The food was very good. Especially some of the seasonal sushi rolls on the menu. Aside from the great food it is a very nice place and our waiter was very attentive. Only drawback is that it was a little expensive compared to other similar sushi restaurants we go to.

Swordfish sits in a strip mall location and judging from the outside one would never guess at the romantic and cozy setting on the inside. Once you walk in you are transported to another world that doesn't seem to be in strip mall suburbia. The sushi is outstanding and the prices are fair for the quality of the dishes. We... More

I would eat here every day if I could. It's just that good. The quality of fish used in their sushi is top notch. I think a big misconception of sushi is that everything is raw fish. This is not the case, especially at Swordfish. Many of their specialty sushi rolls have cooked, fried, or smoked fish. Their specialty rolls... More

After years of driving by and wondering about the places, my husband and I finally stopped in. The food was excellent, the sauces were unique, the decor was bright and interesting, and the service was good. The only unpleasant thing was a table near us with a couple businessmen, one of whom interrupted his loud sales pitch only to bash... More

Happy Hour Menu was very affordable. The service was very attentive. Loved the feel and decor of the restaurant. We went here because of the great reviews of others. They were not wrong.

You would never know what an amazing little gem this is by the outside! We have lived in the area for years and must have passed this place thousands of times. . .we finally decided to try it, and, wow! So upset we didn't discover this little gem sooner! Great atmosphere, deep reds and woods for decor, fantastic recommendations from... More

I went to Swordfish with my parents and fiance for my birthday dinner at the end of August. I've lived in the area my entire life and i've never been. I'm SO happy I went! We got there and we all had a drink at the bar. The bartender was really friendly and knew a lot about the beers. The... More

We were surprised by the freshness of our appetizer-pan seared scallop. Then we ordered a nigri for starter, again, very fresh. My son had samurai - a combo of sushi, sashimi, roll and teriyaki fish(it's sort of like fish cake). My daughter had Atlantic king salmon, and I had Chilean sea bass. The presentation was well done, food was only... More
