First time at this restaurant and will definitely come back when in the area. Had a flight out of Dulles in the morning and hotel concierge recommended Sweetwater. Definitely worth it. Our waitress Lynda was amazing and the food was excellent. Had the bread basket of which the Ozzie rolls was the favorite. Also ordered the tuna salad and chicken tenders. Salad had huge chunks of tuna and the tenders had a light and flavorful coating. Wits End and Paleface beers hit the mark. Great atmosphere!

We love Sweetwater! It’s about 20 minutes from our house, if it was even closer we’d go there more often. I didn’t get photos of the meals, but took photos of the wheel chair access (which is great – auto-open to get into and out of the restaurant) and the indoor and outdoor areas. The food has always been awesome when we go there. We love the Field Green salad and loaded baked potato. I’ve had the halibut previously and it was really good. Their burgers are the best, seriously! They have a little char on them and the fries are also good.

This was our first visit to Sweetwater Tavern but we will definitely be back. I have to talk about the staff first. There was not one person we interacted with who didn’t show us the same excellent level of customer service. The customer service is so consistent that it stood out.

This was the first time I had been to Sweetwater Tavern. The food was excellent and the service was great. My friend recommended I eat the salmon and it turned out to be a great choice. Probably the best tasting salmon I’ve eaten. My friend had a steak and he said it was very good. My only negative comments would be the price. The prices seemed high for the portions. The salmon plate was $28 and the steak plate was $41.

Unbelievable service and incredible food. You won’t be disappointed. There is so much thought and care put into every dish. The server timed the meal perfectly. The expo team was energetic and friendly. We had a rough day of hospital treatments, and this restaurant put a perfect and positive end on our day. Thank you for the memorable experience!

That filet mignon is consistently amazing here! Every bite is out of this world. Tender, juicy, delicate, luscious, and buttery with the proper amount of sear and seasoning on the outside. Yummy indeed!

We love coming here for the Ozzie rolls! We also started with the calamari, which wasn’t anything special – they mixed it with fried onions, which only added more oily batter taste than anything else. My husband enjoyed the sirloin tip pasta, thanks to our waiter’s recommendation, while my mother and I shared fish tacos, a house salad and the Louisiana pasta. The pasta was a bit salty but everything else was great. Good experience but we do wish the menu had more variety. We’re excited to try the good eats emporium across the street next!

Do you have an excellent selection of beers. The food menu is almost embarrassingly large with fantastic choices of appetizers and dinner size salads. The entrees are a little more predictable but all quite good. The weather’s nice ask for an outside table overlooking the lake.
