The service was excellent for our group of 6. As a group we found the food quality to be inconsistent. The Pork and Chicken were very good though the Salmon was dried out and not as tasty as it should be. The calamari was very good though the beet salad was only OK. The ambiance inside the actual restaurant was a tad cold, especially when you consider the outside was pitch black. If you are going to have $70+ main course items on your menu, I think food quality should be uniform and more warm. Good job on the serve ce.

My husband and I flew from Birmingham Al to dine at Swens for our anniversary and they were closed without notification. I found out they were closed by looking at their stories on Instagram. They didn’t call or email letting us know this information. We drove an hour away from our hotel and any type of notification would have been great. This was so disappointing as we were looking forward to dining here.

Really cool place to hang out and have some drinks and some great food. Went with the two kids and my wife and what was awesome was just games. Room downstairs and kids go hang out. Give us some time away. Really recommend this place.
