enjoy the vibes and grab a drink. The staff are honestly the people who make the place worth going to because of how genuine they are. I recommend checking it out and judging it for yourself.

    mac and cheese and red hot tamales as apps. 
 Both were fine; the tamales were not spicy tho
    Lucas W.

    Everything was awesome. Service was excellent, food was great, we had a great time. On the service; the friend we were with can have dizzy spells and one thing to trigger such spells is flashing lights. We asked them to turn of the (totally unnecessary) disco lights and they said no problem (especially as it was still light out anyway...). Also on the service, the chef came out to the table and said my order of Hoppin' John (gumbo) would've been the last serving of the pot and just wasn't up the quality they were willing to serve. I appreciated that. So instead, given the wait, they comp'd my entree. I got the fried catfish instead which was amazing. The spices and seasoning in the batter were incredible. A great blackened cajun type spicing to it and would definitely recommend getting it. It's one of the best fried catfish I've had, honestly. My wife got the shrimp and grits and said she enjoyed it too.

    Easy sitting at bar!

    I have been here a couple of times because the bartenders are nice and it is a nice atmosphere. They have a private back room which is great for larger groups. This review is only for drinks as I haven't had chance to try food when here, but it does look delicious! A $16 maker mark old fashioned starts at $16 which is misleading as it's actually $25! Just to hard to justify for what you get and I hate that it feels like it's misleading. If prices were closer to what's advertised it would feel better and I would likely order more drinks and stay longer.

That is to say: I am not throwing words of praise like "one of a kind" and "phenomenal" around lightly. Both are different and still amazing. Sparrow has a vibe straight out of the 1920s. The decor, signage, use of color, and absence of screens or TV's all contribute to the theme. The music is also appropriate and plays at the perfect volume to be pleasant without forcing one to raise their voice. I tried the Green Daisy and a House Old Fashioned. The Green Daisy was boozy and had some herbaceous notes. A little tartness and a little sweetness helped balance the drink out and make for a phenomenal sipper. I loved the creativity with this one! The House Old Fashioned was also well done, assembled with quality ingredients in balance with one another. Nothing wrong with a well-executed classic. The prices are more or less reasonable considering the location and overall market, with bevies costing around $16. The bar staff is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming! Final verdict: A spot where I can say come for the drinks and stay for the vibe. It's the kind of place where walking in you are transported a century into the past. Everything about the experience, including the atmosphere, drinks, service, and prices, is calling me to return and bring some people with me.

I ordered the horchata 2 ways cocktail which was $12 for haply hour and is typically $16. $12 is the highest amount for a happy hour cocktail that I have ever paid and I dont think it was worth it. The 1st sip was good but it was a very sweet drink and I was over it by the end. The drink also was half a very heavy cream so when you drank it you were drinking the liquid but not getting much of the cream. So you either had to lick the cream off the top or drink on the liquid and then either leave the cream or somehow scoop it out with your tongue so not really a well conceived cocktail. One of the fun and unique things about the bar is they bring out free tapas every once in a while similar to bars in Spain. They brought out edamame to the people at the bar right around 5pm and a group next to me asked at around 530pm if more tapas would come out and the bar person said the come out every 45 mins. I was there til around 630pm and another round of tapas never came out so do not expect that if you go. They did not give you water unless you specific ask for it which I though was odd, I heard 3 groups besides myself at the bar who had to ask for water, especially since this is supposed to be a nice cocktail bar and this is just one of my pet peeves but the water did not contain ice and was closer to room temperature which is not how I enjoy my water. Despite not being super crowded I had to ask for the check from 2 different people and it took 15 mins for them to bring it so if it is crowded I expect they will have pretty slow service. They do bring you a fortune cookie woth your check where you can potentially win a discount on your check or other prizes which is fun. Unfortunately the fortune cookie tastes a bit stale. I would say that this place is not worth it for happy hour but it had a cool but very dark vibe in there so it might be good for a romantic date depending on how good the food is.

With mixology being all the rage for the last 20+ years, I almost feel like it's hard to come up with a new drink concept these days. Truce shows that creativity in the world of booze is alive and well, and I count myself lucky to have had a taste. The 'Peas + Carrots' was a surprise win. Scotch, blanco tequila, sochu, carrot, snap pea, ginger, and kukicha. Sounds bizarre as hell, but it absolutely works. I also had a 'Final Say,' a spin on a classic featuring gin, clementine, fino, galliano, turmeric, black pepper, and lemon. The 'I Can't Believe It's Beer' has everything from mezcal and rooibos tea to guava and an aperitivo. I could ramble on about their menu, but I'd say just check Truce out yourself. You get what I'm saying. Their creative juices are clearly flowing, and they switch the menu up seasonally. They have some light bites too, but I really recommend them for cocktails and coffee. I wouldn't come here for dinner. They do drinks, so come here to drink. Plenty of very savvy-sounding N/A options, too. It's sleek, intimate, sexy, relaxed, and fun. Come through at 8 AM for a cocktail, roll through at 11 PM for a coffee, there's no judgment here. I'll be keeping an eye on Truce.
