    Cocktails and food are getting even better at Sway! The frozen pineapple cocktail was the best frozen drink we’ve ever had and the grilled bok choy was perfectly executed. Only complaint is communal tables with loud children and the never available rooftop.

    The food is great. The OpenTable app crashes if I attempt to say more.

    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
