Reviews of On Swann
taylor elizabeth
Staff and ambience was amazing. My boyfriend and I were served by Juan and he did an amazing job and was incredibly helpful and gave great recommendations. Chef Billie was also great and super friendly, not to mention he makes AMAZING food. We got the shrimp and grits and pork chop for our entrees and they were mouth watering. If you go make sure to save room for the bread pudding because it was to die for. 10/10 would definitely recommend this place to everyone!!

We had an excellent dining experience at this restuarant. Our host was very attentive and helpful. He made sure we were happy with the food. Our daughter enjoyed her cheese pizza. The chicken salad was fresh and the dressing was extremely delicious. The pasta was also yummy. Overall, we thought the food was tasty and were talking about coming back for another occasion.

Loved the brunch atmosphere! We tried a nice assortment of items, our favorites being the French toast and steak and eggs. (The frittata was nothing to write home about as it was simply fried egg whites with an unappetizing looking sauce smeared on the top with one cherry tomato cut in half. The side salad was good.) Good service, great drinks. Will return!
Lu Salinas
On Swann is a MUST. Everything about this place is amazing. From the service, to the food. We had a fantastic experience and our server was beyond exceptional. There was so much flavor in the sandwiches we ordered, a combination of sweet and salty. We were very impressed with the food! For an upscale restaurant, the prices were very reasonable too.
We ordered the BLT with avo & fried egg, grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup.
Non-alcoholic Blueberry Vanilla and Strawberry Mint sodas.
We went on Wednesday morning and there was no reservation required nor the restaurant was busy.
We highly recommend visiting this restaurant! On Swann is definitely a place we will stop by when we are in town.

I just want to say customer service was A1 here. From the receptionist to our waitress, Skylar to the manager. Skylar was very polite, knowledgeable, and when she wasn’t sure about a dish she was willing to verify for us. My friend was unsure about his dish that he received.so the manager got involved and was willing to accommodate him. He even had Skylar bring over a complimentary dessert(I was drooling after taking a bite, it was so delicious).Everyone did a fantastic job, me and my friend left in awe and in complete satisfaction. Thank you all for a great evening!
Kayleigh Sandlin
On Swann is my favorite restaurant in Tampa! Food is always fantastic and they constantly have specials and change up the menu. Service is always great - I highly recommend Chris, Anthony, and Riki! The gnocchi, beef carpaccio, and zeppole are the best, and can’t go without the bread pudding for dessert!! Love, love, love this place!
Caroline Haruki
We just came here for dinner the other night, and we had such a wonderful time. Our waiter was lovely, and the food we ordered was delicious. The presentation and flavors were excellent. Our appetizers, main courses, and desserts were absolutely mouthwatering. If I ever stop in Tampa again, I will surely come back to this place!
Brady T.
My family and I came to this fine establishment after an appointment that I had. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was very gorgeous. If you like fancy places with unique culinary creations, this is the place for you!
Natashia Shannon
Very quaint, but sophisticated corner restaurant with a nice ambiance. I have wanted to dine here for years and 'Tashiastaste' finally made it! The manager on duty accommodated me immediately with a patio seat which was very nice, although it was a bit chilly and the outdoor heaters did not work. Despite that they offered blankets for patrons. We tried the infamous kale salad that was as good as reviews says it is, the hot chicken, the burger and the steak frittes that was the best bite of the night. My husband woke up this morning still talking about the steak and how much he enjoyed it! The 'Wordplay' cocktail topped everything off superbly. I was not disappointed.

Great place, with great ambiance, great food. And good drinks. I love the mix of themes on swann has to offer. Great vibe also and beautiful people. Great for a date night or other things as well. Staff was great and very attentive. If you're in the Tampa area you need to stop by and give em visit. I loved that they had such a huge selection of bourbons also. Can't say enough good things. I highly highly recommend the oysters. They are cooked but the sauce they are cooked in is just.....😘👌🏼 Perfection
Vinicius Pranckevicius (vinipranck)
Great vibe for a dinner with friends or a date. Ambiance was lively and service was excellent. The wait for the table without a reservation was a little too long so we sat at the bar for a few drinks and bites. Everything was great. Despite the bar and restaurant being quite full, everything was brought to us in a very timely manner, which was greatly appreciated. The cocktails were well balanced and the share board we ordered was great as well. Definitely coming back!
Sa'Von Sanders
Such a wonderful experience. We came here for my moms birthday and really felt like we were well taken care of and enjoyed our time. The service was excellent from Skylr. She was on top of every single moment - from ensuring we had water refills, cocktails refilled, food on time and even bringing my mom a birthday dessert with candle. From beginning to end we had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back!
Reta Bidi
I was looking forward to trying this place since it was recommended to me and finally had the chance but I was disappointed the first time, I was given another opportunity to come and try it. I enjoyed the food. I spoke to Ron who is the manager there. He was outstanding and went above and beyond to make sure I had better experience which it really was. Service was wonderful, I enjoyed the food as well
The first time around I had their Google and Yelp recommendation, Steak frites. I personally did not like. The second time around I had their Kale salad without bacon!!! WOW it was sooo good, I ate the whole thing. Their salmon was very tasty as well I also had their tomato bisque which was outstanding as the first time.
They have plenty of seats inside and outside, They do close from 2-5 so lunch time then closing and preparing foe dinner. I would sit outside, inside can get loud specially during lunch time. I would go again and I would def get the salad and the tomato bisque.
Michael Moses
Get. The. Brunch.
Yes, there are a number of great bruncheries around Tampa. On Swann impressed us by being trendy, accessible, efficient, and high quality. Bright and airy. A rare combination.
Great mix of frequent locals and tourists hanging out in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
Every single brunch dish we spied on other tables looked yum. The Moroccan Eggs looked particularly interesting.
Food and drinks priced exactly as you'd expect for the experience. $35/person for entree, drink, and shared appetizer.
Slava Sponitz
Great lunch and great service. We ordered Chicken Salad and Sirloin Burger. Our food came in a minutes, very fresh and tasty. The restaurant has a great interior and ambiance. I would recommend this place for both casual and business lunch.
Jasmine Lopez
We had a wonderful experience going to On Swann for the first time! Our server, Matt, was so friendly and full of charisma! He thoroughly explained all of our menu options and gave his recommendations, which were highly favorable! We ordered the infamous Kale salads and I had the salmon while my husband had the steak burger with truffle fries! He enjoyed his maple walnut old fashioned and I had a watermelon spritzer mock tail. My salmon was so fresh and grilled to perfection. I appreciate the lovely cuisine art, motif and aesthetics of my plate. My husband’s steak burger was extremely satisfying! From the ambiance of the restaurant, the industrial vibe, exemplary service from Matt, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience coupled with the amazing and delicious lunch! I like the open concept of this brick and mortar location, centrally located, in Hyde Park. We highly recommend everyone to have lunch at On Swann; furthermore, we will definitely come back for dinner! ☺️👏🥂
Leah Carlson
Where to start! Everything about our experience at On Swann was on point! The cocktails were delicious (the mi alma was my favorite), our server Chris took the time to walk us through the menu to ensure that we would get the best dishes for us, the food was amazing and you can tell how fresh everything is. The lamb special was to die for and adding blackened chicken to the gnocci took it to the next level (thanks to Chris for the recs!). We sat outside and it was lovely. We could even still glimpse the kitchen inside. 100/10 can’t wait to go back. Love that the menu is seasonal and excited to see what awaits us next time we’re in town!
Tiffany B
1st visit. A Friday during lunch. We were seated, with drinks and our delicious charcuterie within 15 minutes. I was very impressed with the service. Restaurant wasn't too loud and the vibe was quaint and welcoming. Lots of natural light able to come through. It was a perfect day to visit. Mallerie was our server and she was thoughtful and prompt. Can't wait to return!
Matthew Schaper
Great atmosphere and service. The food was amazing. And the food had great flavors. Our waiter was very informative and welcoming. Had great suggestions/recommendations was a great dining experience with the open kitchen highly recommend this restaurant.
Natalie A.
My friend and I came for a girls night out and I'm so glad we chose On Swann. From location, to service, down to the food - everything was on
point. We were seated fairly quickly on the outdoors table. Our waiter came immediately and let us know the specials. Helped with our drinks (I like to always ask what's the oakiest Chardonnay - ZD) and was super friendly. We got 4 different "appetizers" which were a decent size. We got the beet salad, kale salad with blackened salmon, mussels, and the beef carpaccio. My favorite was the beet salad and least favorite was the mussels. Mussels are tasty but a bit on the spicy side. We finished with cappuccinos and the best bread pudding you'll ever have. GET THE BREAD PUDDING!
Mitch Pritchard
Food was amazing. Bartender did an excellent service and help pick out our food for us. I wish I could remember her name, she did NOT miss
Kelly Ezagury
Upscale restaurant, the food was amazing, our waitress was fabulous, very good recommendations, excellent service. Love the food , got the mussel wow!!! For second the pork chops was delicious
Userfivezerofive1039
This place is awesome. The service is impeccable and the food tastes even better then It looks. Everything was superb, the entree the service and the decor. I didn't take pictures of anything because I was to busy eating and enjoying. My girlfriend managed to snap a shot of their cobbler before we devoured it. I can't wait to go again and explore The rest of the menu.
Larry Hansen
Mixed results here! High service received from an obviously well-trained staff in an eye pleasing, thoughtfully designed restaurant. The Swannmary cocktail received raves! Highly recommend. But not the Passionfruit Spritzer cocktail. I wish Passion fruit was a predominant flavor on the palette with the sparkling wine. The Tomato bisque was easily our favorite of the meal. And you do receive a nice serving. Very tasty!
The Sirloin burger was o-k. And while the Moroccan Egg is described in the menu with baked eggs (plural) you indeed receive, one egg. When you think about it…is one egg really enough to satisfy? Maybe for some. It also contained lamb sausage and while the sausage is very good, it was a light three piece serving. Consider ordering a second entree here or something else with the Moroccan Egg. A question was made to the server, who was extremely pleasant about it however, no remedy or manager visit.
For us On Swann is a see and be seen vibe, and we definitely enjoyed that!
MIz Ninjahound
What a great experience. Had dinner with my girlfriends before I move away, and everything was fabulous. The server was polite and didn't rush us. Food was even better. Can't wait to visit and see what else there is in Hyde Park.
Holly King
On Swann has free parking across the street. You can make reservation or pop in, we didn’t make reservations but got there just at opening and asked to sit outside.
Tea for $4 and coffee for $3.50 were reasonable and our sweet and very fast server kept the coffee and tea hot, thank you.
I ordered an egg white frittata and my hubby had the black bean burger with a $3 up charge for the fries. The burger had a bit of a kick (not Dallas Cheerleader kick more like a retired Rockette).
The restaurant used to have bread when you sat from Jamison B and we missed that.
The music, was a bit loud inside but outside you could have a conversation.
All in all a good, solid place to go and have a lovely meal.
terry ledesma-berger
Excellent service and delicious food. We had the short rib ravioli, it's a must. The bread pudding was ridiculously good.
Anthony Bailey
My wife and I had our first date night out almost a year after having our second kiddo. We decided to give On Swann a shot while we had a babysitter for the night. Zero regrets. We received some of the best service I’ve had in years of fine dining, and the food was delicious. You can tell when an establishment puts a lot of effort into making sure they hire the right people for the job. Everyone from the front of the house to the back (and management) did great. All of the food was cooked perfectly with significant portions and awesome flavor profiles. The drinks were top shelf as well. We had a fantastic time, and we’re glad we chose them as our first downtown experience in Tampa. We will be back for sure.
Al Amir
After seeing a picture of the Steak Frites with bone marrow online I just had to try it and after trying it I have to say I was not at all disappointed; it was absolutely delicious. All the other food our table got was fantastic too from the Hot Chicken and Oysters as starters to the Short Rib and the Gnocchi. Our server Kaylee also provided excellent service and recommendations. Will definitely return!

Spec.Tac.U.Lar....
Been a fan of charcuterie for quite some time, and On Swann NAILED IT. The wife and I shared a butcher and cheese board (combined) and it was absolutely stellar.
The ambiance of the quiant atmosphere gave off corner bistro vibes, with an emphasize on expanding the typical palette. Along with the board, we had a couple of drinks; the walnut maple old fashioned and the Garden Social- both were mixed to perfection. If you're in Tampa, and you enjoy a nice upscale neighborhood eatery - do yourself a favor and stop in.

On Swann is located in south Tampa. I have been here quite a few times. There is indoor and outdoor seating, interior is high ceiling, bright and open. Decor is chic/ modern industrial. Moderate level of noise, nice background house music. Menu is limited and well thought of. This time tried Kale salad, and beef carpaccio. I think both were great in taste and presentation ( see pics). Main course tried steak frites, and bone marrow with pesto sauce, fries, and sketch up. I think all were perfect. For two people we ended up with 100$. Bathrooms were clean. Our server was attentive, well trained. She was not intrusive, and too much around. All and all I have not been disappointed every time I came here.
Give it a try 👍🏼
Samantha Shorey
I visited On Swann after hearing great things about it and now I see why! The decor was beautiful and classic, and the restaurant has an interesting and varied menu. We had the beef carpaccio (which I’ve never tried before) the smoked salmon, truffle fries, mahi-mahi, scallops, ice cream, and fruit cobbler. (Yes we were stuffed and took home “doggie bags”. I was a little nervous to try the beef carpaccio, but I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors, it was wonderful and thinly sliced enough to be delicate and tender. The smoked salmon was also delicious and I had food envy with the mahi-mahi of my companion. The ice cream and pumpkin mousse was fabulous, but the crust of the fruit cobbler was undercooked, bummer. I’m definitely going to visit this place again though, I could make a meal of appetizers and that ice cream! I recommend On Swann for a unique and delicious dining experience.
Adam Montana

Very well one of the best dining experiences I've had in Tampa. Truly a 5 star restaurant and no fluff here. Each portion was a decent size and delicious .
Marshall and Milo Design
My favorite place in Tampa for sure!

Jennifer Renois
First time. It was an amazing experience! Our waiter was Kayleigh. She was great, really friendly. I loved that she knew what she was talking about! Very patient. We will be back.
Robert Nardi
This is a wonderful place to eat. The food and service were topnotch from start to finish. The steak was perfect the meatballs and onion rings were amazing as well.
Tianna Schwab
Fine Dining in Tampa. Food was delicious, service was great very knowledgeable about menu and fast cocktail service. Beautiful atmosphere definitely a Must Go in Tampa
susie schalt
Excellent dining experience. The decor was nice and the service was great. A little loud but everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves as much as us. I had the scallops with brussel sprouts and the roasted corn while my date had the steak and Pom fritz with truffle butter. Everything was delicious! They have parking behind the building as well as along the street at no charge and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations are highly recommended.
Pipin
We had a great lunch here. Everything we tried was really good. The burgers are delicious. Prices are not cheap but you are paying for good food and a great experience.
Macey I.
Excellent food and very attentive and friendly servers. They made sure to ask about and accommodate dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy for me). I ordered the pommes frites, cauliflower, kale salad with salmon, and a “faux-jito.” All was delicious and prices were reasonable. The only thing I’d say is it does get crowded so try and get a reservation.
Elissa K
Amazing cocktails, delicious food and excellent service. Our server, Skylar, went above and beyond to provide an unforgettable experience. Perfect spot for celebrating a low-key anniversary or concluding a memorable trip to Tampa!
Highly recommend the cheese board and the Ribeye!
Crystal Sperduto
The vibe was great. Loved all the food as well. Was able to get a table for 8 on Sunday short notice.
Pooja Varma
Absolutely loved On Swann! This place is beautiful, great lighting and ambience. The food was amazing, everything I ordered was so fresh and tasty, I feel like you couldn't go wrong with anything on their menu. They also had great service we had our food in no time, loved this place and I highly recommend. Also must make a reservation if your going to go on the weekend because this place will be booked!
Ana Valle
Had a phenomenal experience here! Had a small snafu when we first arrives but staff took care of it early on and our meal was amazing!! Cannot rave enough and will be going to the group's other restaurants!
Nick Rage
Excellent food! Had the Farm charcuterie board, hanger steak, and bread pudding. All of it was phenomenal. They are definitely doing it right. Nice Ambiance as well. Great for a date night or special occasion.
Logan Levenson
Showing up at On Swann, you are immediately struck by the olde American style bar and decor. It’s approachable but has a fancy feel to give you that good good impression.
Unfortunately, our table wasn’t ready when we arrived. Since the outdoor area was closed for flooding, they had to crunch everyone inside. Not 5 minutes went by before the manager came over, offered us a ton of options for what we wanted to do next. He even waited on us on our own makeshift cocktail table until our table was ready. I was extremely impressed with how Skyler treated us.
We ordered the Ribeye as our main course. Woof was this everything I wanted in a steak and more. Perfectly cooked, seasoned, and charred. Great drinks, vibes, all around.
I didn’t know Florida could produce such a good meal out of Miami. 10/10. Will return.
Japhat gatura
Went as a big group of 14 and after a bit of discussion were seated near the front of the restaurant. Service was good throughout and the atmosphere is good as this restaurant is always busy. The menu is not long but there were so many things I wanted to try and I was really pleased with my choices but would happily return several times to try other options. Good beer selection and wine list. Some interesting signature cocktails and prices are reasonable for the quality. I'll be back for sure.
Lisa M.
The Walnut Old Fashioned was everything!! The burger and tomato bisque were also delicious! Beautiful restaurant with great staff. It's an experience...from the open doors to outside down to the fresh cut wood candle in the restroom that I'm still trying to find online. Yasss Swann, yasss.
Benjamin Ramirez
Great environment, great food, great service. There menu isn’t your typical menu with dishes smaller than appetizers called nibblers. We had 4 drinks total with a appetizer and 2 entrees which came out to $100 which isn’t bad. The Hot chicken appetizer was amazing. The waitress recommend a watermelon-strawberry soda with vodka which was good as well. All around great experience.
Ricardo Lucca
We normally come for the brunch and it's always delicious, today we had dinner and we loved it. The photo is the Stake frites with the bone narrow. Exquisite
Bernardo Silva
Fantastic food. We came in at around 1130 on a Tuesday and it was easy to get a seat. We ordered the Mediterranean share board. It was served with pita bread triangles which were fresh and delicious. Every dip was amazing.
I had the pasta genovese and it was very yummy and plentiful. A lot of pesto, but excellent. My wife had the black bean burger and also found it fantastic. We each had two drinks so it came out right around seventy bucks a person with taxes and tip included, and it was well worth it.

Every thing for dinner was great here! The atmosphere was very high energy and the service was good.
Tiffany Morgan
This is such an incredible restaurant! From the decor, atmosphere, service and food. An all around wonderful experience! I was with a large work group (party of 16) and our server Trina was outstanding! She was engaging, knowledgeable, took the stage, made fantastic recommendations and truly knew what the hell she was doing to build the expectations of her outstanding service. All were impressed and everyone wanted to recruit her! The food was delicious. Not a single complaint or feedback to try something different. Highly recommend for any occasion!! Bravo, On Swann!
Fabiola Alexis
The atmosphere is laid back yet really cozy. The staff was amazing and attentive. Our server made sure to ask if we came for a special occasion. They even sang happy birthday to the bartender. It is louder than other restaurants but this adds to the experience. I recommend the Ragu. It was delicious. The pasta and beef were cooked to perfection.
Cheslyn Wilson
Really amazing atmosphere. Their menu is full of great food selections. Insane drink menu.
Find My Food Stu
Just moved to the area so wanted to explore the Hyde Park Village area. Passed a few spots that were too busy and stumbled upon this place that was more on the outskirts of the activity and it ended up being a gem! Meatballs were definitely interesting and caught me off guard with the grits, but in a good way. Short rib ragu was fantastic. Also had a great cocktail list. Will return and will return often.
Brian B
Fun and Yummy!!! The food and drink menu is vastly unique and enthralling... The flavors are bursting from the cheese board to the entrees to the desserts - well thought-out, engineered plates that will have your taste buds dancing! Oh!! And!! The portions of every menu item were abundant - no curing corners on quantity here - come hungry and don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach bc I did!!...finally, the service was Courteous and Attentive!!! My compliments!! Kudos!! I will return!!
Thiago Ruiz
Good food, amazing cocktails and very friendly staff. The scallops where delicious and I do recomend both variations of old fashioned cocktail, the one in the menu and the apple infused.
Jeanie You
Had dinner at On Swann for the first time last night and they did not disappoint.
The ambiance is lovely. The hostesses and wait staff are warm and very service oriented.
To start we had the Arancini (saffron arancini | chorizo | manchego) and Kale Salad (quinoa | brussel sprouts | bacon | corn | tart cherries | pecans | ricotta salata)
Our entrees were:Short Rib (ragu | gemelli pasta | wild mushrooms | citrus pine nut crumb) and Pork Chop (double chop | apple mostarda | squash | anson mill grits)
My only regret is not taking more photos as everything was yummy and well plated. But I’ll be back & there will be more 📸 🥘 🍹
Deja Johnson
Ok so the cocktail program at this restaurant is TOP TIER as well as the service! We sat at the bar and the experience was so personable and the drinks were A1. Only got videos no pics of the food but we had tuna crudo, steak frites, and charcuterie: Everything was bomb. I will say the lack of coasters and paper napkins under my drink threw me off. Not having coasters just made the drinks a little less cocktailee….. made the experience a little less Picturesque if you will. However, The bartenders Glen and a a young woman (forgot her name she was medium build with brown hair) very knowledgeable about the drinks/food and even suggested a speak easy (Ciro) that we went to after and had a stellar time!
Vladislav Kern
Delicious food in a trendy setting. The most young people I've seen in Florida in one place 😂 Moroccan eggs dish was fantastic, great spices and lamb sausage was superb! Avocado toast came on a very generous piece of sourdough, very tasty! Great stop for brunch!
Steve Aycock
Update 10/2022: On Swann is still amazing. They stay totally consistent with excellent drinks, food, and service. Our server today was Taylor and she was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Always a great experience at On Swann.
One of our absolute favorites in Tampa. You cannot go wrong here. We love the charcuterie board, the kale salad, and the pizette. They have awesome drinks that change regularly and a great selection of wines. The short ribs are excellent and the ribeye is as well. Get the bread pudding for dessert. The service is amazing. You will not be disappointed. They gave my wife a cookie with candle for her birthday. Super nice people and excellent food and drinks.
Claire Johnson
Love this restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing! Every dish has a delicious spin on it and every bite is a party in your mouth! The flavors are incredible. And it just doesn’t stop at the food, the drinks are mouthwatering as well! Definitely a must eat at place!
Jon
One of Tampa’s classiest, most charming restaurants. Not stuffy, more on the relaxed/upscale side. Every dish I’ve had has been excellent, and the drinks are great. Sitting at the bar, the high-top, or outside make for a nice departure from the usual table setting.
Arthur “Art Jr” Rimbold
It would be difficult to give them anything less than 5 stars. Our only issue was the noise. It’s a very loud dining experience but that’s not the easiest problem to solve. As for the food, it’s in the top echelon of Tampa dining. The courses were bigger than expected which makes the price right for the offerings. We had starters this time and enjoyed them all. The fig tart was our favorite. We also had the Foie Gras which was great, the carpaccio, and the tuna crudo. The carpaccio was slightly over salted but for that being the only issue, we’ll definitely be back and with friends. Great place overall!
Jennifer Lewis
Great food, atmosphere and wait staff! I can't wait to go back! Score!
Kelsey Saylor
I had an incredible night at On Swann! The ambiance, the food, the service… all of it was done so well. My husband took me there for a birthday celebration and every server told me Happy Birthday, and even included touches of champagne and a cookie to celebrate. The food was PHENOMENAL. If the zeppole is still on the nibbles menu, it’s a must try. Whoever thought to do a savory version should be promoted. Everything we ate was delicious.
The service was truly wonderful. Our server was attentive and kind, we had other who also would bring us bread and make sure all was going well. I would highly recommend and will definitely be going again in the future!
Vincent Luciani
Brunch at On Swann was a great experience. We arrived early and they were able to accommodate us. Logan, our server was friendly, attentive and gave us great menu recommendations. The food and drinks were delicious and the prices were reasonable.
Iron Shine
They have a small menu choices but I enjoyed their curry mussels and passion fruits cocktails, it’s just perfect for a small lunch. The place is nice industrial rustic theme which is cool.
Jarin Eisenberg
Excellent dinner, fantastic service - beautiful experience
Tom
It's rare to find a place with so much creativity and flavor in every dish for an amazing value. We got the kale salad, fig tart, steak frites, and burger and all of them were perfect. I give the food here a 10 out of 5!
Rebekah Lockwood
On Swann is a foodie's piece of heaven on earth. My friend and I could not stop ordering food, and every dish was presented perfectly and tasted divine! The menu was written well, because every dish on it piqued my interest. We overindulged, and as I write this review, it is the next morning, and I'm still not hungry. We had the chicken liver mousse, kale salad, fig tart, and pork chop. They have become well-known in Tampa for this kale salad, and now I understand why. Our server was one of the best in the business. She knew the food well, and she was able to satisfy our curiosity about how ingredients were prepared. She kept our waters full. She knew when to check on us and when to exit the table. I can't wait to dine here again! Next time, I will eat a little less and save room for dessert!
Mr Fantastic
I feel horrible that I haven't eaten here by now. We sat at the bar and these guys are master's of their craft when it co.es to making drinks. A simple margarita turns Into an entire experience while you watch them place a twist on a classic. The food was amazing. Definitely among my top 5 favorite restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area. The lamb meatballs with grits are crazy good. A must visit.
Alexis Prieto
We absolutely loved our experience at On Swann! The wait staff was fast and efficient, the food & cocktails were phenomenal, and the ambiance was fun and trendy. I took my close friends from New York here, and they can’t wait to go back when they’re in Tampa next.

All around 5 star experience. Our waiter was excellent, knew the menu well, offered advice when asked, and was very personable. The food was amazing; everything we ordered exceeded expectations. I love a drink with a chili in it and they has two...my husband got the king of kings and it really somehow went through a variety of flavors when you took a drink. We got the farmers board and the scallops with risotto, and for dessert we got the bread pudding...I'm really not a dessert person and I was melting over the bread pudding. I would happily go back there for dinner multiple nights in a row.
Paul Jokiel
Loved it. Got the steak frittes. Everything was incredibly good. I didn't like the marrow, but I think that was just personal taste. I don't think I would have ever had marrow in any other setting, but they made it look appetizing. Service was excellent, reservations were held, no waiting... firm five stars.
Sami Laine
Found this place in an area that used to be “not so awesome”, but now has turned into quite nice neighborhood, good food and shopping.
I’ve enjoyed most of their menu, you can’t go wrong with any of it! Slightly upscale trendy, but prices are very reasonable for the offerings.
Lee
The food tasted great and the staff was very friendly. We did not have to wait for a seat and they had quite a few interesting menu options. It is a bit expensive for what you get but it's a nice night out.
Silviu Agotici
The restaurant had decent food, but it was a bit heavy and lacked a certain something to make it truly stand out. The flavors were okay but overall it was a bit underwhelming. The service was good in the atmosphere was nice but the food was just missing that extra spark. I would recommend this restaurant if you're in the area and looking for something decent to eat, but there are probably better options out there.

We went here to celebrate a birthday. They were great in accommodating us with bring our own special traditional bday cake along. We arrived ahead of the group and sat at the bar where we interacted with the bartender. He introduced us to a couple of new cocktails one of which “the paper airplane” I’ve added to my list of favourites!
The dinner was absolutely delicious! From the signature Kale Salad to the Hanger Steak & Salmon mains, you can’t beat the food here. The service, though polite, came up short on promptness and attention to detail. Having to ask the hostess to get a waiter to serve us, having to ask for water and serving food and not noticing that the person has no cutlery is definitely not cool. Hence 4 vs 5 stars.
Overall because of the food, it’s a NO brainer, we’ll be back. It’s worth the drive from Sarasota!
Daphne Howard
Bees in the Trap was a great drink! Lamb meatballs and not really Hot Chicken was on point. Short Rib had good flavor but the meat was a tad bit overcooked. Great service..I’ll be back!
Terra Rizzuto
Sure, it's a bit of a splurge, but who cares? It's amazing! Try The burrata toast you won't regret it! It's so fresh! Also my husband said the salmon he had was the best he's ever had in his life! My kids ate their whole kids meals, that says a lot because they never finish anything.
Emily Schulke
On Swann has moved to the top of my favorites list! My friend and I had such a great first experience. The restaurant is so cool and eclectic outside and inside and our waitress, Mallerie, was so friendly! The menu is simple but PACKED with flavor and fun ingredient combos - I had a grilled cheese with fig jam! We also tried their Zeppole with butternut jam, burnt honey, and ricotta... YUM!! Fun place, friendly staff, freaking awesome food - I will be coming back!
Marina Machado
ON SWANN is of my favorite restaurants of all time. I have been a returning customer since 2016 and have never had a disappointing experience. Chic decor is beautiful and I love the vibe when I come in to dine there. I really enjoy their seasonal items, but some of my favorite classics are: Scallops, Ribeye and Kale Salad. My husband loves their Pork Chop. I treated my friend from California by bringing her here and she liked it a lot as well. I have visited this restaurant for lunch, brunch and dinner on various occasions and it is a pleasant experience each and every time. Fantastic job from managers as their staff is always on point. Highly recommend this sophisticated spot!
Michele Torres
We went for brunch on Sunday. Service was as expected. This place has a college vibe though. I had a BLT and my hubby had the salmon dinner. We had a good experience, glad we checked it out but don’t think we’ll revisit.
Mikey Griesbaum
Really enjoyed this meal. Over ate at every step, but it was worth it. The building is really cool and in a great location. The foie appetizer is delicious. Mussels had a ton of flavor. Arancini were super good. The steak frites and scallop entrees were very good. Great service and good cocktails. Agree with other reviews that it is loud, but not a big deal.
theon thompson
We had a fabulous time here!! Chris and Brian took good care of us. They help make our night very exciting and rememberable. The ambiance and openness was inviting. The service was excellent. The food wash exceptionally delicious. They suggested cocktails that were very enjoyable. I would highly recommend checking this place out! Definitely more than once!! Thanks guys!! Keep up the great work!!

Chris Ponte, inarguably one of the top Executive Chefs in the bay area, has another home run with ON SWANN. Although they recently celebrated their fifth anniversary, their menu and level of service has never faltered. Pictured here, was our amazing lunch: a gourmet Cuban sandwich, truffle fries and tomato bisque. Everything goes better with wine. :) Today, Mallerie provided outstanding service- as did Nick, who was fresh out of training. Kudos to Chef de Cuisine, Chris Schelin. We eagerly await Chef Ponte's new concept to open in Midtown.
barry wirth
Food and service were excellent as usual. I would have given 5 stars if it were not for the excessive noise level in the restaurant....we could not even hear the couple we dined with. It was enough to make me reconsider going back.
K.Anderson Moore
Very good food. They do cater to vegetarian and gluten free diets (just ask). Their salads are amazing. We had a charcuterie board as an appetizer too. They didn't make my mojito right but did bring me syrup to sweeten it. My husband made a mistake ordering their large steak that feeds 2 to three people, so he had lots of steak to take home, but he said it was delicious though very pricey (over $100). The cauliflower appetizer was also good! I wish they would take reservations for smaller parties, because the seating outside was uncomfortable, given my tailbone injury and my husband being on crutches.
Maggie Dalton
Food wash great. Don’t pass on the bread pudding. The best was the bartenders though. Darius and Al are the best. Amazing drinks, always smiling and attentive.
Starnetta Cone
Please make a reservation. The food was well worth the wait. They do accept walk ins but to save you time make a reservation. Our waiter Gage was everything!!!! He made all my choices for me because I could not decide. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! To start have the hot chicken!!! Pictured is the hot chicken appetizer, short ribs pasta, Steak frites medium, bone marrow w/ chimi churri fries and side salad. Then there is a Kale salad Caesar salad with cashews with steak over medium. The area is awesome and it is a great place to walk around and enjoy the night. This your date night!!!
Jhael Hakimian
Nestled in Hyde Park, one of the cutest neighborhoods in Tampa. Great atmosphere, professional and friendly service, wonderful food. We had thier most popular dish - the Kale Salad; Salmon atop the best Israeli couscous I've had (probably because of the light curry sauce); the Grilled cheese crunchy, gooey, tangy and savory (blame it on pruciuto & fig fig combo they use) with pommel fries.
The Iced green tea is a must try to accompany your lunch.
Jasmin Cruz
I came to On Swann for the first time today, the arancini and the kale salad were so good. The service was the best part, the bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to meet the Asstiant GM Grant and he is such a nice person, so attentive. I will most definitely come back!
Dawn H
Meh. Super loud and became difficult to carry on a conversation with my date. The pasta in the short rib dish was way undercooked, and clumped in multiple big, hard balls. The flavors were decent but nothing spectacular.
Reezan Tabet
The food was delicious. I went with a big group and we ended up ordering almost everything on the menu. We all had our favorites. It was great.
Daniel Villa, AIA
We had lunch here- it was great. The bartender was very courteous and professional. And the food was really good. My girlfriend ordered the Kale salad and it was excellent.
Annemarie Christodoulou
Absolutely going to return. Great food, great service, great vibe. So glad Forbici said it was over an hour wait because it was so our win. Thank you Forbici for looking understaffed as you had many tables open. On Swann is where it's at.
Kim Kitchen
Logan was a very good waiter! He made sure what I ordered was gluten free. I love On Swann for lunch. A nice assortment of options.
Amanda Scullin
This is my favorite restaurant. So much so that my husband and I travel 2 1/2 hours from Naples just to eat here. Delicious food. The kale salad is amazing and the bread pudding is like nothing else!
Steven Schneck
Wonderful place to dine. Service was great, but the scallops were a bit pricey for the size. Bread Pudding was fantastic.
Coastal Storage
While on vacation in Florida recently my boss wanted to give my Mother and I an early X - Mas gift and sent us here for lunch . I'm glad he did !!! The whole experience was GREAT , we were greeted at the door and sat quickly , the manager came over and introduced himself and answered any questions we had and our waiter was the BEST we've both ever had !!! Needless to say our lunch of mussels appetizer ( again best and that's hard to say coming from a New Englander ) , chicken sandwich & sirloin burger for our mains were 5 star !!! My Mom only had a glass of wine ( driving ) but again our waiter Justin helped her in the right direction . I had my usual of Kettle One and tonic with lemon but I'm not sure what tonic they used but it was SOOO good !!! So good in fact that when Justin asked if we wanted desert I told him another of those !!! LOL So if you are in the Hyde Park area of Tampa do yourself a favor and try On Swann ... Thanks again to all that helped . I wanted to make sure that our waiter got the credit due I originally put his name as " Jeremy ", my bad , I work with a Jeremy !!! LOL
Victoria Stern
A very enjoyable night with the family for the holidays!
Skipper M
Good dinner. I'll be back
Oliver Cozzi
It's a 5 star restaurant but you get -1 for choosing not to have changing tables in the male AND female restrooms when there is clearly plenty of room for them. Also bad form not training your front staff to inform people with young kids on entry.
Pamela Koenig
Another chef Ponte creations. It’s very popular and using the valet parking is a wise decision. Our server, Todd, was super! He was very helpful and carefully guided our gluten intolerant diner to make the best decisions. The food was excellent as expected, but I hope he changes the menu with the seasons or offers a couple of specials to avoid food boredom. ThaT was our only problem with his earlier venue, Cafe Ponte, which lacked menu variety. Still, On Swann is outstanding.
Saeyoung Kim
Best espresso martini in town. Amazing service here - ask for Brad!
On Swann is the prettiest restaurant in Hyde Park in my opinion. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner!
Food Incógnito
On Swann! There are 2 main reasons people go out to eat: because being in a hurry or they are looking for a place that cooks better than they can. And On Swann is the latter; they can cook! Every dish was amazing. We tried the different courses below and I can honestly tell every one of them were delicious. The chef and the whole culinary team know what they’re doing. The service was really good and worked as a team. Definitely I’m returning and I’m letting all my friends know about On Swann. Enjoy!
Elizabeth Espinoza chaves
Great atmosphere, tasty food, with good staff.
Blanka M
First time in Tampa and a colleague of mine suggested this place. We had a great time. Our server, Orlando walked the extra mile to be sure that we had a good experience. The arancinis set a good start up, followed by the scallops with Brussels sprouts were all very delicious. The portion was perfect to leave some space for the super rich chocolate cake with a bit of an orange kick and the bread pudding. I really liked that none of the desserts were too sweet. Julius meinl tea and coffee are served and I have not seen that brand for a while so it was refreshing to see that.
I appreciated that they did NOT bring straws without even telling them. You do not need it.
The place has a good vibe, the music was nice (maybe a bit too loud). Overall highly recommended!
Ps there cocktails are also worth to try ;)
Nancy
one of the best brunch experiences. chris if you’re reading this, you’re amazing. literally made a dinner reservation for the same day as we were eating our food.
Brittany Valente
The kale salad and crispy chicken on top was the most unique and delicious thing on the menu. I’m not typically one to order salads but it was amazing. Also the pimento cheese dip was perfect. Great service too!
Zack Russo
The pork chop was extremely tasty, foie gras was just ok, carpaccio was interesting and the mustard added was odd, the roasted chicken was also good. If you like super rich chocolate cake, this place has an extremely rich moist option.
Kim Wilson
Good food and service in an industrial modern atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a bar area for seating and a restaurant area with both high and low top tables. The inside has high ceilings and no real walls to absorb sound so it can get loud inside when it's busy. The lunch and dinner menu's vary but there is a good variety of dishes. We ordered the burger and the BLTA with pomme frites. The food came out quickly even though it was pretty busy and it was hot and fresh. The bacon on the BLTA was done just perfect, not to crisp and not to soft. The burger was done just as requested and the pomme frites were crispy and hot.
Kayla Lien
Delicious food and ambience. I came around peak hour (7ish) and had to wait for 45 mins. But they have a text system so I just walked around the shops in the area. I had the oysters, lamb meatball and fig tart for starters. They’re amazing. I would really recommend either the oyster and lamb if you only want one starter. The cobia risotto was good but I would say the starters are way better. The cocktails well made and were awesome. Keith was my server and he was great. Service is great! Would recommend anyone to come if they are in the area.
Kelsey Padilla
Girls Night Out for 2!
We shared the: Pimento Dip, Kale Salad, Pizette & Hot Chicken. WOW! All of the dishes were amazing. This was my second time there. We shared a ton of starters & apps and we had no room left for the Pizette! Everything was so delicious. They were definitely busy on a Saturday night but we were seated at the community table and did not have anyone sitting directly next to us. The service was great! Our server was attentive and kind.
Patricia Nielsen
We travel to Tampa because we wanted try this restaurant. The trip was completely worth it. The service, the food, the dessert, so flavorful.
Matt took care of us and he was incredible helpful with his suggestions about the whole menu. The number one was de Kale salad with a delightful champagne dressing. The second, the Bread pudding with a white chocolate sauce and a bourbon syrup, is the best kept secret.
A whole experience!
Ammi L. Collado
Came here with two girlfriends. Everything we had was awesome. The service we had was even better! I'll definitely be back.
Camille Wynter
On Swan is the white tablecloth version of a place to get a next level grilled cheese and tomato soup. The kale salad was excellent. Large enough to split with a friend. And service was superb. We will be back.
Patrick-Julian Q. Fulgado
We've been wanting to eat here for weeks but knew it gets packed and wasn't in Open Table. So to our surprise On Swann started two new things as of typing this. One, they're on Open Table. Two, they're serving lunch now (At least on the weekends). The ambience is similar to what a lot of these new modern/rustic places have been looking like. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and had good recommendations. The Saffron Arancini reminded us of fried mac and cheese ball but with rice. The chicken sandwich was simple but very tasty. The potato chips it came with were very crispy but not oily at all. The Heirloom Salad was fresh and healthy. Heads up on it, it's literally all tomatoes just different types. The Blueberry Cobbler was a good mix of sweet and tart and was topped with a vanilla gelato. Finally, my Honey It's Thyme was a refreshing Bourbon based cocktail. We're definitely returning here for a dinner meal.
Caro ParG
The food was delicious!!! The portion and the quality of the food were excellent and Everything taste amazing. Pumpkin soup was spectacular. Kale salad is a must. Steak frites with a bone marrow on the side cover with chimichurri was very well done. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and the service was good.
Hyacinth Burrowes
Nez was our server and he was great! Very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was absolutely incredible as well. I can't believe it's taken me so long to dine here. I really recommend the farm box, the beet salad, and the steak frites. The steak frites comes with this amazing Cabernet butter and chimichurri dressed bone marrow 🤤! …
Jessica Winford
Very cool atmosphere, good food and servers soend their time reviewing the menu and helping you make the best decision.
Lamb meatballs were tasty, especially the polenta they were with.
I've had better bread pudding - probably wouldn't order again.
Whipped ricotta corn dip - I couldn't get enough!!! So good.
Fig Tart was good, but hard to cut and eat with all the green on top.
Steak Frites was cooked perfectly and very tasty. Bone marrow was Devine - especially with the Frites. Although I wasn't a fan of the shallots-cabernet butter.
Hot chicken was good, especially with the honey flavor to counter the spiciness. Very tender she crispy.
All together an enjoyable meal! Would recommend reservations or getting there early as it filled up on a random Tuesday!
Tyrone
"On Swann" is one of the many upscale dinner options in Hyde Park Village.
While eating their trademark burger (made with dry aged beef, pimento cheese, crispy bacon, pickled red onions and an aioli sauce), I saw an order of pork chops cross my field of view. It was love at first sight. While the burger was excellent, I was excited to come back and try out their pork chop entree.
Fast forward a few weeks and I returned to eat their signature pork chop: a double chop with apple mostarda, hazelnut, acorn squash, green beans, and a side of white mill grits. It's perfection.
During my pork chop adventure, I saw yet another dish come across my view for which I have to return for a third time to try. For those looking for a fancy place to splurge for a celebration or anniversary or just to treat yourself, On Swann is a good $$$$ category candidate.
Carolina Reyes
Love the brunch! Smoke salmon was amazing!
Russell Horton
Fairly trendy restaurant with tasty food. The decorations are modern and the food is superb. They have unique beers and great coctails. I would come back as I really enjoyed this place.
The prices are also reasonable considering the quality of the food they served.
Kayla D
I visited with a group of six who dined on the patio right after opening and we were quickly seated. This was my first experience and it was great! Their hot chicken was amazing! I ordered the Short Rib and my husband ordered the burger. Their Short Rib was a unique dish that was a mix between stroganoff and roast- it was amazing! Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal and I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were. We will definitely be back!
Brian K
Nice chic place, very upscale, some people wearing suites and jackets. A bit loud inside but everything tasted amazing. I recommend making a reservation, even on a weekday.
John Bhisitkul
For me, not as good as its reputation. My grilled cheese sandwich with fig jam was nothing special. The bread dominated a little too much with a bit too hard crusty graininess to it. I found the ambiance so so. Service was fine. The crowd was toward upper scale trendy. Price was I guess ok. Menu was fairly limited. I liked that they overfilled my glass with appetizing looking ice cubes.
Allie Serrano
The food was delicious. Yum! A little too loud but I enjoyed the experience nonetheless ☺
Sean Ward
Excellent choice for dinner, limited menu but high quality dishes, wine list is weak but there are some gems...
Charles Thompson
What a great spot to take a load off. My wife and I decided to have a few drinks after seeing a movie at Cinebistro.
It was a Saturday night and busy, but the hostess was able to seat us outside. The weather was amazing. This is a great community to spend a night checking out the shops.
I ordered a house special old fashioned and my wife had a glass of wine.
The old fashioned was an interesting twist on my favorite drink.
We were full but decided we needed to try some of the food in this place.
We had the deviled eggs and tuna appetizer.
The deviled eggs had bits of bacon and what appeared to be bits of arugula. There were 5 halves. Tasted great.
The tuna was great. Had a great flavor and great presentation. I thought is was a rather small serving, but I was full and it was plenty.
Gabriel was our waiter. He was very attentive and seemed to know the menu.
The only negative I can think of was the machinery on the other side of the street. It was a little annoying, but obviously not the restaurant's fault.
Check this place out you'll love it.
Hanine Abdel Rahman
Hello Vacation, Hello Summer, Hello Brunch! What a beautiful location, inside Hyde Park, On swann is the perfect spot to enjoy whether on their terrace or their beautiful interior, a great meal. The service is super friendly, and the menu has options to please all tastes. We picked while munching on the fresh bread basket Mushroom toast: roasted mushroom over sourdough bread and topped with a fried egg, tasty and great portion Kale salad without bacon and corn: the fresh touch to our brunch Omelette with hollandaise sauce which pleased my Brother in law wonderfully And the kids were more than happy with their crispy chicken tenders and fries. I would love to be back soon! La Petite XoXo On Swann 1501 West Swann Avenue, FL 33606
Nathalie Cecilia
Everybody was very nice especially Sarah our waitress. The ambience is very cool and the food delicious. The white chocolate bread pudding is a must!!!!
Azarette Diaz
Loved!! Made a rez for galentines day on a friday@11:30
Never been before. Super cute location and interior. Very busy! Loved our salad with salmon and kale.
Charcuterie was really filling.
Our server was the nordstroms of servers, he was the perfect person for a splendid girls brunch
Great selection of cocktails and vodka
Definitely will go back for date night with my husband. Been craving this salad every day since!!
Karina Perez
Place was nice. Salmon was cooked to perfection. I was not a fan of the couscous though. The kale salad was our appetizer .
Sierra Newman
Our server Andrew was one of the best parts of the experience. The food was superb. We sat outside which was a nice counterpoint to the noise inside. It's very rare I cannot think of something that didnt go the way I expected but that's how my experience at On Swann was tonight.
Joanne Showalter
All of the Food is amazing but you must try the kale salad! Fast and friendly service! I’ve been 5 or 6 times! The most quaint place in Tampa!
Jeff Coleman
This is a great place to eat! The food and service were both top-notch from start to finish. My steak was perfectly cooked, and the meatballs and onions rings were everything I could ask for in an appetizer for our dinner date night. You can't go wrong when ordering either--they have something that will please everyone at your table (even those picky eaters). Their prices are reasonable given the high-quality ingredients used... We will def be back! 👍🏻
Suzanne Green
Enjoyed a delightful brunch. On Swann is a beautiful chic space without pretension. The hostess staff is friendly despite being incredibly busy. The cocktails were made with a balance of marvelous flavors and the right amount of alcohol. Annmarie was our server and she was outstanding. We were neither rushed nor waited for anything. I had delicious mussels and my wife was delighted with her chicken sandwich. I will put this on my list of best in the Tampa area
Brooke Bentley
I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about my experience! Staff, food, atmosphere, and company met in house was amazing! Can’t wait to make another trip to Tampa to visit again 🙌🏼 …
Elena Jones
Great service, delicious farm to table dishes, we will be back!!
Gregory Blair
Have eaten here several times and enjoyed everything, other than the brussell sprouts left a bit wanting on that. But make no mistake they serve fantastic food. Most recently, I had the beef carpacio and chicken tenders. The beef was fantastic, possibly the best I have had. The tenders were not at all what I expected, they had a great crust, very juicy, and the dipping sauce was amazing..these are not your normal tenders. No dessert this time, but have had their bread pudding and it is a must if you have room. I sat at the bar and service was great. No complaints from this customer.
Alina
This is the 2nd time I’ve been for lunch and it was wonderful! The cocktails are incredible and the waitress and kitchen were very accommodating to my gluten free diet. The first time I had gone I was not gluten free and the charcuterie board was fabulous. This time around I got the kale salad, truffle fries and BLT with tomato soup and it was all delicious. Highly recommend!
Guillermo Quiles
First time in Tampa Florida and this restaurant is wonderful. Good customer service and exquisite food. I recommend the pork chops. Incredible flavor and texture of the meat. Very good variety of drinks.
Nancy Kelly
We were in town for a visit and ate here for brunch. I had food envy of every entree delivered nearby. I had the delicious BLT and my hubby had the awesome chicken sandwich. We had the famous Bread pudding which was the best I've ever had!
Thomas Vieira
Our friends recently showed us this restaurant & absolutely raved about it, we totally understand why! We went for my birthday dinner & everything from the food to our amazing waiter Brad just made the night perfect. Highly recommend the Hot chicken & pretty much everything else on the menu! It’s become the new favorite spot & we can’t wait to be back
Taylor Kopydlowski
Seriously unreal! The food here is expertly crafted. Flavors were on point! Haven’t had food this good in a long time or ever… ambiance is very upscale. Definitely wear something nice or you will stick out. We will be back for brunch!!
Max Wenneker
One of the best meals I’ve eaten in a long time. Amazing kale salad, scallops, and bread pudding. Highly recommend this place!
Nina N T
Really pleased with the service and food. I can not wait to try this place again. Drinks were made with thought and credibility. The only thing I did not enjoy were the fries. The mahi mahi could be less salty.
Elizabeth Hughes
We are visiting from Orlando. On Swann was as wonderful as promised! The food was delicious and the service was delightful! Great atmosphere!
Damian Brooker
Busy joint With Great atmosphere.
Food was amazing.
Knowledgeable staff that offered good advice.
Mark Albert
Friends & I hit this spot on the fly & were not disappointed! What a friendly & helpful staff! I kind of went nuts with the drinks but I couldn't help it. Awesome cocktails! And the food choices were on point. A great spot for the family or friends. Stop by for a pint.
Andrea Noriega-McCarthy
I’ve been by this spot before a quick bite at the bar so I decided to come back and sit down for lunch. I know this place is recommended by Michelin guide and what not but it’s simply “alright”.
The drinks are reasonably priced, the Swangria coming in at $10/glass - not bad. Nowww let’s get to the starter. We ordered the cheese board which included 4 varieties of cheeses…cheese mongers, do not hold your breath (and eat your cheese before arriving). Because the portions of cheese served on the board are about an ounce each and feel like they need to be rationed amongst the table. It served with accoutrements (AKA 5 almonds, 2 dates and a single dried apricot).
The salads here are tasty though so if you want something light but tasty this isn’t a bad spot. Staff is nice and friendly too!
Ferhat “ferhattongel” tongel
First time visit. We enjoyed atmosphere. Our waitress Madi recommended some foods that we really ENJOYED. She really know what she do. Thank you!
Duaine McDonald
Love this place. We had apps and a couple of mains. The hot chicken is shareable and to die for. Brussel sprouts and salad were amazing... And there's a secret kids menu.
Michelle M. Cook (Mimico)
We barely made it in time before lunch cut off but they were so kind and accommodating and let us order. I had the salmon with couscous. It was delicious. Salmon perfectly cooked.
Carmin Horner
Had the blackened salmon substituted on the chicken salad. Was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. The appetizers were okay, the chicken had a flavor I wasn't a fan of, but that is just a personal opinion.
Karen X
My husband and I had a wonderful meal there. We started with "foie gras butter fig jam truffle financiers" as appetizer. It was absolutely delicious. It came with a small jar of foie gras butter with a layer of fig jam on top, and 4 small pieces of financiers. I literally finished whole jar of butter, which may not be so wise to do considering all the grease sitting in my stomach before I even started the entree. The two entrees (pork chop and scallop) were amazing! It's not easy to have two WOW dishes for both of us at one time. The pork chop was tender and flavorful (maybe because of the part of the meat connected to the bone?). The scallops were very tender too. It went so well with the creamy sauce, roasted Brussels sprouts, fried kale and bacon bites. This is definitely one of the fine restaurants to go in Tampa with very reasonable price.
isabell vazquez
Brought my boyfriend here for his first time and had an amazing experience. For one our server AnnMarie was amazing! She was so knowledgeable on the menu and checked in on us the perfect amount. I even asked her to pick out a drink for me and she chose the perfect one. I would one thousand percent ask for her as your server when you come in. Overall food was amazing and the rest of the staff worked together well to clear our table and bring all drinks/food.
Gean Austin
Upscale casual restaurant. Noisy/chatty acoustics, which made it a bit difficult to carry on a conversation, but manageable. Most of the patrons are young to middle age. Lively, bright atmosphere with open kitchen.
Excellent food, wait staff, food runners, and management. Dishes are served tapas style, hot, and with good presentation. All of the dishes are fresh and have distinct flavors (verses just salt and pepper). You may not exactly agree what the chef is making, but you can tell what he was going for. A nice touch is whenever a new dish is placed on the table, the presenter describes the dish. A very fun culinary experience.
Service is excellent, servers/food runners/manager are very attentive, informative, polite, and competent. Servers are quick to anticipate your needs. Dirty dishes are removed in a timely fashion so as to not overcrowd the table.
Note, the tables are small and you sit very close to other patrons.
Overall, one of our favorite restaurants in the Tampa Bay area.
Halley Cotton
Had to wait for a table but the waiting area was nice. Food is a little pricy but everything tasted good. I had the scallops. They came out slightly over done. However, the meal had great flavor and I was pleased. Service was great. The bread pudding was so worth it and was served with a four roses bourbon sauce. Also, the cookies were gigantic. Overall a delightful experience.
Cory Kloter
2nd visit sat at community table in order to get seated asap. No complaints at all about the service. Really great food and drinks! I posted the menu on the “updates” tab
Darren Plateroti
This place has wonderful service, great food and the atmosphere is exactly what we needed for a vacation. Prices are on par as well.
Well done
Winfield Huang
Good food with high quality ingredients and service was top notch! Good interior, but busy.
Elizabeth Hinkle
The kale and pork chop taste divine. They are the stables and the icon items on the menu. Must tries. The restaurant is nestled in the corner of Hyde Park shopping center, an outdoor mall with mins away to Tampa bay ocean walk in south tampa.
Cheyanne Richert
We loved every bite of food! Incredible! We came in on a whim and sat at the bar. It was a perfect experience.
Brigitte Ferdinandsen
This was my first visit, shame on me for waiting . An epicurean journey that will be travelled often. My recommendation is to try everything!!
Jenn S
Aside from our server being a little bit too excitable and interrupting our conversations multiple times throughout the meal the food was delicious the atmosphere was very good and I highly recommend this location I will definitely be here again
Nancy Mery
Food was wonderful. My 13-year-old daughter and I loved the food, and she even said it was her favorite place ever!

Wonderful! The food makes me think of a Parisian restaurant, but there’s more light and space here than in Paris. The bread pudding is to-die-for. I have tried breakfast, lunch and dinner here, and all of it is fabulous. There’s an adorable patio and the whole vibe is rustic-swanky. The service is excellent and very fast. Love this place! Apparently, the owners opened another place in Tampa called “Oak and Ola” which I also can’t wait to try.

Food was OK. Setting was nice. Beer was good, but the waiter had no idea what the rotating draft beers were. Not even one. No offer to go find out.
Jeff Strange
Very good food and service. New York style seating which some may consider tight and loud but I enjoyed it.
Mark Price
This place is one of the best restaurants in all of Tampa! The food, the staff, & atmosphere are simply awesome.
We come here every year & each time it only gets better.
Come to Tampa & make your way here for one of the best dining experiences around.

I really want to give this place 4 stars, but can’t. Staff is very attentive and courteous. Food & atmosphere was a small disappointment. Nice, but really non-descript and extremely loud. Definitely not one of the best places to eat in the Tampa Bay Area, but not terrible either. My girlfriend and I started off with the cheese board which captivated our minds and melted our mouths, but we found it to be lacking the most important part – cheese. A 25$ cheese board should have a lot of …well, cheese. Our server was wonderful and helpful; she talked us into starting with the cheese board before making final decision on main course, which proved wise. While lacking a lot of cheese, the board had plenty of things to nibble on and we were well on our way to being stuffed by main course ordering time. We both decided on the Hamburger, both medium well – no pink. Our original selections (Chicken & Pork) we thought were too much for our stomachs. To our surprise the burgers were undercooked with plenty of pink and greasy. I think we both went from 4 stars to 3 at this point. As wanna-be food critics, we were actually surprised at the lack of it all. My girlfriend kept relating her experience to that of a Carrabba's. The more I think about it, the more I think she is right. I had a Mai Tai which I found to be a delightful surprise. The fries were overcooked, but still good.
Overall I think we both found On Swann to be a well marketed hipster place that we enjoyed visiting, but have no future plans to visit again. As for recommending this place, I am on the fence. I enjoyed our night out, and we had been dying to try it, but felt like one of 10 other high-end restaurants around the area would be better in the future. If you want the hipster badge of “I went to this place” than I think you will not be disappointed, but if you want to indulge in some of the best eating around, On Swann is definitely not the place to be. Hope this helps your stomach.

Beautiful atmosphere and fabulous food. Service is top-notch as well
Adam Gerber
Superb service and delicious food. Great for brunch!
William Torres
Superb excellence at its best. This place never fails. Well balance kitchen and flavors. Maybe some of the best drink in town. The mussel to die for. Polenta cook to perfection. The waitress know everything and beyond. Can’t wait to go again
Laurie
On Swann is great for lunch with a friend. The service was attentive and pleasant. The ambience is spot on. We sat outside which was great. We each had a salad. I had the chicken salad and the greens were so fresh. My friend loves the kale salad. Reservations for Sunday brunch/lunch are definitely recommended.
Asim Imtiaz
Everything about this place is impressive. The atmosphere, service, and food were indeed out of this world. I can happily say the burger and bread pudding was delicious and perfectly prepared. Special thanks to Justin for his fantastic work and hospitality. I will be coming back soon.
Don Rugraff
Excellent food & ambiance, indoor & outdoor eating options, bar with great drink & wine selections, great service-Trina, prices reasonable.
Angel Truong
Love this place. The kale salad is actually something I been dreaming and craving about. Definitely 10/10 recommend.
Hilary Wyatt
When we are in Tampa we make it a priority to eat at On Swann! The food is excellent, the staff very attentive and the atmosphere is great too!
Vlad Avril
Celebrated a friend's birthday party. This is definitely a good atmosphere for groups of people to enjoy good beverages and food
Eva Straube
Great food and service in a lovely neighborhood. The waitress was really friendly and made me feel comfortable although I was dining alone. Would recommend to anyone who is in town by themselves (on business).
Caroline North
Beautiful environment, delicious food, fantastic drinks, but the most exceptional experience of the evening was our server VINCE. Vince was so attentive to a friend who has a garlic allergy, he acknowledge my daughter with whom we were celebrating with a special cookie. Our evening was wonderful catching up with great friends, but Vince attentiveness to our needs and wants was so pleasurable. Vince you made me want to return to OnSwann, and I will request you.
Jenny Hoey
Absolutely delicious! Great service and decor! Cannot wait to go back and try the crab omelette!! Also the Mediterranean Board is a must try!!!
Margaret Hehir Kleinschmidt
The food was delicious but the highlight of the dinner was our amazing waitress, Sarah! She was poised, gracious, knowledgeable about the menu, and accommodating to my dietary restrictions. Thank you, Sarah, for making our anniversary dinner special!
Dan Mazur
Fantastic experience, service was phenomenal, food— even better!
Jonathan Vincent
Outdoor seating was nice, service was great. Food was mediocre and really overpriced (possibly not their fault given the state of economy at the moment). Beers were crazy expensive, literally could've bought a 4 pack of the same beer at the store for less than the cost of 1 at this place. Fries, meatballs, frittata, burger, 2 coffees, 4 beers, 1 mimosa, tip = $170
Kelly Krupick
The food is amazing and the staff treat you like family. Atmosphere is great and it is for all ages. Young to seniors. Will definitely return
Tanya Lawrence
Beautiful bar and ambiance. Lunch walk-in proved successful; good food and drink.
Jay Wright
I had the blt with truffle fries. It was a tasty and enjoyable lunch. I will definitely be back.
Jonelle Samuel
Giving this 3.5-4 stars. Had the Gnocchi dish but it wasn't as expected. The starters were great. There are vegetarian options available
Thuquynh “Tinamachina” Dinh
The grilled oysters were to die for and omg the bread pudding was so delicious. I want to go back.
Chris Grassmuck
Tasty, friendly and yummy
DEENA VON YOKES
We had a lot of fun trying their drinks, pasta, and steak! It was a breath of fresh air to eat in a restaurant and feel normal for a change due to the fact we are from California “The Shutdown State.”
Karen Vogter
Fun place to eat. Good drinks & food. Lovely wait staff. Enjoyed our afternoon. And very dog friendly!!
Marta Kizyma
Love the new menu! Carpaccio is delicious, as well as arincini)
Susan K.
Hip atmosphere. Service fair. Food- hit or miss. Cheese board was overpriced, especially since one of the few small pieces was basically just the rind. When I pointed it out, the waitress did bring a replacement piece of cheese. Lamb meatballs were ok, but on the dry side. 3 companions had the pasta with short rib ragu and enjoyed it. Wrong cobbler was delivered, but good. Bread pudding was delicious.
BH
Our server, from PCB area, was PHENOMENAL. His appreciation and love of both food and beverage was contagious. He never skipped a beat or made us feel rushed. Bravo to him. The manager was very kind but no lasting impression. Now, open air kitchens are beautiful and fun BUT we hear and see everything. That's their only downfall. One of our dishes needed to go back and both server and the manager were kind and understanding about it. As for the chef, we clearly understood his opinion about having food sent back. Simply, the food wasn't cooked to the guest's liking and it doesn't matter what that liking is, the chef shouldn't voice his opinion where any guest could hear. That's unprofessional and the only reason they won't get 5 stars. Yes, the manager was standing there as well but didn't stop it either. I'd go back but if it came between here and trying a new place, just from the negative comments regarding sending our food back alone, I'd try the new restaurant.
Eric Loche
Splendid atmosphere and service. Unique menu items to choose from!
Jenna White
Kaylee was great!!! Deff recommend the Brussel sprouts. So addicting! Great ambiance and Kaylee did a great job .
John Schmitt
What can I say.....perfect. We loved everything we had. Incredible service. Very up scale. Almost as good as Circles in Apollo Beach.
Adrian Cervera
My Server (David1) Rocked!! All his recommendations were Delicious!
Eddie Murgasen
Delicious food, and amazing cocktails! The restaurant is always packed, and for good reason. The only down side were that the high top chairs were not comfortable at all (metal seating with no real back support). I still give I 5 stars because I’m not rating their seating, their food is perfectly seasoned and hard to not finish all of it. Definitely recommend to all types of “Vores” (Omni, Herb, Carni).
KAT MONTY
Awesome atmosphere.. great food and drinks
Beef Carpaccio my fave
arugula | pickled onions | aji amarillo aioli | parmesan | truffle oil
RH
Very tasty food and attentive service. Especially enjoyed the kale salad and yummy chicken appetizer. Bread pudding is a hit too. Had to ask for bread and tables are a bit small and close together but otherwise it was a great experience.
Luis Valencia
One of my prefer places for a nice Friday evening with a variety of food so good you wanted to try all of them and then you get to go all the time since they vary the menu from time to time with delicious new plates.
We got the experience to be personally serve a few plates from the sous chef JAVIER and the server BRAD who really were fantastic explaining every detail of each plate and drink
Great service great food !!!!! Beautiful location
Darla Ludwig
The waitress was very attentive and very knowledgeable. The food was absolutely amazing!
David Harley Hensler
Dined here for special occasion. Food was delicious, timely, and priced appropriately. Drinks menu was varied and inspired. Only gave 4 stars as the place was very crowded and almost had a European dining feel - which normally would be welcome, however - for a special occasion, a more intimate feel would have been appreciated. Will return.
Samantha Leoni
The food here was delicious!! So so good!!! I got a burger but it was better than any burger I've ever had. My boyfriend got the steak with the truffle fries and oh man those babies were goid!!!
Ashley Powell
Second time coming here and it's always a treat. Great food, great service and dog friendly patio! I would highly recommend to bring any out of towners if you want to wine and dine them !
Eva Maro
Enjoyed the meal and ambiance. Kyle the waiter made some great recommendations and we all had a great time. Only thing is I’d love to see more diversity in the front of the house… all people of color seemed to only be in the back of the house. Tampa is diverse and the waiters should represent the same diversity as the patrons in house, no?
Catharine Seal
What a great place. Excellent food. Swangria was delicious! Our server Amanda was the amazing! Would highly recommend:) Oh and don't leave without getting the bread pudding!!!
Gabriel C. Perez
This is a lively and bustling scene. The food is tasty, inventive, and beautifully presented. The staff is obviously well trained. Sara greeted us warmly and was accommodating to my elderly aunt's special needs. We received outstanding service from Skye. Thanks to both of these congenial ladies. Overall, a lovely and satisfying evening out.
Korean Dee
Absolutely love this place. We came for brunch after church. This place is a must for anyone!
Alison Fields
The food was excellent, as was the service. I arrived with a reservation for an early dinner and thoroughly enjoyed everything. I do believe that the food experience for this price point is a little underwhelming, but everything was delicious!
Gabriel Perez
We had a very enjoyable dining experience at On Swann.
We were warmly greeted at the door by the hostess, Sara. She remembered me from the conversation we had when I called to make our reservation. My elderly aunt uses a walker to get around so Sara led us to a table that was easy and convenient for her.
We were served by a delightful young lady named Skye. She was so attentive and helpful with our menu choices. Our food arrived freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The Ragu was yummy, my Steak Frittes was perfectly cooked for my taste, and the Roasted Cauliflower was the bomb.
We lingered at our table with coffee after dinner feeling relaxed and satisfied. We will definitely return to On Swann on our next trip to Tampa.
Travis K
I went here with my Mom for lunch. Everything was delicious. Taylor was lovely and very helpful. She has a great attitude and wonderful energy and she made our lunch special. Thanks Taylor! Travis
Miguel Noy
This restaurant has a great environment and good service. Even though we sat at the bar, he had a good time and ate great food. I highly recommend the pork chop. It was cooked & seasoned perfectly. Highly recommend making a reservation before the restaurant opens because it does get packed sometimes.
Patrick Mulloy
Really enjoyed this place! Food was outstanding in every way. Cocktails were perfectly made. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It’s pricey but worth it. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back here!
Valerie Scafoglio
Great service, food and cocktails. The kale salad, mussels, carpaccio, maple old fashioned and bread pudding are really all you need in life. But if you’re still hungry after that, everything on the menu is good!
G Bay
Delicious food, I had the short ribs with the hommade pasta and it was soooo good. The server was so sweet and very attentive and she did a great job. The food and drinks were pretty slow coming out because they were so busy and parking was tricky trying to find a spot on the street.
Jackie Lesser
Awesome atmosphere, great energy, fun drinks, fab food, fave new restaurant in Tampa! Service was outstanding and Chris Arreola spent quite a bit of time at our table listening to what we love and sharing his passion for the restaurant, the food and the folks that he gets to serve every day.
Ellie Bilodeau
20/10 would recommend On Swann. My husband and I both have pretty complicated food allergies (he is celiac, so GF but also nut free, and I am gluten and dairy free) and On Swann’s staff was always knowledgeable (we ate here twice because of how happy we were) and they were able to accommodate us no problem. He has their burger with a gf bun and said it was one of the best burgers he’d ever had, even including the regular burgers he’s had before being gluten free. The presentation is great, wonderful wines, cute atmosphere but more than anything the food was fantastic. Highly recommend this restaurant while in the Tampa area
Emily Harris
Amanda, our server, was absolutely wonderful. She explained the menu perfectly and directed us toward dishes we loved. The food was spectacular, the foie gras financiers are always perfection, and the beef carpaccio was even better than expected! Amanda made the best drink suggestions and was a spectacular server, the evening could not have been better.
TampaGurlie
Amazing! Great dining experience. The rib eye was PHENOMENAL.
My Lam
Very good food! Casual dinning! I love the taste of their steaks! Amazing and professional service! Good dessert!! Reasonable price!!! Very friendly and outgoing. Shareable options. Organic, clean, and fresh. Recommend to visit here!
Updated:
I came here with my boyfriend for lunch and it really changed. I ordered the steak for two, medium rare, but our steak came out burnt and bitter. Our server was so busy running around that we got ignored. The food was okay and the level of customer service was not there. Very disappointed. Also, the parking spaces is very limited. Hopefully it will be better next time.
John Kurtz
Great food and fantastic staff! Skyler was awesome.
Beverly Grandison
Awesome customer service. David was a wonderful server. Food was good and I could alter menu for vegan options.
Taylor T
Love this place! The staff is attentive and makes sure you have everything you need! The bar staff is on point and gelato is delicious!
Daina Horner
We thoroughly enjoy this restaurant!!
First of all, the customer is intrigued immediately upon entry. The decor is excellent and inviting, making the experience additionally welcoming... All senses engaged!!! The staff and bartender go above and beyond to make this eating establishment an unforgettable choice.
The tricky part of and restaurant for vegans is a delicious food experience. Often restaurants are sub-par with the final product. For best results, call ahead and let the cook know you're vegan. Adaptations to the menu are doable. We had roasted cauliflower, roasted Brussels sprouts and roasted mushrooms in a pasta dish. I can't stand cauliflower and barely appreciate Brussels sprouts. No longer. I'm a believer that these veggies are truly delicious!!!
The wine selection is excellent, pricey but excellent. Cabs are fantastic. Our company enjoyed the mixed drinks and martini.
Everyone should try On Swann at least once. It won't disappoint!! Just come after payday. Expect to leave with $40 per person, them add drinks and dessert.
We'll be back for certain!!
Mark N
This was my first visit to On Swann based on a recommendation. I had an idea of what to expect and came here for the Steak Frites. I was NOT disappointed. The flavor was exquisite and perfectly cooked. My wife had the short rib pasta and I loved the bites I stole. Our server, Sammy, was perfect. She was attentive, funny, and made the experience one to remember. I will ask for her specifically in the future. If I had one complaint it would be that the drinks are a little pricey. Overall, I look forward to my next visit.
Brett Williams
What a great restaurant, amazing menu and service. Worth every penny!
Stephen Chewning
Sat on patio with great service and food -Cobia, Pork chop, Kale salad were very good. Cobbler for dessert was ok - definitely willret
Ashley Tipton
I love the food and drinks but tbh what prompted me to leave this review was how sexy their website is. Very, very aesthetically pleasing.
Matt Hall
Have to give this place 5 stars, such a good time every time we are there. Great atmosphere, awesome food. As much good things as they have, it's hard for me to walk away from the Grilled Cheese with a cup of tomato soup!
Tricia Jordan
Had a reservation but still waited 25 minutes. They did right and offered a cheese plate. The menu is very limited and they were put off some but the food was delicious, especially the kale salad and mahi. Amanda was AWESOME.
We Are Movers LLC
We dined here for my Bday dinner Saturday night and it was a great experience! Short rib pasta, Lamb meatball, Olives, Flavored craft drinks and two shots of Clase Azul Reposado Tequila! Would definitely recommend and will absolutely visit again.
Ashley Moss
My husband and I stopped yesterday just anticipating getting drinks! We had an awesome bartender Josh who helped me decide on an awesome cocktail and told us about the dinners specials. My husband and I were blown away by how delicious the cocktails were and the food...we kept ordering! Josh was super attentive to ours needs and made our time there absolutely amazing! We loved the food cocktail and the service was absolutely amazing! Thank you Josh and On swan staff! Cannot wait to go back
Kenson Adelson
Great food and ambiance... the hot chicken and kale salad are the best thing on the menu. They keep me coming back. The burgers have that weird gamey taste.
Lindsey Olivia
Came to On Swann for a birthday dinner. We were early for our reservation but got seated right away. The man who seated us walked us through the menu and gave us lots of recommendations.
I tried a specialty cocktail, the walnut maple old fashioned, and it was delicious! We got some items from the appetizers section of the menu, and they came spaced out so we could enjoy each of them on their own. That actually great because we got the tuna and chicken fingers - an unusual combination if they had come out together! My scallop entree was perfect! Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday dinner. They surprised me with a dessert with a candle in it, too.
The staff there was incredible. Very friendly and happy to help. It was such a great night!
Jaquelinne T . Morales
Awesome service from Matt, Al, and Skyler. First time coming here and the food and service left a great impression. Cocktails were on another level. Thanks, be back soon!
La Shawn Ames
Hyde Park village has always been one of my favorite places in the Tampa Bay area, so having the opportunity to visit On Swann for my birthday was a treat! The restaurant was easy to find and off street parking and complimentary parking is available in the deck loacated at the cross street of Oregon and Swann.
The restaurant has an industrial yet chic decor. The space was used wisely and there is also outdoor seating available. The staff is prompt and super friendly, the food was very simple, delicious, and reasonably priced. Most importantly their bathroom was clean! Last, after you finish your meal , right around the corner there are plenty of retail shops to peruse and there's going to be a new Nike store right across the street from the restaurant.
I highly recommend On Swann.
Herb Gold
We sat outside and Food and Service were excellent.We had eaten here previously but two in our party had not, so the server took time to tell them about the restaurant and menu which is interesting every time we hear it. The Mussels, Fig Tart, Rague, and Scallops looked and tasted wonderful. Yes we shared each!
Lucas Rubinstein
Exclent dining experience.the chicken sandwich is truly delicious. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and friendly wait staff though it can be a little loud inside. I recommend the outside tables.
Rebecca Allshouse
Having recently moved to Tampa, my sister (who's been here for years) has slowly be introducing me to all the great places the area has to offer and man was On Swann a treat. We went for lunch and it was comfortably socially distanced, we choose to sit up at the bar, and I was happy to see all employees wearing masking and compliance among the patrons as well. The atmosphere was gorgeous, loved a lot of the decorations and ambiance and lighting. Service was top notch and Gabe handled our food and drink order, taking time to answer any questions we had. The food was delicious, we had the pimento cheese dip and Gabe so kindly provided us with extra chips, the zeppoli's were sweet and flavorful with the ricotta and honey dip and then I got the butternut squash soup which was heavenly. I was told my my sister, and Gabe, that the real treat was their dinner pork chops so I'll definitely be making a repeat visit to try that. Great place and I highly recommend!
Nancy Shaffer-End
Fabulous food and they have Blanton's bourbon! Kyle, the AGM, went out of his way to make sure this was a memorable night. This was my first visit to Tampa, but it will not be my last and I will be sure come back here!
Antony Dalton
I don't leave many 5 star reviews, but On Swan was outstanding! The service and food was fantastic. The place was very busy (on a half hour wait) but our waitress was attentive and the food came out hot and promptly. Only complaint is that the restaurant is very loud inside.
Brendan Holb
Before coming into town I knew that this place had hype for being one of the top kitchens in TPA. I called before hand to make sure we could be accommodated (2). We arrived at 7:30 before the 8:00 walk in time as nicely advised by the hostess. The worst part about the dining experience was watching 4-6 dirty tables sit empty while we drank and laughed about the availability for over an hour at the bar. The bartender was awesome, poured heavy, and eventually walked over to see what the heck was taking so long to wipe down the table (thanks for actually getting us in immediately no less!)
Like I said, bar was awesome. They seem pretty crafty in the cocktails with some of them being invented in house by the employees. I was also told that the ginger liqueur was homemade but didn't get the chance to try it. Give it a shot next time.
For food, I ordered the pork chop and my date ordered the burger. She said the burger was good but fries were cold. Kind of what you would expect for fries at 9:00 at night no blame there. What was extremely disappointing was watching all these picture perfect double chops come out only to recieve a single chop. The server said it just weighed the same so it's the same but that wasn't the point to me. I can cook a single chop but a double was definitely worth the 30$ for me to try without messing up that difficult cooking. Unfortunately, I'll have to try it again at the next steak/chophouse. Kale salad seems to be the go to on the menu at this place just from the volume observed coming out of the kitchen on a Monday night.
Julia Vi
Though ambiance was very pleasant and they had the most unique PB&J BEER,
Burgers were very dry and quite burned actually, after we asked for medium.
Abigail Rivera
Amazing food, service, presentation, atmosphere.. I can go on! Had our client dinner here and Jena was SO GREAT in helping set a prefix menu. Our clients loved it. We loved it. And I cant stop thinking about the bread pudding 😍 Thank you!! …
Robert Steeg
Some of the most delicious dinner and drinks in Hyde park!! But what made the dinner so great was our server Amanda! She is an absolute rockstar and made sure we had an amazing night! Kudos to you Amanda!!

Undoubtedly one of the best Lunch spots in Tampa! Farm to table concept , fresh ingredients and vegetarian options ! 1000% recommend
Miguel Echeverria
Long wait to be seated, warm beers, meats not cooked as asked.
Devea Goss
Had a lovely evening. Food was good. The staff was very accommodating.
Circe Barrios
Awesome menu! Love the chicken and muscles.
Keith Huska
High end food, and Fabulous service! We were not sure what to expect, but we're so impressed with everything about it. From the daily fresh hand made pasta and the freshest fish, to the top quality Hanger Steak . . . An experience well worth the trip!
Anthony Gibson
Amazing restaurant! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was modern and chic. Great spot for an anniversary dinner or hot date night. Service was A+
Val Beygel
Rikki provided great service, we'll be back
Onel Abraham
Had the most amazing experience, our waiter Gary was knowledgeable and so friendly he recommended some on the most memorable dishes iv had in a while. We had the mushroon toast, chicken sandwich, the salmon which is to die for and had it with the kale salad. To finish off we had the bread pudding. I sincerely believe that anything you order from this place will knock your socks off. Oh and to drink we had the white sangria will get you feeling good quick! Highly recommend this place for a great time with friends and family.
Jeff Charette
Our server Chris was fantastic, great suggestions for food choices. The food was absolutely awesome and kale salad was huge and delicious. The bread pudding and flourless chocolate cake were phenomenal! Wish we lived locally so we could go back again!
Amanda McClintock
I celebrated a birthday here and had a wonderful time! Food was great and our waitress, Amanda, was the life of the party! We would love to return and will certainly be requesting Amanda again. Thank you!
Daniel Mazurovsky
Always a great experience at On Swann. One of my tried and true places to take visitors new to Tampa, or just grab a bite to eat myself!
Solomon H Howard
An artistically delicious meal. Great ambiance in the restaurant, with an attractive and distinctive aesthetic. Attentive service, and very tasty cocktails as well! The fig tart and scallops were special highlights.
Yevgeny Veksler
My wife and I went here for dinner last night as we hadn't been back since the pandemic started. We're certainly happy we made our way back. Everything we ordered was fantastic from the wild mushroom toast, the aroncini, the beet salad (best dish of the night), the fig tart, the hot chicken, and beef carpaccio. We ended up taking our Mahi and dessert bread pudding to go. Service was exceptional and we wanted to give a big shout out to Sarah for her attention to detail and awesome personality. Thank you for an excellent dining experience!!
Rusty Carpenter
Did not take any photos but restaurant food and service are excellent. Located in the Hyde Park Village area of South Tampa. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Reservations recommended.
Chris Smith
Best dining experience I have had in a while. The food was excellent, especially the kale salad and the bread pudding, as a lot of other reviewers have mentioned. Our server Trina did a fantastic job of recommending items and making sure we felt well taken care of. Service was very on point but still had a relaxed feel to it. There are plenty of higher end restaurants where the service is so stiff and formal it's almost overbearing, but that was not the case here. The following day my wife was already planning the next trip back.
Laura Wendt
This is my favorite restaurant in Tampa. The food is creative, fresh and delicious. I had an asparagus soup, scallops over pureed carrots and a chocolate cake with orange marmalade that was Divine and left me thinking about it for days. I'm also a huge fan of their freshly baked bread. Me mother in law has sorry ribs that she said were perfectly seasoned and delicious. My husband's meal was a light pasta dish that was savory and again perfectly made. The wait staff is superb! They work together as a team and no glass is left empty and plates are removed quickly. The atmosphere is lively and they seem to attract a hip crowd. You won't go wrong eating here.
Aylen Labriola
We love Olivia, so we decided it was a great opportunity to check out On Swann. Sadly it wasn’t the same experience. The pizzette was extremely sweet it was bathed in honey, completely out of balance, you couldn’t taste anything else. The zeppole had no salt, the dough was amazing tho. The burger, same story, no salt no flavour at all, not even the fries had salt! We saw the table next to us complaining about the same thing. The dessert on the other hand was a delight, just amazing! And also the server, Maddison, she was a gem, made the whole experience better.
Roger O'Neill
Very fast, very good, Justin was the best server I've seen in a long time.
John Schultz
We sat outside on a Friday night. Service was great. It was crowded and busy. Food was excellent. We had the burger, the scallops, and the steak. Plus we had three appetizers. All were excellent. I had desert (gellato) that was yummy. Our server was prompt and attentive.
Robert Medina
If you are ever in Tampa Florida I highly recommend On Swann. Great food and atmosphere.
A Garcia
Everyone at table got different food and we all loved it. Craft cocktails and beer. Expensive but that's not surprising based on location and quality.
Ivan Virovets
Great service, good food. Drinks are strong and tasty.
That being said, a little timid with the steak. Steak was good, but they seem to err on the medium side when I asked for rare.
J G
Great dinner menu and nice selection of wines.
Jacqui Prusik
Simply amazing! Went in for lunch and had a fantastic meal with equally as impressive service. So fresh and delicious! I had to have the kale salad after seeing it all over their social media profiles, and it more than exceeded expectations! Good portions. Upscale surroundings in approachable surroundings. The pimento cheese is not to be skipped, and I would 100% recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a fresh, quality meal!
Chelsea Taylor
This is a case where our experience went from terrible to absolutely immaculate! We love this restaurant, the food and service has always been excellent, which is why i reserved dinner for my husbands birthday. This particular night started out surprisingly bad, our waiter, who shall remain nameless, got EVERYTHING wrong! I’m not exaggerating when i say this. Within the first 15 mins, he got 10 things wrong with our table from forgetting several things ordered (drinks and appetizers) and when reminded about them, the response was as if he was hearing about the order for the first time. Took everyone’s order but mine, forgot several things we asked for, when i finally ordered my appetizer i never got it, i could honestly go on about how bad it was but this is suppose to be a good review. I have never thought of myself as a complainer or a “Karen” so to speak. But this was honestly not a night i wanted to be ruined from the waiters service. We chalked it up to him having an off night and possibly sick… but here is where it all turns around, i went to the hostess and asked to talk with the Manager for a min. Josh, our savior, came over. I just was honest with him about our experience so far and we had only just put our entree orders in and that i had never requested this before but we would like to ask for a new waiter. I told him everything and he heard me out and was very surprised at what i told him. He appropriately met with the waiter and ended up sending him home for the rest of the night and personally took over all his tables. Josh was literally a night in shining armor! It turned out to be the best service we had ever had at on swan, he was so attentive, very personable and just really made it an experience for us. (We really are not hard people to please)
I could not be happier with how our dinner turned out. Josh handled a lot on our bill which was completely unexpected and so appreciated and we gave him a good tip which he really hope goes to him!
We are business people and all very successful and this was such a refreshing experience to see a manager so professionally handle the situation and decide to take the negative and make it into a positive, we will absolutely be back time and time again! Josh, know wonder you are the manager! Very well done and we can’t wait to be back!

An incredible culinary experience in a fun setting. Every single dish brought out was cooked and spiced to perfection. Our server Johanna brought a fun energy to the table and her recommendations were outstanding. Highly recommended
Andy's Adventure
Really loved the experience and the food was great, drinks were top notch, and everything all around was great. Management is also really understanding and I appreciate the help I received after finding glass in my Rare tuna. I’m a server myself, I get things happen and you guys handled everything great but I’d just like to say someone in the future might not be so understanding…. I literally found glass in my tuna which I bit down on…. Personally I don’t know what to say that would help that from not happening in the future. But I’d just like to say your restaurant is great, and I respect the team you have there.

We had the apple pork chops (so good!) and the burger. Definitely would return, great date night spot.
Kevin White
Had lunch here. We enjoyed our meal on the patio. Service was great. We loved the environment. Everything we tried was excellent.
Al Beatty
Nice array of creative choices on the menu and a sleek atmosphere make for a very good experience. Inside gets quite loud (overly loud) when house is full thanks to the acoustics of the space but if you choose to sit outside during good weather it is a great options for a more intimate meal. Service is professional and on par with where it should be at a restaurant of this level.

We have close friends who have often suggested we go here but we’ve discouraged the choice because of their all meat menu (fish meat, pig meat, cow meat). Nevertheless, we finally went. Imagine our surprise when, on hearing my wife’s requests our waitress told us of the two Secret plant- based meals!! All of us at the table agreed that her roasted vegetables in a sauce dish was Scrumptious!
WHY is this a secret? Eating healthy is being discouraged? There are lots of folks besides myself who want this food (during its trial run 90% of people who ordered the Impossible Whopper were meat eaters).
Debra Palmer
Great food, great service, nice place. If the Fall Squash soup is on the menu, get it, every time, soooooo good.
Amanda Logue
Delicious. We skipped the main course and just kept ordering from the appetizer/small plate menu. Everything was wonderful and the waiter gave us very accurate descriptions of everything we ordered to make sure we were getting what we wanted. The wait staff had a great teamwork vibe and several servers were involved in delivering food and bussing plates so we never had to wait long for anything. My cocktail was also wonderful. My husband's cocktail was very spicy (he liked it, but it wasn't my cup of tea). Great chic vibe, but as others mentioned, it is quite loud.
Zachariah Friesen
The atmosphere is so very fun. Cute outdoor seating, open and homey indoor seating. Adorable. The food was really great. We got 5-6 small plates and nibbles and they were all out of this world. The mushrooms above all tasted otherworldly. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.
Go. Enjoy.
Thofa Silva
Excellent everything, from food to atmosphere. Great place.
Dionna Williams
All I can say is... On Swann restaurant has a swank eloquence modernist appeal. Me and my fiancé very first visit and we loved the waiter food choice selections, he was highly informative were impressed tasting spectacular flavors!!! I’ll definitely recommend this place to anyone we felt so welcomed here, for a moment thought I was in my living room chilling enjoying scenic indoor views!!!

Came for brunch on a Sunday. I had the French toast, although I had it with no bananas and no Nutella, as I can’t stand either one. It didn’t need all that in my opinion. It was delicious with just the maple bourbon sauce and pecans. We also had some fries which were good but the best part was the chocolate chip cookies. I have no idea how they make them so thick. They were warm and delicious. I really liked the atmosphere here. The weather was nice so we sat outside.
Ludwing Villamizar
First time visiting. Came highly recommended. Food was outstanding!
Marcus Finley
We had a fantastic dinner here, with amazing service and an amazing atmosphere. We got the farm board and the prime rib dinner.the farm board had an array of delicious cheeses, mouses and jams. The prime rib was phenomenal, cooked and seasoned perfectly with the most amazing onion rings.
Valerie Jacobs
Food and service were both outstanding! Super cozy environment, very aesthetically pleasing, and great for dates, friends or family. Everything came out cooked to perfection and was delicious. Our server, AnnMarie, put the experience over the top. She made us feel very welcome as first time guests. She was very knowledgeable of the menu, and very helpful when we asked her for wine suggestions. We’ll definitely be coming back again for this amazing experience!

Easily becoming my favorite go-to for amazing food, drinks and great staff
HP IslandHouse
Consistently Amazing food and energy! One of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Tampa. The food is amazing. Everything I have ordered is delicious from the scallops, to the kale salad- which is a favorite of many- to the steak served with bone marrow and French fries! The bar area is lively, service is perfection, decor lovely. 💫💫💫💫💫 …
Roberto Martinez
Our favorite restaurant in Tampa. Upscale, excellent gastronomy, and most importantly service. The manager Lindsey is outstanding. We keep coming back.
Yazan Abuodeh
Nice place, great food and seating for breakfast
Liz A
Food was delicious (I had the breakfast biscuit and their crispy chicken sandwich). Waitress was pleasant. HOWEVER, the hostess was rude to us upon arrival to the restaurant. And, she sat us at the communal table at a spot with extremely bright sunlight beaming straight into our faces. It was uncomfortable to even look up to talk to my partner the whole time (there were many other empty tables available in the shade the entire time we were there). Also, that communal table has extremely uncomfortable chairs. They do not conform to the contours of the human body. My partner and I were sliding off our seats the entire time and couldn’t relax to enjoy our meals. It was a shame because the food was great.
lili031202
This was my second time here and the food was as great as the first time! The steak I ordered was juicy, tasty, and cooked perfectly. The fries and salad were also delicious. The atmosphere is great, decor is nice and simple, and the place is spotless. Service was phenomenal as usual. Amazing food for a great price. Best restaurant in the Tampa Bay region.
Chakrapani Prakash
Mouth watering vegetarian dishes: carrot ginger soup, cauliflower on skillet and beet salad. Coffee was awesome. Will definitely visit again. Parking across is very convenient.
Sarah Jordan
Went here for a date night last night. Our server Gage made the experience for us. He is what every server should be. The food was amazing too. We had the zeppole (the corn dip is addictive) their fries, my husband got the pork chops (in his words, he could’ve lived in the apple sauce on top. Also the grits were incredible!) then I had the lobster Mac special. It was loaded with chunks of lobster and had a light taste to it. Lastly.. the strawberry/blueberry cobbler.. in our servers words, “tastes like fruity pebbles” if fruity pebbles had real fruit and an amazing crumby topping.
the only downside I would say is it was really loud and slightly crowded with the seating which caused me to get bumped a few times by some servers and people trying to get thru.. a few times our server had to walk away when we were ordering just so people could leave.
Overall though, the food and the service would definitely bring us back.
Peter Cappello
Decor was great. Server also great. My reviews tend to be food-centric and I was somewhat disappointed with the Ribeye, more on the M-MW when ordered R-MR. Farmers plate was pretty good but the toast given is difficult to handle without it falling apart and the homemade pate was left wanting for flavor. Overall a decent experience, but the food was not worth the money
James Anderson
Finally made it to On Swann and really enjoyed dining there for our anniversary. The service was great and our server Nicholas went above and beyond to please us... especially after he found out about our anniversary.
The atmosphere was cool, the decor is great and most importantly the food was delicious. Everything that we ordered was cooked to perfection and the main dish (short rib pasta) was to die for. The wine was good too and they seem to have a descent wine and cocktail selection.
I can't wait to go back and will with no doubt recommend to friends.
Elizabeth Vicario
Great service (and the squash soup was delicious) but I don’t think the prices reflect the atmosphere or location. It looks like a regular restaurant and the other food we ordered was so-so
Teresa Davis
On Swann is a top 3 favorite in Tampa for me (and many of my friends)! The food, service, cocktails and atmosphere are consistently impressive. My must-order dishes are the farm board, kale salad, mushrooms, short rib & hot chicken although, I've never had a bad meal there ever. Great wine selection as well. I look forward to dining here every time!
Brianna Kelly
The ambiance at this restaurant was amazing! It is a very classy restaurant right on the corner of Hyde Park Village so the location already speaks for the restaurant. The menu had great variety and everything I ate was delicious. Perfect for date night or an evening out with friends.
Lillie Betts
By far the best food we have eaten in our life! Our waiter Brad was so personable and made the experience that much better! If we ever come down to Tampa again On Swann WILL BE a stop!
Ray Soto
I'm in town for a short visit. I've never been to Tampa so I felt like exploring. We tried to get a table at two other restaurants and were told to expect an hour wait - even when I made an open table reservation. I don't live here so I used every opportunity to move to a new location. Which brings me to On Swann.
This place was a pleasant surprise. From the moment I pulled into the lot, the valet was out going and very personable. I stepped into the packed restaurant and asked for a table knowing we wouldn't get seated immediately but something felt very different than the other restaurants. We decided to order a few cocktails that turned out to be well worth the trip alone. Dinner far exceeded our expectations. The staff was amazing - I always appreciate honest recommendations. Long story short, I loved my dining experience!
I don't know when I'll be in Tampa again but I'll be sure to drop by the next time I'm in town.
Rolf Brekken
Upscale casual place. We sat at the bar for a bit, the local elephant foot IPA was nice. Dinner was good. Service was excellent. I had the hangar steak which was delicious. My table mates had halibut and the pork chop, which also looked very good and I heard no complaints. The place was busy but efficient. I would go back.
Leeshy
We had an excellent time at On Swann for an early Valentine's Day dinner. We made reservations for 9, since that is the best they had when my husband called 3 days in advance, but we got there 45 minutes early and they were able to sit us right away. The decor was rustic and beautiful, very well done. The menu was small, but everything we tried was delicious. For appetizers, we had the arrancini, fig and prosciutto pizza, and the zeppole. Everything was well done, but we most enjoyed the zeppole, which were savory and out of this world delicious. My husband LOVED the rice balls. For our entrees we had the short rib ragi - mine, and so good! The husband had steak fries, also delicious. For dessert our superb server, Vince, recommended the profiteroles, and boy was he right on the money. Yum!
We wanted for nothing - Vince was on top of his game, and there was no shortage of managers making sure no one went without. We had an excellent conversation with Kyle, the manager. He was so funny and personable, if he wasn't working we would have invited him to sit down and eat with us!
In summary, On Swanns food was a major win, but their service and friendly attitude is what will keep us coming back. All the way from Clearwater.
Lillian DiCarlo
Fantastic service from our server Holton. Cocktails took a long time to arrive even though the restaurant was pretty dead. I had the chartreuse one, my husband had the negroni, which was extremely watery, i guess cause it was served over ice, which seems an odd choice for a negroni. The rice in the arancini were the wrong texture, but otherwise good flavor. The farm platter was probably the best thing we ordered. Wasn't wild about two of the cheese selections but otherwise delicious. We were pretty full at that point but decided to order small plates anyway. My husband had the fig tart, which wasn't a tart at all which surprised us, it was more like a flatbread or pizza. It was ok. I ordered the lamb meatballs. The risotto was ok, some of it wasn't fully cooked and was crunchy, the flavor was good. The meatballs were over spiced and difficult to chew. I wouldn't return for dinner but would consider for lunch.
Shaun S
Great selection of whiskey and plenty of bourbon to choose from for the enthusiast. Great shareable platters to divide amongst a group and tasty appetizers. Staff is friendly and we were seated immediately after arriving on a Sunday evening when things are busy.
Anna Hall
The restaurant, service and food was on point with all the great reviews I read before dining here. Our server Matt was attentive and had great timing the entire evening. We shared the oyster starter, my husband had the snapper special and I had the short rib pasta. Spectacular!
Johnny Simmons (Johnny)
I thought the food was very good, went with a couple and we ordered two or three appetizers before our entrees. The appetizer that stood out most was the Hot Chicken. Really really recommend that one, but they were all good. The service is quick and is good.
For us, being three and immediately sat next to a window (I think we had a last minute reservation though), the noise level was fine. And probably is tolerable for most of who goes there to dine by the looks of it (25-45 year old young professional types who probably live in the Hyde Park/South Tampa area), but it is LOUD. Don't go for an intimate date, even though the menu is perfect for such. Don't go if you hate loud restaurants, or being around that kind of crowd in that kind of [good but expensive] restaurant.
Overall I definitely recommend it, but the chances of you having a dinner that you fully enjoy is higher if you are hearing about it and/or are invited to join friends there, rather than if you go to eat at restaurants based on online reviews.
This was a place where the couple I went with, who live two blocks away, knew half the place. They are 27/30 years old. That's about all I can say to that point, but heed it.
Sebastian Sallot
Disappointing experience. It was my birthday two days ago and we chose On Swann because it's been great in the past and they had outdoor seating. To start, the restaurant was packed, much more than allowed by local regulations due to COVID. They sat us next to a party of four within 2-3 feet. We ordered shishito peppers and our drinks off the limited menu. We asked for bread and butter for the table while we waited. Time went by and we ended up asking 3 more times for the bread over the next HOUR. When it finally came we received the end of a loaf cut into three pieces. It had been an hour and the waitress hadn't even asked for our entree order, yet she quickly stopped by the table of frat bros behind us when another one of their friends arrived to take his drink order, while ignoring us. As we sat and waited, we watched multiple orders get delivered to wrong tables, the kitchen staff looking confused, and a manager getting frustrated. At that point we asked for the check. A manager was kind enough to apologize and comp the check and offer us a coupon for a return visit. We quickly called Bern's steakhouse, which we somehow got a reservation, and even ended up getting our favorite waiter. The On Swann service staff were pleasant but super inefficient and the restaurant staff as a whole was a hot mess to say the least. Advice going forward, don't choose this place for special occasions, leave it to professional restaurants.
tammy mintert
Overall the food and wine were good. However, we had a reservation and we were seated by the kitchen. We asked for another table because we saw other tables available. The hostess would not allow us to sit at another table. It was very loud with kitchen noises and servers passing by us. The restaurant was already loud due to the open concept. It was difficult to hold a conversation and even the waitress had difficulty hearing us when placing our order.
Andy Delk
Great place. We order a ton of appetizers and skip the entree all together. We've had it all basically and it's all very good. Service is excellent and the cocktails are great, but a little pricey for what they are. I highly recommend visiting!
Aleasha Mascarenhas
The Pizzette is requisite!! We also got the steak frites and the sirloin burger. For drinks we ordered three cocktails - the one with carrot juice was the best, seriously you won't regret it!
penguinogames “penguino”
The service impeccable, the food delicious but the bread pudding and scoop of ice cream are best around town.
Michelle Saunders
I have only had the opportunity to eat here at lunch and brunch and the food was fantastic both times. The atmosphere is cute and clean and the food is full of flavor. We did try to go for dinner once as their website indicated that they take limited reservations and are mostly on a first-come first-served basis, however we were turned away when they stated that they had reservations for the rest of the night and couldn't take a walk in (this was about 7pm). I'm hoping that we can eventually get in for dinner some time because that menu looks great too!
Kevin Poitras
Great food and atmosphere but at a price. I live in the neighborhood and although I have heard from others that On Swann was special, I just got around to trying it. The pork chop was outstanding and the grits and vegetables delicious. Wine selection was extensive and the decor is bright and open. Just be prepared for the cost....great for special occasions.
Ko S.
This is an awesome date spot. Very chic. Service is top notch with experienced wait staff. Food is great, prices won't break your bank too much if you are familiar with the locale.
wendy lynch
Love this restaurant for so many reasons. Excellent food and service with a great relaxed atmosphere. But then they go above and beyond! We live an hour away so this is our go to place when we pick up someone from the airport. Was there in May with my sister and although everything was great we had a small hiccup. Her salmon was abit uncooked in the middle and so just asked the server to take it to the kitchen to cook through a bit more. Instead, they make her an entire new dish. However, it took almost 15 minutes and by the time it came she was not hungry anymore and I had finished my food. We simply asked them to wrap it up for us and instead the manager came over and apologized profusely and then proceeded to take the meal off our bill and give us 2 comps for meals whenever we liked. Unbelievable and totally unnecessary. Today my husband and I came in for the 2 meal comps and what happens, the manager comes over and is so attentive and sweet and then comps us everything except one dessert. This is first class customer care and although totally unexpected or necessary highly impressive and appreciated. I am so sorry I do not remember the managers name but she was the same person from May and could not have been more professional or attentive. Thank you On Swann, you run a great business and it is clear the owners know what they are doing. We will be back again and always recommend you to people looking for a wonderful restaurant experience.
Emily G
I dined for lunch at this darling little neighbourhood spot. I am visiting parents from Colorado - as my mother is very ill. I ended up talking to the waiter who was like an old friend. I felt completely at home, sitting outside on their beautiful patio. I had the BLT, (w avo) French fries and a side salad with light lemon vinaigrette The food was absolutely outstanding. I forgot how perfect a BLT can be!
Marinna Barros
I cannot say enough good things about this place! It is beautiful, everything is delicious and the service is fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend the Arancini, the beef carpaccio and the bread pudding. They also have their own version of a Moscow mule and OMG!!! So good!
Mary Gambrell (MaryMakingMoves)
The service was amazing and the food was comfy! Ask for Quinton 🥰🥰🥰
scott meek
On Swann was nice. Good location at the end of the Hyde Park shopping district. Bright open space with indoor and outdoor seating. Engaging staff provide a very pleasant dining experience. The menu is not overwhelming; there are many solid menu choices that are presented well and taste great. Definitely a fine dining experience without feeling like you're in a swanking place.
Katie Hatch
What a fabulous dining experience! I sat at the bar, which was filled with locals. I can only assume that the very full restaurant was also full of locals. On Swann is the sister restaurant to Oak and Ola.
The cocktails and wine list were stellar. The menu was perfectly curated to highlight seasonal, local and creative takes on classics and new ideas. The execution of each dish I tried was beyond on-point, and the service of each plate showed how much care each staff member takes to make a connection from kitchen to patron. Highly recommend!
ROBERTO A Martinez
A most delightful place. The service was great, the management very attentive to the clients, the food delicious and elegantly served.
It was a very pleasant lunch.
Ayona Perera
Cobia ... It’s really good. I really liked the drink “Walnut Maple Old Fashioned”.
Pauline Sherris
Reminds me of dining in Sydney. We went on a impromptu date on a Friday around 8 and were seated quickly. I had the Steak Frites aka crunchy delicious fries. I asked our waiter to crack some pepper on mine. The oysters were so flavorful and he loved his burger. There was a small error on our bill but they were quick to correct it. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to return for Happy Hour.
Dave M
This had good food with an upscale kind of trendy vibe. We had good service and enjoyed our lunch
Robin Hart
Service was excellent. Had the omelet and it was good. The donuts were fabulous.
Joey Colarulo
Went here for Saturday lunch. Everything was exceptional from the service to the entrees. The kale salad was perfect and the chicken sandwich bursting with flavor. The hummus board was also so unique and very well presented. Our server Dominic was as professional and experienced as can be. I'll be back for dinner.
Norberto Velez
The food was excellent. Great service.
Frank D
I came in with my wife on a Tuesday night to celebrate our anniversary. Our experience was incredible. We asked our server, Trina, for all of her recommendations and her knowledge of the menu was beyond reproach. She made our anniversary perfect from the wine, appetizer, dinner and dessert.
The ambiance inside is relaxing but still has a modern feel. The bathrooms are clean and you can't beat the location.
If you are in the mood for great food and a fun night, I highly recommend On Swann. Be sure to ask for Trina!
Locke Birbeck
This sounds funny, but I LOVED the kale salad! The hot chicken had amazing flavors with a sauce on the side that was wonderful! No worries... the chicken was not spicy. I almost didn’t eat here because the menu looked boring but WOW I’m glad I chose to stay. I may have missed out on a nice dinner, upbeat environment (without being too busy) and a comfortable place to relax after a long day. If lived closer, I would return on a regular basis! “On Swann” was “On Point”!
Jeff Laade
We had an amazing experience at On Swann... the food was fabulous and our server Vince was outstanding. Extremely attentive, and went beyond to accommodate our groups needs! What an asset to have him on the On Swann team! We'll definitely be back!!!
Ghena Matouk
My favorite place for lunch. Chicken Salad is delicious.
Michelle Collins
The first thing I want to point out is that the service is amazing. Our server, Lauren, was extremely attentive, funny, had some great recommendations and overall just made the night for us. On Swann would have been a very solid 4 stars in my review, but Lauren pushed it over the top for us. Of course, the food was also amazing
Jacqueline Vidal-Paiva
Wow Amazing Food, Atmosphere and Service. My new favorite! I've been to other places that are just expensive and the food not that great! We sat out on the patio and I loved the ambiance. Servers were freaking fantastic. Our server explained the dishes and was funny and Very attentive. I wish I could remember his name, possibly Hispanic & looks like he works out, he's been there since they've opened. Thank you
Lionel Ramirez
Very good service, we tried the chicken and sirloin burgers both were good the chicken was tastier. Definitely will come back.
Robert Peters
Never a disappointing meal. On Swann delivers consistently great meals prepared from the finest seasonally available ingredients. My wife and I have been several times for birthdays, anniversaries, and the like and this is my go-to restaurant for impressing clients. The wine selection of extensive and reasonably priced given the Hyde Park location. The menu changes frequently but the charcuterie board is always there and a must try; fair warning, it's huge, almost a meal for two, do go hungry.
Sarah Kimbro
Love their food for both brunch and dinner. You also must try their coffee☕️ The best coffee I’ve ever had!
Alyssa Nieder
We had an awesome experience for our first time at On Swann. The atmosphere was really cool and comfortable no matter what your attire. The service was impeccable. Gary made sure we had everything we needed at all times, made excellent recommendations, and was friendly and attentive without being intrusive while we were on a date. The apps and entrees tasted great, the wine and cocktails were delicious, and the freakin dessert... well dang. That was one of the best banana bread puddings I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back!
Xstina M
Our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was delicious but the bar was out of numerous of the most popular vodkas which was disappointing ☹️
Shannon Stephens
Found the food underwhelming for all of the hype, but the service was great.
August Bo Tao
Popular Restaurant, good food, noisy inside 🎉😀 …
Roger Faucher
Great server (Liz) and sampled lots of dishes; all very good! Chicken sandwich was very big and tasty.
Julius Melero
Very good Americana food. Nice atmosphere.
Terri R
Servers were wonderful. Food could have been better. Roasted brussel sprouts weren't very roasted. Were mushy. Pork chop very over cooked even though we asked for rare.
Marjorie Stephens
We have eaten at On Swann several times. The atmosphere is always very nice. Wether you are sitting at the bar or a table, the service is excellent. On Swan has a really nice wine selection and full bar. Food is always very good with a divers menu that offers something for everyone. Reservations are a good idea on weekend nights. Great food with a great ambience. The menus is well balanced and can be eaten Tapa style if you want. We have never had a bad experience and the service has been awesome. Definitely a great option when looking to dine out in Hyde Park.
Sherman Harper
Went to On Swann with my Fiance and her Family from out of country and out of town. We all loved it. The food was amazing the ambiance as well as the service was on point. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fine dining experience. Proper wine technique etc.
Sam Naish
We were greeted at the door after jostling with the dirty plebs for a parking space for the Landover. Reginald, my Malamute, had to remain outside which was reprehensible given that he's an arctic dog, but that's the price you pay I suppose for eating with the rabble. I was pleased with the selection and got the butternut squash soup and steak. Both were delicious, and to my standard. I had one of the serving girls take a bowl out to Reginald as you know he gets hot in the sun, he is after all an arctic dog. Overall not bad for a restaurant that you must share space with people who might not own a private jet.
OK jokes over.
But for real though, served by Zach, who is a boss server. Food came out on time, hot and together and this rich old bag had a great time.
Tigrita Morgan
This was our first visit to On Swann. We decided it would be a g place to celebrate my birthday. Upon entering we noticed it was very cold inside. I was so glad I brought a sweater. We were seated promptly and the wait staff was welcoming and pleasant. Ambiance was a little loud but fun all around. Highly recommend Amanda as a server and the Kale salad to share.
Chandra Burkett
Service and food here is amazing! I can't wait to go back One of the best old fashioned cocktails I have had in awhile.
Bryan Royer
It has been a while since we went here but the Ribeye we shared has not been topped since. It may have been the good selection of local craft beers they had that made it seem so good but the presentation was top notch as well. The appetizer was unique and delicious. We we're too full to try the deserts. The service was excellent.
- If you want a good steak in Tampa try the Ribeye. It is large and expensive so sharing is suggested and expected by the staff.
Anna Buczynsky
I love this place! The staff has always been really friendly, and the food is great! It's definitely pricier, but that's to be expected at an upscale restaurant in Hyde Park. I recommend the kale salad, the burger, and the scallops. They are all amazing, and the kale salad and burger aren't that expensive, in comparison to the rest of the dishes. The kale salad (if memory serves me correctly) is $10 (and really big, we eat it as an appetizer for two) and the burger is $14. (again, if I remember correctly) All very good, and well worth it if you're wanting to go to a nicer restaurant! It's definitely a bit loud though, which is it's only downside.
Geoffrey Beaugrand
excellent experience every time and this weekend was a highlight. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and at the end of the meal I was offered a tasting of a few rums from the manager who shared a passion of rum. Always a pleasure.
Caitlin Morgan
I will definitely be back here I went for my birthday last weekend and had an amazing birthday dinner. The staff are very nice, great atmosphere .
Dante K
Great food and drinks and superb service
JJ R.
To start off the staff was amazing, from the moment we walked in until we left. The food was great, perfectly sized menu to not overwhelm. But this place is so loud I couldn't even here myself think let alone have a conversation with the group I was with. I wish I could knock down just a half star but I can't. So to wrap this review up maybe see if they offer take out.....
Chelsae Fisher
Phenomenal dining experience! Loved the open kitchen setup and the unique decor. The servers were great and very knowledge. Portions were a very good size and well worth the price. Enjoyed all 3 courses.
Kristina O'Halloran
Amazing dinner! Bread pudding and berry cobbler were amazing. Service was impeccable.. We will be back!
Hamid Kashani
Wonderful atmosphere, service was excellent by Andrew who was wearing a nice smile at all times. The entire team made us feel good for being there. Some of the food dishes were too little and others such as chicken were a lot more than one could handle. We plan to go back there again and again.
Shawn Harden
Great food and atmosphere, and accommodating to young families! The staff is amazing, caring for your every need! Appetizers are delicious, the salads are fresh and creative, the cheese and meat boards are beautifully presented and filling. The main dishes are huge! Easily splitable between two people and deserts are the perfect end to the evening. Creative cocktails, fun beers, perfectly paired wines, and whiskey too! We'll definitely be coming back! Also the owners are all so friendly and were managing the floor, it was an top notch experience!
Eneida Baldera
Matt, our server, made the whole experience wonderful. Attentive to details, and the desert recommendation was top notch. We never buy desert when we go out to restaurants but we just couldn't resist since everything we had there was perfect.
Kassandra Martin
Wow what a wonderful experience! Amanda was the best server we’ve ever had. So much good energy and made our entire experience! 8 million dollars for that one.
Kyle Burton was the bear manager. Can’t wait to be back.
Eliab Delgado
Rating speaks for itself, I was already thinking of Dining here but I decided to ask our valet “what do you recommend “ he told me every other place in Hyde Park and then finished “but of course On Swann is the best here”. With that being said I will be returning again. It was a Saturday night so I called ahead asked if it was reservation only and they said no but I might expect a wait, got in and of course it was packed but they had a high table for that so we were seated at the high table (which wasn’t too uncomfortable) right away. Our service was great, scenery was great very very busy, but not crazy. Open kitchen is a great view. My server was able to recommend me some Vegan options that weren’t on the menu which were great. Next time I’ll have a reservation and maybe get a little closer to the kitchen, but I loved it. If you’re in Tampa I recommend stoping in, and take a stroll in Hyde Park.
J C
I had a great service here, and I love the humus plate.
