Beautiful restaurant, excellent service, good food. Don’t miss the oysters & the pear bread pudding. Calamari is salty but good. Salmon was a bit dry but the spicy black bean purée under it was phenomenal.

This place was a fantastic last minute decision. We couldn't have been happier. The food tasted very Fresh, and the staff was beyond friendly. The cost was in line with other areas. Overall I would encourage you to take a chance on this place. If we visit Seattle again, it is a must go

Stopped in before a show, as it was highly rated. Swel did not disappoint. The ambiance and decor was perfect for the evening. Service was quick, attentive, and extremely nice. And the food. We started with the scallops appetizer and it was everything and more. I’ve never had scallops like this, in a cheddar bake with chili like seasoning. And then we finished with the pear and Gorgonzola pizza which is always a must have wherever I find it and it did not disappoint here. Wrapped up with the peanut butter gelato, which was the perfect end. This is a must try and a must come back.

This place is great! Another outstanding dinner! Great food, drink and fantastic service! Love the ambiance here - perfect for a date night or just to hangout in a neighborhood place! Make sure you meet Ted the owner - talking with him will make the night even better!

We ate outdoors here on a hot evening. The waitress gets kudos for friendliness, good suggestions, and negotiating tree roots to get to us safely with full cocktails!
I had grilled shrimp, and a scallop gratin appetizer--both delicious, well-seasoned.
The cocktail menu is creative but not weird--the two I tried were well-balanced. I hope to try other things next visit.

We had a rehearsal dinner for my son and his fiancé for a group of fifteen. Ted, the owner, was quick to respond to our menu and seating questions. We had a set menu, but Ted was very flexible for the vegetarians and kids, he even put a special note on the customized printed menu to make it special. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and drinks. The service was great, our main waitress even went out of her way to take a group photo of our party. The atmosphere was just what we were looking for and we had a good time for this special evening. We enjoyed SWel so much that we took a couple friends there a couple days later. We tried the pizzas that night and they were very good. Thanks Ted and the swell staff!

Was not crowded. Friendly and attentive service. The beet salad was very tasty, with generous portions of beets. The pizza was very flavorful specially with house chili sauce. Descent beer selection.

We were searching for a place to eat near the troll under the bridge. Hubby brought up this place and so away we went. Best place to just happen to find on the google. If we lived in Seattle we would be here every weekend! Great food, ambiance and service! Hubby had a pizza which he loved and I had the pasta and we shared a bruschetta appetizer. We will definitely be going again when we are in the Seattle area.

We have eaten here four times since we discovered this restaurant about six months ago. The service is friendly and capable — first rate. The grilled squid appetizer and beet salad are outstanding. We’ve had several of the pasta dishes and never been disappointed. And I’m always pleased to see a nitro draft beer on the menu. The restaurant has a very nice decor and pleasing background music, so the atmosphere is great, too.

So fantastic that I wish I could keep it to myself but in fairness to this lovely restaurant, I just can't. Chicken dish was amazing. The pasta was a bit spicy (not indicated as such on the menu) but our wonderful server (Kailey N) immediately brought more sauce to cool it down. Drinks were superb and the atmosphere is beautiful. Wish I could go here all the time.

Very strange attitude looking for a good Italian restaurant we come with friend as we was 8 people and the waiter didn’t want to join three tables even if the restaurant was really not so busy almost empty
So finally we have to seat in two différents tables like foreigners with the others which is really not a normal behavior
Avoid this kind of restaurant If they look more about profit and customer needs or asks

Hello jessytequila... I apologize for taking so long to respond... I just figured out how to claim our listing on TripAdvisor.
Let me start by apologizing that you left our establishment with such a negative feeling. It's hard to imagine any of our staff not accommodating any person. I do know, however, that there are only two possible locations to put a party of your size. If those have even 2 people sitting in them at the time you walked in, we would not have been able to accommodate you until they left. You may have seen other tables that were in the restaurant that looked like we could have simply pushed together for you. The fact is, these tables, if pushed together, make it impossible for guests to move freely in the restaurant to say nothing of a server walking through with drinks or hot food.
In summary, I can assure you that if you did not get exactly what you demanded, we were simply unable to accommodate you and it had nothing to do with money or profit or the fact that you may have been "foreigners" (I, and any of our team, would never use this word to describe you or anyone else). We treat all of our guests with dignity and respect without exception. Please feel free to message me with any more input, we value all responses. I will chalk this up to a misunderstanding on all sides.

I have added Swel to my Saturday date night rotation! I don't know how we did not know about this place until now. I have to be honest...I was internet surfing for new places we haven't been and found this one just by chance and I'm so glad I did.
My husband and I do date night every Saturday and a couple of our regular places that we like to rotate around have fallen off our list for various reasons, mostly due to service and food quality changes. So, I am so happy to add a new one to the list.
I'd like to start this review by saying SWel is nicely decorated. It is a mix of eclectic and contemporary. Not everyone can pull this off but they do. You have chandeliers with a wall full of ornate picture less frames and many other interesting things to look at and then you have modern wicker lighting that to me looks like bee hives with modern wall sconces. So cool!!
We started with great drinks from the bar. I ordered a Cesar salad as my starter and had the Brochette and Calamari as my mains. My husband ordered a pizza. The food was excellent! Every bite!! One word of advise, the Cesar salad was very heavy on the garlic in the dressing which I love but was a bit heavier than what I am use to. So, if you're in the company of anyone that is sensitive to the smell of garlic then you might want to try that another time or make sure they eat some.
Thank you Swel for a fantastic evening!
