What a fantastic gem! Swirl is what I like to think of as Black Hoof lite with its meat, cheese and bread offerings and it's well thought out wine list.
Came here last night on the trusted word of my fellow Yelper Christine with whom I enjoyed a fantastic bottle of wine along with some excellent nibbles. We shared a cheese and charcuterie plate and a chicken liver pate which was served in a cute preserve jar. I very much enjoyed the charcuterie on offer though it was a little stingy compared to the small charcuterie board I'm used to at the Black Hoof. The chicken pate was a knockout, smooth and rich in flavour. Looking forward to future visits, the menu had cretons (yum!) and marinated goat cheese (intriguing).
Wine list is very reasonable, our bottle wine was the cheapest one on the list but it delivered the goods all the same. Our server was friendly and attentive and we had a wonderful time chatting with the awesome soundtrack of hip hop, pop and blues in the background.
Swirl is a small pleasant space that is well suited for relaxing to good food and drink.
