SW1 Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
We booked to come here some weeks ago after reading other positive online reviews. It didn't disappoint. The food was fabulous, the prices very reasonable and the service was attentive but not intrusive. My wife had medallions of pork wrapped in pancetta and I had the grilled skate wing with Norfolk brown shrimps and home cut fries. Both meals were a knockout. We will be back.
This place is always fully booked and for good reason. I managed to get a table as someone else cancelled. The meal was incredible. You can tell the food is fresh and quality ingredients. I am terrible at booking in advance so i hope one day I can get a table again
The restaurant is on the second floor so you get great views of the harbor. The restaurant itself is has that cozy intimate feel, the staff where very friendly and efficient, service was excellent and the food was delicious! It was my birthday, booked a table for ten people. The waitress was excellent, nothing was a problem, had a wonderful evening! Will definitely be going again!
Absolutely beautiful. My husband surprised me for the night and I was blown away. Every dish sounded amazing when we sat down, the wine was lovely and when we eventually settled on something we were not disappointed. Everything was cooked perfectly with beautifully balanced flavours. The staff were impeccable and the atmosphere from start to finish was perfect. Thank you
Lovely cosy restaurant very friendly service and good food
Omg ..recently had a refurb and it looks stunning. Very romantic..but also great for friends. Food was amazing. But pricey but the food is well worth it. Staff are so friendly and funny. Thank you
Delicious food, extremely friendly staff and views of the ships entering and leaving port. Cannot recommend SW1 enough. Perfect for couples.
A real good restaurant. Excellent and attentive service, good range of starters, mains and desserts. Several fish mains are excellent and well presented. Wonderful night out.
