The John Sparr Tavern offers a cozy, English Tavern-like atmosphere with attentive and kind staff. The menu features delicious options like steak, fish and chips, and deviled eggs, although limited non-meat dinner choices are available. Skilled bartenders craft beautiful cocktails, making it a great spot for a date night or a classy drink.
The restaurant is described as a "gem" with a seamlessly curated experience. It looks small but feels big inside, and even when full, it's never too loud. The wait staff are attentive and personable, and customers are always welcomed warmly, whether dining with a partner, friends, or family. Every dish ordered is praised as wonderful, from the starters to the mains.
The food is excellent, and the service is fantastic, providing a really good all-around experience. While not the cheapest option, the quality and atmosphere make it feel worth the price, with entrees around $50 and cocktails around $14. A dinner for two, including pre-dinner cocktails, no wine with dinner, and an after-dinner Cognac, can cost around $200 after tip.
