    For a special night out it's awesome. Make a early reservation so you can get the spinning rooms. The view is spectacular, the service is great and the food is the best I've ever had. Highly recommend.. it is pricey but so worth it...

    Food and restaurant service were fantastic. Only glitch was failure to place delivered flowers on table. Was celebrating 30th wedding anniversary and a friend had an arrangement delivered earlier in the day, with our names, restaurant name and time of reservation. They went back in morning and picked up flowers. Otherwise great experience.

    Amazing service by Peter. Beautiful dinning room and view of the city and river. The food was a complete let down. Steak was boring and bland, tried the 25 sauce to help it, but it’s basically watered down A1. Wedge salad had some pink dressing that was zesty but they insisted it was blue cheese. There were maybe 4 blue cheese crumbles in the whole salad, none in the dressing. Haricot verts were bland. The Chilean Sea Bass was juicy and well cooked, but the squash accompaniment was not enjoyable. Best part was the duck fat crushed potatoes. Wish the food fit the wonderful service and ambiance.

    Our reservation was at 7:00. We arrived at 6:45 and waited at the bar. Finally at 7:30, we asked when our table would be ready and then we were seated. It took awhile for server to come to our table. Service was very poor. Everything was extremely slow. Steak was overcooked. Not a good experience at all. Prior to this visit, we have always loved Swizzle and the service has always been excellent. We probably won't be back. This is too much money to not receive excellent service.

    Overpriced for the quality of the food and service given. Steaks were dry and lacking flavor. A $16 up charge to add chicken to a Caesar salad. Service lacking the quality one would expect for the cost of the food.

    We enjoyed a delicious meal that wasn't a meal at all! Instead of traditional entrees, we opted for appetizers and sides that peaked our interest and shared the food. We had the heirloom tomato salad, wild mushrooms with balsamic dressing, sukatash, duck fat crushed potatoes, grilled bacon with habanero jam and cold water lobster tail. Our favorite dishes were the sukatash and bacon, but everything was really good. Surprisingly, our least favorite dish was the lobster tail. The ambiance was romantic for us and even included a fireworks show from the KFC Yum Center direction. Perfect since we were celebrating my husband's birthday! The rotating dining room was a really cool experience. We would definitely go back and being friends.

    I visited Swizzle on a Monday evening for a business dinner. Swizzle's unique rooftop layout with a rotating dining floor created design challenges. Exiting the elevators on the 25th floor guests arrive at the hostess stand. I did not find the hostess particularly welcoming and inviting. The hostess led me down a long hallway with tables lining windows which were opposite the kitchen opening. These seats would not be my first choice. We arrived at our table on the rotating dining floor. Our server introduced herself and seemed friendly. Her service was okay. Members of our party ordered steak which was prepared as ordered and tasted fine. We enjoyed the pork bacon. This was my absolute favorite item during our dinner. The overall mood of the restaurant was subdued and lacking energy. It was Monday so maybe that played a part. With so many excellent options in our town, I do not know if I would return.

    the experience was fine but our room was broken and did not spin therefore taking away from the experience. we were one of about 3 tables in that room and it seemed as if our waiter forgot about us for part of the night. the food was ok but i wouldn’t say it was worth it for the price. The drinks were the best part but i feel like the experience lacked and the food was just ok

    We choose Swizzle for the view. The rotating dining rooms. No one EVER mentioned that one of the rooms did not rotate. Huge disappointment. Cannot for the life of me understand why that wasn't explained prior to seating or when we made reservations. I have several reviews about the overall disappointment of the hotel stay and the dysfunctional restaurant.

    The location has lovely views & nice ambience, but delivered a lackluster experience. They were very busy when we arrived and asked us to wait at the bar. no problem, happy to enjoy a beverage and take in the vibe of the place. We waited for over 20 minutes seated at the bar. Bartender looked stressed, never said hello. Another server came and also looked very stressed. restaurant was busy but not over crowded. I asked the new server for a glass of water and a menu, she said she could get the water but we would have to wait for the bartender. Well still no hello or even a nod from him. Table is ready so we move on over to the dinning room. Server was pleasant. They have a lineup of several tantalizing whiskey barrel tastings, but when we (and the table next to us) tried to order them they are out. Which is disappointing. They have other standard tastings on the menu, but not as interesting. If you are out of the main lineup, perhaps remove that from the menu or have the staff tell people its no longer available immediately. The service was extremely slow and the recommendations from our server were not impressive. He recommended the gnocchi appetizer and crab cakes. The gnocchi was not at all what we expected and tasted more like a potato and squash wok stir fry with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce. So we opted to wait to eat it until our steaks arrived and have that as a side dish. The crab cakes were ok, smothered in creamy sauce. Lots of crab but not really that flavorful. Ordered the rib eye and the filet. Both were completely undercooked and not even served very hot. They must have been sitting around for a long while before they were brought to the table. Which you would then expect to have some "juices" on the plate but there were none. The garnish was a roasted garlic clove, but no bread or anything to put the garlic on. The prices are very high for this low quality and slow service. I would not return to this location, cant even get a drink at the bar.

    Picked Swizzle for a celebratory birthday dinner however would not recommend. Cocktails were very slow to arrive and wine had to be requested multiple time. Our server was missing most of the evening as he hardly checked on us throughout the meal. We both ordered the 8oz filet and it was perfectly cooked and was delicious with the black truffle butter. Duck confit potatoes had sizable amounts of black pepper which made them too spicy for us but others may enjoy.

    Food and drinks were delicious and the view was wonderful. Had and recommend smoked old fashion and float like a butterfly (lavender, lemon, vodka) drinks, crab cakes, chopped salad (marinated white beans!), salmon (brown sauce & risotto!), orrichiette pasta (mixed side order of wild mushrooms in!), and chocolate cake.

    We came for an anniversary dinner. The hostess was professional but somber. She sat us in the rotation section near the window, which was very nice. The waiter was friendly and offered good suggestions. The Old Fashioned in a smoke box was great. The calamari was very good. The crab legs were good but came to the table a bit cooler than I would expect for a $45 appetizer. The ribeye and pork chop were both tasty and tender and well cooked. The side order of duck fat potatoes were tasty but were cut into small dices and would have been better if left larger and allowed longer to crisp up. They gave us free dessert since it was our anniversary. The strawberry shortcake was very good and the chocolate cake slice was decadent, rich and enormous. I would come back for a special occassion, mostly due to the cost. Our meal for two drinks, two appetizers, and two entrees came to $300 with tip.
