About Swift's Attic

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, short rib, and curry chicken. 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 that can feed two people, making for a generous and satisfying meal. The chicken thigh entree is especially recommended, and the Edamame is unique and tasty.

Customers appreciate the unique atmosphere, describing it as many galaxies away from a chain restaurant, with soft lighting and dark moody vibes. The staff provides attentive service, with some servers giving helpful recommendations, contributing to a warm and welcoming environment. While the ambiance can be improved with better music, overall, the dining experience is exceptional. Some recent diners noted that the restaurant is on the pricier side, with tapas-sized portions, but most of the dishes ordered were good. Highlights include the Wagyu Short Rib, Salt & Pepper Gulf Shrimp, and Popcorn Pork Cheeks, which are great starters to share. Despite minor issues, Swift's Attic remains a must-visit for high-quality food and unique drinks.
