Swan Oyster Depot has received numerous 1-star reviews following an online post that hinted at the restaurant's support for Donald Trump. A TikTok user shared an image of a hat with Trump’s presidential numbers displayed inside the restaurant. This post circulated on Reddit, prompting many negative comments and criticisms. Kevin Sancimino, co-owner, clarified that the hat was a gift from a customer and does not reflect the restaurant's political stance. The establishment often showcases various items from customers collected over the years.
"Yeah, I normally would not care what party someone is for but with all the crazy stuff [Trump] is doing lately, if you openly support him I am going to start calling you out and bringing my business elsewhere."
"I hope the ghost of Anthony Bourdain haunts them," another Reddit user said, as they referred to the beloved celebrity chef's famous visit to Swan Oyster Depot during an episode of 'Parts Unknown.'
