We were recommended to Sweeney's and had a large group of ten with us when we visited on a Friday night. Service was good - not great. Food was excellant, although portions were not large. Matter of fact, of all the entree's the scallops seemed to be the smallest order. But I guess its better than everyone paying for huge portions and having too much food as most restaurants have today. There is money left over for appetizers or dessert. We ordered appetizers of lobster tails, crab cakes, etc that were all great. The bisque was to die for and I would recommended it to all. They also offer the option to add four shrimp (which were very large for $3.95) or other options such as lobster tail to an entree and I would recommend that big eaters do so. Not much atmosphere, but food was very good.
Pros: Food, Prices, Service
Cons: Ambience, Parking

My Fiancée and I decided to try Sweeney's even after hearing mixed reviews from our friends and relatives. Unfortunately we had a hard time siding with those who had positive reviews. Our service was rather non-existant, everything we ordered they were out of, and the food we finally were served was quite under par. The food was very plain, however, if we had ordered the fried fish (which the menu seemed plentiful of), we may have had a more positive experience. All in all a very disappointing experience.
Pros: None
Cons: Inconvenient parking, poor service

First off all, let me say that the person who didn't seem impressed and compared it to Red Lobster?!? I just don't know what to say. Personally, I find Red Lobster revolting and to compare this place to a Red Lobster, to me invalidates that persons review. True, the parking is not the best and the entrance is in the back, in fact, while the rest of my family liked the "ambiance" of the place, personally, I found it quite lacking, felt like I was in a cheesy seaside restaurant. the food, however was another matter. The food was outstanding, and for that I am both recommending it and intend to return again and again. It's probably not a place I would take someone for a business lunch or dinner if overall impression was important, but if you want great seafood, you won't go wrong here!
Pros: The Food!
Cons: parking, ambience

I tried Sweeneys while i was in Dayton on business, and found it to be average and not up to the 8.8 rating that it has. the service was great the food was ok but only on par with a Red Lobester.and it is a little pricey.
Pros: good service
Cons: hard to find, poor parking

We had such wonderful service. The service was great. The food was was one of the best seafood we have had in a long time! The stuff mushrooms are a must to try! Everthing was served fresh and hot. It is a shame that it is 6 hours from us!
