    Just an okay experience. Our first three choices of wine were not available. Not a great first impression for a wine bar. As for the food, very eclectic menu. The tenderloin most definitely was the star. Server could have been better at explaining the components of some dishes, especially the very spicy ones.

    I had the salmon and substituted the couscous with coconut rice. Got plain rice, very little of the cranberry relish and no noticeable seasoning on the salmon. Very boring meal for the price.

    Service was incredibly slow. Nearly 45 minutes for two flights of wine to be served. We liked the wine and will give the place another shot as the food looked great and it may have just been an off night for them. Beautiful views, great ambiance.

    Swing is the best. Gotta go at least once a season/once every new menu. Our spring visit was excellent, the patio picturesque, and the Ragu was exquisite. Also the cocktails are varied and decadent; rotating wines foreign and domestic. Gem of a spot.
