We sat outdoors and were comfortable, the food was prompt, and tasty! My biggest feedback is solely on the waiters dryness, you can tell he takes no delight in his job. He was unpleasant and cold. I’ve waited to eat here for a while and feel let down. If you charge over $30 for a burger and fries, you need to have service to match.

Nice atmosphere. I ordered the fei mussels. Provided mainly shells without any mussels within. Nearly any pasta on platter. the service of the servers are great excellent atmosphere but should have provided better food preparation. Food was good but not as expected.

Perfect anytime spot. Iceberg lettuce wedge right on! Brussel Sprouts a must have. Short Rib is a killer, Mussels and Mousse. Will definitely be back.

Burger was good but not amazing. Short rib su louvre was good but fries were t the best side for the dish. The lobster orzo was surprisingly underseasoned. Our server was super friendly.

This place is astoundingly good from top to bottom. The hostess Carla was amazing. Our server was next level. The clams casino is one of the best dishes I’ve had in my twenty years in New York hands down. Don’t sleep on the prawns or the lobster orzo. My only complaint possible is the portions are a little small but GOD DANG are they delicious. The burger is very tasty but maybe not worth the price but everything else is truly unfathomably scrumptious. Been here twice now. Plan on being back as much as my wallet can handle it.

Loved sitting outside with our dog on a summer evening and feasting on their creamy lobster orzo with big chunks of lobster, their Greek salad with toasted pita which actually is the best Greek salad I’ve had (our waiter Misha was right), and the decadent two-patty burger, oozing with a little too much thousand-island sauce, but it was still great. I think I like Swoony’s more than their sister restaurant Cafe Spaghetti, believe it or not! Every dish is a tad unique.

5 stars!!!

Have lived in Bk heights for a few years now and ashamed I have only just discovered them. The food is delicious, the vibes are right and overall a wonderful experience. Only down side, which wasn’t really a big deal, was service was slow getting our wine and taking our food order. Granted it was a Monday night and they did seem slammed so I understand if things fell through the cracks! Keep it up, will be coming back again and again!

Came here by the recommendation to try their Swoony's Burger, and unfortunately wasn't impressed or satisfied. While the portion was quite generous, the burger itself seemed bland and dry. The service was good and pleasant though: we had a birthday in our party, and the waitress was kind to bring the complimentary soft serve. Maybe will consider coming to try other menu positions, but not in the foreseeable future.

Everything was splendid! We did a reservation for 2 near closing and did not feel rushed at all. We got potato croquette, kale salad, whipped goat cheese, and the double patty burger. Not usually a croquette fan but it was so gooey filled with cheese; the lemon adds a nice touch to the fried bite. The whipped goat cheese was light, sweet, and savory— the sesame(?) on top added a delightful crunch. The double patty burger was melt-in-your-mouth good, the bun was a soft pillow that acted like the perfect vessel. + the thin crispy fries = the best. Would definitely come back here again.
