   Great views and table, wonderful evening and service. It is super nice to have fine dining options so close to a national park.

   Whenever we visit Zion National Park, we book a reservation at the Switchback Grille. My husband loves the meatloaf. Thank you James for the excellent service and warm welcome.

   Absolutely amazing meal. Had the best meat of my life and I grew up the son of a butcher. The Lamb is worth every penny of the market price, the au gratin potato’s mmmhhh, top notch meal in a nice setting.

   I had never been to Springdale, Utah nor to the Switchback Grille. I will return because of the spectacular Zion National Park. But, I would make the trip to Springdale just to have dinner at the Switchback Grille because of their service and the food. The service was excellent, from the woman who welcomed us and took us to our table, to the excellent, friendly and knowledgeable waiter and from our server! The meals were better than excellent! Our meals were probably the best we've ever had. The next time we're in Utah we will be dinning at the Switchback Grille!!

   $56 petite filets. Unacceptable. $12 small bland awful side dishes. Way way too expensive for the food. Good wine selection and pretty decent service. However….never ever bring the check before asking if your guests need or want anything else. We were drinking $16 glasses of wine and would have had another round if asked but since the check was presented without the bartender asking..we left.

   it was our 10th anniversary dinner. I reserved a table about a month in advance just to make sure. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops appetizer and they came out 30 minutes later over cooked and rubbery as hell. we ordered the special 64 day aged 16oz steak. But the cooks burnt the outside and didn't cook the inside. I asked for a medium rare. They had a nice menu with the temp ranges on it. I asked for a 120-130 range steak. The cut of the day was a $165 and the burnt the outside and it was STILL COLD. I complained to the server, But it wasn't her fault. took the steak back to the kitchen then they burnt the steak even more and served us the same one to us even more burnt! I chocked the steak down trying not to ruin my anniversary dinner for my wife. But I asked the server if we could do anything about this, and she said she would talk to the manager. The Manager took $10 off the bill!!!!!!!! what the hell. terrible cooks. where is Gordon Ramsey when you need him? DONT EAT HERE!

   Had the sesame crusted ahi tuna and shrimp and it was really good except there was only one shrimp. Also had the filet and it was very good. Ordered the mushrooms and creamed corn as sides and they were both delicious. Burrata as an appetizer but it doesn't come with crackers or bread unless you paid extra. It's pricey but a good experience. Serving complimentary hot bread would have been nice.

    Really pleased with their food and the service was as prompt as can be for Thanksgiving night. When we are lucky enough to revisit Zion this will definitely be on our short list of restaurants to go to again.

    The entire experience was terrible. This was our Thanksgiving dinner. It took 45 minutes to get bread. Each course took a very long time to come out and we weren’t served together. The food wasn’t hot. Our server was trying her best but the place was just ridiculously dysfunctional.

    Went for Thanksgiving Dinner. Service was amazing. James took excellent care of us. The price was a lot ambitious for what was served. That being said, the food was absolutely excellent. Familiar Thanksgiving fare with a slight twist made for a great meal. The kids meals came out cold.

    Thanksgiving Day: we opted for the traditional turkey meal, wish we had ordered from menu. Unusual experience at Switchback - the turkey dinner was somewhat tasteless and nothing special. For the $85 per plate charge, it would have been better spent on a steak. Nicest people in the world seating and serving! We will return.

    The food was not bad but took an hour and fifteen minutes to get our food. We had to pay ten bucks to order bread which came after 20 minutes. Then the prices. Not worth it at all. The steaks had market price of 84 dollars for an 18 oz ribeye and NO sides included. Sides are separate and twelve bucks each.

    The restaurant was nice- but our table was very wobbly. The table shook every time someone moved their arms. We were right next to the wine case. Also, was my birthday and the waitress asked us if we had a special occasion and was told such, but did not bring out any complimentary dessert or anything to celebrate. With a $700 bill for our party would expect something for a special occasion.

    Greeted by friendly hostess and seated immediately. Our table of 4 Ordered bottle of wine, bacon and burrata appetizers plus focaccia bread to start. All were delicious, just a bit surprised there weren’t more tomatoes with the burrata. Mixed berry salad was generous and tomato soup was yummy… I could have stopped here, and will note this for future reference as we will be back. Two of us enjoyed the halibut (seasonal menu item) it was perfectly prepared and quite tasty! The meatloaf received rave reviews from my husband - hard to beat bacon wrapped, and presentation was the best I’ve ever seen done with meatloaf. The ribeye steak was a huge cut and the kitchen struggled to get the temp right, had to be sent back twice, then finally served well done. Especially impressive was that extra mashed potatoes on meatloaf plate were shared with the ribeye, and the plate came out each time with fresh potatoes to replace. I’m addition they gave us a discount to make up for delay. Waiter was attentive and helpful/friendly. Too full for dessert. Look forward to returning sometime

    Very underwhelming. My wife ordered Chilean Seabass and had to send it back because it was too salty to eat, unacceptable for a $48 dish. I had salmon which was adequate. The service was very indifferent. No offer to keep my plate warm while my wife’s dish was redone. Water never refilled. Wine never poured. Overall a disappointing experience and certainly not worth the price.

    Our food was delicious, the service was great and the ambiance was beautiful. The only issue we had was that it was very expensive. My husband had the halibut dinner which was $45 and I had the sea bass which was also in the $40’s. We were looking forward to a steak but $85 for a ribeye was ridiculous. That being said, our dinners were delicious

    We are frequent visitors to Switchback Grille. This year we’ve noticed that the prices have gone way up. I ordered a petite filet and it was delicious but for $42 I got 4 oz of beef and that was all. I ordered a baked potato and that was $9. I could buy a 5 pound bag of potatoes for less. I’m not sure we would go back again. It’s getting way too expensive for our budget. I do want to mention that our waiter, James was excellent. He took good care of us. I would recommend this restaurant if one doesn’t worry about price.

    For what we paid I expected more. Our server was nice but we sat without refills for long periods of times and just long waits in general. We were on the patio so maybe that could be why. We were there with another couple and all ordered the same things. At one point we sent back out potatoes because r they were still hard and under cooked, the waiter was great and got us new ones. And honestly they were still undercooked but we didn’t want to be a bother. All 4 of us ordered filet mignon- medium rare. All 4 were rare, super rare. We only could eat 2-3 bite each before we couldn’t take any more bite. We all decided we would just take it home and cook it more rather keep bothering the server. So all and all it was fine, salad was good, bread was great, but wouldn’t go back again.
