    Great place to dine. Atmosphere is very nice. Relaxed with outdoor fireplace near by. Views, great. Lovely to meet others for a meal. One thing, I hesitate to mention, but, when our guest's meal was not quite as requested. Salad dressing on the side was the request for a chicken Ceasars salad. We were all surprised when the server said for our guest to just try it first. No, this not acceptable. It puts our guest on the spot and pressure to settle for what she didn't want. We requested a new salad be brought. The server promptly did this. But, it made me think twice about inviting others to join us for an evening here. BTW, not our original waiter, the one bringing the entree out of the chef's kitchen was the one with the comment. But, we will be back. The restaurant as a whole is great. A nice addition to the city of Sparks.

    We went on Mother's Day, so the restaurant was really crowded and a little noisy. We had the choice to eat outside or inside, but it was very windy. On a calmer day, it would have been lovely to eat outside. The view is pretty. The food was good and came in a decent time frame considering the holiday. My only complaint is that our waiter wasn't around much so it took a very long time to even get a water refill. I would definitely go back on a less busy day.

    We were seated by a family whose kids were running around during our entire meal whining, screaming and climbing on the heaters. The staff spoke to the parents numerous times but nothing changed. It ended in an argument and the staff at the water bar acted like it was our fault and said they would move us. What a shame they would let this happen in their restaurant on Mother’s Day. We won’t be back.

    I don’t mind spending money on quality food which was what I was expecting with this $100 dollar Mother’s Day buffet. The food was below average and selection for a buffet was minimal. I definitely would avoid any special occasion events they have.

    I had a ribeye. It was done just the way I wanted. The sides of mashed and veg were fresh and flavorful. My wife had sole stuffed with crab and she said it was excellent.

    Atmosphere, location, and service were great. My ribeye was not very good. Cooked properly but a mediocre pice of meet with quite a bit of gristle. Eat somewhere else, then come to Sparks Water Bar for a drink.
