Our daughter has Celiac Disease and Chef Adrian went above-and-beyond to meet with us and provide us with safe, absolutely delicious food. Chef Adrian prepared a dish-- the "Coriander Roasted Local Grouper"-- that was absolutely delicious. Aside from dinner, we also had breakfast at the restaurant and received the same level of attention and safety from Chef Adrian and staff.

The service was superb. Staff was terrific. The food was good. The bibimbap was excellent. Not being familiar with the restaurant, it was a bit confusing to find it (second floor in the ICEPLEX next to the concession area). We didn't detect any signs. Otherwise, it is a cool place.

This was our second time visiting Swizzle. Both times have been good fun. Rum-based drink menu with good variety and the drinks are strong and very tasty. We had the Swizzle tray on the food side. It was very good. I will say limiting happy hour to people sitting at the [small] bar is kinda wrong.
