   One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Austin. The food is consistently great, I love the ambiance and decor, the only negative I had this time I went was I wish our server was more attentive. This is the first time I’ve had this issue here (so maybe they were new?). She didn’t ask me if I wanted another drink when I finished my first and I had to flag down another waiter to get a drink menu which I held open looking for her from just after our app plates were taken until about half way through our main which I didn’t love. My second drink didn’t come until we had finished eating at that point and I didn’t even really want it by then.

   This was our first time to Sway and they created fans. The restaurant atmosphere is vibrant but not too loud. The decor is elegant and subdued. Our service experience from greeting to exit was friendly and attentive. The curated dishes are beautifully presented and delicious. Highly recommend.

   The rooftop at sway has the best view in the city! Don't miss their happy hour - 1/2 off all drinks + really delicious food menu. We had the pao mussels and the veggie shu mai, and they never disappoint. The lotus margarita with mezcal or tequila is one of the best cocktails in the city (and definitely in west lake hills.) We even got to enjoy a delicious wine by the glass for half price, recommended by Anna. Chelsea was our bartender and she was a doll as well.

   Sway never dissapoints. Two of us shared the baby bok choy, the green curry with chicken instead of tofu, and the blue crab fried rice. More than enough and everything was delicious. Highly recommend Sway!

   Thanks for the review, Debbie! For the best Ambience, request the upstairs bar. It's the best view in town! It can be a little tricky to book, so feel free to give us a call so we can solidify that for you! Thanks Again Nick Cvercko - Assistant General Manager

   We had a wonderful time. I had made reservations for outside, the weather was windy - and without prompting, move the reservation inside. Also, we were celebrating an anniversary and they provided us with glasses of champagne. The food was delicious, well seasoned and timed perfectly. Highly recommend!

   Had such a pleasant time! Clean and comfortable environment with views of the city in the distance from the rooftop. Great staff! The host was welcoming and the rooftop bartender was attentive, knows the menus, and makes good cocktails. Can’t wait to come again!

   Really, really lovely celebrating my girl's birthday here and will be back! Was hesistant to go because I don't like being in Westlake having grown up here, so we went at 8:15 to try to avoid the crowd I would have expected to be the most annoying... Thanks to Rafa at the rooftop bar for the recs, kindness, and above-and-beyond service.

   We had a wonderful meal at Sway last night. It's been a long time since we ate there and now I'm trying to figure out why we waited so long. The four of us had the shu mai, Brussels sprouts, jungle curry, tiger cry, and blue crab fried rice and every dish was excellent. My favorite was the curry. It's a pretty restaurant, the noise level wasn't bad (it was a Tuesday night, so maybe less crowded than later in the week), and our server was great. Definitely recommend.
