Exceptional overall. VERY pricey. Felt a bit rushed but it was Christmas Eve and we were a little late. Still… Love the sommelier! Emperors cut was delicious. Cooked perfectly. Enough for a table of 5. Caviar service pretty good but stingy with the blinis. Brussels sprouts with gochujang, DELICIOUS. Soy minionette for oysters- not my favorite. Broiled oysters, a sad miss. May make this an annual Christmas Eve event. It will take all year to save for it. But what fun!

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Swank. I really loved this restaurant; it's a quaint restaurant housed in a restored home. The food (the whipped ricotta for an appetizer and lamb chops, and sea bass as entrees) was great, the service was excellent. I will definitely return when in the area.
