    I had to give this review based on the experience I had last Sunday during brunch. If Ramon is your server you should immediately ask for someone else. After rudely being told we'd have to wait for coffee because it was still brewing, he walked away as I asked what the breakfast special was. He definitely heard me. When he finally brought our coffees, he dropped the cream on the floor and it got all over my feet. I understand mistakes happen, but he did not apologize. Muttered "shit" and went to get a rag. He wiped up the floor but did not offer me any napkins for my feet. We then ordered food. We waited an hour for our food to come out. The table of 6 next to us, who ordered after us, was served before us. I'm pretty confidant he forgot to put our order in. The food was delicious & fantastic, up to Switch's standards. The service was not. I did speak to a manager who offered to take our coffees off the bill. Then I went home and had to wash my feet and sandals from the spilled cream. All could have been fixed with a simple apology & some napkins.

    I previously loved everything about this place. I hope to go back and have a better experience like my previous ones.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW August 2012

    Very nice ! We came for HH to try some apps and have a look-see .

    Great vibe and atmosphere ..tonight was free wine tasting from (Southern wine ?) with donations to help Arizona animal league. we decided to stay a while longer for the tasting  .(Eh ,the wine was ok) ,glad we could help some animals, hopefully.

    Switch itself was awesome !
    We had a great time.
    The hummus was tasty,  really loved the lamb lettuce wraps these were super yummy and really flavorful .
    We also tried  a new drink to us called pom-pom passion ( light and refreshing )

    friendly and fun service ( thank you)

    we look forward to having dinner here .

    Update;

    Decided to have dinner here last night.

    We started our night with the lettuce wrap app (chicken,feta and fig) loved it !
    We both had the seared scallops with leeks and tomato jam ,it was a pretty plate and it was a delicious light meal .Blond sangria hit the spot .

    This was our 2nd time,(HH was enjoyable)
    Dinner confirmed the following facts  -cool place, cool people,  a great place to relax and eat a decent meal at a reasonable price ( really inexpensive)

    we will be back !

    Switch offers a variety of food options from healthy choices to comfort food. The menu is very eclectic, and I have yet to have a bad meal from here. The portions sizes are very generous for the price and service has always been good. Some of my faves include:
    - mac & cheese: rich, creamy, flavorful cheese sauce over penne
    - caprese sandwich: typical ingredients with a great pesto vinaigrette
    - burger: your basic burger, not too fancy, but great on taste
    Also, if you're looking to tie one on, they have some fantastic drink specials especially on Sundays where you can get carafes of mimosas, bloody marys, etc. for $3.

    So I am a part of a June 2012 mommies group online.  There's a few of us that are located in Phoenix and we decided to all meet up for the first time and do a Mom's Night Out this past Friday evening.  Our original plan was to meet at Fuego, but instead we switched it to Switch.  

    We have a 7:30 reservation for 5 of us.  One of the mom's had something come up with her LO, so it ended up being just 4 of us.  We all arrived within minutes of each other - last one arriving at about 7:40 or so.  We're greeted and asked for our drink order - easy peasy.  That's where the decent customer service ended and turned into at best, mediocre.  Our drinks arrive and we're still looking over the menu (and chit chatting at the same time).  Our server, Angel (according to the Associate name on my receipt), came back a few times to take our dinner order...but we were still deciding on what we were going to get.  He tried to make recommendations to one of the gals, who is a picky eater, and we thought..okay..we'll get to order.  He left and didn't return to our table for at least 30 minutes.  He finally comes back and it had been so long that we had forgotten we hadn't ordered yet.  

    We order and our food arrives (3 of us order salads, and the other ordered a sandwich) about 15 minutes later - Time is now going on 9:00pm.  Our server disappears again for at least another 45 minutes.  He finally comes back and asks us if we want boxes.  We say no, and you'd think he'd already have the check ready.  Think again.  The time stamp on my bill states 10:07 pm.  The only good thing he did was he split the check for us based on Guests.  

    I had a Yelp Check-In offer, $10 off a bill of $50 or more.  Our bill after taxes was over $60.  We decided to not use the Check-In offer because we didn't want to confuse our server and end up waiting around for another 30-45 minutes.  We had tables around us come and go, but yet there we were still sitting and waiting.    

    We were there in total about 2 hours and 40 minutes - all for 3 salads, a sandwich, 2 glasses of wine, and an iced tea.  

    Friday Night Mommy Fellowship - Fantastic!
    Food - Average.
    Our Server Angel - Terrible!

    Solid happy hour, portions large, and price not too bad.

    First of all, keep your eyes out when trying to find this place on Central because the sign if freaking small. Parking wasn't too big of a problem for a Friday night, and we were seated quickly.

    The ambiance of the restaurant is trendy and kinda dark in my opinion. The music was a mix of 80's/oldies and was very interesting. Between me and the bf we started off with the Crunchy Onion rings and margaritas, and they were so-so. Rings were traditionally breaded, nothing to write home about.

    Tried some of the Switch House burger, and the Apricot Feta BBQ chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was pretty juicy and flavorful, the burger not so much. The meat seemed to be a tad bit overcooked.

    Overall okay, no standouts here.  If f you're craving bar food then this would be the place to go I suppose.

    I've been to Switch on many occasions and have enjoyed it.  This last time was no exception.  Meeting up with some friends before heading out for the evening, we decided to get some apps & drinks start the evening.  

    Well all ordered one thing and shared which was a great idea so we could try all the dishes.   Our own little tapas bar.

    1) Switch Lettuce Wraps: 4 mini lettuce cups with a combination of chicken, goats cheese, cashews, red onions, and an amazing fig balsamic dressing.
    2) Crispy Rosotto Croquettes:  Panko crusted balls of sun-dried tomato & parmesan cheese risotto.   I've had nothing like these before.  YUM!
    3) The Hummmus: This was a your typical hummus, however it was bountiful.
    4) Bruschetta Sextet:  They looked good, but I didn't end up trying these.  I've had them in the past and it's a wonderful

    Overall we had a great meal and good time.  Our service was very good and as always the food was excellent!  

    I'm going to miss this place when I move :(

    Switch has been one of my absolute favorites since they've been around.  I have had the pleasure of gathering with friends for birthday dinners here year after year and many happy hours, dinners, lunches, and brunches.  I don't think I have ever had a bad experience, and I usually leave thinking that visit was better than the last.  I've gone to Switch for dates, and while the place is always boisterous, it always feels intimate and private.  The decor is beautiful - lots of blues and browns with gorgeous local art hanging on the walls.  It's just an all-around great place to visit!

    My favorites:

    - The Blonde Sangria.  Hands-down my favorite drink in CenPho.
    - The hummus & pita, especially with lots of roasted red peppers.
    - The Cowboy Burger.  The BBQ sauce is just perfect.
    - The $6 carafes of screwdrivers & mimosas during the weekend brunch. Need I say more?

    The staff is exceptionally friendly (and unusually good-looking!), service is always top-notch, and the food & drinks are awesome.  I'm a Switch fangirl for life!

    Went here on a Sunday afternoon with the family and was a bit skeptical at first. The prices seemed too cheap and I was worried it wouldn't deliver. Luckily, the food across the board was quite good for a casual American restaurant. A steamed clam appetizer with bacon and jalapenos was excellent, and my Chillaquilles was legit.
    Others had sandwiches and salads and all were happy, especially with the cheap drinks.
    All in all, a good little find for downtown Phoenix.

    Switch is awesome. If you read nothing beyond that sentence, its OK.

    The decor is very modern and sleek, and the music adds a good ambiance without drowning out conversation. The drinks are creative, and affordable. The wine selection is good, and also affordable.

    Where Switch blows me away every time is the food. Whether you want something light, healthy and refreshing or something over-the-top decadently rich, there are options for you. The cast iron clams are not to be missed, and on a hot day the Spartan pita really satisfies without overdoing it.

    When it comes to sides, don't pass on the Mac 'n Cheese, but the one that keeps my mouth watering days after I've had it is the greek feta, cucumber and tomato salad. Talk about refreshing!

    The other piece that makes Switch cool is the service, they are really attentive and the staff have definite personalities that make dining here a lot of fun!

    Checked it out on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised.  Drinks are healthy pours and appetizers are tastily enjoyable and enough for two.  Sevice staff is happy to have us there.  Will have to return for dinner.

    This place is fantastic! It would get 5 stars if the prices were a little lower. But to be honest, I did not feel ripped off. It was delicious. I got Spicy Blue Cheese burger, really tasty. It has celery, but still really tasty.

    The Atmosphere is great. So we got there a little early and sat in the waiting area. I was worried that the noise was going to ruin dinner. Once we were seated. That worry was completely eliminated. Had conversations without having to yell or hear the next table.

    The server was great. He was attentive and listened. We made reservations and forgot to note that someone in our party had a birthday. Once we mentioned it as "It's this ones' birthday." The server took that cue and made sure to get us their birthday special cookie with melting ice cream.

    I would go back over and over. I really like this place.  If it is not summer, their patio would be awesome to sit and eat at.

    Yelp also had a $10 off check in coupon for over $50.00, so it made the meal that much sweeter.

    Good food, good service. I found this restaurant because it was near the hotel I am staying at and thought it would be something that myself and my teenager can enjoy. The menu is on the upscale side but my son found the triple cheese grilled cheese and really enjoyed it. The food was good and both of us had a great meal. Next time I'm in town I would visit again.

    I love Switch and I come here almost every Monday night for my always amazing $5 burger!!!

    However, it is true, the staff, especially the host is a little snotty. There are many times that I had to wait standing up next to the host because my other friend, who was only a few minutes away, was not at the restaurant yet. It is especially annoying to have to wait when the restaurant isn't even busy. If only they would realize that people usually order more drinks if they are seated at their table while they are waiting for the rest of their party to arrive. It is a silly policy and they should realize that it will only drive customers away. If their burgers weren't as amazing, I'm sure that I would be turned off and wouldn't return...but I'm a sucker for a good burger!

    Upon entering I totally loved the vibe of this place. I went here at lunch time with a colleague from work and the ambience was great. It was a little loud but it was nothing to complain about. We had about a 5 minute wait and our waitor was super friendly and hospitable. With my garden salad I requested balsamic vinegarette and my waitor also brought me the sangria house dressing. OMG it was delicious! I need to find the recipe for that. I also tried the Lobster & Crab roll and my mouth was serioously watering with every bite. I wish I had visited Switch my first day in town but once I'm back in Phoenix, I will be sure to stop by again. Excellent service and food..yummy all around!

    I went there for lunch on Saturday. Comfortable atmosphere, good food and attentive service. I had the switch burger - delicious. However, I would hesitate to take my kids there at a later time. There were a bit too many same sex couples openly showing their affections at the lunch hour. I prefer not to have that kind of show, even heterosexual, when I eat, particularly when with my family.

    Some friends and I visited here last Sunday prior to a concert at the Crescent Ballroom. The friends arrived early and enjoyed happy hour and said all their food was really good. When we arrived at the end of happy hour, we tried a few different flavors of their vodka italian soda's that were descent. I probably wouldn't order them again and try one of the sangria's or at my friends recommendation, the margarita. I ordered the very berry turkey with side salad and it was delicious!  The bread was wonderful and even the small side salad was really good with their house dressing. That patio is tucked away in the back of the building with cool lights hanging overhead. Service was good though she could have a been a bit more friendly. Looking forward to coming back!

    For this first visit, I'm gonna give them 3 stars.
    Why?
    Well my first impression of this restaurant was - UGH. Snobby.
    A few friends and I were meeting up for dinner here; I carpooled with one friend and we arrive a bit earlier to see if we could take advantage of the happy hour menu. At most places, if they have HH specials, they will have you wait at the bar if you are waiting for a table, and will say something like "OH! do you wanna order something off the HH menu? We only have a few minutes left!!!"

    Not here. Not only did the host snottily ask us if we had a reservation (which we didn't.... my problem with this is HOW he spoke to us), and then told us that we would have to wait. When we asked if we could order HH stuff at the bar, he rudely waved his hand in the air, gesturing towards the clock and huffed "It's too late! HH is over!" and walked away..... Which we actually had about 5 minutes till it was over, but ok. We definitely did not feel welcome here. Yeah, kinda started our experience here off on the wrong foot.

    So we sat in the lounge area and waited for the rest of our party before we could be seated. The host reserved part of the long community table by the kitchen for our party, which is RIGHT NEXT to where we were waiting, and wouldn't seat us until EVERYONE was there. And it wasn't very busy either. I don't have any issues waiting for a table when it's busy and what not, but literally we sat right next to the mostly empty table with reserved signs on it for about 15-20 minutes.

    Thankfully, our server was AMAZING and really nice - he made it a great night for us. We all really enjoyed our meals - and my burger was $5 since it was a Monday! It was delectable. We tried the lemon blueberry bread pudding, which was simply amazing.

    SOOOOO, in review - our meal went from bad to amazing. Just wish the whole experience was awesome. I do plan on returning to dine on the beautiful patio, so we'll see how that experience goes.

    This is definitely a new mom review.

    I like this place, but I don't know if this restaurant really wants to be represented as the cool place to hang out with your little kids. My friend and I went to lunch today and we had great customer service from Jake and good food (Lobster Roll and Salad Special), while enjoying the weather on the patio. Our kids were with us and we we were lucky that there were only two kids since they had one highchair and one booster seat for the entire restaurant! I didn't get a good look inside so I don't know if space is an issue, but at least there was a diaper changing station in the women's restroom. So, I guess you should bring your child's own booster seat if you would like to dine here.

    Bottom line: Good food, good service, and no one seemed to mind that I used a (clean) child's sock to make a hand puppet to amuse our kids. Just be willing to bring your own booster seat. Or at least one for your kid.

    I've been here twice, and I really enjoy it.

    I find that a lot of restaurants in Phoenix have issues with check-splitting; however, the wait staff here never has a problem with it and are extremely courteous and polite.

    I had the Murano Chick and Prosciutto sandwich and a side of mac and cheese. Both were good, although the mac and cheese could stand a little additional seasoning. The time before I had their risotto, which I thought was bland. Everything else I have tried has been delicious though. They have some good speciality cocktails and good specials each week.

    No early bird special?  How will Switch ever survive in a town where the old folks sleep before the sun sets!   (Story: Sunday night, every place in closed - literally, our three bookmarked Yelp spots in downtown.  What's up with that, PHX?  Luckily, Yelp pointed us to Switch off the beaten path north of downtown.)

    Always get a seat at the back patio.  And don't be a pansy by asking to turn on the heat lamps - get an extra drink instead.  It's only Arizona "cold."

    - $6 Red Sangria - Served in a tall highball glass.  The fruit blend was unique with apples, strawberries, and blueberries.  And of course, who doesn't love sangria?   (The abundant other cocktails were dirt cheap at $6-$9!)

    - $12 Lobster and Seafood Crepe (3) - I didn't taste much of the crab and shrimp, but there was a lot of lobster.  Paired with the béchamel sauce, the crepes were a delicious, lighter fare.  The accompanying, seasonal long baby asparagus were fresh and tender.

    - $11 Thai Braised Beef Tacos (4) - So much flavor in the tacos from the marinated beef and the sauce, although a bit drippy.

    Five stars, and the extra sixth star is for subtly advertising on the drink menu that there are $4 Screwdriver & Bloody Mary carafes and $6 Mimosa carafes for weekend brunch.  Consider it a Yelp tip for when I come back.  Well played, sir.

    Went to this place due to the yelp reviews and also because it is owned by the same owners as Metropolis, a new wine bar cafe in Scottsdale. The food was inventive, which I really liked. We had lettuce wraps with ground lamb, roasted red pepper, goat cheese, cashews and purple cabbage. We also had slow roasted pork with poblano peppers, pickled onions over a corn pudding. Both were delicious. We also tried their chicken pops, which was fried chicken with BBQ sauce. Service was fantastic too. Cool vibe at this place.

    We tried, we really did.  But there is only so much a customer can take before you declare, "never again".  
    I made a reservation for this place on the phone because I was told that it gets crowded due to their great happy hour specials, especially on Monday.  I spoke to a male on the phone and had an extended conversation about my party of 10 reservation on the patio. We discussed whether they seperate checks, the fact that our party needed to be complete before we are seated, etc.
    So I get to Switch and they don't have my reservation. Not only that, but the diva male behind the counter couldn't have been ruder about it to me or my other party members who got there before me.  There was no "I'm so sorry about that". There was no "Let's fix this". Nothing .  What we did get was "You don't have a reservation."  I tried to expain that I spoke at length to an individual there.  The arrogant guy hosting didn't want to hear it and his reply was "when your party gets here we'll try seating you, but it gets busy here on Mondays".

    Strike #1

    So our party gets there and we opt to sit on the couches on the patio.  Did anyone wait on us?  No.  We had to ask for menus and we did get them.  Then we sat.  And sat some more.  It was NOT busy yet and most of the tables were still empty on the patio.

    Strike #2

    Finally a surly waiter comes up and begrudingly takes our order.  Between his mumbling and seemingly painful interaction with us, I'm not sure what was more insulting.

    Strike #3

    We got our drinks and persused the menu. It's a good thing they have a lot of options because we didn't see our waiter again for quite some time and we were able to memorize said menu.  We finally got our waiter to take our orders and we waited some more......  
    During our experience there we were laughing at how rude everyone had been and shrugged it off as them being irritated that we "didn't have reservations".  Then we saw another male from a party behind us stomp off declaring "I'm going to find a waiter".  Clearly we weren't the only ones dealing with slow wait staff.

    In all, the burgers here were delicious, as was a friends' salad. However the rude staff made my decision solid: I will never go back there again.

    I'm not sold on their brunch but have been known to dine on their grilled chicken breast - so yummy with that charred grill taste - and the wedge fries. They do grilled veggies really well too. Simple and affordable and delicious.

    The staff is really attentive and friendly as well.

    Was not sure if we'd be getting service or not.  Came in for dinner & drinks with a small group of ladies and I felt like we were bothering the host and servers for being there.   It took a long time to get menus and once we ordered, it was an hour before we got our food. (3 burgers, 1 salad and 1 mac & cheese).  After awhile the service from our server got a bit better.

    Food was good.  If you're wanting to sit and wait a long for service & food and don't mind being snubbed by the staff, this is the place for you.

    I had a good experience here. I went here for a goodbye happy hour party for a friend. We ended up there on a Wednesday and ordered a ton of apps and drinks.

    The drinks were ok, they had a nice flavor, but I did not get the buzz I was looking for, so I just drank the happy hour wine.

    The food was really good though. On Wednesday they have this cheese tray for 5 dollars. It was amazing. You have to get it.

    The rest of the appetizers were delicious as well. I had these risotto balls. They were so good, I am still thinking about them. Everyone seemed to have a really good time.

    Its not very baby friendly so I probably won't be back again since she is my foodie and we love to explore new places. If I had a sitter though and was invited, I would def be back.

    Not too much to say since I have been here 2 times.   Once for dinner and 2nd time for breakfast.
    The first time I had a sandwich which was decent and priced right.
    the 2nd time was a couple of weeks ago and I went with a large group for breakfast.  I do not eat early in the day but thought if they had something that appealed to me I may order something.  I did not find anything that I wanted and saw that mostly everything on the menu included potatoes.  If you could only order eggs without all the potatoes, etc.
    I may go back again for either lunch or dinner as the employees were very courteous and friendly.

    Switch is an all time favorite.  We have been there at different times of day and are never disappointed by the food or the wait staff.  If you would like to take the kids, make sure its a lunch.  The night time atmosphere is clearly adult, with techno beats and barely lit ambiance.  

    For starters I like the Bruschetta Sextet to share. If we are in a small group we will get two and there is usually something for everyone's taste.  Salads are not your normal fare.  The Sangria is a nice summer  lunch with its field greens, grapes, strawberries, almonds, goat cheese and Sangria dressing.  The fresh Mozarella salad is also good, but I'm not a big fan of the honey vinaigrette.  The Super Chop Salad is huge and easily makes a meal and a half.  

    Burgers.  I am damn picky about my burgers.  The Switch Burger is a monster.  9 ounces of ground Angus beef could clog your arteries.  But the taste is so worth it.  I get mine without the Canadian bacon.  The goat cheese gives it a tangy twist.  The Classic Burger is not far off.  It too has 9 ounces, but you get to choose the normal toppings.  The one that gets high fives in our family is the Cowboy Burger.  Most of the time we go BBQ sauce free.  The bacon, cheddar and garlic aioli all create a taste that we come back for.  

    Sandwiches?  They have sandwiches.  The Cola braised BBQ Pork, the Mozzarella Caprese Ciabatta, and the Eastport Lobster Roll are all equally yummy.  Alright, the best dish and shining glory of this place is the Lobster and Crab Mac and Cheese.  It is sooooo good.  You know you shouldn't eat it.  Your doctor would probably say it will raise your cholesterol, but who the hell cares.  This is comfort food at its finest.  

    Desert is also a trip down sugar coma row.  However, it too is worth it.  We love the Red Velvet Cake, the Creme Brulee, the Fairy Tale Brownie Sundae and, of course, the Bread Pudding.  Each is wonderful for its own reasons.  However, I lean towards the Bread Pudding and the Red Velvet Cake.  

    I highly recommend this restaurant.  The wait staff is always fun.  The chef knows his business.  And the food is always good.

    Wow, My husband and I have been going to switch for about a year and half now (so my review is way over due).  
    First off lets start off about the staff. Everyone is so incredible. You will never have bad service. Chrissy is our personal favorite. She has been serving us for a good portion of the year and we absolutely love her. She is fast with bringing drinks recommending food options and creating drinks.
    Now on to the food, WOW the chef is outstanding he creates magic out of burgers. My husband is obsessed with the  burgers. He loves the cowboy burger. Since he first tried their burgers he will not get anything else.
    For anyone who doesnt like red meat he also tried the bean burger ( recommendation from Chrissy) and really enjoyed it.

    I have Never had a horrible meal here and recommend it to every one I know.
    I have gotten my mom hooked on their mac and cheese she goes once a month with her coworkers.

    if you are close or far go try switch,( we live on I17 and Jomax and drive al the way down there at least once a week)
    You wont be sorry!

    I've been coming here with co-workers for at least two years.   My husband and I were back here in December and I noticed they had made some small changes to the menu.  Specifically my favorite grilled cheese panini with Gouda was gone which forced me to find something else. (Boo!)

    I decided on the Caprese sandwhich and it was PHENOMENAL.  I gave some to my husband because he was still hungry after eating his meal and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish.  He's not a vegetarian and even he liked it.  It was so good I started ordering the Caprese sandwich at other local restaurants and have yet to find its equal.  All other Caprese sandwiches are now compared to the one at Switch.

    The atmosphere is always fun.  When I come here for happy hour we usually try to sit outside because they have a cute patio with couches.  The decor inside is a little dark but I like it.

    So I went to Switch and walked into the back door, that faces Central Street and not the cozy entrance that would have been perfect if it wasn't so cozy. I need to come back and hang out in the couch-filled lounge area up front one day. (Has very little to do with the review, except that it must be super nice to hang out and drink outside when the temperature allows for such an endeavor)

    Ambiance
    Its dark and cozy, in a hipsteriffic way - but the clientele doesn't shout hipster at all. I really enjoyed how they had the setup of this place, and the design and the atmosphere really works. The staff was way friendlier than the ambiance suggests - which definitely helps with reasons why I will be back. Not saying anything bad about the ambiance, because the place definitely is well thought out and designed - it's just that some people can be intimidated by hipster hangouts. I'm not one of them.

    Food
    We had sandwiches. I had the Rioja Panini to which I added Prosciutto, and it was fantastic. For a sandwich, it was all I expected and more. Well done, generous enough servings and very very tasty. The presentation didn't lack either, in short this was quite nice.

    Drinks
    Switch have some interesting beverages suggested on the menu. I tried some and they were tasty, quite strong and for $3 before 630. The only complaint I have is that some of their drinks were too strong for my date, (when do you ever get that complaint) but this was rectified as soon as it was mentioned to our server. I would come back for the drinks alone. (Especially if I can hang out in the before mentioned outside lounge area.)

    Service
    I must say, if any of the categories above would have been negative, it still would be lifted by the service. It was nothing short of stellar. My party had a gentleman that was knowledgeable, opinionated (in an awesome way) and attentive. Yes, he made a faux pas by forgetting our appetizer, but that just left room for the dessert (which he recommended and was awesome). Stellar service, absolutely stellar.

    Switch just made my favorite restaurant in Phoenix. I can see coming here with any kind of party, it really made an impression on me, and I will bring them business. It had that kind of milieu that makes you want to revert to a more polite version of yourself.

    Our first Switch experience was watching the election results come in with some friends.
    Small bar, itty bitty really, but we had a great time.
    Their specials are always really great, drinks and food.  You really can't beat their prices and I've yet to have anything I didn't like.
    Our service has always been top notch.  The bartenders have been friendly and knowledgeable.  They have always added to our experience and made our time there that much better.

    I've made the mistake of liking Switch's Facebook page.  Good thing their prices are so great, otherwise I'd end up in the poor house because every time they post the nights specials with a picture of whichever Delicious dish they are featuring I am sold.

    I had the best culinary experience of my 8 years in Phoenix tonight. First time at Switch. Started off with some appetizers; pesto & sun dried tomato risotto, marinated chicken breast, Mac n cheese. All delicious!  

    Next my wife orders the blackened salmon. I looked at her with my wtf scowl. We don't even eat seafood. "It looks interesting" she says. Whatever. It gets to the table and it's the biggest hunk of salmon I've seen. We simultaneously stab into it with our forks, take a bite, and we look at each other like the first time we fell in love. The combination of the salmon, bacon and sautéed greens was out of this world. Coupled with the bread pudding and sweet tomato concoction put me over the top.

    We let the waitress know what we experienced and to thank the chef. She brought him out and he spoke with us for about 15 minutes. Jason is touched by the hand of God. He proceeded to tell us what he had planned for tomorrow's dinner menu and we made reservations on the spot for tomorrow night.

    I never knew food could profoundly affect your mood but I was driving home singing my heart out to my iPod. Got home, plugged the iPod into the stereo and continued the concert, danced with my dog and made me a latte.  Perfect night.  

    Thank you Jason and Switch.

    I love love love Switch.  I was there two weeks ago for the first time, on a Saturday night after a concert.  My room mate and I were looking for great food and drink specials around 8:00pm..  I reached out to Yelp and was introduced to Switch!

    The $3.00 martinis (cosmo, lime or blueberry) are the stiffest and tastiest drinks I have ever had, outside of me making them at home.  The blueberry martini is my favorite and it comes with delicious fresh blueberries floating in the bottom of the glass.  

    The food is delectable, which is why I decided to have my second event for my group: East Coast Foodies on the West: AZ Edition yesterday.  

    I loved the clams, which came out in a cast iron skillet smothered in a yummy garlic and herb base with tomatoes, corn, and other vegetables with a side of yummy warm crusty bread.

    I am also a sucker for the moist grilled and marinated chicken breast that is only $3.95 for a nice helping and creamy sun dried tomato risotto croquettes!

    The ambiance is sexy, chic, and trendy; it reminds me of a lot of bars/restaurants on the East coast where I am from.  I truly felt at home, relaxed, and full.

    I will be back, soon!

    Unbelievably rude service. I came here on a Sunday with two friends and we were the first people in the restaurant. We waited at the front for a while and the servers were too busy chatting with each other to acknowledge us so we sat ourselves. Once our server realized we had sat ourselves she had the audacity to tell us to in a very condescending tone to "wait for the hostess in the future". Again, we were the only people there. Do you really think you can be that rude to people when they sit down and expect them to stay?

    We got up and left, and I will not return. Switch has been officially scratched off my list of Sunday brunches for this ridiculous behavior and I will be sure to tell anyone who suggests we visit in the future.
