Swirl Restaurant and Wine Bar - Manitou Springs, Colorado

The atmosphere and service were great. The food was okay, steak I had was over cooked to where it was chewy. The portion sizes are pretty small for the price as well. The Thai Curry was supposed to be spicy but it really lacked a lot of kick

The place is kind of eclectic; definitely a comfortable homey feel. Tons of wine to choose from, mixed drinks and beer. Plenty of menu choices. The staff, Peter I think, was really friendly and knew the menu. He was very helpful in making a choice for lunch, in my case the chicken, apple brie sandwich. It was really tasty with a high quality bun and generous toppings. It's only 10 minutes or so off I-25 so I will definitely stop again.

Decided to have dinner here one evening, I got their “Thai Coconut Curry” with shrimp while my wife had a “Veggie Goat” with chicken, without onions or chives. The food was delicious overall, flavors enhancing rather than blocking each other. The goat cheese was a bit dry though.

We ate outside on the patio and enjoyed the decor and music, great atmosphere. Our server was quiet spoken but patient and respectful.

The food was absolutely delicious, and I loved the atmosphere and beauty of the building. Took one star off for service because the server, though very nice did have some challenges. Brought the one table two hummus instead of one and brought me the wrong order so had to wait a while. Overall, delicious!

Jeremih (Pete) it’s the bomb.com! He’s so personal and has the best recommendations if you aren’t sure what to choose, let him choose for you! It’ll be the best decision you’ve ever made! However everything is beyond delicious you can’t go wrong.

Had the chicken pot pie and it was DELICIOUS. I was so stuffed from the delicate, yet filling crust that I couldn't even think about dessert (even though the options looked tasty). The menu has suggested wine pairings, which I didn't partake in this time, but there was a wide selection to choose from if you didn't want to opt for the suggested wine. Was seated in the alley outdoor dining and it was lively with people and servers walking through while also being quiet enough to enjoy my meal in peace - the perfect ambiance.

The food is really good. The woman who met us at the door was wonderfully friendly and great with our dog. She double checked before bringing another person to the back patio with a dog that they would be okay with each other, which is a step a lot of people miss and important when allowing dogs on a patio space together. They moved the tables around to make sure there was room for us. The atmosphere they've created in the back patio area is kind of magical, it was great. And their house made ginger beer is a new favorite of ours, on it's own or mixed in a mule.
Two things that could have been better but in no way would keep me from returning to such a wonderful place were that the bathroom felt a little unkempt and we asked for more water at one point and didn't get it. But we asked someone who wasn't our waiter, so I wouldn't say it was due to a lack of attentiveness by the staff. Thanks for an awesome experience and great food!

This was a lovely experience, Manitou Springs is a very special and mysterious town, Swirl added to that experience. The food was so tasty, and the libations were made with expression and care. The ambiance on the back patio added to that spooky but elegant Mountain town feel.
