I am a regular diner of this wonderful restaurant, and it never disappoints. Extremely attentive, friendly waiter who always remembers my mom's crabcake order every time we visit and my friends hot pepper request. This is what makes this restaurant have that personal warm ambiance. Steaks and sides were excellent as always....creamed spinach and truffle fries a standout! Sweetwater's far exceeds all of the franchise upscale steak houses popping up everywhere lately. Can't wait to go back!
