Was Evans Tucker at Swoop a mag?
My wife and I went to a party at SWOOP last weekend. The food was amazing! Sliders, stuffed goat cheese with crostini, crab cakes, bite-sized raspberry tarts, chocolate truffles, peppers stuffed with meat and cheese, etc. Everything was fantastic. The venue itself is beautiful as well. Great outdoor seating. Large well-maintained lawn to stroll around on while you enjoy appetizers and drinks with friends. It's not ch... View all feedback.
What User dislikes about Swoop:
I would advise against using this venue for any planned events. The management is unprofessional, unreliable, and extremely rude. I organized an event months in advance and had already sent out invitations, with guests traveling from out of state. However, three weeks before the event, they canceled my reservation without any explanation, leaving me in a challenging situation. I found out that they reopened their boo... View all feedback.
Supper Friends at Swoop House is a staple in Austin for pop-up dinners. We have been attending for almost 9 years now and continue to return for the fun, delicious food, and great ambiance. The themed meals are usually 5 courses and well thought out. The passed appetizers are a favorite, with 3 different types of tasty bites to enjoy while waiting for dinner. Wine pairing is available and the staff, including the wait staff, sommelier, chef, and owner, are all attentive and friendly. We hope to see more dinner events in the future as we eagerly anticipate the next one after our last visit a few months ago. We can't wait to return!
I had an amazing experience at Supper Friends! This charming restaurant is located in a small house with beautiful grounds to enjoy in the spring. The concept behind Supper Friends is to have a meal with conversation, as tables are set up in groups of eight or more. Guests are seated with others, greeted with a cocktail and hors d'oeuvres, and then served a themed multi-course meal from appetizers to desserts. The food is always delicious and the conversations range from light-hearted to serious. Cell phones are not allowed at the table, so guests can fully engage with each other. Be sure to check the calendar and sign up for a unique dining experience at Supper Friends.
After eagerly anticipating a reservation at SWOOP House for months, I finally had the chance to experience their Cajun/Creole inspired fixed price dinner. The 5 course menu was a preview of what will be offered at their upcoming restaurant, Sawyer Co. The setting was charming, with communal seating in a restored cottage with wood floors and chandeliers. Despite my efforts to save room for the meal, I couldn't resist indulging in the delicious passed hors d'oeuvres and ended up feeling quite full early on. The main courses were equally delicious, with standout dishes including Crawfish Etouffee and Fried Gulf Oyster Salad. However, the meatloaf had some issues with bone chips, which was disappointing. The dessert, King Cake Bread Pudding, was too much for my already full stomach, but it made for a tasty breakfast the next day. Overall, the food, staff, and atmosphere were wonderful, and I would definitely consider returning for a special occasion.
Had this bookmarked for awhile and when I got the chance to experience for half the price thanks to Yelp, I jumped on it! You'd be a Fool not to, right? A four course dinner for $25 is a deal anywhere much less in such an intimate and quaint surrounding. Loved the house with it's hard woods and beautiful art (altho it's true it does get warm in there! Dress accordingly . Loved the decorations, from fancy rose petals on the floor to whimsical dinosaur planters on the table. Loved the grounds and the vintage car in the drive. Loved the hard working staff that was continuously prepping food, distributing food and corking and serving the wine the patrons brought. Loved meeting the folks at my table, esp the older gent to my left who regaled me with stories of Alaska and Africa (and the mating rituals of leopards . Loved the appetizers! Deviled eggs with a slice of pickle and fried leek strings and quail nachos topped with pickled onions. Both creative and a burst of flavor in the mouth. Loved the ice-burg wedge salad with it's candied bacon, sweet pecans, and tangy blue cheese. Loved the tempura fried eggplant and seasoned fresh veggies. That's where the love stops I'm afraid. As Lee noted, the brisket was epic fail. Two huge slabs of tough dry meat served only with a tiny amount of sauce and with only a butter knife to saw through it. You gotta have balls to serve brisket in Texas, so I respect their gumption, but you gotta back up the balls with tender flavorful meat, and this just wasn't it. My older gent friend said he prefers the brisket at County Line. ahem. The potato salad was really good tho and surprised my palette with crunchy toasted almonds. Finally, the dessert was also a bit off. After such a rich meal, something light would have worked better I think. The combo of decadent chocolate, rich praline mousse and tart raspberry sauce made my tongue retract in fear. Couldn't finish it. Also as Lee noted, I would have loved for the chef to explain each course, especially what that crunchy thing was in the tater salad (hope it wasn't the taters! . It may have just been an issue of having a full house of chatty folks and trying to move the dinner along at a good pace. I know I was guilty of being the last to finish most courses just because I was having so much fun talking to my older gent bfff. But having the chef come out before each course probably would have focused me a bit more on finishing the prior course anyway. Despite the missteps in food, I look forward to a return visit. This is perfect for a group of supper friends to get together over a leisurely meal (I'm lookin at you Carillon Group...you know who you are! .
Elites were invited to dine here for 50% off. I called Emily at the Swoop House and she said there were three seats left. The discount applied to all three of us. $25 for a four-course meal and cocktail! Can I get a whoop? Or a swoop? We knew where we were celebrating my sister in law's birthday! The house is in East Austin and has a large garden, a nice porch, and would be a great place to have an outdoor meal in the Fall. We wandered inside to check out the three-room house and the table arrangements, which come with your printed name indicating where you should sit at one of the large tables. There were these cute little whimsical dinosaurs filled with miniature plants that served as center pieces. See: sometimes I'm so easy to please. The quail nachos were excellent, and the deviled eggs had fried leeks in them, which was a new one for me: very dramatic presentation. The sliders were okay. And the wedge salad had an amazing dressing on it. This is an extremely difficult town to try to compete in the bbq arena, so I'm not sure why they chose brisket as the main course. I really didn't care because I had not paced myself and was stuffed with every other delicious thing that came before it. The 2DineFor staff is very courteous and professional, and it seems as if this could be a really fun place to have a large birthday party or rehearsal dinner...and if there were enough of you then you wouldn't have to worry about being in public when Uncle George gets out his ancient video camera and starts recording people's feet. I also liked being able to meet lots of new people. The woman next to me was with her husband and four friends who had all traveled to the same country in the past year and, as neighbors, they want to go out and talk about what they'd seen. Seems like a great idea to me. There was an issue (twice) when we were engrossed in our conversation and I looked down at our plates and realized that we were probably holding up the entire table so I figured I should eat faster for the third and fourth course. Practical stuff: They don't have a liquor license, so you get one cocktail at the beginning and then you bring your own wine/champagne/beer pairings to the dinner. And I did feel a tiny trickle of sweat rolling down the back of my knee at some point in the evening, so dress accordingly. I asked one of the servers how many dinner parties they were hosting and he said they were up to three a week in the summer, but that doesn't seem to be posted on the website. So, you should just sign up for their mailing list to get details about the next one.
