   We love this place! Always consistently good food in a fun tapas way. Yet another time of us choosing Sawa to bring out of town guests :-). They enjoyed the food, outdoor atmosphere and belly dancer

   We had a table of 6 for Mother’s Day. The outdoor seating is extremely pleasant. There were many issues with the food and service though. The meat sampler entree came out first, before the tapas, then the other food slowly started to trickle out with gaps in between. The order of food, not everyone having food at the same time, plus forgotten food left people hungry and ruined the experience. Waiter took more than 6 minutes to bring ketchup and dirty dishes piled up attracting flies. The restaurant offered pita and ice cream on the house, but this was not the Mothers Day meal we were envisioning.

   Food was awful and waiter had zero knowledge of the menu. Also forgot to put in an order for someone’s meal do they just shared everyone else’s meal. No need to return.

   We regularly go to this restaurant and are returning customers. This time was a disaster. The waiter did not know the menu at all so we had to open and point to our choices. Asked for a bottle of wine and a glass of wine was delivered. At the end the bill was incorrect. Service very slow this time and it was a Thursday night. Hope it was just an off day

    Sushi rolls were excellent! Service was fairly good except server forgot one of our two appetizers and we didn’t get it until after we asked and entrees were already served. Also, half our party’s entrees were served and there was a five minute wait for the other half. Belly dancer show was very cool. Outdoor garden seating was very nice.

    The food was very good. The service was ok. The only thing that we were surprised to see was the upcharge for ordering an old fashion with a premium bourbon. We paid $22 for it which I feel is excessive. We then went across the way to Perry’s for another drink and dessert and the same old fashion was $17 and this is an expensive steak house. Just be aware.

    The food was outstanding. The service felt rushed; not a good thing for this type of restaurant. We had previously inquired if the honored the Primecard card and they said yes. When it came time to pay, they said the Primecard machine was not working. We have had this issue a number of times in restaurants that take advantage of Primecard marketing but don't really want to offer the discount. They really should not do that to clients. If you say you honor the card, honor it no questions asked. After we insisted, they ran the card again and it worked. We like Sawa, we have been coming there for years and will continue to do so. We fully expect not to encounter the same issue with Primecard ever again.

    Excellent service and great food. Very nice to sit outside and enjoy the casual environment. The price is affordable and you can easily share the plate. We had the Pinot Noir from Hahn Winery, one Mediterranean appetizer and the lamb kabob with truffle fries. Great option!

    Nice spot to enjoy a day out outside. Sunday drinks deal was great. For Brunch. Wish they hadn’t changed the menu so much after Covid though. Family and I used to be regulars here but stopped going often after 3 of our favorites are no longer offered (short rib pizza, aoli creamy ceviche and short rib potatoes). Wish they would bring them back :(.

    The food was overpriced for the quality. While the specialty roll sushi was very good the lamb in the pita was over cooked and very tough. Next time I would just stick to sushi and drinks.

The menu offered a wide variety of delicious dishes, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The attentive and knowledgeable staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a remarkable culinary adventure. It's a true gem that deserves every bit of praise.

    This place used to be my favorite when I was in town. However, since last October they seem to have gotten a new chef and changed the menu. I used to get the vegetable kabobs and now those are off the menu. The chicken kabobs were okay, but the garlic aioli wasn’t seasoned and didn’t taste like garlic. The angus kabobs had a good flavor, but weird texture. The mojitos, which are usually my favorite part of the restaurant, weren’t mixed and were pure syrup until I mixed it with my straw. I’ll give it another try next time I’m in town, but if it’s anything like this visit, I don’t think I’ll be back.

    New Years DJ was NO GOOD!!! Horrible! The food was bad ! My mother in law ended up in bathroom. The only thing I can say was good Was The Service! I went there 3 years ago for New Years and it was much much better . Thought it would be the same . Boy was I was wrong. Bathroom was broken in lady’s restroom. The line was out the door!

    Food was OK. It was new years event and the show was decent. The pre fix menu was OK. The first course had a good selection but chip was a bit stale, they probably platted these too early, plus the night was very humid. Second course more of the same, the fried rice squares with Wagyu beef was fried too soon and room temperature making feel stale. The tuna tartare was good but need a bit more citrus flavor like ponzu or maybe serve with ginger. The lobster ceviche was decent. The Last course beef seemed as though it was sous vied making the beef a bit tougher than needed.the cod was a bit salty also. Overall it was ok experience, definitely could have been better.

    First the service very slow, the place unorganized for the New Year celebration, and for $199 per person, you get 2 appetizer and one tapas and a cheap glass of champagne , at any giving day it might cost $40. The show was very bad, they hired few girls dressed in a cat custom with the same moves for 3 hours, and a spa music which made the crowd very sleepy and no one interacted with the music or each other, it felt like you are sitting in a funeral , the place came to live just 10 minutes before midnight. I would not recommend to any one , zero value for the food, service , atmosphere ,and entertainment .
