OMG! Wish we had have been here earlier as we are only around the corner.

The food was so fresh and delicious, although took a little while to get our meals and it wasn't all that busy. The baklava was seriously the BEST I've ever tasted. Serious wanted to ask for a tray to take home.

We definitely should have ordered the banquet instead of a main meal each, but it just gives us a good reason to go back again.

The staff were really lovely and helpful, and were more than happy to accommodate us with a pram.

The feel of the venue gave a nice feel, just a bit of a pity about the location!

Will definitely be going back and can't wait to taste more of their menu!

Approximate cost: $27

I'd seen this place a few times online when searching restaurants in the area and now I wish we didn't wait so long to come here!

The menu is not overly large, but there is more than enough variety. My husband had the steak and I had the chicken, both were delicious and fresh, and if anything, probably underpriced!! I definitely would have paid closer to $30 for the chicken. The flourless chocolate cake was to die for! We're glad our waitress also recommendes having ice cream with it. The wine list also has great variety without being too over the top.
The staff were super friendly and all too willing to accommodate our pram.
We found the atmosphere to be warm and inviting, whilst maintaining class.
This place is definitely a little gem and we can't wait to go back!

Approximate cost: $30

Have heard mixed reviews and now can understand why.
We went on lunch and had a pleasant meal. The service was friendly and personable.
We then we back on Thursday night and some of the meals were good (stir fry and the special lamb cutlets) but the open lamb souvlaki was very average. Presentation was not restaurant quality, which is what this place advertises itself as.
The waitress we had seemed a bit 'fake' constantly at our table asking if everything was ok. I understand this is her job but it got a bit over the top and was not genuine.
Seems to be a bit hit or miss here. Would not hurry back.

Approximate cost: $25

The banana pancakes are to die for! Service was a bit on the slow side, however it was fairly busy. We sat inside but inside seemed a bit overcrowded - it was difficult to try and get through to get to the bathroom without running into wait staff or the backs of other people's chairs. Would go again for the pancakes but not in a huge hurry.

Always great service, gets quite busy on a weekend but the staff have always donentheir best to fit us in when they can. The food is great, slightly pricey but worth it as it's always fresh. Definitely our favorite place for breakfast in Berwick.

Fantastic service, they are very attentive and there wasn't a moment that there was an empty water glass on the table. Very prompt and efficient.
The food was good value for money. The risotto was not the greatest but the salads and pizza were good. A huge selection of cakes as well as their regular dessert menu.

Have been here a few times, the service is generally friendly and prompt and the staffnwere happy to find us a table despite not having a booking and it seemed they were getting pretty busy. However on the last occasion we booked and it was at all busy and we waited over an hour for our meals which wasn't cooked properly. We had a corner table facing the wall, and while I can understand that every dollar counts and if you can fit 2 more covers in then why wouldn't you, the view of the wall didn't contribute to an overly exciting dining experience.

Not sure why we give this place so many chances. The food is alright but nothing to rave about. Was once served a half cooked pizza. Slightly over priced and can hardly ever get service once you're seated and have ordered meals. On many occasions we have waited long periods for food to come out (when it wasn't very busy) or for more service. It's now become a bit of a personal joke to go to Switch and see how long it takes us to get served. Would go here as a last resort or if I was desperate for a sit down meal while shopping, as the food isn't terrible.

This is the only place my husband will eat nasi goreng from! The food is always fresh and service is great. We always order take away and the food is always ready within the time frame given.

Surprised at how busy this place gets given its location! Would definitely recommend booking in advance. The food is good and staff are friendly, however at times could be more attentive and check whether the table needs more drinks or wants to order coffee etc. On both occasions we have had to get the attention of the wait staff to order more.
