Swift's Attic is a hidden downtown gem serving exquisite dishes with attention to detail. The menu offers a range of options, including the signature Ice Ball cocktail, Bacon Apricot appetizer, Brussels sprouts, and curry chicken. Recent highlights also include Charred Edamame with Pop Rocks, lamb pops, and a variety of dishes from Chef Nay's new menu like labneh and crudite, ebi sando, and hamachi crudo. The restaurant features an impressive selection of bourbons and whiskeys. The food is consistently praised for being great and delicious, with many dishes served in tapas style, allowing for a generous and satisfying meal. The chicken thigh entree and Wagyu Short Rib are especially recommended, with the Popcorn Pork Cheeks and Salt & Pepper Gulf Shrimp being great starters to share.
Customers appreciate the unique atmosphere, describing it as many galaxies away from a chain restaurant, with soft lighting and dark moody vibes. The dining experience is both adventurous and welcoming, with each dish crafted to highlight unique flavors that are never over-seasoned. The staff provides attentive service, with many diners noting the friendly and helpful nature of the servers. While the ambiance could be improved with better music, overall, the dining experience is exceptional. Some recent diners mentioned that the restaurant is on the pricier side, but most dishes were good. Despite minor issues, Swift's Attic remains a must-visit for high-quality food and unique drinks, making it a truly memorable experience for guests. Hats off to Chef Nay Castillo and the team for their creativity and hospitality.
