   Had such a pleasant time! Clean and comfortable environment with views of the city in the distance from the rooftop. Great staff! The host was welcoming and the rooftop bartender was attentive, knows the menus, and makes good cocktails. Can’t wait to come again!

   Really, really lovely celebrating my girl's birthday here and will be back! Was hesistant to go because I don't like being in Westlake having grown up here, so we went at 8:15 to try to avoid the crowd I would have expected to be the most annoying... Thanks to Rafa at the rooftop bar for the recs, kindness, and above-and-beyond service.

   We had a wonderful meal at Sway last night. It's been a long time since we ate there and now I'm trying to figure out why we waited so long. The four of us had the shu mai, Brussels sprouts, jungle curry, tiger cry, and blue crab fried rice and every dish was excellent. My favorite was the curry. It's a pretty restaurant, the noise level wasn't bad (it was a Tuesday night, so maybe less crowded than later in the week), and our server was great. Definitely recommend.

   We always have great food and service when we come to Sway. They’re always able to accommodate gluten and dairy food allergies. Service is always wonderful. Love coming here.

   Lovely patio, service great, short rib pad Thai was delicious, spring roll pretty good, patio chairs painful if you lack your own padding. One appetizer, one entree, three tap beers: $80 with tip.

   Hello Kathy Thanks for the review, we love all feedback. My best tip here is Give us a call with your next reservation and we can get you to the best seat in the house, our upstairs bar with a view of the downtown Austin skyline. It's a little tricky to book, so making a reservation then giving us a call to solidify it is the best way to make sure, and we're happy to help with that. Also, let's get you in a little earlier on a Monday-Friday so we can get you half priced drinks during our 4-6 happy hour! Thanks again!

   love this restaurant . The dishes are a bit too spicy! i’ve eaten here 4 times and they should put the red pepper and spices to the side. The service and ambiance are wonderful!!

   Thanks for your review, Jene. We'll keep an eye on the spice and make sure we aren't hurting anyone! Next time if you like, let us know that you've found the food spicy in the past, and we can guide you to milder dishes as well as ones where we can modify the heat. Thanks again!

   -poor wine list - nothing we ate was great. Lots more sauce with very little meat. Yuk Oysters and overpriced for what they were - hate sitting with other people and can’t hear yourself talking - hard to see location sign first time - hostess was not warm or inviting and frankly acted clueless Not great selection of food. Need more choices and something’s that aren’t spicy.

   Hello Carol, Thank you for the review, we welcome all feedback and love to use it to focus on what could be better. I'm curious, what was missing for you on the wine list? I'd be happy to see what I could get in if it fits our list! As far as the food goes, we can make many of the dishes less spicy, or point you towards the less spicy ones. If you'd like to come back in, we'd love to send you a couple of dishes that are not only delicious, but won't overheat you! Just drop my name when making the reservation so that we know you're coming and will have that ready for you. Thanks Again! Nick Cvercko - Assistant General Manager
