    It’s a lovely spot. The drink presentations are really nice and very festive. It’s been years since we were there, and we both remembered that it was because the food is disappointing. The interior and the views out the window are actually quite lovely.

    Swing bar is a great place is one of our favorites. The service is always impeccable. The atmosphere is great. Food is pricey but very good. Staf is always on top of it, but not checking on you all the time either wine pairings are normally spot on great place for a date.

    The cocktails at Swing are so creative and delicious. And our meal was fantastic. We had salads and soups to start and then 3 of the 4 of us had the lamb chop special. So, so good!

    Always such a treat to spend time with friends dining at Swing Bar. We could easily hear one another while laughing and sharing some outstanding wine and food. The service is always professional and friendly. It sure made the rainy, blustery evening seem warm and cozy.

    Chanterelle mushroom soup and Lamb chops, what a wonderful fall meal. I wish other Olympia restaurants would follow their lead with changing up their menus to fit the seasons. That’s why we come back to Swing!

    What a fabulous dinner! We loved the special- chanterelle pasta and of course, the steak was wonderful. This is one of our favorite restaurants. Enjoy!!!

    Not impressed. Overpriced for what you get. Our server was busy socializing with the other staff. It took over 20 min for my husband to get his first drink, and food took over an hour. I was hopeful we had found a new spot, but we most likely won’t return.
