This place makes me want to come back for more each time due to tasty food and good variety. Especially enjoyable is Sunday brunch.

This is our second trip to the Swann - this time just to the lounge. Service was outstanding and atmosphere was great. Very pricey: had 2 Bushmills and 2 wines - bill came to $72.60 without tip. Would get 5 stars except for the cost; guess you're paying for the atmosphere which is great

We had a great dinner at the hotel; the food was very good. We each enjoyed a different entree and all were good. The only issue was with the service, our server forgot to order one of the entrees for a my sister and we had to wait ten minutes, while everyone else had there food. The server, although nice,...

It was a sunny with a chill in the air, and the parade passing by(St.Patty's Day, a week early). Located in the Four Seasons Hotel, this site of culinary experience did not live up to its past performance. Coming for Brunch, with relatives, began with a challenge of: how to drive to the door; the Parade you see had blocked... More

Brunch at the Swann Lounge started off really promising even before we arrived. I had a very nice phone conversation with a host when I called to verify our OpenTable reservation as I wanted to make sure we had reserved brunch and not some other lounge space. Then when my husband arrived a bit early and needed to wait for... More

Afternoon Tea is one of the last remaining rituals of civility. Unfortunately, the 21st century has left its mark on the Four Seasons. It's a cliche to say "Once upon a time", but after having had Afternoon Tea in the Swann Lounge for many years it seems that the emphasis has shifted from gracious, knowledgeable service to the minimum required...

Can't say anything bad, great food, great service, went above and beyond to accomodate our needs. Try the Philly cheesesteak probably the best one you will have that is fresh with quality ingredients

My sister and I took our mother to the Swann Cafe afternoon tea which for some reason we thought was highly rated. Mistake. It was priced so that it should have been highly rated, but we were disappointed and actually felt a little sick afterwards. We all ordered the social tea for $30 a piece. This includes tea (duh), tea... More
