   I like going to Sawa. The outdoors seating is very pleasant. The food is very good but not great. Don’t order desserts. They are definitely not their forte. The service was good with a friendly staff.

   It was nice. A little warm inside as the door to the patio was non stop but over all we enjoyed it. I had a lunched martini and hummus. Very tasty

   Was my anniversary, and I wanted to go to a new restaurant referred by a close friend. Waitress took 5 min to show up. Gave us the menu and disappeared for another 10 min. My husband and I got so mad and we left. FYI: was 5pm and the restaurant was empty. Disappointed.

   We went for a family brunch. It was about $300 for 5 of us - we got appetizers and champagne. Overall great experience, the food was awesome, it tasted so fresh and it was quiet so we were able to talk to each other and enjoy conversation.

   We sat outside-party of 6. The green umbrellas and the fountains and landscaping make for a lovely surrounding. The food was served efficiently and very tasty and healthy. When it started to rain, the staff quickly moved us under a large canopy umbrella with a surround lounge chair. It was fun! This is the place to come with friends and with company from out of town.

   It was my first time eating at Sawa and I was very disappointed. Two of us ordered churrasco mediumr-are and it didn't come out that way. Food didn't come out together and when my friend requested his meat be cooked medium-rare, they took it back and took over 20 minutes to bring another one out, when the rest of us had already finished eating. The also got the side wrong. Churrasco is usually a tender and tasty meat, but this one was not. It had a slimy consistency because of too much fat. I struggled to finish it. Overall the food was way overpriced for the quality and the service was not as expected. I will not go back.

    The food was tasty but the service was lacking. After they cleared our table we waited another 20 minutes to get the check. We were sat inside and it was initially empty but as more tables were sat we noticed that they're wayyyy too close together. Me and my party were literally knocked into as the tables behind us sat down. It was uncomfortably tight.

    This place was good in the past. Now understaffed, food tasted pre-cooked and kept for too long under warming lights. Dry and lacking taste. Came out immediately after ordering, though it took over 45 minutes to get our order in. Wait staff and host were scattered and left us unattended most of our time there.

    Mother’s Day dinner. Beautiful outdoor setting. Food was good, though portions modest, especially for teenagers (stopped at McDonalds on the way home). Staff was pleasant, though the wait staff was overwhelmed. Overall positive.

    The service was very awful! They took 27 minutes just to serve the water, food arrive after 33 minutes. It was a whole mess.. I don’t recommend this place at all. They are focus on the quantity instead of quality. There is a huge waiting for parking.

    The food and service was horrible. Reminds me of one of those cheap little restaurants in south beach charging a premium price for underwhelming food. They had run out of a lot of the items we picked to order. My husband ordered a beer and they brought it almost towards the end of our meal. The waiter was not very attentive and had horrible suggestions. We asked for pita bread 4 times. Finally got it after I reminded the waiter it was the 4th time I asked. I do not recommend this place. Everyone around us were complaining about their food and service.

    Everything was great about our dining experience. I asked for outdoor garden on reservation and got seated quickly when we arrived. Elaina was great about getting HH drinks in quickly. I asked her to stager the 8 appys since last time they all arrived at once. She did it perfectly and brought 3, then added one more a little later and the last four with ur next drink order. She was friendly, efficient and the guy bringing out the food as well was great too. Food awesome, drinks awesome, ambiance and friendly service. Thanks SAWA for a great night with in-laws.

    Seating at the garden seats. They are wonderful seats and location. The wait staff Douglas is great and helpful. Food is delicious but hope they have more sashimi choice on the menu. The drink menu need to be included in regular menu instead of print out. Difficult to download online menu. Overall a great place.

    I stopped coming here because the portions were so small. It was just an alternative last night. Ordered Seabass. Tasted ok, which was no taste, but I did not get sick. The piece may have been 3 ounces. I asked for spinach instead of asparagus, and the gave me, no lie, a tea spoon of spinach. The waiter should have seen it and been embarrassed. The plate was obscured by giant mushroom heads no one eats. The water was obvious tainted and unfiltered. Like a $40 hotel. Small portions of food are ok, but we had to go eat dinner at Villagio after.

    It was my 3rd time going to Sawa. This time was to celebrate my moms birthday . I had to say that the first two times I had a very pleasant experience, this time around was not the same . The service was extremely slow to say the least. I usually don’t like leaving bad reviews but this time I’m upset because it was my moms birthday and the experience was not good. Sad to say but I don’t think I’ll be going back .

    Food is good. But the chain vibe is pervasive. Sorry we can only bring one of two identical side Caesar salads because one came with entre and other is a la carte. One entre ( not tapas) came way after another. Be prepared for tapas atmosphere even if you want a salad then entre experience. Staff are too young to get the customer vs policy polarity.

    Service was miserable - they have no control over their kitchen. I was barely through an appetizer when they tried to shove a main course in my face (and then basically told me that I should accept it because they serve everything tapas style and bring it out whenever it is ready). This is absurd, particularly as they have entrees listed on the menu separate from tapas. None of the wait staff was professional, nor did anyone with experience seem to be on duty or running anything. They did nothing to make us feel welcome or address the issue noted above. Our food was just so-so. We will never go back.

    My wife was ecstatic about every aspect of the restaurant as I was. Before reserving, I had read several reviews that were not good, so I was a little worried. Service was excellent. We arrived a little early but still were quickly ushered to a table. Our server was there to take our order before we even sat down. He was very knowledgeable and even made a choice suggestion for my wife that she was delighted with. He checked on us frequently. The ambience in the outside garden are was terrific with a beautiful view of the gardens and fountain. Food was near perfect.
