    My first visit here and I wish I'd discovered this place sooner. The service was kind and…read morecourteous, the food piping hot, and the drinks refreshing and delicious. We wish they had tables big enough for large parties on their patio. Would be fun to spend an evening out there with a group of friends.

    I don't usually go for Southern food, but I'm glad I stopped by to The Swanson. Interior wise, it's…read morelike a house turned restaurant business. The foundation is still there with the rooms and decor but with lots of tables set up, similar to hosting a gathering at home. Not only that, everyone here was really friendly! We really felt welcomed, and though the second time, service wasn't as outstanding, it was still good. I think they really nailed down the vibe of southern hospitality. For drinks, they have seasonal cocktails, which I think is fun, but I'm not around at a time where I would be able to chill and drink. I end up with a go-to sweet tea. Strong and sweet, that it kept me up, but not the strongest nor sweetest I've had. There's also complimentary bread that's mini muffin shaped and dense like a biscuit. It's buttery and salty, but I like it! Before coming, I saw so many things about the sampler, so I definitely wanted to get it and try out. Love the fried green tomatoes with the honey mustard. It didn't feel oily, and it held up pretty well when cut and dipped into sauce. The pimento cheese here is probably the best I've ever had, but I will admit that I have not had many (I tend to not like it). In fact, both these items stay on my mind enough that I do think about coming here more often than I thought I would. And this is just for the apps. The rest of the entrees are pretty standard. Some better than others, but that's due to preference. I haven't gone through the whole menu, but I do prefer their chicken to some of the other menu items. For their sides, I haven't seen or heard of some of them. I asked about them, and they were described p well, enough for me to not want to try congealed salad. I'm not a big fan of jello type things, but I did try the pear salad. Not for me. Absolutely not for me. I did really enjoy the collard green soup and sweet potato souffle though! They were great, esp the souffle. It was my first time having nuts in them, and I loved it so much. Everything else was alright, like I'm sure you've had or can make better mac. Overall, I'm glad to know this place because it's a good rec for the area if you're in the mood for Southern food. It's not a bad pick for vegetarians either, though they would only have appetizers and sides to pick from, but I liked them more than the entrees. There's a parking lot, and it's in a good location to see the rest of downtown Perry too.

    Visiting family for the holidays and decided to have our annual couples dinner here. We will not be…read morereturning. We ordered two salmon entrees, one ribeye with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and the chicken entree. The chicken entree was the best and I would rate it 7/10. One salmon was dry and both were missing seasoning/finishing salt. The ribeye was missing finishing salt and the mashed potatoes needed butter. The lavender lemon drop was decent. Service was decent with nothing extra/over the top. In making the reservation, I didn't see a time limit but I know the standard is 2 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30pm and we finished with our dinners around 7:45pm. At 8:07pm as we wrapping up our conversation, the waitress comes to our table and says that they had a 7:30pm reservation and needed the table. 1. You couldn't have thought our reservation would be over in one hour. 2. There wasn't a party waiting to be seated on our way out. It made me question the true reasoning behind asking us to leave the table

The ambience is so sexy -- the lighted bar, tabletop candles, and dim lighting set the perfect mood. Fellas, bring your lady here and tell her to throw on that dress and heels -- this is the perfect date night spot. The Caesar salad and blackened salmon were amazing too. 10/10 all around! Michael was my bartender! The best in Perry GA!
