What User likes about Varlys Swiftwater Seafood:
We loved our lunch at Swiftwater yesterday. We ordered the crab cakes and two half and half fry baskets (half shrimp and half halibut). The shrimp was the best part and we both wished we had ordered more of it! The fries were very similar to McDonald's, which is high praise in my opinion. The perfect mix of soft, crunchy and salty. The Patio overlooking the harbor was the best spot in Whittier! View all feedback. What Molly S doesn't like about Varlys Swiftwater Seafood:
A little run down overall and its very small inside. The clam chowder was average and nothing special. Food was less than spectacular and overly priced. No bathroom. View all feedback.
