Swift & Sons fully delivers on an upscale dining experience. The decor of the restaurant sets the tone of the evening. The welcoming and attentive staff pilot you through the dining experience ensuring that you are left feeling as if you are a regular at a familiar place. The food is top notch with only the highest quality utilized and then cooked to perfection. Without question, one of the best steaks in Chicago!

My husband celebrated his 30th bday with all our friends and he LOVED IT! They printed his name and Happy Birthday on the menu, and even gave him a signed card from the staff along with some very yummy cake truffles. Service was excellent as well as the food!
Max
Service was incredible! I mentioned our anniversary once in the reservation, and every person wished us happy anniversary, signed a card, printed it on our menus, and wrote it on our dessert. Classy move.

I don't know where to start. We were celebrating both a birthday and an anniversary and the restaurant contacted me to find out how many years and who. When we arrived we were greeted with happy anniversary and birthday wishes by the front desk. Every single service person we were in contact with was excellent. On our menu was headed Happy 7th Anniversary and was a take home memory. My partner had a mushroom Wellington which was both novel and delicious. I had a filet mignon. There are steaks and there are fabulous steaks. This was in the second category. We were very impressed to see that all of the sides pretty much and appetizers could be in either half portion or full. Perfect for us. The vibe is very cool but you can hear. Love this place we will be back.

Beautiful dining room with great service and a tasty cocktails. Unfortunately, the food execution was inconsistent. First course: soup arrived cold, and the salad was served with croutons even after requesting no croutons due to allergies. For the main course, she ordered the filet and I had the surf and turf. I chose it specifically for the ribeye cap (a cut that can be incredible when done right), but it was served cold and overly fatty, which was disappointing. On a positive note, dessert was excellent (cheesecake and sorbet), and the coffee was great as well. Overall: great atmosphere and staff, but the kitchen needs help.

The stars of Swift and Son are the meat and service. Both are truly outstanding. That being said, there are a few things that stop the entire experience from being 5 stars. Specifically, the vegetables are fine but nothing really special (and we tried 4 different options). Lastly, during the week, the restaurant seems to attract a number of business people in parties of 6+ that get a little loud. Although the volume is 100% not the restaurant's fault, it is something to be aware of. Overall, Swift &Sons is a very worthy addition to the steakhouse scene with just a few minor things to be aware of.

I want to thank the entire team for really making my son's birthday dinner so great! He was so happy and I'm never disappointed with the level of service I always get here.

I had a lovely meal, it was very busy but from the start I was greeted by several people so friendly, my server was the best so nice and helpful. The food was amazing everything we had was amazing it has one of the better menus I have seen so many options. I will definitely come back wonderful dinner .

This was my second visit in a little over a year. The food was still excellent and the service was top notch! You must try the double stuffed potato. It is out of this world. The steak was so tender I put in little effort to cut it.

Delicious food and drinks, lovely experience and the staff were very attentive to the fact that we were celebrating our anniversary.
Swift & Son's service is always top notch. They do an excellent job recognizing birthdays as well. When it was mine, multiple members of the staff personally wished me happy birthday, they shared a hand-written note their team had all signed and topped it off with a small treat and candle at the end of dinner. I will also share that while this place may not seem like an ideal spot for children, they have always been super great with our toddler - giving her little treats and extra attention whenever she joins us for dinner. Once my three-year-old asked the server for a ring (no reason... she was just being three) and their staff made her one out of supplies they had in the back office. We were impressed to say the least. Good food, great drinks, impeccable service... every time! I never write reviews but felt I had to after multiple positive experiences there.

Everything about our visit was perfect! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary feel special. They even surprised us with a personalized anniversary menu. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!

The food was great and consistent from previous visits. We were a family of 4. The server was great at the start and very friendly and knowledgeable and attentive. However once we placed our order all service stopped. I don't blame the server as it got busy and I believe they were understaffed. I was at a chain restaurant the night before and the service I received there was as above and beyond what I experienced tonight. Our entire bill for food including tip at this chain restaurant was below what I was expected just to tip here at Swift. We came here to celebrate a special anniversary and were extremely disappointed at how we were neglected. We ordered 4 appetizers, the ribeye steak, 2 sides, 3 alcoholic drinks, 2 NA drinks, 2 lemonades and 2 pops. Was planning to order to desserts but could not get anyone to get us a dessert menu and decided to call it a night.

Swift & Sons delivers a refined dining experience with delicious food, excellent service, and a warm welcome from the moment you walk in. The hostess greeted us with a friendly smile, setting the tone for a great evening. We started with a fresh Caesar salad and a vibrant tuna crudo—both beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The steak was cooked perfectly to the temperature requested, showcasing the kitchen's precision and consistency. Cocktails were another highlight, well-crafted and balanced, complementing the meal without overpowering it. Service throughout the night was attentive and professional, matching the atmosphere you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The only area that fell short was the booth seating. Even though we were among the first guests as the restaurant opened, there were crumbs left on the seats. For a place as elevated as Swift & Sons, attention to these small details is important and should be addressed after each seating.

We came here for our anniversary and they were top notch. They printed out menus with Happy Anniversary and made a card and signed it. I could give more star I would. Drinks were fabulous. We got the pierogi and the rock shrimp. The pierogi we as good as my Grandma's the rock shrimp were a sweet ansspicy explosion on the tongue. The steaks we perfectly chard on the outside and a perfect medium on the inside. When I say I have a slight obsession with creamed spinach that would be an understatement and theirs did not disappoint. Will be back and recommend this place.
