Swirl is a sweet spot in Solon. You'll be impressed with the wine list, whether you consider yourself a wine enthusiast or a casual connoisseur. With so few areas left in the Solon area to get a sophisticated small plate and glass of wine, Swirl inevitably has slammed waits during expected high volume times. With little wiggle room at the bar- which is against the main entrance- a crowd can build up near the chilly door. I recommend early Friday nights (5/6pm) and late Saturday nights (9pm+) to get in quickly and not uncomfortably stand in the doorway. You can almost always find parking in the lot behind the building.
They have excellent charcuterie, and its a wonderful place for conversation, a first date, or to catch up with an old friend. They recently added wall-mounted electronic fireplaces, which creates a rustic vibe. You'll be impressed by the ability to get lost in your own conversation over a great cabernet.
