A great night at Swift's Attic
Swift's Attic is a great restaurant for small groups. I went recently with four other people and we all shared these amazing small plates. I wasn't as impressed as I was with Odd Duck, but I think there are still a lot of stand-outs. I also think everything we had was solid. My favorite bite came from the "haute country shrimp boil." It packed a range of flavors and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I was also very impressed with the simple snacks on the menu. The charred edamame with chili oil and pop rocks is irresistible. Same goes for the blistered shishitos with this amazing dip. The warm tender belly farms pork cheeks was also a top-notch dish. It comes in a surprising way: a bowl filled with the pork cheeks alongside sourdough toast, fig and mustard. If you order this dish make sure to use all of the options together. It's a wonderful combination. We also enjoyed the sweetbread and fois gras mousse, the egg and the pea, the braised windy hill goat shoulder, the warm brussels, and desserts: popcorn and a movie, commander crunch and nanner pudding. My favorite element of the desserts was this house made candy bar on the popcorn and a movie. The only thing that really disappointed was the brussel sprouts. They were combined with a lot of great flavors, but they were slightly raw on the inside. Overall, I can't wait to go back. Oh and the whole set-up is pretty neat. You should definitely check-out the special ambiance at Swift's Attic.
