Best Lunch Restaurants in Kenmore

Very innovative dishes (main and small) that were delightful. Ambience was subdued in high-walled, outward facing booths. It was a clever arrangement to accommodate larger boisterous parties and still have a romantic setting for couples. Service and presentation were flawless. Cocktails were creative, beautiful and delicious. Can’t think of one thing that could be better.

We had a wonderful Valentines dinner. The pre fix menu had many great choices. We chose: Lobster bisque, salmon caviar crostini, waygu NY Steak with a lobster tail and flourless choc cake. Butternut squash soup, buratta, lobster risotto and crème burley. Every item was cooked to perfection. I have never heard my husband give so much praise to how outstanding his steak was. The timing of each part of the 4 course meal was perfect. The musician played great music with out being to loud. Ryan our favorite server took great care of us. We will be back. Sparrow is our favorite neighborhood restaurant! (I forgot to include that there was a singe stemmed red rose on our table when we were seated which I thought was a very nice touch done for all guests)

We had the tavern burger which was amazing and was a large portion. Also we got the black and white fries which were amazing and came with a tasty sauce.

Food was wonderful, we had a great waiter who was very attentive and never made us feel rushed even when they were clearly very busy.

My husband surprised me with a pre-Valentine's dinner at Café Juanita, and it was an unforgettable experience. The service was impeccable, and the wine pairing was spot-on. The steak was grilled to perfection—something I rarely find when dining out, as it's often overcooked or undercooked elsewhere. The romantic ambiance made the evening feel truly special, taking us back to the early days of our 25-year journey together. A night to remember!
