Located in Manhattan's Time Square theater district, the chef owned and operated Swizz provides an intriguing menu of European infusion cooking with influences from Switzerland, Italy, France and America.

The Scene – A welcoming, open facade leads to a bi-level interior decorated gallery-style with the works of noted local artists such as James de la Vega. Wine is prominent, either in pours from the subterranean wine cave or as decoration along the street-level dining room walls filled with Hell's Kitchen locals. – – The Food – Though much of the menu draws from border countries with the likes of pasta, cordon bleu and schnitzel, dishes that involve cheese are best.

Tasty, Friently, and Fun

by CookThis at Citysearch

Went on a date here with my gf. The staff was SUPER nice and friendly. Our waiter was fun and offered great recommendations. The wine was priced low but was amazing. Had the crab cakes app, not the best but were still good...then had the fondu dinner and it was very good. Didnt have room for desert. The space has nice decor but is a little cold and bland.

  • Pros: Friendly staff, cheap good wine

Excellent Eats!

by Ceo903 at Citysearch

The mussels are among the best I've ever had (including in Ireland!). The broth just begs for a ton of their fresh bread to sop it up. The cheese plate boasts a great selection and combine and complement well. Service was great, epecially since the place was nearly empty. The atmosphere is warm and inviting- we will visit again during our next trip to the city.

  • Pros: Great service, nice atmosphere
  • Cons: Limited wine selection for the truly dedicated oenophile
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
