Encore: Switch Closing July 22 (Updated)

Hmm, I guess posting a review now won't be that useful. So I'll post the short form here: they dramatically overcooked my steak, and then disappeared for so long that I asked the guy filling water glasses to fix it. They won't be missed.

I wasn't bothered by the changing decor at all, tho I wish it was more "Chinese menu" and less "here's three designs, by the time you're done eating you'll see each one twice and not be in the least intrigued by it."

Similar experience here. The steak was flavorless except for the overcharred and salty crust on a medium rare filet. (It was pink in the center however... I'm not sure how they pulled that off...). Service was great when they were around.

The ambiance was cool but, agreed with heresiarch, got old real quick... Especially when waiting for service. "That's our third change while waiting for the bill!"

I only stopped by last time to snap a video of the switch sign outside which used to rotate but, alas its been "broken" for 2 years now and, like the Paris balloon, maintenance wasn't a priority...

Loved the sign, caught a few pictures of it when it originally worked. It wasn't broken however. When they constructed the beach club they moved it, and just never bothered to make it work again. It was at that point I knew that Switch was really doomed.
