I convinced my mom to try 4th & Swift a few weeks ago for a pre-theater dinner (we saw Jersey Boys). It’s a little off the beaten path, not quite in midtown, but definitely worth a visit. They have a deal going right now where you can pick any appetizer, entree and dessert for $35 if you come in before 6:30.
This blurry pic is my salad, with clementines and vanilla. I liked it, but my mom’s salad (below) was tastier.
My mom’s salad included some crispy fried oysters perched on a bed of lettuce.
For my entree, I picked one that had been well-reviewed. The three little pigs.
This dish included house-made pork sausage, pork belly, and a pork tenderloin. The side was the best maccaroni and cheese that I’ve ever had. (high praise, i’m a connoisseur). The pork was delicious each way it was presented, but the dish as a whole was heavy. I had a hard time finishing it, and I was saving room for dessert.
For dessert, I had a banana napolean. The dish included peanut brittle, carmel and delicious bananas. I love bananas in dessert dishes, so I was completely happy.
The space is clean and modern; it’s a re-do of an old dairy building. Service was perfectly fine, nothing notable, but nothing bad. We were one of the only tables in there at 6, so that’s unsurprising.
