Still great after all these years. The Swingside Cafe is one of a kind, and I hope it never goes away. The presence of the chef-owner makes the quality of the food unbeatable. It's inventive and seasonal and never boring. You could not make this food at home. The Sicilian influenced cuisine is sophisticated and layered and full of special ingredients, fit for kings and queens! Besides being where to go if you want to feel like royalty, the Swingside Cafe is a good place to hang out with people who truly appreciate food. It's also great for simpler meals by yourself or with one or two other people. It's nice in the summer on the deck and it's nice in the winter when it's cozy inside. It's possible to get out of there inexpensively, but you usually end up ordering about 4 things each since they are so irresistible. I usually can't stop myself from ordering the antipasto platter and that day's appetizer special plus an entrée, but stronger willed people than I could.
