This place was amazing. I'm giving the food a 4.5 out 5 only because I wish the scallops were done calabash style. I love the softer breading on the seafood as opposed to panko. I also really wished Swains would sell the raspberry pepper jam in a jar. We sat in the bar area the first night we went and it got quite loud. Sqains needs to put up some acoustic tiles to dampen the sound. But overall a wonderful experience and excellent food and service.

The meals are very well seasoned, prepared and cooked. I have the tendency to skip over steak menu items when I visit Swain's because I'm there for the seafood. On this occasion, my wife ordered the NY Strip and gave me a couple of bites. I'm telling you, I know what I'm getting the next time I visit Swain's, the NY Strip! My goodness that was one fine tasting steak. I tried the Cajun scallops on this visit and they were delicious. I've had the Mermaid Delight on previous visits and that is a wonderful dish too. Whether you're vacationing or a local resident, you really should give Swain's a try.

Lots of food for the cost. Only complaint...breading is too thick and taste very bland. Apps and desserts are the best.

Oh my goodness this place is AMAZING. I was already craving to go back the next day. I had the stuffed flounder and if I lived there and could afford it I would go there all the time lol. Everyone loved their meals. The chips with ranch were so good our table ate like 4 bowls. We will definitely be back.
