   I have always had a great experience here but this time was the best. Trevor is an amazing waiter and made our evening one not to forget! Thanks for indulging us with our bourbon flights! Your recommendations were spot on!

   got a great outdoor table on a surprisingly nice early evening. Terrific server. Tasty drinks, good salads (house and Caesar) and delicious Porterhouse Steak for 2. Not cheap, but nothing is anymore. Stayed for a drink in the bar afterwards, and got great service there as well

    We have eaten here several times. I don’t know if it was because there was a wedding going on at the same time, but the food was pretty bad. The pizzas are fine. But my nicoise salad was completely unseasoned and tasted like nothing. Honestly, really underwhelming, especially for the price.

    I've been to this restaurant several times pre-covid and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Sadly, quality has declined and we were disappointed with the the food. It was bland and unimaginative. Additionally, prices have gone up considerably beyond standard inflation. They have a captive audience where they're located, but I most like will not visit again. I can cook a much more interesting menu for a fraction of the cost. The only real highlight was the cinnamon old-fashioned. A must try.

    They changed the floor and now it feels like a cheap cafeteria. I could have picked a closer location for cafeteria atmosphere. Food was good but nothing special to drive all the way from Olympic peninsula to suncadia

    I went there to celebrate our anniversary and to try a different restaurant than driving to Seattle. My previous experience at Swiftwater was 8 years ago, and I don't know why I remembered being a bit more formal than the family restaurant ambiance I had this time. There was a wedding, so main salon was closed, so we ended up getting our table at the loft area, in front of the bar, in those high tables not really designed for a dinner. We felt way overdress for the crowd and I wish when we made reservations someone would tell us the main part of the restaurant was closed. The food itself was great, no complains there.

    Had the delicious French Dip. Our waitress was pleasant and very kind always attentive but not too much. Always a wonderful time at the Swiftwater at Suncadia especially bringing a close friend with me to experience the joy that I experience every time I’m there.

    We have been coming here for several years. Unfortunately, we have seen a decline in quality of food and drink quality. The atmosphere is pleasant and cozy and the service is always friendly. The servers are prompt but the bartenders are slow and the drinks not worth what they are charging. The food is always good but the menu limited and no indication when the lunch, dinner, or all-day menu is in effect. Not sure we will be back anytime soon.

    Menu was fall menu 2021. They used to change seasonally. Not much choice. No bacon available for cheeseburger. Server seemed to disappear after food was delivered. All in all not our past experience with the restaurant. I hear the chef is fairly new about a year) but doubt we’ll go back very often. Past 2 dining experiences have been sub par.

    Chicken Marsala, Porterhouse, Steelhead and Caesar salads were all excellent. It is spendy, however, great for a special occasion.

    Good food, service was lacking. Our waitress didn’t provide timely service. Another waiter delivered water and utensils. After quite a wait we have her our order. After our food was ordered and served she stopped by to ask if everything was good and then didn’t see her again for over an hour (this would be fine but we waited about 30 minutes after we finished our food/drinks for her return). Another waiter brought a box for leftovers and later the hostess brought our check. Only after we had paid did the waitress stop by again. It was ridiculous watching her sit down at other tables and holding dogs while we simply wanted to pay and leave. I wouldn’t be shocked if other customers gave up and left before a check arrived. It also appeared the owner and the manager had no interest in customer service. The owner sat on a couch and watched TV while the manager was sinking around on his laptop. It was sad that such a good meal and ambiance was hampered by lack of service. For the price of meals here I expect more impeccable service.

    We knew that the restaurant would provide a comfortable meeting place for an evening with old friends. The wine and food were both excellent and the noise level was quiet enough that we could carry on a conversation without stress. Our server Jason was attentive without being overbearing as we occupied his table for 4 hours. We will definitely be returning to the hoist house!
