    Everything was excellent! We stayed in the Hyatt Regency, which was convenient since that’s where the restaurant is inside of. The fried green tomatoes were delicious, and so were the deviled eggs. My friend and I both ordered the short rib, our two other friends had the salmon and herb fettuccine dishes and everything was so good. We will definitely be back when visiting Atlanta again!

    We had a reservation, so we did not wait long to be seated. However, the hostess informed us they were short-staffed. Restaurant did not seem very clean and there were people with dog’s just walking through. Our table was not cleaned or set properly. The servers uniforms did not look very clean either. We had to wait about 10-15 minutes for our drink order to be taken and since the wait was long we placed our dinner order. Then my actual drink, sweet tea took about 20 more minutes. After receiving my drink finally, the young lady fixing drinks for everyone spilled 2 orders of chocolate milk all over my wife and our coats. She apologized profusely however, this does not make up for the drinks being spilled all over my wife and ruining her dress and our coats. No one came and said anything to us not even our server. I asked her for a manager and no one came. I finally had to go and find a manager and explain the situation. He offered dry cleaning but we were not staying in the hotel. We had been waiting over and hour by this time and still our food had not arrived. He stated he could take off the cost of dry cleaning off of our meal and I said no, that was unacceptable and he comped the meal. We decided not to stay and eat because we were over it and my wife was uncomfortable and now starting to smell like spoiled milk. It still took us another 20 minutes to receive our food to go. Once we were back at our room at the Marriott (next door) the food was not even warm or very good. The whole experience was terrible and we should have been comped a couple of nights stay along with the free meal by Walter who was the operations manager. We will never dine there again.

    The food was not seasoned. The chicken was over cooked, dry and tasteless.The only things that were noteworthy were the sweet tea , macaroni and cheese and the biscuits and cornbread. The server didn’t put our appetizer order in and when she did it was wrong. Bread had fallen on the floor next to the server prep area in the center of the dining room I sat there watching as the servers and dining room managers walked through it with no attempts to get it cleaned up. An overall bad experience, not the usual caliber of a Hyatt Restaurant

    Long wait despite reservation. Main course took 45 minutes to bring out (grilled cheese) and they didn’t bring appetizer out (deviled eggs) until main course had already been served. Forgot to bring sides with main courses. Food was just okay. Wouldn’t return.

    Service was slow. Granted, it was DragonCon, but still, it's primarily buffet and was well-staffed so shouldn't have been so slow in comparison to other restaurants we visited. Biggest complaint by far: The waitstaff station has water pitchers beside the cash register. A waitress sneezed several times that we saw, right onto the pitchers. The price is gourmet, but the ambiance is Golden Corral. I will not go to this restaurant again - prefer to OpenTable any of a number of other available options instead.

    So We did not actually eat at Sway. Being Dragon con weekend we had trouble getting elevator for all of us to be on time. 2 of us went ahead to let the restaurant know the difficulty and notify them the others were on the way. We got there 2 minutes after our reservation time. We were all assembled by 15 min ready to be seated. They gave our table away and the hostess was quite rude about it in replying to me of when I asked why they could not wait 15 minutes when we told them the troubles with the elevator. Impressions; The place looks and feels like a school Cafetria and reeked of old rancid grease. My party began to leave when we were approached by the manager l explained our difficulties and the hostesses rudeness. Then magically there was a table ready. But too late after the rudeness and the disgusting smell of rancid grease we went to White Oak which was fabulous.

    This restaurant has an amazing menu. There are plenty of options that will appease those who wish to try some local flavors such as shrimp the Belgian cream waffles, topped with fresh local berries and whipped cream, served with butter and syrup; the shrimp or the biscuits and gravy, made with homemade buttermilk biscuits, amazing flavorful homemade gravy, and topped with fresh chives. For the dinner menu, you absolutely need to order the fried chicken dinner that comes with mashed potatoes and chicken gravy. I also recommend these appetizers: Fried green tomatoes and the crab dip - both have amazing flavor and are local favorites! It is a little bit pricier than your average in-hotel restaurant, but the freshness and local flavors make it worthwhile

    The food was great! The fried chicken is EXCEPTIONAL! The greens were a bit heavy handed with the tomatoe so I didn’t care too much for those. Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were good as well. Shrimp and grits was good and had a nice seasoning to it. Cherry topped cheesecake was a great treat to finish the meal!
