Sprawling steakhouse with a bi-level bar. Swanky, sprawling spot featuring premium steaks & seafood, plus a bi-level bar & house concierge.
Steak is the star at this restaurant but the sides were amazing and I honestly loved every cocktail our group got! We even brought a 7 week old and they were very accommodating, bringing a cup of hot water to warm our bottle and having a changing table in one of the restroom stalls near the bar. The burger is HUGE. Good luck eating it unless you can unhinge your jaw. Definitely not for first dates. My friend's birthday was celebrated here appropriately! 10/10 recommend
We had a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary here! Went on a Monday afternoon (5pm); it wasn't crowded when we arrived but more guests came in over time. Noise level was still fine though as we could hear each other talk without an issue. We were seated in a booth which was lovely. Loved the food; no complaints! Loved the service too. They gave us a couple complimentary chocolates for our anniversary, which was so sweet. Lastly, I must rave about the salmon! I'm not even big on fish/seafood but I really loved their salmon dish that came with roasted blueberries (something I'd never think to pair). I would definitely come back!
Outstanding service, phenomenal food. The steaks are truly perfect. The drink cart and dessert cart are a fun touch. Not rushed at all. The only negative surprise: they jumped on the bandwagon of adding a 3% benefit charge, which seems tacky at a high-end restaurant. If your costs are escalating, just raise your prices... bury it... customers will never notice. Overall... truly a phenomenal experience.
If you're lucky enough to score Scottie for your night out, you're set. Scottie found a way to take an already excellent meal and make it phenomenal. Let's start with our meal. We each got a half salad which was plenty to start. Each of our steaks were perfectly cooked. The sides were to die for and the wine was amazing. For dessert we sampled from the dessert trolley and tried out the deep dish chocolate chip cookie. Scottie made sure our meal was smooth, perfectly paced and our glasses were never empty. He answered all our menu questions and more importantly, made the meal so relaxing and enjoyable. We've dined at many Chicago steakhouses but the food and the service at Swift really does set them apart. The prices are right on par with what you'd expect from a great steakhouse and 100% worth every single penny. We'll be back happily.
Came here with extremely high expectations. Excellent dining experience. It lost one star because we ordered the beef Wellington. It in general is very good. But the crust was a bit burnt and we can taste bitterness out of it. Another thing is that the appetizers are just mediocre. Dessert was good.
Came with a friend right after work and had a wonderful meal! He ordered the cold seafood platter and loved it, and I had the 8oz filet. We also had the mushroom side and the loaded potato side, which were both delicious. We shared the sides and there was more than enough, plenty of leftovers. Prices are expected for a steakhouse in this area. Added points for them having a non-alcoholic beer option.
Great spot for a classic steakhouse experience. The restaurant was a little loud from all the people in there but the food was spot on and delicious! The servers were really friendly and knowledgeable about all the menu items, but they appeared to be pulled a bit thin so they were more rushed than usual. Hopefully they are able to get more staff as the overall experience was fantastic.
One of my best dinner experiences in Chicago. From the bar to the seating area. Benjamin was amazing and courteous. One of the best servers. His recommendations were really great. The area where I sat was perfect for dinner. Not too loud. And at the end of the night it quiets down
