After arriving at the Hilton Garden we were sent across the street for a late lunch. Wonderful food, staff and cozy atmosphere. Totally loved it!

This fun medium sized downtown bar has delicious, healthy, reasonably priced food. Do not miss the vermouth carrots, the beet salad is great, too. They run dinner specials during the week, have soups, salads, eggs, burgers, steak and pizza. We had breakfast, but I will be back for dinners. The staff are friendly, the place is very clean,the portions are... More

Great food and atmosphere in this tavern which looks much like it did when it opened over 80 years ago (as can be seen in the pictures lining the walls). I highly recommend the sliced carrots as a side to one of their many delicious sandwiches.

My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday night and it was not too busy. We got seats at the bar and ate our food their too. The service was fair, they could have been a little more interested, rather they seemed too busy (even though it was not that busy in the bar). We got our food within... More

Went here before a show at the Riverside. In close proximity - a short walk to the theatre. We found the cocktails to be strong, the beer cold and the bartender was nice. We had planned ahead to eat our dinner here due to the good tripadvisor reviews. They had a ribeye special for $10.95! We were seated at the... More

In town and staying at the Hilton Garden Inn on Broadway. Returning late, noticed the place, gave it a try and dined here 3 times over 6 days. Absolutely enjoyed the food and drink . A bit noisy on the speakers, but find the right table. Service and food is great and at excellent and fair prices. Maybe the 4th... More

I must thank my fellow trip advisors for the great heads up on Swingin' Door! Went here this past Saturday night and couldn't have been happier!
