We frequent Swirl on Wednesday nights for the date night special. The food is always very delicious. We can’t say enough good things about the wait staff, top notch!

We booked a reservation for the fish fry at Current, thinking we works be seated at Current. Instead we were seated in Swirl. Not what we were looking for. Current was mostly empty, yet we were crammed into a small table at Swirl. We both had fish, which was not particularly good. Too much batter, and poorly cooked. The second round I got was even worse than the first. Way over cooked, bordering on burned. Service was mediocre at best. The only thing that was good was the French fries. Frankly, one of the worst dining experiences I have as in a while.

David, Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry your experience did not meet expectations. I apologize for the confusion with seating in Swirl instead of Current, and that you felt cramped despite available space. We also missed the mark on the fish fry — over-battered and overcooked is not our standard — and I will be addressing this with our kitchen team. Your comments regarding service are also being shared with staff so we can improve. While I’m glad you enjoyed the French fries, we clearly fell short overall. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide a better experience.. If you’re willing, please reach out to me directly so we can discuss your visit further and invite you back for a much better experience. Dan Jarvis Owner

We had a party of six and it was a great evening. The food was top notch and the service was some of the best we ever had. We ate in Fine Dining but there are other venues at the Atom House. We were there on 2/28, not the busiest time for a restaurant located on the St Croix but for a celebratory occasion it was perfect.

Restaurant needs some serious renovation and upgrades. Appears as if nothing has been done in the past 20 years.
