We (2 couples) visited Sparrow + Wolf for the first time, very excited thanks to the multiple raving reviews and recommendations by friends. We picked the tasting menu + wine pairings - we did not order anything beyond the standard tasting menu + wine pairing, except for one of the 4 people in our party opting to not eat meat, so a couple of items on the standard tasting menu were replaced, for this one person, with fish items. I don't know if this added to the standard price, I assume it did for our bill ending up unexpectedly high, but I don't know as we do not have a detailed bill - which is one of the major issues we have with this restaurant - more later, but I want to first address the good things - and then list some of the not-so-good things. Let's go in order. The good: 1. Nicely located off the strip, easily accessible, and finding parking was easy and convenient. Since it rarely rains in Las Vegas, our finding a parking spot at a bit of a walking stretch from the entrance is not an issue, as we need to work on our step counts anyway. 2. The decorations, outfitting, appointments both from aesthetics and artistic standpoint were of high quality/class. 3. The food was excellent, the wine pairings were mostly excellent, too - except one red that felt a bit too light and sub par. 4. The service was personal, Nick is a great entertainer. The not-so-good: 1. The bill was $1,027 (for a party of 4 people - again ordering NOTHING extra, but the tasting menu + wine pairings - not sure if swapping a couple of meat items w/ fish dish substitutions could have been adding anything extra). We did split that up between the 2 couples and paid $513.50 each. 2. This bill force-included the tip, but we don't even know how much tip was. We would have tipped well on our own, by choice, perhaps not over 20%, but for this total, even 15% is a good sum I think - we just don't have any idea what we tipped as we were not given a choice. It is customary to auto-charge 18% tip for parties of 6 people or more, but (1) we were only 4; and (2) we have no idea what was charged. 3. We don't know that as we never saw an itemized bill either. This is a big problem, even for including this for reimbursement or tax purposes. In summary, good food, good service, good ambience, perhaps unreasonably expensive for what it was, but I may have paid this much anyway - if the price is a bit out of proportion for what it was, I say it is not by much - and that really is not our problem, because the experience was overall truly superb. Unfortunately much of that was ruined by the way the evening ended and how the bill was handled. The fact we did not see or have a detailed bill AND the forced-choice re: tipping (and not even allowed to know what we are tipping) I consider borderline shady or even illegal practice. Overall, we had a wonderful evening, 1st class experience, thanks to the company, Nick's truly engaging entertainment, and the overall high quality of everything from the ambience to the food quality, to the service. A unique experience. It would have been a strong 5 star overall rating if the bill wasn't handled this way. It is staggeringly expensive, but again, that is not my main problem, but how the bill was handled: no choice on tip and no detailed bill.
