| - So, hubby and I decided to make the most of our $5 coupon received @ the Yelp birthday party, and we hit up Switch a few nights ago.
I did the ordering, and I'd say I did a pretty great job:
We started with the jumbo shrimp cocktail(the cockatail sauce included shredded carrots and finely diced celery, so it tasted wonderful on its own, as well), which came with a small salad drizzled in some sort of citrus-y vinaigrette(couldn't stop eating it, myself :)
I ordered a Greek side salad for him(cucumber, tomato, and onion chunks covered in creamy minty yogurt and some of the richest feta I've ever had)...I ended up stealing most of it LOL...
for my meal, I ordered the Sangria salad: greens, grapes, green apples, and juicy strawberries with toasted almond slivers and that same creamy crumbled feta, all of which was marvelously paired with a sangria-based vinaigrette...
and I ordered the Blueberry Duck for him...not quite as much meat as I'd expected, but the blueberry-port reduction was TO DIE FOR, and mixed beautifully with the potato puree(tasted kind of like a light gravy)...the sauces made the already-tender meat almost melt in my mouth!
with my meal, I had the Vanilla-Peach Italian soda over vodka(the vanilla was far too strong, it tasted as if there was Tuaca in there, or some similar syrupy liqueur, but I quite enjoyed the whole peach in the bottom of the glass :)
on to dessert: he had the chocolate layer cake(very, very rich and decadent frosting), and I ordered the strawberry creme brulee--absolutely mouthwatering! the crust of the brulee was so smoky and sweet, and it paired perfectly with the light, fresh strawberries and the lighter-than-air creme...it was heavenly with a glass of the Juno chardonnay(wonderful honey undertones)
all in all, I'd definitely return to Switch...and this time I'd order the Blueberry Duck for MYSELF :)
