   Visited on Sunday lunchtime and although it was very quiet the service and food were excellent. The Sunday roast ham was delicious. Maybe a fixed price lunch menu would help attract more customers.

   First visit, requested mezzanine table for 4 which we got. Service was excellent, various staff members continually checking we were happy with everything. Food was good, and as it was quiet we were able to sit way past our 2hour allocation. Had a lovely afternoon and will definitely return. Great to have a decent local restaurant and bar.

   Fantastic addition to the area whether it be for a daytime or evening drinks or food. Attentive service, spotlessly clean, and great food.

   Great food and service! Nice little restaurant in the Southside. We had Sophie R. She was attentive without being overly so. Had a really great night catching up with friends and will definitely be back.

   I dont usually do reviews but I just really wanted to thank the staff at Velvet Sparrow for our dinner experience yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was truly outstanding. We were out for date night for the first time in awhile and I'm so glad we chose Velvet Sparrow, lovely start to the Bank Holiday weekend as well!

    The service provided to my friend and I that evening was fantastic. Both waitresses were friendly, approachable, funny and sociable - the type of experience you want! We told them that we'd definitely be back. Thanks for such a wonderful evening.

    Lovely venue and decor. Staff very friendly and attentive. Menu varied with a good choice for all age groups. Food well presented and very tasty. Service well organised with vourses well spaced, dining with an older person and gound main course portion a bit big but a takeje box offered. Noise level a bit much from road music and staff especially for older guest eith hearing issues.

Cocktails are unbelievable - best white russian I’ve ever tasted!!😍 10/10 food and service, will definitely be back. This is exactly what Cathcart was needing! Thank you so much

    So disappointed. Have been to Velvet Sparrow a few times and this was first time with new evening menu. Had to wait 45 mins for starter and same again for main. Starters were lovely but mains were very poor. Manager did apologise as chef was not happy with the way the cod had cooked and wanted to do another. Shame he forgot to cook the broccoli and add the sauce. My friends seafood linguine was on the cold side. The waitress was really friendly and pleasant and the Manager did reduce our bill quite considerably. It was definitely not fine dining and perhaps they should consider going back to more of the original menu? There were lots of people in having drinks which is great so perhaps some smaller plates would be better. Will I go back again, probably because it’s so handy and the staff are great and atmosphere good. Hopefully it was a one off bad night and things improve.

    We arrived for lunch and the staff were extremely friendly and very knowledgable. The dishes were amazing! With a great range of food, meeting the needs of all dietary requirements as our table was very demanding. The cocktails were fab, negroni being my personal fave! A fantastic wee hidden gem!

    Soggy batter on both fish. It should be crispy. Soup has to be returned to kitchen as it was too cold. Waitresses were lovely and welcoming, very friendly. Think the chefs could have done better as it was quiet and lunchtime so it was t as if they were rushed. I would give it a second chance as it’s local.

    First visit under Velvet Sparrow ownership for Saturday night dinner with family. Menu is a little bit limited and not much change to decor. Food was good for both adults and children (although they don’t have a set children’s menu in place as yet). Where VS scores highly is excellent service, welcome and attention to their diners. Overall we enjoyed the experience and will be back 👍
