This was an utter atrocity of a dining experience! Nothing went well at all. There were spots and food residue on just about everything set on our table. As for what was ON our table, someone may call it food, I would refer to it as "SLOP!" The "chef," blue and/or purple hair and all is supposed to be the owner's daughter?? Not sure there. The SLOP put on our table le tasted like she might have gotten some or perhaps a lot of her hair dye mixed into it!! I don't even want to mention the sad state of the "wine offerings." I must warn you, however, that several of the wines offered were or currently are on clearance at Publix or BJ's Wholesale Club, or the local package store where, if you really wanted to try them and bought them at one of these places, the very first thing you would notice I'd that these bottles of wine are at least 1/3 and almost 1/4 of the sale price at "Swirl!" The other fact that you will most likely find odd is that "Swirl (a wine bistro)" has absolutely NO SOMMELIER!! Not even anyone training for the part or pretending to know the part. When you ask for wine "pairings" or even recommendations, you will find that the owner has absolutely NO official wine knowledge but he is an aspiring salesman. He will push right past the less expensive choices and right into those choices that push your bill AND his profit margin as high as he can persuade you to spend. So, overall, atmosphere (1- plastic seat covered chairs and tacky tablecloths coupled with horrible music and food scattered place settings and silverware) poor. Wine selection/pricing/knowledgeable staff (1- wines are way overpriced, selection is poorly chosen from clearance wines, and there is not a soul there who knows anything formal about wine, pairings, notes, grapes used, regional characteristics, harvesting and processing, or any type of information which a sommelier could offer at the drop of a hat!!) Food/service/pricing (1- the food was inedible, the "staff" which I believe was the family of the ow rr and he himself as well, were rude, pretentious [without cause or reason], entirely too unprofessional [telling us stories about health conditions of the owner, etc] and too friendly, to the point of wondering if any of it was genuine, and this "slop" that we were served as well as the bottle of wine we were pressed to try with the "slop" was not a good pairing and when I looked into it at my wine retailer it was 11/2 or a 150% mark up!! I challenge ANYONE to get decent wine advice, edible food, and/ or an actually clean table and settings at this establishment. There will never be a second trial of this "dump" and I would wholeheartedly NOT recommend you to waste your time, money, or appetite on this place. I give it one star, really only because there is no 1/2 a star or no star options available!! We spent almost $200 and that was with a cheap gratuity for cheap half rate service. I would rather eat at someplace boring like The Olive Garden than to waste time, hunger, or money at this dump!! No good at all!!

Great local wine bar. The food is incredible and they have an impressive wine selection. I tried the beef tartar and goat cheese flatbread, both were great. I stopped in on a night they happened to have a pre-scheduled wine dinner taking place and appreciate that they were still able to accommodate my friend and me!

What a lovely experience. Food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. Food was cooked to perfection with a bounty full of flavors. Everyone was attentive and did not rush our party. The perfect spot for a leisurely, high-quality meal.

This restaurant is super cozy and cute. Rotating art from wonderful artists but it is the chef that is the true artist! Her dishes are magic one after the next. The charcuterie and cheese plate had incredible options and was so thoughtfully put together. The mushroom risotto mmm mm, so so good. The pork belly and duck were easily some of top 5 I’ve ever had. Michael the husband and part owner with the wonderful chef waited on us. He was so lovely and coursed us out perfectly making for such a wonderful experience and evening. Talk about dynamic duo! This restaurant slid into one of my top three restaurants in all of Florida hands down.

This is what you call “An Experience”!!!! I was invited to a wine tasting and could not resist ordering from the menu. The Lobster Mac & Cheese is incredible. Sitting next to people you have never met and engaging in meaningful conversation was absolutely amazing. This is the vibe this amazing place creates. Everyone needs to make a it a priority to come here.

Incredible food and service! We ordered a variety of items on the menu and all of it was good. It was hard to pick just one item that stood out amongst the rest. Save room for dessert and order the bread pudding. Thank me later.

Absolutely horrible. food was poor quality service was over 45 minutes to get appetizers. 2 and a 1/2 hours to get dinner. No one came over to discuss or explain or apologize for terrible delays and offered no consideration or apology for terrible experience. Ignored throughout the time there and then staff pretended it didn’t occur. Spend your money and time elsewhere.

The hubs and I stopped in for some drinks and we were welcomed with such warmth, knowledge, and hospitality from Mike, one of the owners. He chose perfect wines for us, and after seeing the diverse and enticing menu, we can't wait to come back for an exceptional dinner. What a unique find!
