About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Fancy
  • Neighborhood gem
The Golden Swan is a neighborhood French tavern that occupies a historic West Village townhouse. The concept was inspired by an iconic New York restaurant of the same name that served as a den for artists and thieves in the 1900s. Chef Brixton's menu is rooted in sourcing, ensuring that every single ingredient that is served comes from the best possible place and is of the highest quality. Guests can casually walk into the first floor bar room, known as The Wallace Room, for the acclaimed Brixton Burger or find their way upstairs to The Dining Room for a more elevated experience with dishes served tableside like Dover Sole with Sauce Meuniere and Côte de Boeuf with bordelaise jus as well as signature dishes like Branzino en Papillote and Crescent Duck. No matter where you enjoy your meal, ingredient-forward drinks that harken back to the golden age of cocktails flow endlessly, evoking a sense of revelry that pays tribute to the concept's history.

    Loved our dinner for two at the Golden Swan. James was fantastic. Really upbeat and engaging. Made the night. Food is special and priced as such for sure. Downstairs French bistro vibe, upstairs white tablecloth with banquette seating. Will definitely be back.

    Delicious food in such a beautiful, romantic setting. The upstairs dining room is so intimate and lovely. Great attentive but non-intrusive service. Really as close to a perfect dining experience as you can get.

    We had a great time downstairs with a super entertaining waiter. I will say, we were a little bummed because we thought we had booked upstairs. Overall though, great night as always at the Swan.
