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.

Traditional American steakhouse. The salad was not terribly inspired, but some of the small bites and the steak were excellent.

I had high expectations for Swift & Sons given all the hype, but my experience fell short. The steak — which should be the star of the show — came out burnt and overcooked, which really took away from what could have been a great meal. Service was also disappointingly slow; it felt like we were waiting far too long between courses and drink refills.
We sat on the patio, and the tables felt cheap and out of place for a restaurant that markets itself as upscale. For the price point, I expected a much better overall experience. There are definitely a lot better steakhouses in Chicago that deliver both in food quality and service

I hadn't been back in a couple of years and decided to pop in for some quick takeaway two weeks ago. It was so bad that I had to write a review. We ordered two burgers to go and I dont like far so whilst the food was still hot when we got home, it was absolutely disappointing. I ordered a medium rare and my partner a medium burger. Both were well past dead, resuscitated and then battered to death yet again. The burger was dry, tasteless and the aioli we were given was barely a teaspoon in each 2 oz soufflé cup. Terrible food, however, honourable mention: The host was lovely, he kept us engaged and entertained as we waited for our food,, but the food, truly terrible!

We celebrated our son's birthday at Swift & Sons, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The team went above and beyond with a personalized menu that made the evening feel so special. The service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and thoughtful without being intrusive. The food was phenomenal, especially the Beef Wellington, which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. Swift & Sons made our celebration truly memorable, and we can't recommend them highly enough for any special occasion—or just a wonderful night out.

The steaks here are always good, but I really love all the options that can be added, like the blue cheese crust and oxtail marmalade. My other favorite thing this restaurant offers is the dessert cart.
Eugene
The food at Swift and Sons was outstanding. We had the Wagyu sampler and 2 lobsters as an accompaniment. The appetizers were delicious as well as the old-fashioned. The service we received was top shelf. This is not a value restaurant. It is fine dining so be prepared.

Service was excellent and the portion size for the food were in line. Everything was tasty and we will be back.

Excellent service, attention to detail towards my partner birthday from the greetings, to the menu to the special signed card. He was extremely moved. The staff was great at our table.
Attentive service and delicious food in an exciting atmosphere. We had a Wednesday night reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant was alive with activity! The mobile bar and magician were out and about! We requested wine parings with each course and were not disappointed. The bread and Heirloom Tomato Salad were incredible! The Halibut and Risotto dishes were fabulous as well! Thank you for a wonderful anniversary experience!

A truly exceptional dining experience from beginning to end. The atmosphere is elegant and vibrant with a classic Chicago steakhouse feel. The service was outstanding attentive without being intrusive and every detail was handled perfectly. We ordered steak and seafood both cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The cocktails and desserts were just as impressive. It was my wife’s birthday and the staff made the night unforgettable with their kindness and attention. A perfect place for a special evening in Chicago.

DON’T SLEEP ON THE BREAD. When I tell you the bread was amazing, I’m not overselling. It was so yummy, the heirloom tomato salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. The steaks were really good, but they weren’t the high point of the evening for sure.
There are better steaks in Chicago, but I’d go back for the bread alone.

We utilized one of the private rooms for my husband’s 40th. The planning process was so smooth and Leslie was wonderful to work with. The restaurant is beautiful, the dinner was exceptional and the service went above and beyond. I would host another event there in a heartbeat. I’m so grateful to the whole staff for a wonderful, memorable experience.
