    It was really good until the main course. Slightly underwhelming… venison was not super flavorful. It needed salt and pepper.

    Thanksgiving at Jessica’s at Swift House is very special! Everything was amazing from the service to fabulous food and wine recommendations. They also accommodated a change in reservation time because of inclement weather.

So so good. Every time there is availability at the hotel we look forward to stay there. My daughter just said. I love coming here us so cozy and it feels like home.

    Such a warm welcome as we arrived, a very knowledgeable team, excellent cocktails in the bar before dinner, a well-versed sommelier, & a DELICIOUS menu. As a party of five, We had the duck, scallops, mussels, soups and salads, all of which we enjoyed greatly. The STICKY TOFFEE pudding was one of the very best any of us had ever had…x The fire was roaring, the ambience invited us to linger. Thank you Team Jessica for a fabulous evening.

    The two of us had amazing meals! The tuna special was spectacular. Our server - and all the staff - were delightful, offering just the right amount of attention without being annoying. It feels like being in a cozy, comfortable home with inspired and outstanding food!
