Poolside dining with American dishes, cocktails, and trivia nights

























"Poolside at The Colony, this spot channels classic Palm Beach with crisp rosé and live music, creating a lively, people‑watching scene that feels quintessentially glamorous." - Lisa A. Beach

"Open since 1947, the Colony Hotel has long been a favorite spot of locals and celebrities alike. Building on that glamorous history, Andrew and Sarah Wetenhall, owners since 2016, have refreshed and updated the interior and exterior spaces. Swifty’s, the primary restaurant at the Colony, has a modern Palm Beach look with tables outside around the pool and under bright, cheerful umbrellas. Open all day, enjoy the lobster salad made with tarragon, asparagus, and avocado for lunch or the risotto with butternut squash, wild mushrooms, and sage for dinner." - J. Miller
"A New York transplant located at The Colony that offers a crowd-pleasing menu and a lively poolside scene—recommended even if you're not staying at the hotel." - Amy Louise Bailey Amy Louise Bailey Amy Louise Bailey is a content creator and media specialist.

"Trivia nights on Monday have become a social hub at the resurrected New York gathering spot that co-opted the Colony Hotel’s pool area. Don’t miss the vadouvan curry and basmati rice; and of course it wouldn’t be Swifty’s without crab cakes, meatloaf, and chicken hash." - Beth Landman

"Once closed in 2016 much to local residents' disappointment, Upper East Side restaurant Swifty’s has reopened in Palm Beach, Florida." - Tanay Warerkar
