    We tried Sparks Water Bar for lunch and the food was great! We also sat at a table by the window, which has a nice view looking out on the water. For lunch, it is a little pricey, but sometimes some really great food and a nice view are worth the splurge.

    This was our first visit to the restaurant and we loved it! It was a gorgeous setting, with polite staff and great service, the food was fantastic, and my daughter enjoyed her drink from the bar. Will definitely be visiting again.

    The food and service was great. The drinks were fun. It’s a little expensive but not so much to take away. I would definitely return to enjoy the food, drinks and evening view.

    It's nice for a bar and restaurant, but it's not the Atlantis Steakhouse. The kitchen is visible from the restaurant. Food is good. Drinks are phenomenal. It could be a 3 star restaurant, but it's not.

    I chose to take family out for Thanksgiving dinner this year. The Water Bar is a place that I enjoyed during the summer. The food was delicious and the people delightful. We enjoyed our time there and felt comfortable. We plan on returning for Christmas and making this a tradition for our holiday dinners
