Who We Are

Swaine’s is a family affair, founded by sisters Emily and Hannah Swaine. While Emily leads the kitchen, Hannah brings a background in operations and events to the restaurant, overseeing the day-to-day details that bring Swaine’s to life.

“Together, we wanted to create the kind of neighborhood restaurant we love most: warm, unfussy, and personal. A place for a great meal, a glass of wine at the bar, or a familiar face at the end of the week.

More than anything, Swaine’s is an extension of our family, and we can’t wait to welcome you into it.”
