    Absolutely fantastic, we will be back. Staff were friendly, served straight away. The food was amazing, all well presented, hot and huge portions. Kids meals would feed 2 kids easily. A little on the pricier side but well worth it! Place was clean staff were quick to clean up after we left. I would highly recommend.

    A delightful place that I've visited many times for both catch ups with friends and functions. Each time the food has been perfect, which is why I keep returning.

    The area and decor is lovely. The service and food on other hand needs work. I understand not every service will have the best chefs, but my spastic brother can cook a better Parma, and for $29, they need to manage their cooking temps. Salt and pepper calamari should be renamed to just calamari. Also if you aren’t going to write down our order and just “remember” it, don’t forget something twice. It’s good the staff are such good friends though, had a lot to talk about at the bar. Won’t be back.

    I had the pleasure of hosting a last-minute event for a group of 40 at Switch Restaurant Narrewarren, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Amidst the chaos of a storm disrupting our original plans, the main manager, who exudes warmth, reason, and flexibility, stepped in to save the day. Despite having finished his day's work, he effortlessly coordinated everything we needed in just half an hour. The floor manager and their team also deserve immense praise for their grace under pressure. Despite the unexpected rush, they went above and beyond to ensure our event ran smoothly. Their dedication to service was evident in every detail, and the food they served was simply delicious. Our entire group was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by Switch Restaurant Narrewarren. Without a doubt, we will be returning in the future. Thank you, Switch, for going the extra mile and making our event unforgettable.

    Worst experience there yet… came there with my partner earlier today for lunch. We normally order the lamb pita - one gluten free one normal. Today we were informed by the waitress that they had no fire wood for the pizza oven and they couldn’t do the pita part of the food. So I asked them if they had any alternatives - and they said gluten free bread which was fine for me but my partner wanted chips instead as he wouldn’t eat the gluten free bread. So waitress went to speak to the kitchen, then the manager who then the manager spoke to the kitchen. After that they completely avoided us and started servicing other tables. No one came back to our table to talk to us or take our order. The bar girl kept looking at our table and was ringing her bell for one of the girls to come over but neither of them did. We cancelled our drinks order and left which the bar girl said “honestly I don’t blame you” so she clearly saw everything. Out of all the experiences I’ve had at this place this by far tops them all as the worst one and won’t be coming back - ever. Thank you for avoiding your customers for asking a question. You need better staff and customer service.

    Sorry, we couldn’t wait. It was amazing. Shout out to the wonderful Meliz for being accomodating and kind, and to the waiter Caz for being warm and welcoming.

    Had the ragu and pork ribs, pasta had perfect portions with good amount of beef, it tasted amazing. The ribs were covered in a really nice glaze and the meat fell off the bone with a good side of potatoes and sour cream. Sat outside and had a very nice vibe with heaters to keep warm. Service was quick and friendly, couldn't ask for more.

    I haven't been to Switch Fountain Gate in ages but it’s still a great and simple dining experience! The QR Code ordering system made the process incredibly simple and convenient. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service.

    Food was just ok…It was quite busy when we went, being weekend. Wait staff seemed like they were forced to be there and least interested to attend and serve tables. Food took a long time to the point that we were almost intending to cancel an order just as it arrived. Extra point just for the cashier who was bubbly and cheerful with great customer service 👏

    Very mid tier place to eat at Fountain Gate. I've been multiple times now and the food has been underwhelming each time. The drinks are decent as long as you don't order a slushy style one, as staff will overfill it and allow it to soak your whole table. There are better places to eat, go elsewhere if you can.

    The food was nice but the customer service could of been better and there isn’t that many vegan options on the menu, it seems to be the same since I last came a couple years ago

    Lamb shoulder with hommus and pistachios 7/10 - very yummy Parma - 5/10 not an awful take but not great, I didn't like the chips or salad Accidently got a mocktail - much to my disappointment lol (wasn't labeled well) The long island ice tea was pretty good

  • 4/5 Chelsea 4 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    I’ve never been here before and it was a very lovely looking place, food is yummy, they cater to your needs which is great. The chocolate milkshake I got was room temperate and tasted good at first but then about half way through it was just pure froth. Don’t get me wrong I love a bit of froth but not halfway through my drink! Overall it was pretty good.

    yesterday, I had dinner with my family, and let me tell you, the service was absolutely amazing! The staff was so attentive and friendly. And oh my goodness, the pizza was out of this world! It was so delicious that I couldn't resist getting a second one to take home for later. Trust me, you've got to try it! Highly recommend!

  • 1/5 Courtney P. 5 months ago on Google
    Been here twice within a week recently. One being Friday lunchtime and very empty. 45 minutes later and no drink or food... Asked waiter and due to "printer area" they didn't receive the order. Given a complimentary dessert while waiting for lunch & promised a decent discount for the inconvenience. Food good when arrived over an hour since ordering. At checkout given a $5 discount. Not impressed! Today with a group of 6 people for dinner, one never received their meal, waitress not listening to orders and customers. Multiple stuff ups ordering and receiving drinks. Trying to get staff attention very tricky! Terrible service!! Will not be coming back again!

  • 3/5 Nicole S. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the food here and the cocktails are seriously the best but the service leaves a lot of room for improvement. It is so hard to get somebody to come to your table if you're wanting to order more cocktails or dessert. If you know you'll want a second drink you're probably best ordering 2 to start or ordering as food is delivered because after that point they seem to be done with your table

  • 5/5 Vicki K. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was nice and came out very fast cocktails were awesome and price for food and drinks was good

  • 5/5 K N. 1 year ago on Google
    Thanks to the team at Switch for the great food & cocktails. Our waiter Darian was very tentative, great service thanks mate! Food came out fast, drinks as well and the new Watermelon Red Bull Mojito was amazing. Thank you to the Chefs who were flat out in the kitchen, the Lemon Chicken is still my favourite, and hubby loved the Texas Walker Parma. We will definitely be back!

  • 2/5 Lesley K. 4 months ago on Google
    The chicken Parma tasted like processed chicken and the chips were dry and horrible. The crispy chicken Asian salad the chicken tasted floury and the salad was mainly purple cabbage. The gnocchi was rubbery and only half eaten by the guest. The pizza one of our guests got looked and apparently was really nice. Most of us had finished our meals before drinks were brought out.

  • 2/5 Todd R. 3 months ago on Google New
    The staff were pretty good when we visited. Able to squeeze us onto a table without a booking on a busy Friday night. Staff were also reasonably good on table service. Meals came out fairly quickly, but it was the quality of the food that disappointed. The Ivan pizza was absolutely shocking. The taste was ok, but the olive oil from the pesto absolutely suffocated the pizza, looked like they drizzled half a bottle on top of the pizza. Was not appealing to pick up and eat. Our friend had the chicken burger and said it was average in flavour. The best part was probably the chips. They were cooked very well. The lemon lime bitters was lacklustre on flavour too. It really hasnt changed much since we used to go for dinners as teenagers. I'd hoped it had changed. I'd say if you want average food and an average experience, you've found the restaurant for you.

    Quite a nice space, love the green wall at the back, looks great. Service was good. Menu was quite extensive, lots of different items to choose from. Food was very expensive for what it was and really didn’t set the world on fire. We had two pizzas, my partner had Hawaiian and I can honestly say that it looked like a saddest Hawaiian pizza I’d seen for ages. I probably could have made one better at home…

  • 5/5 Tamara M. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was amazing (especially since the restaurant was packed to the max) everyone was friendly and happy. The food came out fast and hot. The food would have to be the best meal we have ever had. Highly recommend and please check out the cocktail menu

  • 3/5 Angela C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was really lovely and fresh. The special spring pan fried gnocchi was excellent. Staff were friendly enough, but after we finished eating our plates sat in front of us till we left, over an hour. And we would have loved another round of drinks.

  • 4/5 Mandie L. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed the Tacos and Hot Honey Chicken Baos here. The Lemon Lime Bitters was also quite lovely and refreshing. However, our highlight dish here was the dessert!!! Their Sticky Date Pudding was sooo delicious and beautiful - I couldn't get enough of it. The food here is a little on the pricey side though...

  • 5/5 Rabia A. 7 months ago on Google
    Love love love the food! I have been craving traditional parma, and this place has the best one! Great ambience and excellent service. Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Paul R. 6 months ago on Google
    Food quite good,ladies drinks very good but beer information was non existent. Person serving did not know if they had light or mid strength beer Essential with driving laws currently being enforced. But came back with info a little later. All in all would go back again.

  • 4/5 Shweta L. 8 months ago on Google
    Dined with friends for lunch. I had the lili had a little lamb - lamb shoulder wood fired for 16 hours, house made hummus, lemon, tomato, mint, spanish onion, parsley, chorizo oil, pistachios, char grilled turkish bread. It was tasty. My friends also enjoyed their lunch. Service friendly. Will return to try other menu items.

  • 1/5 jacqui d. 8 months ago on Google
    I’ve eaten at lots of places but this one disappointed me. The food was very average. I had salt and pepper calamari which came with just salad. The salad was like the bag of mixed lettuce leaves from coles. Not even one piece of cucumber, tomato or anything at all. A drizzle of dressing. You had to pay extra for a small bowl of chips, and I mean small. There was hardly any calamari. The dish all together was about $34. For that price, portions need to be more. At the end of the day the real cost is only the calamari as the cost of not even a handful of lettuce and the same with the frozen chips is minimal. Wouldn’t go back.
