Made a second trip back to Swirl, this time with my winger & fellow Yelper Deanna in tow. I still love this place and in my opinion its a really cool hidden gem. We slurped back a bottle of Italian table wine which was only $23 and all things considered it was very decent. The chicken pate is still ab fab. The gal who makes all the goodies in the jar is the head chef at Brasserie (like she isn't busy enough!). The quality is stellar.
My only gripe with Swirl is that there were a couple of things on the tiny menu that weren't available (duck rillettes & herbed goat cheese). Deanna and I noshed on a cheese & charcuterie board that had four different cheeses & four different meats, all really delicious. My only suggestion would be for Swirl to add a savory to this board, such as olives or a small splatter of some sort of tapenade. Loved the little bowl of nuts the waitress brought over as we were finishing up or board. Service was comfy/casual.
I'll be back. I'm feeling the love for Swirl. Oh yeah, great tunes....gotta love that early Etta James!
