Stop Hatin' - This Place Is A Gem! 
Swanky is amazing. I love this place. The food is spectacular. the sushi is amazing and the chicken fried rice is addictive. They must put crack in it or something, haha. Really, you must give this place a try. The staff is the friendliest ever. We came for a champagne tasting that was hosted by the General Manager and this really funny French guy. We had the best time! These guys really know what they're doing. The manager taught us so much about champagne we can't wait to go back and try everything. Love you Swanky. Don't ever change!

Not Swanky Enough 
I've been to this place twice and both times I was very disappointed. The food was poor at best and the service was equally poor. I did not think the menu was inventive or the atmosphere inviting. Basically the name is the best part about it.

Not worth it 
I feel like this whole area around the bottom of Market is full of overpriced crap tailored to money happy idiots from the suburbs who are too afraid to try an actual ethnic restaurant . This place served me this kind of pseudo-Asian nonsense that cost three times the price of an actual Asian restaurant. . . I feel sorry for these sheltered pricks who have no idea what crispy beef is supposed to taste like and settle for this.
PROS: The sushi was quite good.
CONS: Everything was overpriced and underportioned

Very Good!
I Definitely Recommend Swanky Bubbles! I am 20 and went with a group of my friends. We all enjoyed our food the music and the service! I'm vegetarian and found plenty of options. I liked the mexican roll, the veggie tempura, and the GOAT CHEESE CRISPS ^_^. my friends loved the chicken satay, dragon roll, and the banana boat dessert. we couldn't have any drinks :( (we were even carded at the door once), but the other patrons seemed pleasantly buzzed. The only cons are the stairs to the bathroom (the top stairs slant down and the bottom stairs slant up) 0.o and not everything on the menu is to die for. (lobster rissotto, crabcakes) .
I have been here a handful of times. It is definitely an olde city FAVE!
Pros: good food, prompt seating, capable waitstaff, private bathroom stall
Cons: stairs to bathroom, parking

Consistently Great!
I have been to this restaurant about 5 times, needless to say I love it here!! The staff is nice and the service is great. The food is for sharing so this place is great for groups but even good for alone time with your special person. The atmosphere is really good too - romantic but yet fun. Great food and drinks. Their Lobster Risoto is wonderful, filet mignon, sushi, you bascially can't go wrong with anything you order! One of my favorite cocktails is the Purple Passion - keep them coming! I will always recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants an enjoyable night out with your wife/hubby or with a good group of friends! Perfect. The prices are great too...not over priced! They have Valet parking too which is good. Can't go wrong with Swanky Bubbles!!!
Pros: food, drinks, service, atmosphere
Cons: none

Great atmosphere and drinks...sushi leaves room for desire
Fun bar, delicious champagne cocktails, great atmosphere, sushi ...is a little iffy. My first experience there was great all though the maki rolls were huge and a little messy (I wouldn't recommend it for a first date if you're trying to make a good impression). The second time I went I wasn't quite satisfied with my sushi. However, they do have a creative line-up of rolls and also offer a variety of cooked rolls for the raw-fish-phobic. It was good, but it has still left me in search a truly great sushi restaurant in the city. I would definitely go back for drinks though!
Pros: nice atmosphere, great drinks, creative menu
Cons: messy sushi, not always the freshest, can get expensive fast

just ok
I finally went to Swanky Bubbles recently and was dissapointed. We were a little late for our reservations and had to sit upstairs. Maybe that ruined it, because the ambience downstairs is definitely preferred. Upstairs is mostly used for big groups and the did not continue the decorating or theme up there. Our server was bored and uninterested even though she knew it was our first time there. The sushi was ok and my entree (thai dish w/ fried wontons instead of rice) was incredibly salty! The only positive was the yummy champagne cocktail. But there were so many choices on the sushi and cocktail menus, it would have helped to have a server that cared to give suggestions and make the experience worth it. If I go back again I would only sit downstairs, but definitely will not be rushing back.
