   I loved my experience. The flavors were mind blowing but can see how people who can’t handle SPICE ( because it is spicy) would feel differently. But seriously, it was awesome. The service was a bit behind but they were also very busy so no big deal. The seating was communal, so that was interesting but also made me feel like we were all sharing a cool experience (because it is). Reminded me of those days in the cafeteria sitting with all your friends surrounded by other people you might not know. It was cool.

   The food was good. But not everything was exceptional which I would have expected given the price. Unfortunately a few specials, drinks, and desserts were sold out. But the service was great, as was our main course, Brussels sprouts, and the drinks we did get. Would skip the octopus and dessert next time and stick with wine as it paired best with the food!

   Sway Thai is amazing - such great food and friendly helpful staff. We were sat outside around 8pm and they have mister fans so it was a lovely temp in the shade. Highly recommend!!

    It was my wife’s birthday and she felt so special, they gave her a candle lit scoop of ice cream and were very kind. The food was amazing and the service was fast and very attentive. Highly recommend!

    Excellent food and drinks. Favorite dish - ceviche. The dessert was fantastic. But the star of the evening was our server, Dreya. She gave great recs, was patient with us when we room forever to decide, and was overall super fun/pleasant.

    We were disappointed in the new menu and so sad to see the crab fried rice is no longer being served. It was one of the only dishes at sway that isn’t ridiculously spicy. Our server was fantastic.

    I really enjoy Sway; I think this is a fantastic place to eat and drink, however it's way over priced. When you compare a place priced like Sway to other high end restaurants that cost similar... you might find yourself wondering, "If I am going to spend this much, I might have instead picked a fancier place." I don't feel that Sway prices (in my opinion are anniversary-expensive) reflect the type of atmosphere or food that you'd find at a place that owns that type of price point. I probably wont go here again, unfortunately. Good product but I'd rather pay this much elsewhere.

    Overall, the food was really great and full of flavors - however I would not consider them to be your traditional Thai flavors. As long as you go with that in mind and not expecting the dishes to taste like the traditional dishes they are named after, you will have a good experience. I would say portions are definitely on the smaller side, especially for the price. Services was neither great nor bad, our reservation was for 7:45 - they closed at 9. It was apparent that it was the end of the night and everyone was ready to go home.

    Panang short ribs were amazing and the perfect fall off the bone texture, and there are many different flavors that keep this dish quite interesting. The shrimp ceviche with avocado jam was so fresh tasting with all the spring greens. We will definitely be back! Due to having to share a large table with other patrons (up to 12 per table), this many not be this best restaurant for 1st dates or people that are hearing impaired.

    We were seated promptly for our reserved time on mother's day but when it came time to order, they were out of nearly everything on the menu we actually wanted to eat. The first 5 choices! Poor planning on managements part. Of the food we did eat, it was lackluster. The octopus was good, but the green curry and pad Thai felt underwhelming. And the spring rolls were a bit plain. The ambiance and view was great. I'd recommend coming here for drinks but not for the food or dining experience

    Ridiculously overpriced food that is very different than what you may expect. $18 for a standard cocktail? $26for a small piece of pork shoulder, and $24 for “pad Thai” that had noodles in a thin liquid sauce and a chunks of super fatty chicken. “Ceviche” was some very fragrant greens and a few small pieces of seafood. Even the Tom Kha coconut soup was $24! Two adults and two children, adults got one cocktail and kids drank water, two shared appetizers, soup and two entrees shared among the table and the bill was $200. Wow, is this Austin or LA? We went last year during happy hour and it was completely different. Amazing small dishes and affordable drinks. Same with many years going to the old location on South 1st. Sway’s chef needs to come back to reality and make dishes that at least approximate their namesake, and management needs to rethink the extremely high pricing. We won’t be back until something major changes.

    The seating arrangement at the large square tables with benches the main dining room is not a good arrangement for parties larger than two or three. Impossible for a group of 6 to converse there. We requested a move to the high top tables in the bar and this worked well. But, the menu was disappointing, as by 7:00 pm the kitchen had run out of spring rolls and the only fresh vegetable /salad dish on the menu—the two items I ordered. The waiter forgot to come back to the table to take my substitution request, not a huge deal, as there was nothing else I wanted. The plates are meant to share—I had small bites from the other 5 entrees.

    The ambience seems great (although we opted for patio seating because the interior was so loud.) The menu looked great but the food, wine and service were all disappointing. I may try ordering delivery again, but I don't plan to go back to the restaurant unfortunately. It's not remarkably bad but for the price, I'll find a better dining experience.
