Sparrow, an American Contemporary restaurant nestled in the heart of the Juanita neighborhood in Kirkland, came to life on July 5th, 2022. Beyond its delectable cuisine, Sparrow seeks to be more than just a restaurant; it aims to be a symbol of love and connection, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek mythology where sparrows were revered as the sacred birds of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
The restaurant takes its name from the sparrow, a creature symbolizing true love and spiritual connection. Just like the Pacific Northwest teems with these beautiful birds, Sparrow infuses its food and service with the same love, creating a unique and enchanting dining experience.
Check out the video for an in-depth look into Sparrow.
