Best

Most people probably don't jump straight to their burger, but it's the best I've ever had delivered in this city.

Worst

...this was my favorite restaurant. Unfortunately Spark is having its downfall. From bad service to cold and overcooked food you name it they got it. First I thought, well everybo...

Great Menu, great foo~d! Good spot to take out of town friends 12/31/2008

Spark is consistently good food with great service and nice setting. I've taken friends from out of town for dinner, mainly because we have always had a great meal and nice evening... The fish specials are always winners~ more

Wonderful experience 6/2/2008

A wonderful experience from beginning to end. My husband and I enjoyed dinner at Spark for the first time last week to celebrate his birthday. I was able to make a short notice (same day) reservation on Open Table. When I called the restaurant a few hours later to confirm, they had everything including my special seating request that was "no problem" to accommodate. Even when I called 15 minutes before our reservation letting them know we were running about 15 minutes late, they were extremely friendly and thanked us for the notice. Everyone at the restaurant was friendly and the service was excellent. Our beverages were constantly filled (a pet peeve of mine). We started our meals with two appetizers -- the fried calamari and the buffeleta mozzarella caprese salad. I enjoyed a lovely Lemon Drop cocktail while my husband went with the non-alcoholic version (a lemonade). Hubby went for the manly "cowboy" 20 oz bone-in ribeye steak with the Maytag bleu cheese topping. I showed some restraint and tried the daily special sea bass with jasmine rice instead of the mashed potatoes. Both entrees were flavorful and filling. We hadn't planned on having dessert but our server must have overheard me say it was his birthday and she brought us a complimentary tiramisu to end the evening. I have to say, generally I dislike Tiramisu because most places drown it in alcohol or just too much liquid in general. But this tiramisu was just wonderful. It was light, creamy, and the lady fingers were NOT mush. The cocoa powder dusted over the top mellowed out the coffee flavor, and we ate the whole thing. We definitely recommend Spark for a great dinner in a casual atmosphere. Cons: Valet parking can get hectic, and the wait a little tiresome more

Outstanding restaurant! 4/12/2008

Last night was my second time at Sparks and will not be my last. The ambiance is fabulous, the service outstanding, and the food second to none. The waiter and bus boys were never too far away, I never needed to wait for my glass to be re-filled. Even the manager checked on us several times. With cocktails, drinks, desert, and a well deserved 25% tip, the bill came to about $75 a person which considering the great time we had was a BARGAIN! Keep up the good work folks. Pros: Fantastic steaks & deserts, great service more

Not a good experience! I placed an order at 8:05 pm and the website stated that it would be delivered at and I quote "8:42ish". 9:08 is not "8:42ish" it is almost 30 minutes late. I called the restaurant at 9:00 pm inquiring as to where our food was. The young lady who answered the phone was ill equipped to handle a customer complaint. I was put on hold several times. She didn't offer to get the manager, she did offer to send out replacement food if ours was cold. The problem was we didn't want to wait another hour for our food. My chicken was luke warm, the green beans were grey and overcooked. My girlfriends pizza was soggy even after we tried to crisp it in the oven. As we have ordered from them before and it has been a good experience most of the time. We will try them one more time. more

Great Fillet Minion 1/5/2008

I went here for dinner with my friends and we had a great time. We got a margherita pizza as an appetizer and it was great for a simple thin crust pizza. I also got the fillet minion for dinner and it was delicious. It was cooked perfectly...very tender and juicy. Overall we had a great experience. The restaurant is fairly small and intimate. I definitely recommend it as a date place. Pros: Great food, service, and atomostphere more

Wonderful! 11/6/2007

My mom and I went here for dinner and really enjoyed our food. We started with the wedge salad and then shared the fillet with green beans and french fries. The french fries were fabulous and the steak was cooked perfectly. The prices were very reasonable -- it was great for a casual early dinner. more

Check out the happy hour upstairs!! 8/24/2007

Some friends and I went to Spark for their Happy Hour after seeing a billboard on Ventura Blvd. I have to say what a GREAT find this place was! Apparently, Spark hosts ""studio hour"" every weekday from 5-8 upstairs in their wine lounge. Fantastic! The appetizers were phenomenal as was the service and the drinks. The bartender, Brian, really knows what he is doing. I reccomend you stop in and sample one of his spicy-tinis, immediately. Great food, cheap wine and martinis (6 bucks!), wonderful ambiance and music and the sevice is second to none. It's only a matter of time before this place is discovered by the masses, so get here before the rest of the valley does. Pros: Ambiance, The Service, The Drinks Cons: Limited Parking more

Was fun for a birthday dinner 7/13/2007

Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, but when we ordered a steak and told them not to char it, they said "its impossible to char it it," and it then came out charred. Great drinks, nice atmosphere, I would go back. Pros: Attentive Wait staff, nice atmosphere Cons: very little parking unless you want to pay for valet more
