   Nice atmosphere, good food and good service. The outdoor and rooftop seating areas are great options and we'll definitely go back!

   Very disappointed in SWAY westlake. We went to the original location on south 1st awhile back and was SO impressed with the food that we decided to go back but to the new location in Westlake and was highly disappointed in the food. For one, the prices have gone up (just like everywhere after Covid) but the portions (which they say is sharing portions) is not sharing portions. We ordered calamari for an appetizer and let me tell you, the size of the calamari were baby size (size of a dime?) and not y our usual size calamari to share with 4 people. Then we ordered the entrees which were not that great, except the fried fish which was $120! We were very disappointed in the food, it was not the same. After receiving the bill of $400+ we were charged a "employee fund of 4%" that was snuck in there. If you don't pay attention to the bill you are paying a 4% charge on top of the total amount plus of course tip. We asked what this was and the waitress said it was for benefits and something else. We paid it plus the gratuity. Will not be going back.

   The last few years Sway has gone down in quality and experience. The menu is more limited, and the food is not as good as it used to be. Although some dishes are still outstanding (son-in-law, for example), this visit saw quite a few fluctuations in execution. For starters, the spring roll wrappers were very tough and chewy. The noodle dish had great flavor and lots of yummy pork belly, but almost no noodles. The jungle curry was crazy hot and flavorful as always, but there was actually too much meat where it unbalanced the dish, and it was not very tender. The room ambience is cool and trendy. The service is ok but average. I'd love to see them amp up their game and get back to experience we used to have there in the earlier days.

   We had a wonderful evening at Sway! We sat on the rooftop. It was a great vibe and the view was awesome. The service, food and drinks were fantastic! I would highly recommend Sway and especially their happy hour menu.

   Amazing Thai food and ambiance. However extremely expensive for Asian Cuisine but worth it since it's the only good one around in Texas.

    Best Thai food in the city with an upscale dining experience. Some of the dishes are super hot so the cocktails go down fast. I had the oysters, shu mai, and pork shoulder. Perfection.

    🧂 SALT 🧂 is all I have to say. The curry ( everyone in the party each had a different one and I can confidently say this about all of them). The curry is SO SALTY it is impossible to eat and enjoy. PLEASE lay off the salt or fish sauce or whatever you use. It is way way too overpowering. Even the peanut curry which is usually the least salty type of curry. I could only eat the chicken and the rice it came with. Absolutely horrible

    Sway is one of my favorite restaurants. We had not been in years. The amount of flavor in every dish is crazy! Love the son-in-law, tiger cry, jungle curry, Tom Khai soup and the lemon coconut sorbet!

    Great interior - fits the cuisine. Interesting table layout. I would recommend sitting a group over 5 people in the main dining area. Maybe they have more traditional sized tables upstairs? Cool city light views in the distance from up there. Highly recommend the chicken fried rice and the cocktails are fun.

    Get the moo-sway and thank me later. You may be tempted to get 3-4 dishes and mix it up, but the moo-sway (hidden bottom of menu) is the god-level lettuce wraps. Start with those and if you’re still hungry, get something else. 45 bucks and easily feeds 2, and likely 3 people to more-than-full. Other than that, blue crab rice is incredible. Cocktails can be hit or miss

    My girlfriend and I went here for our 1 year anniversary and had the worst dining experience to date. It took our server 15 minutes to greet us and it took another 15 minutes to receive our drinks. In a matter of 50 minutes our server only spoke to us once to grab our drink order and we were never able to put food in. We left after the 50 minute mark and just left cash to pay for the drinks. First and hopefully the last time I’ll ever have to walk out of a dinner.

    We love Sway, the food is incredible and the rooftop views are the best in town. It was chilly that night though and the heaters did not do a great job of keeping us warm. Also one of their tarps on the rooftop was broken so it was extra chilly!

    Food was great as always. We sat indoors and it was pretty smoky from the kitchen. We all noticed it when we sat down and all of our clothes & hair smelled of smoke by the time we left and got home. Service was good, was difficult to hear each other but that’s to be expected given the large tables.

    Food had great flavor, but it was too sweet. We prefer a more authentic flavor profile as well as the health benefits of less sugar. Question: do you use palm sugar instead of cane sugar ?

    Food was way overpriced for the portion size. We had a tab of $225 for 3 people, one drink each. We love bouguie dinners, but the whole experience didn’t have us walking away feeling like we got what we paid for.
