The Golden Swan is a neighborhood French tavern in a historic West Village townhouse. The concept was inspired by an iconic New York restaurant of the same name that served as a den for artists and thieves in the 1900s. Chef Doug Brixton’s menu focuses on using only the best quality ingredients. Guests can enjoy both casual and elevated dining experience with menu highlights including The Brixton Burger and Dover Sole served tableside while 19th century inspired cocktails flow endlessly.
“Out with my besties!! Always fun times and The Golden Swan did not disappoint this evening. Promptly seated at a nice table by the window by the manager to celebrate my bestie birthday. Our server Isaiah was amazing. He told us about happy hour drink menu and entree specials for the evening. Decor was simple and very clean. However, the Apps and entrees we had was finger linking darn good lol. We started with the spicy Hummus with naan and the Artichoke Drip with crab meat with bruschetta. I had the fish and chips as did the birthday girl. My other friend had the filet branzino and we shared a side of roasted cauliflower with a lemon cream sauce. Service was great. The staff was highly attentive and always filling up our cups. I truly enjoyed our visit here and will definitely comeback for another after work outing. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who took excellent care of us. Highly recommended this place”
“Finally the old Spotted Pig space has been reborn and this place has done the space proud. Beautiful and cozy fine dining without any pretension. The spring salad is divine. Strip steak for two in a rich peppercorn sauce melted in the mouth. Duck fat fries among the best in the city :crispy outside and pillowy inside. Yummy cocktails. And the sticky toffee pudding would be a hit in London. Service amiable and efficient. Can't wait to go back.”
“I went to The Golden Swan with my friend and we had an amazing time. We ordered truffle pasta, a medium-rare steak with black truffles on top, foie gras, and cake with ice cream. We also had cocktails and wine. It was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The food was delicious and everything looked beautiful. The waiter was very nice and explained all the ingredients to us. The service was excellent. I’m really happy we had this experience.”
“What a gem of a restaurant! World class cuisine using the freshest ingredients. Perfect execution of techniques. Balanced dishes and well thought out. A must try spot! Updated for brunch: the best brunch in NYC! 3 special omelettes, (lobster, Burgundy Black truffle, and Caviar) cooked tableside to order. Outstanding! Top 3 pancakes in NYC. Must get Brixton Burger, you will not be disappointed!”
“The best staff, very friendly knowledgeable and attentive. The atmosphere is warm and not too stuffy. Although the food was good and well presented I found the Brixton burger to be so salty i almost wasn’t able to finish it. My wife loved the duck.”
