Love this place. Been a few times over the years when I visit and always come back. Oysters are delicious! Happy hour is a nice way to enjoy these. Ambiance is intimate and chic, music is nice and not too loud, can still have conversations with to your party.

Swift & Sons did not disappoint! From the moment we sat down, the vibe was warm and classy, with candlelight setting the perfect mood for a great night out. We kicked things off with some super fresh oysters—briny, ice-cold, and paired with the perfect sauces. Such a solid start! Then came the star of the show: the Bone-In Ribeye. Perfectly seared, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. On the side, we had the Brussels sprouts, which were next-level good—crispy, caramelized, and packed with flavor. And let’s not forget the bread basket, because who doesn’t love warm, fresh bread? Between the amazing food, great service, and overall atmosphere, this spot is a winner. Definitely coming back!

The best fine dining service I've ever received. I went for my 2 year anniversary and every staff member welcomed us and said happy anniversary including a handsigned card at our table. The beef wellington was one of the best things I ever ate. And we mentioned to a manager, who stopped by to check in, that we may habe to come every year and she made us a custom save the date card for 2026. It was fantastic. And I will definitely be back. Worth every penny.

Came here during Chicago restaurant week and was thoroughly impressed by great food, fantastic service and attention to detail and overall vibe/experience. We received custom menus, and a handwritten note to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend S&S.

The service here is 10/10. Everyone was kind, accommodating and everyone wished me a happy birthday that stopped by our table. Our drinks were consistently refilled. Never went below half a glass. Beautiful ambiance. Very upscale and comfortable private seating. The food was good but in our opinion, not worth $300. Wagyu Steak was a good cut of meat just not much flavor. The green beans were very odd to us. The cilantro paste with nuts just wasn’t for our palette. Mashed potatoes had great flavor but not the best creamed potatoes we’ve had however we still enjoyed them. The the filet topped with crab meat was realllly good. Tons of flavor!!!!

Went here for celebration and the staff went above and beyond. First, I got a signed card and personalized menu. Second, our party of 5 was seated a bit out of the way, there were a few other parties near us), but felt like a private room. Thee, food was incredible. We split the porterhouse, wagu ribeye, truffle risotto, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, and green beans. Their round and round cocktail was my favorite drink. Everything was incredible and can’t wait to return!

Tried for the first time during Chicago restaurant week during a weekday night. I got the hamachi crudo, pierogi, beef neck and the pavlova. I really enjoyed the fried piergois and found the beef neck to be a bit more dry than I expected. The crudo was my favorite of the dishes I got. The service was excellent! The atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant is what you'd expect at a west loop restaurant at this price range. I'd be interested in coming back to try staples of this steakhouse.
