We sat in an almost empty restaurant for 15 minutes before getting a drink order in. 12 minutes later we got our first beverage. It was not great. They tried to rush us even though the place was empty. The PEI oysters were fantastic. We moved to wine The yellow curry PEI muscles

Hello Jeff! While I'm glad you liked the food, I'm sorry to hear about the rest of your experience! Thank you for the review and the chance to focus on what could be better. I'm seeing that your cocktail was the Monk Water. Do you mind sharing with us what you weren't a fan of? Next time you visit, I'd love to send you a drink I think you would love on me coupled with the service that meets the standards we set for our crew. Just make sure to mention me when you make a reservation or arrive, and we'll get that taken care of. Thank you again, Nick Cvercko - Assistant General Manager

We went for happy hour. Its a good way to try some smaller dishes and try some coctails. The happy hour food menu is very limited. We've ate here before so I have a better sense of the broader food menu selections. My wife enjoyed the coctails. The bartender was great.

The panang curry was too salty. The short rib came in small pieces that felt more like cheap cuts of meat, definitely not worth the $30 price tag.
Sway Thai - AustinResponded on May 21, 2025
Hello, Sam. I'm sorry your Panang Curry didn't hit the spot. Would you mind taking me through where our service missed the mark as well? We love to take such an opportunity to tighten up where we need to. Also, if you like, we'd love to get you back in to buy you a dish or two that we think you would love coupled with the kind of service that lives up to the standards we set for our crew. If you'd like to take us up on this, please drop my name when making your next reservation. Thanks again, Nick Cvercko - Assistant General Manager
