    The service was spot on, the food and drinks delicious. As a bonus, there was a Sunday happy hour with 1/2 off appetizers, PLUS the birthday girl got a free dessert. Perfection.

    Always a great experience! Food & service were excellent. A few gnats were flying around our table which was a little annoying.

    Business meal occasion with a great end of week meal selection. Based in Denver, CO, and after many days on the road, the Sweetwater Chophouse continues to deliver on a delicious menu. The braised short rib was a delight for my colleague and the Maple Leaf Farms duck was absolutely a treat for myself. Good to know having great food being far away from home! Thank you! Highly recommended for any and all newcomers, the Chophouse will not disappoint.

    I've eaten here many times and have thoroughly enjoyed everything I've ordered. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. They serve the best Crab and Lobster Bisque that I've ever had, and it is consistently perfect time after time.

    Service was great. My client started choking on a piece of food and while I was administering the Heimlich, staff was coming over with a device to assist within 20 seconds of the start of the incident. Thankfully, we did not need to use it but the fact the staff was trained and prepared for the situation was very encouraging.

    We had a very nice experience at Sweetwater. Our waitress, Mandy, was one of the best we have ever had. She was so friendly and very accommodating to our table.

    I ordered a medium well steak, was very well done and very chewy. Potatoes were very thick and starchy...hard to swallow.
