    We traditionally went the Switchback for Thanksgiving dinner when they had a great buffet. No buffet now, just off the menu. I was looking forward to a nice ribeye, but the only option on the menu was an 18 oz (not bone in) for $85 and that didn't include sides, so I opted for the $65 12 oz prime rib. The outer fringe meat was tasty, but the center a little chewy. My wife economized with the $48 Macadamia encrusted Alaskan Halibut which was served with coconut risotto and grilled asparagus. The Halibut was overcooked and dry, but the asparagus risotto was tasty. I don't mind paying a price for a good, well-presented meal at a fine dining establishment, but the Switchback misses the mark. BTW the bread was a $12 menu item.

    Outstanding meal from start to finish. We have eaten at Seitchback a few times and it has never disappointed us. Excellent steaks, amazing wedge salad and the creamed spinach was decadent. Our waitress Amber took very good care of us. Lovely evening at a lovely restaurant!

    Food was ok, service lacking attention. Loud kids running around. Not what I expected for over a couple hundred dollar meal.

    The food was delicious, especially the macadamia nut crusted halibut and the chocolate banana bread pudding!

    The wedge and scallops were great but the steak was not good. No flavor and tasted like a grill. Way overpriced for quality of food.

    Excellent steak, a bit pricey though. Sides are large portion and shareable.

    We had an excellent dinner and good service from a knowledgeable wait staff. It was a bit pricey. We ordered cocktails which were in no way generous on the pour for the price. We suggest ordering wine instead. It was very crowded. Reservations definitely required.
