Swirl

Fun spot in Afton. Friendly staff. Some nice wines. My only critique is the seating.The high top rectangular tables are wobbly & uncomfortable to sit at. I constantly bump my knee into the table legs. I wish they had better seating options especially for 2 & 4 person tables. The best place to sit is at the small bar. Please re-work your tables to provide a better experience for your customers. Otherwise, a lovely place.

Swirl is a jewel! It was an unexpected find for us. Our daughter rides horses nearby and we were looking to kill some time with food and beverage. Seriously, super unexpected and what a surprise and delight for Afton. We'll be back every Wednesday!! Service and food was excellent! Highly recommend but I don't really want to share this secret.

Great hometown locally run restaurant with servers that truly care about the place coupled with interesting and fun food

Came in at 9pm, servers were distracted with eating their own food and nobody talked to us for 15 minutes. They (multiple servers switching off) took our food order and asked if they could bring everything out at once, even though they are supposed to be open until 10. Wontons had wilted the lettuce they were on and had to be peeled off, the sauce so cheap we were scraping the plates to try to get some. Fondue was broken and grainy. Flatbread was good, but came 15 minutes after the "bring it all together" apps. refill on drinks took long too. Then they tried to bring us the flatbread again, which the servers seemed happy "it's ours now". Sadly disorganized.

Really excellent food (tried the pasta, turkey burger, and chicken sandwich, as well as, the apple dumpling -which isn't on the menu right now, but they are serving and it's phenomenal) and all were fantastic! Good wine selection as well. The only downside- the staff was friendly but there were only two other tables (no large parties) and two servers- but the service was a bit slow. We were fine with it, as we were there to catch up, but just go in with that expectation!

A hidden gem close to Woodbury! I love going here with girlfriends in the summer for a drink. It's quaint and quiet and perfect! The wine is delicious!

What a delightful place! I came out with a group of gal pals for the ultimate ladies night which Afton hosts every 3rd Thursday in the month. Several of the businesses stay open later and offer specials between 5 and 8 pm. Swirl had a free wine tasting and offered 6 wines (3 whites and 3 reds) all different kinds from not dry to very dry. The tasting plates they offered looked great and the full meals even more so. I ordered a plate of truffle oil infused herbed french fries with gouda dipping sauce. It was a huge plate for sharing and OMG so amazingly yummy. I so wish I took a picture of this plate but I was so eager to wolf them down, I didn't even stop to snap a shot. I will for sure be back and ordering again so next time!One friend ordered the margharita flat bread, someone else ordered the fish tacos and another ordered the crab cake. All were met with very positive thumbs up! I am a sweet wine kind of gal so I got a glass of the house moscato and it was the perfect dessert wine. Others all went for the merlot and pino grigio. The decor inside is beautiful. They had plenty of wait staff helping with food and wine. Since it was ladies night out, there was a one man band outside playing guitar and keyboard and singing a nice selection of 70's/80's tunes. They have a beautiful patio with firepit tables for warming up on those crisp nights. It was a perfect night to be outdoors and spend with friends. I look forward to coming back and trying the avocado cream cheese wontons with strawberry glaze!

Good service - fun music night on Thursday, Good food. Will probably return in the summer to try the patio.

Love, love love the short rib and some of the wines. I find that the wines are unique and United States based which I love. Outdoor seating in the summer is amazing. It is not on the river side however it feels like it is. The place is supposedly "haunted" with nice haunters. The peaceful feeling is amazing. Just would make the indoor part cozier. Dress in layers in the winter with warm socks, shoes or boots and a sweater with a jacket because it is cold. Odd inconsistent hours. Just make sure it is open when you want to go.

Little cozy spot in the heart of afton! Family owned and operated- it's a must for a Kari's night or just a date night!
