| - Maybe this review should actually be 5 stars... I can't really think of a reason Switch *doesn't* earn 5 stars, but in this age of grade inflation, I must be judicious with my stars. So yes, 4 stars, but if I could give half stars (and, why, Yelp, can I not?!), I would give this place 4.5 stars.
I've been here a handful of times and just LOVE it! The ambiance and decor is cool and modern, with a staff and clientele that are more down-to-earth than the hip decor would suggest. I love the variety of seating options, from a great patio, to a long shared table, to a bar, to laid back armchair seating configurations, to hightop tables, to typical half bench, half chair tables. There's a seating situation to suit everyone here.
But that's not why we go to restaurants, is it?! The food. So good. So so good. Admittedly I've only tried two entrees-- the triple grilled cheese and the mozzarella caprese sandwich, but that's because they're both so awesome that I find it hard to branch out. They have a tempting veggie burger that I keep vowing to try... maybe next time! This place has great selections for herbivores and omnivores alike-- my meat-eating dining companions have enjoyed burgers and sandwiches that they continually bestow with high praise. With sandwiches and burgers, you get your choice of sides-- all of which are delicious, but the mac n' cheese is out of this world. Creamy and delicious and addicting. And served with a sandwich, you'll certainly have plenty leftovers for lunch the next day- and who doesn't love that?
As an appetizer, I almost always start with the hummus which is delicious!! Just perfect-- great texture, great seasoning, not too much or too little of anything. The portion is large and it's served with plenty of warm pita bread, so order this one to share between two or more people. It' s served with some pickled red peppers and artichokes that I don't care for, but I just push those to the side and dive in.
And the drinks-- so so delicious! And their happy hour is fantastic- two for one. Plus they have a great all-day drink special each day of the week. They serve the unique 'drunken italian soda', a potent and sweet concoction that doesn't disappoint. Last night I had the red sangria and it was also fabulous! The sunrise margaritas are also fantastic. Basically the cocktails are unique, flavorful, potent, and reasonably priced-- who could ask for anything more?
The service is generally pretty good-- a solid 3-4 stars. Never stellar, never horrible. Just decent. This is probably where they lose the half star-- but not because it's bad, just because it isn't as awesome as the food, cocktails, or ambiance.
So it's settled... in my book, this place is a 4.5 and I'll be back again and again and again.
