    While the interior ambiance and food carried the night, the wait staff attention to detail remained lacking. The waiter inattentiveness to water being served, ensuring that both myself and guest are served entrees at same time was not within his strength. Table was not bussed and had numerous staff walk by without so much as a look to our table. The GM certainly wasn’t going to notice so why would I expect our waiter?

    We had a hard time getting service, one item never arrived. Had to track someone down to get check so we could leave in time for show. I was told the booth was reserved so we could not sit there but no one showed up. May have just been understaffed. Beautiful restaurant

    Great atmosphere and service. The food wasn’t great. A $36 steak dinner that was smaller than an appetizer, served on a giant 12” plate and was maybe at the most 4 oz of meat? No thanks. Will not be returning.

    Really excellent dinner and great wine. Service friendly and pt rushed but not sow either. We had 4 dishes between two of us. Only downside would be that it’s very dark so menu reading is tricky.

    The servers look disheveled and brought me food that I was allergic to even though I explicitly said I was allergic to it. This place has really gone downhill. On top of that they were playing gangster rap at 5 PM. Don’t get me wrong, I love gangster rap but not when I’m eating a $40 steak for happy hour at a bougie restaurant.

    We weren’t mega hungry but had the apricot wrapped in bacon and the fried Brussels sprouts and beef wrapped sushi which was all amazing. Highlights were the Brussels and apricots which were outstanding!!! Amazing place with great service and ambience.

    The food, wine, and cocktails were yummy, and the shared-plates concept was fun. The request to order all courses up front so that staff could coordinate the delivery experience, however, broke down for our visit, as courses were delivered on top of each other. Also, despite having a reservation, we were rushed through our meal, with the server overfilling wine glasses to split roughly the second half of our bottle between us. For the price point, I felt that the service could have been dialed in a bit better, especially with a mostly empty restaurant earlier in the evening.

    We dined at Swift’s Attic in search of a rehearsal dinner venue. It was perfect! The food was great and our server was amazing. We took all his recommendations and they did not disappoint. The size, charm, and unique menu make this a strong contender.
