Solid food, we ordered too much, the small plates are pretty large. Standouts: kale Caesar salad, steak, chicken, big portion. Dessert just ok. Prices are high. Ambiance is very nice.

What a gem?! The ambience was inviting and kept me smiling. I was greeted warmly by the sweet hostess and was well serviced by Chuck and the food runner (didn’t catch her name but she was over the top for customer service). And the food was top notch! If you are a gluten free vegan in Austin and need a change from Mexican, you will be delighted! Thank you, Swift’s Attic!

I like the funky location of Swift's Attic - over the Elephant Room (cool jazz club) - and that funkiness extends into the interior. The creative menu ensures great tastes with a fresh mix of ingredients. The cocktails coming out of the bar are first rate. And, we had a great attitude, informed server (Mason). He reinforced the overall, great funkiness that is Swift's Attic.

First time there, enjoyed the ambience, food was fantastic, would like more protein shareable. Lighting could be adjusted a tad bit, enough to be able to properly see menu. Overall we will definitely go back!

Fantastic service and delicious food! We went for our anniversary, had the shishito peppers and chicken rillettes as an app, halibut and pork cheek for entrees and some wonderful cocktails. They even gave us a couple flutes of Prosecco for our anniversary. We will be back!

Really neat little place that won’t disappoint. From the host at the front door to the male bartender to our server, they were all super friendly, professional and on top of things. The female bartender took our drink order, brought my daughter’s drink and completely forgot about mine. The young male bartender noticed pretty quickly and had my drink to me in minutes. Food was great. We had the kale Cesar salad and Don’t Call Me Chicken. Highly recommend the truffle hot sauce on the side as it is SUPER hot. A real treat and highly recommend this great little place!!!!

Server acted as if she could care less of what we ordered or how our experience was. The music was early 2000s hip hop and pop which didn’t match the ambience at all. Half the items on the menu weren’t available. Worst $100 ever spent.

If you’re interested in paying $5,000 for a private event and your guests go home hungry and you’re pressured into an $800 of Christal because the restaurant did not bring out nearly enough food to hit your tab, you’ll love it here! Staff is pretty unfriendly and food in average.
