It was midtown restaurant week so two friends and I decided to try out 4th and Swift and Im very glad we did. We had a six oclock reservation so perhaps because it was such an early dinner we did not experience the crowd that other reviewers are mentioned. All the staff were very friendly and hospitable and our waitress was perfect: knowledgeable about the food and wine, amiable and checked on us just enough! I had to try out 3 wines before decidng on a glass but she was very obliging and did not seem to mind my pickiness. I had corn soup, leg of lamb and Creme brulee for dessert. The soup and lamb were very tasty. The creme brulee was pretty good too, with roasted strawberries and shortbread. I tried my friends flounder...not bad but not a cause for glorious praise either. My other friend had the salmon small plate which was delicious and a lovely plate of oxtail and gnocchi...my favourite of the evening. I most certanly recommend this ambient and understated restaurant.
Pros: Great service, delicious food, lovely ambience
Cons: Non that stuck out on this first visit
