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.
The food is absolutely delicious! It’s a small venue but the atmosphere is inviting and nice. Worth every penny spent!

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.

This place is so cozy and friendly. I came with a group for their wine tasting. We were taught about five wines and were presented with individual charcuterie boards. The staff really pays attention to detail. I really enjoyed my time here. I recommend to come to a tasting whether you're starting your wine journey or an expert. The Tastings include information for all levels of wine knowledge. The owner is very welcoming and extremely nice. He makes you feel right at home. The meals are exquisite. Every single thing you get is beyond expectation. They really push the boundary on taste and selection. I ordered the baked Brie as the appetizer and it blew my taste buds! And there was a truffle cheese as part of the charcuterie that I'm still thinking about the next day. The parking is free for the plaza which is a plus. I'll definitely return for more tastings.

It was wine tasting night plus charcuterie. The owner is quite knowledgeable of wines and different regions around the world. Very friendly, and more than accommodating. Def a place I will have date nights once or twice a month at.

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.

Judith is an amazing chef. We've never been disappointed. Warm and inviting. Best place for gourmet food!
Food was off the charts. Service was impeccable and the ambience makes you want to go back and make it your go to restaurant. Strongly recommend Swirl Wine Bistro.

Swirl Wine Bistro - a Caribbean fusion eatery in West Broward Parking: Easy. It is in a strip mall setting. Drinks: They call themselves a wine bistro but their wine list is not large. We tried their Jamaican sorrel. It was very watered down and filled with ice. I'd also mention that it was very expensive in our opinion - $15!! And it didn't even have alcohol in it! Food: We went mainly to try their signature dish - the Oxtail Ravioli. It was very good with lots of meat inside and perfectly seasoned. My only complaint about it is that it was a tad salty for me. Our entire party ordered it as the entree so I can't comment on other main dishes. We also had the cheese platter and wild boar flatbread for appetizers and they were both pretty good. It was great to have the wild boar as that is not common here in South Florida. All of these dishes were severely overpriced. Service: the waitress was incredibly nice and very knowledgeable - well trained for sure. The place is a a small establishment. The owners are a husband/wife couple. Both seem to be pretty unfriendly as they didn't want to come over and say hi to our table (more on that below). The food came out quickly but we were a little disappointed that it didn't come out hot as we requested. Our raviolis came out room temperature, at best. Atmosphere/vibe: in the entire restaurant, there was only one other table occupied. This was 6pm on a Saturday evening. We have been once before and no other patrons were there. Not sure how they pay the bills - maybe through the catering arm of their business?! If you are looking for anything besides an empty restaurant (which does have its positives), you may want to go elsewhere. Since the restaurant was empty, the chef/owners could have come over to say hi. It is not as if they were incredibly busy... Age group: Not very young. Can't really say as no one was really there. Return: No due to overpricing. Also due to the fact that we like to dine at places that have other people in the restaurant
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!

My husband and I were celebrating his 60th birthday at Swirl, and as usual they did not disappoint. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. We were not rushed, it's a true fine dining experience. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine and delicious food, ending with the most decadent chocolate cake you can image! Love, love Swirl Wine Bistro!

I tried to call a mid day to make a reservation. But I was told that the place Was going to be full Because of a special wednesday Dinner So you would have to come in and wait. So I did when we got there at 6 o'clock. There was not a single person there. It was 5 of us.And we all order the special. The owner Michael comes out to tell us that the steak with the lobster that they Have on special They did not have it. I took my brother and my wife for dinner that night. It turned out to be a nightmare. Not good By the way, if you want to pay $40.00 for a Mac and cheese, a couple of pieces of lobster. That's the place Is very very very expensiveOn a bottom, they ask what dishes do I recommend?I do recommend not to go there at all Terrible experience experience
