We went to this place as a large group of 16 people. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant interior was fine as well but the lights were so dim that you couldn’t see the food. The piranha steak and the lamb pops were a hit. The appetizers were delicious. It was a beautiful day in Austin to enjoy the food and good company.

Weekend getaway in Austin, came here on a friends recommendation.
Ambience – very cool building, brick style industrial, cool paintings, old wood. Had reservations, but decided to just sit at the bar as we liked the look.
Service – We were helped right away, but then it slowly got worse. Even there were several people working behind the bar area, we had to flag them down if we wanted anything…they did not keep checking on us.
Food and drink selection – we were given several different menus…food, happy hour, signature drinks, etc. No wine listed, so that was yet another menu we had to ask for. Lots of paperwork, the person next to us had dropped several of their own, since there are so many to look through. A very annoying thing on the food menu was we really couldn’t understand what it is we were looking at. With embellished and overwrought descriptions, we found ourselves doing Google searches to see exactly what was being offered. Things like “Ricotta Agnolotti with dashi burre monte”, “Snapper Zerandeado” made it interesting to say the least!
Food – after figuring out what we would actually get, we ordered the Ricotta Agnolotti and a “Bidi Bidi BimBap” and Crispy Broccoli, all to share between two of us. The serving sizes were not too small or large, perfect size to share with the 3 orders. The Ricotta was good, very rich blue crab sauce. The BimBap was supposed to have “crunspy” rice along the sides, but did not, was not cooked enough to get that crispy rice edge. The Brocolli was actually broccolini, and very bitter…not good.
Drinks – we ordered a couple off their specialty menu, mine had a smoky tequila that overpowered the drink. Didn’t keep track of what it was I ordered, but wouldn’t order that again…whatever it was.
Would I go back…probably not.
Wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great.
Would, I recommend…maybe.
Won’t hurt to try it out, but there are so many good places in Austin, you might want to look around.

Had a great dinner! All the dishes were smaller portions by design so you can share. Different concept where you can order a variety for yourself or take a bite or two and pass it around. You can ask for another round of your favorites as we did! Everything we ordered was deliciously on point. Some we had to have more so we doubled up on the broccoli,bread and beef dishes.

A big shout out to Swift’s Attic for an incredible introduction to their new Executive Chef Nay Castillo. If you’re looking for flavors that pop with clear identity, Chef Castillo puts a lot of dimensions (sweet, sour, bitter, cold, crunchy, hot, melty, crispy) in each of the dishes. The big test was whether my wife’s sophisticated palate would enjoy it, and it’s a testament that we walked away a happy and very full family. What an amazing dinner and service! Our favorites were the hamachi crudo, lamb pops, and fried chicken. My son demolished the edamame with multi-salts and pop rocks. We had an amazing time. Go check out Swift’s Attic and Chef Castillo’s new menu!

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The server was so friendly. Specially when we said we’re vegan.
Best part Chef Nay went out of her way to mark everything vegan. And no we are not the picky vegans either. So they did it just because they’re nice.
The food itself blew our mind. Chef should be considered for a Michelin star for sure.

Came for NYE dinner and everything was amazing. Service, cocktails, and the pre fixe menu was 10/10. So much attention to detail and incredible food throughout the entire night. It was a perfect way to bring in the new year!

Swift’s Attic is a downtown Austin spot that feels like a “hidden upstairs” gem—creative New American small plates, a cool moody vibe, and a cocktail program that’s actually worth ordering from. The menu leans shareable, so it’s perfect for a group or date night when you want to try a few different things. Service was attentive and paced everything well. Great place to go when you want something fun and a little different from the usual dinner routine.

Absolutely outstanding experience at Swift’s Attic! Chef Nay delivered food that was truly off the charts—every dish was packed with flavor and creativity. The environment is amazing as always, with an energy that makes every visit feel special. If you’re in Austin and haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. Swift’s Attic is a must-try!

First, I want to say that our servers were very kind, attentive, and doing their best throughout the night. No complaints toward them at all. They were clearly working hard in a difficult situation.
Unfortunately, the New Year’s Eve prix fixe experience was extremely disappointing. It took over an hour for our table to receive the first course, and several menu items were modified or substituted without any communication. It was also obvious that food was running short, as our table was served noticeably smaller portions than tables around us.
We ended up leaving close to midnight, and given the long delays, it would have been appropriate to at least offer a cocktail or a glass of wine. We purchased a bottle of prosecco as soon as we sat down, and it was nearly empty by the time our first course finally arrived.
There’s a sign near the entrance defining “hangry,” and the irony couldn’t have been more fitting. By that point, our entire section was hungry and frustrated, and the sign unintentionally summed up the experience.
Based on the restaurant’s reputation, we expected a well-executed New Year’s Eve service. Instead, the lack of preparation and communication made this a poor experience overall.
