    We had an amazing experience from start to finish! From the cocktails to dessert. This is where you go if you are looking for a first class dinning experience. Come with an empty stomach because the portions are enormous. We have two people splurge for the King Crab and it was superb. The seafood pasta has generous amounts of protein and flavor. The steaks are exceptional cooked over a mesquite fire. Juliana our host for the evening was a joy!

    Swifts Attic is perfect for a group of friends or associates that love a little food adventure. The shareables are designed for up to 6 people, and there's enough novelty to the menu to keep return diners from getting bored. After a great meal, it's only two flights of stairs down to Austin's best jazz club, so this is a whole night kind of experience.

    We attended the pop-up ugly Christmas sweater party. It was so much fun. The service was great and the whole place was decorated with festive lights and different motifs and Santa’s. Some of the drinks were served in really cute Santa mugs and other Christmasy themes, overall we loved it. Makes for a great girls night out.
