rev:text	I'd gone to Swan a couple of times back when they first opened ('98? '99?) and remembered really enjoying their food. I'd not returned until last Thursday night (so many other dining options, so little time), so I was dubious that the quality would still be there given that, sometimes, with the passage of time -- and with the associated initial popularity well-established, chef turnover, etc. -- decent places go downhill. But I was very happy to find that this was not the case w/ Swan. Firstly, the ambience is just as cozy and intimately-charming as it always was -- which isn't easy to pull off for a retro 50's diner. The service was great: genuinely- friendly, attentive but not intrusive. When we first arrived and were considering the wine options, our server was extra-busy so the less-busy bartender helpfully approached us with his suggestions, and he was spot on, a very tasty tuscan red (sorry, can't remember the name!). Everything ordered was good to very good: -the mussels app ($11) was exceptional (and a fair portion), the broth was so tasty we went through the first batch of fresh white portuguese-style bread (re: sopping) within minutes, not un-noticed by our server who brought more, unsolicited. - my generously-portioned, perfectly-cooked and really flavourful salmon entree (fish special-$22) arrived beneath a scrumptious pesto-tomato coulis, with a side of a risotto cake beneath rapini in a fresh-tasting, tomato-based sauce. -my DC's beer-braised beef shortribs were incredible, as was the side of velvety, buttermilk mashed. I have one minor complaint - the low-lighting makes reading the menu difficult -- an irritation that I'm finding is more common now. one votive candle on the table does not provide enough light -- if a restaurant insists on that degree of darkness, this can be easy resolved by putting a couple more votive candles on the tables, ya? Overall, very good value and a very pleasant dining experience.
