    My birthday celebration at Sweetwater Tavern was amazing! The server was very attentive to our requests, especially the food, us requesting for picture to cherish this beautiful memory. Service was absolutely excellent, food was presented very well and very delicious. Our server suggested a lot of food which we truly enjoyed, especially the birthday cake. The place set the mood as well.

    Had a short wait to get seated, not exceedingly long. (They were pretty busy) The food was great, and the service was excellent! The lighting was very low. Made it a little harder to read the menu.

    Service is usually good, sometimes it's busy - longest I have ever had to wait was about 30 minutes. Big fan of the smoked salmon salad! Always get the rolls. Been back many times and will return again.

    Food was delicious. I had a jumbalaya pasta. The sauce was creamy and spiced to perfection. My husband didn't particularly feel wowed by the food but I feel like he is too picky to appreciate anything. My friend got a salmon and said it was good! The vibe is a bit loud and the space is super small. There was basically no room to go between the rows of booths. The waiters had to slide behind the ticked in highchair that eventually got moved because they kept not having enough space to walk through. The booths are long which is nice but if you're larger in body size at all....there isn't much room there lol they do have outdoor seating but I wasn't willing to see if it was heated as it was super cold outside. The flourless chocolate waffle is 10/10 love that.

    This place reminds of a fancier olive garden by design minus the Italian food. Food here was great! Having the mix bread basket, baby back ribs, and roasted chicken. Selection of alcohol is pretty decent too. I would like to see them add ciders to the list. The waitress we had was attentive and awesome! I can see why it was so packed when we arrived. I would highly recommend reserving.
