I absolutely love this restaurant . Best Sunday brunch I've ever had. Too much to say, but $1 mimosas are a plus. An outstanding balance of food and atmosphere. Get the Croque Madame ????

Ariana Voyer

The charred edamame with pop rocks and chili oil was awesome! Also loved the pork cheeks w/fig & mustard , red snapper with dashi and bacon wrapped figs . Ice Ball cocktails are fun too!

Sam D

Amazing service and an exciting, whimsical menu. Get the pork cheeks and flank steak and do try the popcorn and a movie dessert .

Austin Chronicle

Playful cuisine, delectable desserts , appropriate libations, and excellent service. The atmosphere can get boisterous, but a night at Swift's promises both a memorable meal and a super fun time. Read more

Adrian Phillips

Wide range of cocktails with plenty of beers on tap . Really enjoyed the Korean BBQ Steak , Asparagus & Squid Fries . Be sure to get two desserts as they are delicious and on the smaller side.

Serious Eats

From grilled quail with Southern hot water grits , to Peruvian scallop tiradito, Japanese chicken tsukune, and even Canadian tater tots poutine , the menu is wildly diverse, but somehow it all works.

Eater

The inventive and playful Swift's Attic has been making waves in Austin's dining scene. From squid "fries " to to foie "PB&J," their focus is on the dining mash-up. [Eater 38 Member]

Josh A

Delicious. Been there for dinner , lunch , and NYE prix fixe . Very satisfied with all experiences. Creative New American food . Fun desserts . Most plates are shareable style. Get shishito.

Carlos Villavieja

It's expensive but some plates are worthy. Korean bbq is sn excellent meat plate. The risotto and the noodles are also very tasty. For snacks the peppers and the edamame are surprisingly good.

Marc Messina

Everything is excellent. Food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. This is what I expect when I eat out. Now Austin just needs 50 more places that ace everything as well as the Attic

Laney B

Best thing on the menu! Korean BBQ flank steak -Crispy kimchi jumeok bap cake , grilled scallion , sweet galbi sauce

Patrick Sauzedde

Friendly welcome even for a late check in. Chili soup was too big, but the filet was fantastic. The glazed carot is use less. The glass of cote du Rhone was good. Not cheap but it is quality.

Jessica Fradono

Make sure you try the edamame and pop-rocks. Oh, shishito too! And if pork cheeks are on menu, don't miss them either! If I could be at Swift's daily, I would be. Thanks for making great food y'all!!

Chris Mueller

You can never go wrong here. All the dishes were amazing and service outstanding!! I myself am a chef and the caliber of food was amazing!!

Ernesto Gonzalez

Pad Thai , Korean bbq Flank Steak , and Nuoc Cham Brussels Sprouts are all fantastic choices. I loved them.

marty boyzuck

Ask for the booth on the back (complete with lazy Susan - perfect for sharing) and bring multiples of 3 for ordering.

Germaine Williams

Went here for brunch , no vegan options so they gave me a free bloody Mary . It was great considering the available options.

Phillip Wright

Food was fantastic but now I want a nap! Grilled romaine salad was wonderful but rich, and croque Monsieur was the same. Fried chocolate pie was delicious.

Thrillist

Nothing says creative comfort food like the house-spiced beer nuts and the crispy twice-cooked duck wings . Now go eat...comfortably. Read more

Jennifer

Loved the hipster decor - brass, birdcages, and anthropomorphic animal portraits - but the music and atmosphere felt more like a nightclub . Strange juxtaposition.

Meghan Brindley

everyone raves about the pork cheeks , but don't let the heirloom salad fool you - it's anything but normal. Try phenomenal!

Samantha Mae

Beautiful decor. Daily $4 cocktails . Came here for the food but fell in love with their dessert options !

Nils Timmermann

Service is excellent and the food is top in Austin. The oyster special is amazing.

Tanya J

The endive & leek salad to start and the braised windy hill goat shoulder were my favorite!! So delish!

Our favorite was the qual. But honestly everything was amazing. Make sure to make reservations in advance!

Our favorites were the cheese plate , summer vegetable and trout & do not miss the popcorn & a movie dessert !

Jess

Fantastic mimosas , great food, good music . I love this place!

marshall wright

Get the charred edamame with chili oil & pop rocks . They should be on every Best Bar Snacks of 2012 list this year.

Roger Willis

Amazing brunch and awesome space. Mimosas are pretty solid.

Katie Kaga

Alway Always. Always: popcorn & a movie !! And the charred edamame with Himalayan and POP ROCKS!!

Serious Eats

The drinks tend to be icy, straightforward, and on the sweeter side, with undeniable Texas influence.

Alison M

If you come on Monday at 9 pm they do a secret burger as a first come first serve basis

Begüm Bürian

Tapas style food is great, but avoid mezcal con mango from the cocktails .

Eva Villarreal

Great place for brunch . Try the TCB, huge but so delicious.

Ricky A

The appetizers were quite good, as were the cocktails . I was disappointed with the lamb meatballs . Halibut with wedge salad was good.

Condé Nast Traveler

Swift’s Attic is your best bet for an upscale burger , with a different specialty burger weekly. Read more

Paige Cronin

Try the popcorn desert and one of the "ice" beverages!

Katherine Johnson

Our favorite was the pork cheek . Yum! Make sure you use the fig along with it.

Roz Thomas

Edamame with pop rocks . Probably the best beer snack ever.

Bernard Fernandes

The squid fries should definitely be one of your menu selections.

Certainly Strange

Get the ice spheres during happy hour !

Michael Harrison

Carrots three ways is the best three way I've had!
