"Offering a view of Wrigley Field’s red marquee, known for its oysters and American cuisine." - Wendy Altschuler
"This large Wrigleyville restaurant is an offshoot of a great steakhouse in Fulton Market. But the relation is only by name—the food here isn’t very good. Depending on who your shucker of the day is, oysters range from mediocre to possible dental hazard if little shell fragments are left hanging around. You won't have much luck with the cooked food either, from bland rigatoni with Italian sausage to over-salted steak. But since this modern-looking tavern has plenty of space at the bar and lots of tables, it’s fine if you just need somewhere to drink before or after a Cubs game across the street." - John Ringor
"Across from Wrigley Field, this casual spot is well-tread by oyster slurpers and beer drinkers. The mien is airy and modern, with large windows and colorful accents; downstairs, wood floors give way to black-and-white tiles around the horseshoe bar. Service walks the line between casual and skillful.A selection of raw oysters puts patrons in the mood for seriously good food. From there, proceed to an offering of these bivalves—baked, sizzling and served with crusty bread for a heady spread. House-made pretzel bites are matched with warm queso, but save room for the roast chicken. Moist and tender, the impossibly golden brown and crisped chicken is served over spätzle and garnished with a Granny Smith apple salad for a main dish that really delivers." - Michelin Inspector
"Wrigleyville’s casual seafood companion to Boka’s Swift & Sons steakhouse in Fulton Market serves $1.50 oysters and rotating drink specials during happy hour from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
"Swift & Sons Tavern, the new steak and oyster spot from Boka Restaurant Group across from Wrigley Field, is offering a sizable selection of food, alcohol, and Paloma cocktail kits." - Naomi Waxman
