A very special night highlighted by a fantastic tasting menu of the highest quality. the service was impeccable - reliable & informative. the wines selected from the drinks menu were as described to us by the drinks person. the view from our table to the river outside added to the occasion. You pay for what you get - which is sensational food from Tasmania & Bass Strait.

Celebrated another birthday dinner at Switch. Great company, delicious food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. The chicken tacos were packed with flavour! The nutella donuts were nice, but way too much for one person. Perfect to share between 3 people.
