    Met some friends for lunch on a busy afternoon. The food was terrific. I shared a seasonal pizza (butternut squash), and a simple green salad with chicken tenders. It was all very tasty. I topped it off with a Chai Caramel Cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Mmmm mmm good. The patio dining was fun and atmospheric. Our wait staff was very attentive and friendly. I will probably put this one on my short list for a fun afternoon, evening or anytime foodie fun place.

    We had a great experience tonight. We had somebody celebrating their birthday and they made it very special with complementary champagne, toast, a birthday card and even a special birthday menu. I would highly recommend on Swan for a romantic and comfortable ambience.

    We had a fabulous evening and Ronnie was a great server. The only bit of feedback we have is when you have a band playing very loudly next door, you should turn off the resteraunt music because they compete with each other and you can not enjoy music from either side. Other than that, we had an amazing meal at a place with a great overall vibe. Will definitely be back!!!
