Swifty's at the Colony Palm Beach

We had the most unexpected joy of an experience! We absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. Vanessa was an absolute pleasure and really made our experience top notch! She was extremely helpful and such a gem! The place itself- WOW! Especially the wallpaper, branded butter, pink pens and server attire. Every little attention to detail! This is what it is all about.

The food is pricey but very good! The servers are also friendly and very attending. The brownie is absolutely amazing and one of the best deserts I've had. The ambience is also great both inside and on the patio.

Our dining experience was sumptuous!! First, we were greeted by very amiable hostesses. Johannes was our waiter. We couldn’t ask for a more courteous and smiling waiter; he cordial, attentive and knowledgeable. He made us feel very comfortable. This was a great introduction to the formidable culinary experience we were about to make. The non-alcoholic Ocean View cocktail, the Cold Press Doctor Green Juice both deserve to be mentioned. We had two French white wines (Sancerre and Chablis) that delighted us. The Chilled Tomato Gazpacho tasted like an authentic Gazpacho from Spain! The Hamachi Crudo was a work of art, both in presentation and in flavors. The Seared Chilean Seabass was so fresh and tasty! This restaurant deserves to be listed in the Michelin guide! I wish my wife and I were Michelin inspectors, because we would give them two Michelin stars!! Congratulations to the chef, to the manager and the entire staff!

Elite breakfast with high quality ingredients in a trendy brand new art deco style. Omelette and benedicte eggs were great. $15 iced coffee but it was made perfect. Music was great.

Stopped into Swifty’s for a leisurely lunch and had the Murray’s Organic Chicken Paillard—elegantly done, light yet full of flavor. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, served over arugula with heirloom tomatoes and shaved Parmesan—refreshing and perfectly balanced for a midday bite. Afterward, I lingered over a smooth, well-crafted latte, which made for a lovely finish. No live music at that hour, of course, but the soft soundtrack playing through the speakers set just the right tone. A quintessential Palm Beach lunch—graceful, refined, and quietly indulgent.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fabulous Cocktails & Chic Vibes at Swifty’s! Swifty’s at The Colony Hotel is a Palm Beach must! The cocktails were absolutely fabulous—perfectly mixed, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The setting is effortlessly elegant, with that signature Swifty’s charm and The Colony’s iconic flair. Whether lounging by the pool or enjoying a pre-dinner drink, every moment felt stylish and elevated. A true gem for anyone who appreciates great drinks and even better atmosphere. Cheers to Swifty’s!

Delightful spot for lunch and dinner. Had both and all times we went we sat on the poolside patio. They have an indoor seating area and a bar indoors but we dined outside under the lovely shade. They also have an outside bar that you can belly up to. You will be paying Palm Beach prices for drinks and food. Food is not mind blowing but definitely above average. It is kid and family friendly. Didn’t struggle with finding seating but recommend making reservations especially during high season. The watermelon salad is great and very refreshing. The cocktails are on the sweeter side so if you like them with less sugar feel free to ask like we did. They were gracious and made our cocktails less sweet. Some dishes like crab cakes are very rich, so brace yourself or go super hungry. Menu had plenty to pick from. Wine list is fantastic and very inclusive. Outdoor they do have fans to keep things cool in addition to covered patio. It’s a great experience, go and enjoy it!

Absolutely LOVED it! We went for Breakfast. Super yummy in a beautiful setting, chic and peaceful. Great service, super nice experience. We’ll be back for sure

Magic. Drinks are strong, but good (worth the spend) and we had the cheese board. I love how welcoming this spot is even if you aren't staying and you feel encouraged to enjoy the ambiance and location. Will 100% be back and invest in the experience of staying at The Colony.

Came here for dinner on the Fourth of July and had an exquisite time! I was very happy to hear they were open and we booked a reservation for two. The service was great and our food came fast. We ordered the pork chop and meatloaf and both were so savory and soft to bite in. The food portion was huge and so delicious! In fact, it is my boyfriend's favorite Palm Beach restaurant now. The cocktails were strong and tasty so definitely worth it. The ambiance was so enjoyable, the DJ was very good at his job, the pool was clean, sitting in the shade was great. Pink is my favorite color so this was my dream interior and exterior design for a restaurant and made me very excited. If you like the color pink, you will surely enjoy coming to Swifty's and the Colony hotel. The pen I signed the tip with was pink and the staff let me keep it which I am highly appreciate of!

Service is top-notch. Very prompt and attentive staffs with lovely and welcoming attitude. Loved the live music and overall vibe. Was not particularly satisfied with the food. It's definitely a 5 star worthy place if it was not for the food. May be I had higher expectations similar to other places in WBP like buccan, cafe boulud and cafe el Europe. Or may be a wrong/busy day in kitchen. I am too optimistic of the place . It's definitely worth a try if you are around the area

We came here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary with my family! It was a BEAUTIFUL setting, a gorgeous hotel, and the sunset and vibe was so so nice. The food was good, but honestly nothing that really wowed us. We have had so much great food in palm beach, so I think just in comparison it wasn't as outstanding. Still was really good though! We started with the hummus tray and the guacamole. The chips and guac were a highlight. The chips were unique and yummy! I got the burger, which was good, and cooked as expected. The fries were good as well! My dad got the crab cakes and the brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were really good! My sister got the grouper with red paper and mashed potatoes which she liked, my brother in law got the meatloaf, which was good but he didn't love the sauce, my mom got the salmon, my other sister got the fish and chips which she liked. My husband got the pasta, which was probably the best thing we had! We really liked the sauce and flavor. For dessert, we got the key lime pie and the brownie, both of which were good! We LOVED the brownie, it had a wonderful flavor. Overall, the vibe was really wonderful, we just felt it was a little overpriced for what it was. Cute spot still though and we had a good experience!

Came here for dinner one night while visiting WPB. It's so overpriced and the food is good, but you're paying for the vibes. The vibes are immaculate, and I 1000% recommend picking up a cutie little souvenir while you're there (I opted for the small keychain and the tote bag). To drink we both ordered the pink paradise, so cute and pink! It tasted delicious as well, 10/10 recommend. We started off with the guacamole, the chips are very similar to wonton texture so crispy and topped with agave (lowkey it felt like eating wonton strips with sweet and sour sauce). I liked it, but for $35, don't need to get it again. Then we each ordered a salad. I ordered the chopped iceberg and kale salad- minus the bacon. It was good, I think some people would find it over dressed but I personally loved it. The caramelized onions looked almost gelatinous. That was a little off putting initially, but I got over it and ended up really enjoying the salad ($26). For dinner my friend and I split the dolce & gabana pasta. It was really good, just pasta with marinara sauce, nothing ground breaking, but I liked it. ($49 because there a $10 up charge to split a dish) For dessert we split the carrot cake, it was presented so beautifully I loved it. The cake was pretty good, it was too sweet for my friend, but I liked it. I have to say the staff here is amazing. Everyone from the person who checked me out with my souvenirs, to our waiter, and just anyone we encountered was so lovely and kind. You can tell this is the kind of place where they will do everything in their power to make sure you have an amazing time. I love places like that! Just side note- the clientele here is not the vibe, every other patron I encountered was meh. Like not it. The staff here is stil so nice! The vibes are immaculate. It was definitely a good time. Staff and service 10/10. Vibes 10/10. Food 6/10. Drinks 10/10. Prices not the vibe.

The outside bar is beautiful! Completely covered with fans so it's very comfortable!!Surrounding the pool ,, the setting is upscale tropical! The service was friendly and attentive! I didn't eat anything but ordered my Pinot Grigio and relaxed after a day of Worth Avenue shopping! Pet friendly and family friendly! I definitely recommend!!

This is where bingo and trivia are located. It's important to make a RSVP, if not there's a chance you may not get a table. The burger was good, cooked the way i wanted. The charcuterie board had a good selection on it. And my mocktail was delicious.

Could have been better - a disappointment to say the least. Hamburger: Tasteless unless you like the taste of the grease it was grilled on. Curried Chicken Salad: Edible however, oddly it arrived with a few banana slices, one piece of bacon, some lettuce with a vinegar type of dressing underneath it (yes the dressing was underneath the lettuce not on it) and a something yellow either bell pepper or tomato - the server thought it was a tomato but it was hard like a bell pepper- inedible whatever it was. I can appreciate the vibe at the pool and the festive feel of the outside bar that serves froze but I can't appreciate prices that are sky high for just meh.

We just love this hidden restaurant that in the Colony Hotel on Palm Beach Fl. We are regulars at this establishment. The restaurant and Menu are just perfect. I recommend have the catch of the day they prepare as you like or custom make for you. Only complaint is that it's has a small bar with about 8 seats outside poolside. The Bar service is completely underrated in my opinion. Also dress to impress because the best shopping experience is The Shops on Worth Avenue. We have seen some Celebrities there.

We had a wonderful experience at Swifty's and our waiter was exceptional! At first we were seated outside. It's gorgeous out there! There's greenery on the ceiling, a pretty chandelier and it's next to the pool. Unfortunately, the mosquitos were out in full force! We asked to be moved inside and the staff accommodated us right away! We were a group of 6, and they made us feel so welcome! We ordered a bunch of dishes family style. The mashed potatoes are a MUST try! Literally in my top 5 mashed potatoes I've ever had (I've had alot ). It comes out really cute too, like squeezed out like ice cream lol. Shrimp cocktail was good, calamari was just ok. The butter came out so cute! With the Colony logo on it. We ordered two steaks bc they were smaller ones. They were good, fries were good. Brussel sprouts were really good! Pasta was just ok. Nothing special. Espresso martinis were made perfectly Our waiter Will was incredible tho! Really attentive, fun, knowledgeable. He really made the experience great!

Had the opportunity to attend a Saturday brunch here It was pretty full for a mid morning in June The service was really special with multiple layers of staff freshening water, coffee, and cocktails The pictures don't do the food justice as it was exceptional in every facet Great portions too! We may never be back in this area but if I was I wouldn't hesitate to go back and recommend to all

Swifty's has the most delicious food and the cutest atmosphere. I came here for breakfast and lunch last weekend. I absolutely loved the cauliflower tacos for lunch and my iced latte for breakfast. The staff here is so friendly too!

Health Code Violations! I was seated indoors next to a 4 top with a DOG on the floor ... not a service animal mind you, but a pet. And judging from their conversation they were NOT staying at the hotel. I was disgusted and horrified when I googled the FL health code and determined this restaurant was in violation! I spoke to the manager and showed her the code and all she could say is a feeble "oh I'm sorry, this hotel is dog friendly". Well that's no excuse because the restaurant is separate from the hotel. They tried to buy my silence by comping me my one cocktail. Didn't work. Beware of this overpriced health code violation. They should be ashamed. I even complained to the front desk of the hotel since the restaurant was attached. No one knows compliance in that place!!! I will never go back again. Disgusting!

Will return. We've brunch by the pool: brûlée pink grapefruit with a few chopped basil, which is the cherry on top. The Colony breakfast is to die for except New York bagel, which it isn't, too fluffy to qualify for New York bagel, more like supermarket bagels. Their coffee is super strong. The atmosphere is classy. People dressed up to the T in their casual fineries. A lady in a dark pink dress is flowing around like the runway model - it's her big 30 birthday party - happy birthday although she's bit too young for the crowd. Service is good and professional. One end of the small pool is 9' - much deeper than the most, especially given it's size.

Great food, the salmon was 10/10 and the truffle fries wow!! Nice clean coastal "ritzy" atmosphere. Prices were high.. service was lacking. Had an older man server and he didn't check in much and often forgot what he was doing.. for that I give this place 4 stars.

A must try if you sit outdoors. It's simply a fun, beautiful Palm Beach staple. Very busy, even super hectic on Mondays and Tuesday's. We waited even with a reservation. It's extremely popular. They had music making it an extra upbeat scene. I stayed at the hotel and went several times. Great for drinks. Fun cocktails and good wine list. I had the crab cakes twice and would recommend them. I love the artichoke but I just love artichokes in general. Good portion sizes. Of course the prices are high. I'd say service is very hit or miss. Outside bar service was better than inside bar. Dinner service was so so. We had to ask for things multiple times for both dinners. Hostesses could have been more friendly. But still worth trying just for the experience. The hotel is beautiful too.

Wow! What a beautiful spot for a meal by the pool at The Colony. I came here because I really wanted to check out The Colony and staying at the hotel overnight wasn't in the budget this time. We had breakfast reservations for 9:30am and were seated quickly in a shady spot. The service was great and super quick! I got the Colony Breakfast and my mom got the bagel with lox. Both were good, of course, REALLY high price, $38 per plate. While I don't say that just the food itself makes that high price worth it, it was a really nice experience and such an amazing ambiance that I'm glad I got to experience! I probably wouldn't come back often, but for a special occasion yes!

Just spent four days at The Colony Palm Beach and it was exquisite! I had heard great things but this property needs to be personally experienced. Swifty's, the main restaurant, was delicious, and all of the staff were super helpful and knowledgeable. I initially thought the prices were a little steep, but every appetizer and entree was better than the next, and we decided it was well worth it, especially to dine poolside. Highly recommend the tuna tartare, crushed avocado, house cobb salad, crab cakes, gazpacho, and to always add the truffle fries! They have a nice wine list and a fantastic cocktail menu - all very refreshing and several really good non-alcoholic options. Great spot for dinner as well and you can move to the garden and have a drink afterwards at the breezy outdoor bar. Can't wait to return next year. Overall: Exquisite location, beautiful decor, delicious menu, and attentive poolside service!

Grossest food in PB. So nasty , like a nursing home. The prices are ridiculous, dirty tables sit all around you. Seriously take my word for it there are 100s of better restaurants than this. Atmosphere is attractive- try chewing on that.

Had an amazing lunch here last week! Swifty's is located inside of the Colony Hotel. Place was pink and hopping! Definitely the place to be seen and had big Palm Beach vibes! We didn't have a reservation and were very lucky to get four seats at the outdoor bar. I wish I remembered our bartenders names because they were the best! I had a delicious tequilla drink called Spicy Socialite. One of the best drinks I've had. The bartender recommended the curried chicken salad for lunch and it did not disappoint. So flavorful and big portion. Everyone in my group was happy with their selections and all of their portions were big as well. Will definitely be back and would even consider a staycation here. Highly recommend and try to make a reservation.

The food here was great! The service was so so and they don't have a bathroom with a changing table. But the fish I got was divine. We stayed at The Break where they overcooked my fish and a lobster so we were pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommended!

If you're looking for lunch with an outdoor view of people swimming and swirling about-- Swifty's is the place. The Colony Hotel lacked quality customer service at the front desk but the valet team will certainly take care of you. As you make your way into the restaurant- Swifty's is lively at lunch. If you dine at breakfast- it's The Colony Hotel menu. It's a different menu. The food is good but nothing elaborate. Swifty's is a lunch time thing or so it appeared as the different menu popped out and the prices increased. But, the crowds didn't change. I can see why... the hotel has a fun vibe but it's still not renovated in some areas. Just like the off the cuff menu change, and side of fried onions in my chicken dish, the hotel had some other random quirks that weren't just a huge pile of onions and a flat piece of chicken covered with arugula. An appealing characteristic about Swifty's is the unique outdoor decor. You're sitting in an outdoor courtyard filled with fresh flowers. It doesn't get anymore authentic than the white chandeliers and their outdoor patio bar. Swift is Swifty's when it comes to lavish floral arrangements and table settings. Overall, Swifty's has a unique vibe and aims to please. Unfortunately, their quality isn't as good as the price suggests.

The server was welcoming and attentive. super cute aesthetics and the best drinks I have ever had! would definitely visit

We came here for my friends bachelorette party for a brunch with 14 girls. It was so adorable on the inside and out. This is definitely an Instagram brunch spot. We sat outside on the patio. Since this was a large group they put us at 2 separate tables and we had a pre-fix menu. You could choose any drink off the regular menu you wanted but for food you only had two choices; either a traditional breakfast plate or French toast. I got the breakfast plate it came with an English muffin, eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, potatoes, and a tomato. It was very delicious. For my choice of drink I had 2 mimosas. Some girls did order 3 drinks but the total came out to almost $140 per girl.....that is absolutely absurd. I've been to some world class restaurants and never had a breakfast that expensive. If you have money to blow, it's worth coming but otherwise stay away if you have a large party and want to get the pre-fixe menu, they charge you WAYYY too much. Pros: Ambiance, photo opportunities, taste of food Cons: prices, not good for large parties

Always a fantastic meal and experience.. brunch or dinner, they never disappoint! Good for groups or smaller tables - always a stop when I'm in town.

Absolutely love this restaurant...outdoor feel with indoor sophistication. Ambiance for days...and bingo on Sundays! Excellent service and lovely purse stands :). Enjoyed my delicious Bloody Mary & Cobb salad too

What a great little hidden oasis. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews! Everything was wonderful from start to finish. They carry one of my favorite red wines, 1881 Cabernet Sauvignon, which you can get by the glass or bottle. Their cocktails are very creative & delicious too! Food wise, the chickpea fritters, filet mignon with truffle butter, and salads (with salmon) were all great. The carrot cake is one of the best I've ever had.... And our server, Osmet, provided top notch service throughout. He was amazing. I highly recommend Swifty's!

Great spot for a nice cocktail. Gotta suggest the classics. All top shelf and fantastic attentive table service.

I can't tell you how obsessed I am with the chickpea fritters here! Come for a nice seat by their gorgeous pool and enjoy their yummy treats! Great service every time we're here!

Love this place for a Saturday Brunch. Always has a great vibe. Exceptional service, excellent food, and great atmosphere. I had the fish and chips which is always fresh, hot, tender and delicious. Valet parking. Reservations highly recommended.

Swifty's Pool is the latest transplant to Palm Beach from up cold--complete with its patrons in tow. More accurately, Swifty's former UES regulars were always here on Palm Beach Island, and it is about time that the culinary institutions followed suit. Wishes, it seems, do come true, even for the most cynical of folks. With Robert Caravaggi at the helm and billionaire bacon on the menu, little has changed. Except perhaps for the Floridian decor of the Grand Dame of PB hotels "The Colony." BIll Blass' alleged recipe for meatloaf--a staple at Swifty's of yesteryear--also completes the nostalgic trip down memory lane. So on my inaugural trip, we were greeted by Michelle the all-seeing and knowing. She keeps customers and ownership in line and runs a tight but fanciful ship. I had the aforementioned meatloaf and wedge salad (adored with bits of the millionaire bacon) and an amazing Margaux. My guests enjoyed a New York Strip and, fish du jour, respectively. All were cooked to perfection and were delicious. With no room for solid dessert, we instead doubled up on the vino. Despite our order, and as Swifty's is well known for delivering, the bill was relatively reasonable. But let's keep this part between us, in case Robert takes notice.

Food is incredible. Ambiance is giving summer, palm beach and tropical vacation with good vibes and atmosphere. Service is good as well and attentive.

Ate here virtually every meal while staying at the Colony. Breakfast was always good, servers were very well mannered and trained well. None of the fuax snobbery you get from some establishments. Just good service, good food and done right. It is the little things that set this apart. For example the salt and pepper shakers are little pineapples. The butter pats have the hotel's name on them, the bills come in the sea-grape-print-paper used everywhere. Mornings before breakfast? Find coffee at the bar, sit outside under a banyan tree and relax with a vairety of newspapers. It's hard to leave here!

This place has amazing food and the service is top tier! Ambience is lovely! I love coming here for brunch.

3.5 stars for Swifty's. The menu is very limited. We had 6 in our group and went early and they got us right in. I got the 8 oz filet. It was cooked like I ordered (medium rare) but had ZERO FLAVOR. Which was disappointing especially for the price. The ambiance is absolutely gorgeous. The service is also VERY good. We accidentally dropped the butter knife and a minute later a staff member came over with a new one! Overall I would not return for dinner but would go back for a early cocktail by the pool because it really is beautiful there.

very disappointed. food was rather pedestrian. server basically ignored us. Swifty's you lost out. we were going to do a big anniversary weekend at the hotel and restaurant. no way!

Great place for lunch by the beautiful pool area! My wife usually goes with one of her girlfriends but we decided to go last Saturday just the two of us. We both had the lobster salad it is fabulous for light tasty lunch. The service is always great and atmosphere is fun! Top it off with a walk down Worth Avenue even if you do not buy anything it's a great afternoon! Make sure you are well dressed!

Very vibey spot, live music, comfy chairs, and good fengshui of the outside seating! Could definitely come here for a birthday Food was amazing got the tuna tartare was scrumptious (10/10), the meatloaf was epic (top 5 mashed potatoes after careful consideration) and the fish and chips were HUGE and very tasty!!! VERY good fries. I will say something was very salty (maybe the fish and chips) because I was chugging water ALL NIGHT! Parched AF. But still would eat again. The service was actually great, they came to the table sparingly but it was nice because we didn't really need anything. When we did need something they were very quick.

Great atmosphere, however, food is very overpriced. I ordered a kale salad, and there was additional charge for a protein. I went with shrimp. The salad cost almost $55 with four puny shrimp. The salad was great but I don't understand why four measly shrimp could cost $25 in addition to my $30 salad which consisted of just kale, goat cheese and some diced sweet potatoes.

Ambiance was simply great. Service was pretty good. Food was meh. Prices were 'holy crap'!!!'. I've eaten at places that were half the price and the food was twice as good. So if exceptional food is your goal, there are far better places. But the poolside ambiance was really nice. And btw; parking was complimentary.

We loved Spencer from the garden area. Best service I have received in a while. Thank you Spencer.

Cute setting. Not sure what all the excitement is about regarding the place. Brunch was bland at best. Lots of the seats are near the edge of a pool... dangerous and sort of awkward. Thought it was going to be special after reading reviews and write up in magazine, but we were really disappointed in food, atmosphere and overall quality. No great brunch selections. The Avacado toast was creamy. Toast was bread. Toast should have some crunch. Same for the eggs Benedict. Muffin was soggy.

Swiftys has what might be Palm Beach County's best burger and that is reason enough to go. Combine that with a beautiful setting, comfortable seating and an unrushed, casual and relaxed Palm Beach ambience and it makes Swifty's a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner. Like many restaurants the food can be a little uneven and the other items we tried didn't measure up to the burger and even the accompanying fries weren't that good. No problem though because the burger's goodness was enough to satisfy me.

What a great place! So much fun and great service (especially Zoe!!). Great food and a great time. Love this place

you have to go for the ambiance alone- the colors, the greenery, the decor- all make for perfect instagram pics both inside and outside. the food is good, i wouldn't go back for it, but i would go back for drinks and pictures, very aesthetic pleasing. my group of four started with the grilled octopus special and lump crab salad- both were great! for our mains we did the curry chicken salad, which was not what we expected at all, the chicken was the consistency and appearance of deli chicken salad, certainly more of a lunch not dinner meal. we also did the salmon which was small but good and the steak which was a little over cooked but tasty. our server was awesome, attentive and had us laughing all night.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. My best friends and I were having afternoon drinks and snacks. We were refused service as they believed our REAL ids were fake. My friends and I are all above 21 and have NEVER been treated so disrespectfully. They didn't scan our IDs or anything and just said they "looked flimsy." It was completely embarrassing for us as everyone in the restaurant thought we were underage. Way to ruin the start to a vacation. I will never go here or recommend this to anyone. Just a PSA if you're overage they might not believe you.

Seems like a lunch spot. Super cool cafe around the pool of the Colony Hotel. The service both at the cafe & hotel very attentive. Beverages were impecable, great wine list. Beer served perfect temp In a cold Pilsner glass. Not sure why this place isn't a 5?? Food looked great, Doesn't meet expectations. Maybe the demo in PB demands bland? The menu is priced top notch and it isn't.

Great atmosphere and service. All of our food was pretty good except the crab cakes and cookies. The crab cakes were below average and tasted no better than a mid to low-grade chain and possibly worse. The spinach that accompanied them was absolutely terrible...0 flavor...just mush! The cookies were very average. I recommend going here for the atmosphere because it lovely, especially if you can catch the band playing. However, the food is nothing too special.

Evening at swifty's for bingo. Wow!! Potential seating at several sub par tables with a reservation. Obviously annoyed wait staff pushed us to the edge of the bar crowd at a two seater while couples were seated at 4tops. What a mess. Surprisingly our table Could not accommodate a charcuterie platter on our tiny table along with our drinks and bingo cards. What a mess. And then watched elderly people being accosted during this hot mess. Should we go back to swifty's???
