The steak cooked perfectly. Wonderful bottle of wine. Beautiful mountain views. Outstanding waiter. Checked on us often but did not hover. Would recommend this place for a top of the line dining experience.

My husband ordered the bacon wrapped meatloaf - which was very tasty and great portion size. Our server, James was very helpful and personable.

Our server gladly took them back, but the 3rd person was finished before the two new medium rare steaks came back. Traditionally, we receive a visit from the manager that would confirm the new steaks arrived and everything was now acceptable. We did not. After dinner service there was not a check back for drinks etc. Once the table was cleared we waited 15 minutes for our server to come back to see if we would like dessert. The food was amazing, but the service was sadly extremely disappointing for the price point.

The menu is designed to offer patrons a broad selection of dishes. Our waiter Ben knew his menu cold, while a curious personality he was as attentive as time allowed.

Despite several requests for an explanation, Switchback never bothered to apologize for the inconvenience or even offer an explanation. A restaurant that treats people as cavalierly as Switchback cannot be trusted as a dining destination.
