    Food was fantastic. Cocktails were tasty but not very cold. Our server Eli was very friendly and great sense of humor. Sweetwater Chophouse is a great place to eat. Reservations are almost a necessity. The Open Table app is very simple to use and will make your experience much more enjoyable.

    Nice setting for a restaurant. Beautiful view. Friendly staff. Nice salad bar. Fresh and clean. Food is good, not great. They try for a unique menu, but fall slightly short. Ordered a medium rare Filet Mingon but got a medium. I stated I didn’t want it as it was overdone. They offered another one, but I didn’t want to try another, so they took it off my bill. Would definitely go back.

    Went midweek in the evening and it was peaceful! Environment was wonderful. Staff was friendly and attentive. It’s attached to a place called The Compound where there’s a tavern, golf club, and brewery attached. Awesome place. Highly recommend for a date night for something delicious and relaxing.

    Went 2 nights in a row - wagyu sirloin the first - too rare for me and not a lot of flavor. Had the Mustard crusted salmon the second which was delish - highly recommend. Salad bar is nice and kept clean. Ordered a martini - it was warm, not chilled at all. My sister in law said the mushroom risotto was amazing.
