Switch Lifestyle

The staff were friendly and accomodating.
But my experience at switch constituted of over priced food, which was bland and the choices very limited.

I'm excited for the two new restaurants they built instead!

Switch is located in the Ozone restaurant part of Knox City. Tucked away a little on the side my friend and I decided to go here for lunch since she had been to the restaurant previously but it was my first time. There is both indoor and al fresco dining on a patio out front, we chose indoor. When you walk in you notice that the restaurant is very large and has a good, modern colour scheme and decor. We were met quickly and taken to our seats.

The Menu had a good variety I thought from steaks to salads, noodles, pasta, burgers and seafood and it didn't take me too long to pick a burger, I believe it was the American burger or something similar. The price's are reasonable in my opinion for lunch. We had a nice coffee as we waited and the food arrived quickly, hot and it was presented so nicely I took a few snaps on my phone before I ruined it. For the actual food I would deffinently give 10 out of 10, it was absolutely delicious and there was more then enough food as well so you got your money's worth. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant, it was lively but not loud and filled to the brim like some of the other places in Ozone. The staff stopped by to check on us regularilly to see if everything was fine and over all it was a quite enjoyable experience.

Approximate cost: $25

I love Switch ! They have a good range of food, and a good range of vegetarian options. Food is lovely and you don't generally have to wait very long. Staff are efficient and friendly!

Approximate cost: $20

I often go to Knox Ozone for coffee or a meal. There are some great places there but this one's mediocre. It can be a great experience with delicious food and good service but in the past year or so they've been terribly inconsistent. One visit had us waiting a very long time for a breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast only to find that their toaster wasn't working! Our bacon and eggs went cold while they worked out how they were going to toast the bread without the toaster and they still served it!

Great meeting place, food and coffee are really good and reasonably priced. Service by wait staff is below par, they are not expecially friendly and we felt like an inconvenience.
I would go back because the food was good, but with the expectation that the service is poor!

Approximate cost: $20

Good basic standard fare - nothing overly impressive, but nothing too drastically bad either. Good place for a big crowd if you need a wide variety of options but service can be disappointing

Food & coffee very good. Service is a bit slow, even when not busy, but food, coffee always nice. Coffee & cake $12., focaccia with fries $22.Clean, pleasant atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $22.

I have always enjoyed the meals and found them one of the best at ozone, but went there for dinner on tuesday and the meal itself was slow to come, when arrived tasted ok, but the dessert. What a shame! I had a lovely orange cake last time but this time the desserts look like something out of a smorgys buffet! Whats happened Switch your desserts are letting you down..

My girlfriends and I used to dine there frequently but refuse to. The standard of service is completely dropped, the constantly change the menu removing the food that was actually nice. The glasses and cutlery are always dirty. The service from the waiters can be good usually this is only the case when we get male waiters as I have noticed if we have a female one it's never a pleasant experience.

We picked a bad night to attend this restaurant. It was a public holiday so we were hit with a $2 surcharge. The air conditioner was broken and it was an exceedingly hot (39 degrees C) day. Even outside we were sticking to our plastic chairs.
The service was very prompt and our hosts were polite. The food was good, only one person on our table was disappointed but it was due to poor choice, not a bad meal.
Our biggest disappointment was that due to a combination of heat, public holiday and how quiet the restaurant was, a decision was made to shut the restaurant early. While we were fine to stay until we finished our mains we couldn't stay for coffee or dessert. The duty manager was very apologetic and we were compensated with a free round of drinks. Unfortunately the broken air conditioner, $2 per person surcharge and the restaurant closing early really did take away from our otherwise positive experience.

Approximate cost: $15 - $30

I used to dine here a lot when it first opened, but the service went down the drain. The waitresses are rude and only serve the 'good looking people'. The food got more expensive, for less quality. I try and avoid going here now.

the food it nice have been 3 times but the service is extra slow and when i complained that we were going to stay for sweets but the service is so slow they didn't seem to care. If the food didn't taste nice i wouldn't bother i only go there when im not in a hurry

I suppose it is just what is listed on the menu that really bored me. However, great outdoor setting and a great place to mingle. I think this restaurant is more sorted to the youngish crowd.

Switch seems to be one of those places which is central and a great place to catch up with people. Management leave a lot to be desired and seem a little young and in experienced ( except one young lady named Kara ). Food is always of a very high standard and i have dined here well over 20 times and rarely see any food sent back or any complaints made. Cocktail list is up there with one of the best i've seen in Melbourne. great place to sit and have a drink in the summer with the bi-fold doors opening up to invite the sights and sounds of KNOX OZone in. Quality Venue overall

Approximate cost: $25.00

Each visit to Switch has been a pleasure. Service and quality has always been great. I've never liked cafe pricing - they have typical cafe charge so they don't stand out above the rest in value..

I dine here often. The food is pretty good - I've never had any complaints. The service isn't the best. It has a good atmosphere but can be a bit noisy. Its in a good location in knox ozone.

Approximate cost: $25

Cosy atmosphere, good for a easy meal out. The food looks very appealing and usually tastes the same. The portions are very generous, and there is a large range of cakes for dessert.

Approximate cost: $20

Great place to go if in a group which has varied eating tastes as the menu has a large range of options

Servings are large too

Music can be loud so is not the place for a romantic dinner for two

Good lunch time options too

Approximate cost: $20

Went for lunch on a Sunday with 6 adults and 2 children. There is a varied menu to choose from but overall the food was average. They seemed to do basic things like chips, nachos well, but anything more than and the food was really bland. If it is your thing - the servings were HUGE, too much for a reasonable person to eat.
The venue was not that loud but then there were not many people there. Service varied, the guys were attentive, the girls seemed more interested in talking to the other workers. The tables were squeezed in pretty close to one another.

Approximate cost: $20

Went on a Friday night, great atmosphere maybe music slightly too loud, busy but staff very attentive, ample quantities of great tasting food, recommend the smoothies. Love this place for lunch but great for evening with great varied menu.

I went here for a birthday dinner, and have to admit have only ever been back for drinks after that. First impressions last with me, and I had the risotto and it was the most bland dish I have ever had. It honestly tasted like a bowl of claggy rice, with nothing else in it. Prices are OK. Great atmosphere, some times a little loud, great place for drinks with mates....

Very nice food, bit pricey but still very nice. Music can be unbearably loud at some times; usually night. Not the place to go if you want to have a nice chat with friends.

Switch is a great restaurant. It's menu covers a wide range of tastes. I have been there a few times and have enjoyed my meal every time. This restaurant really caters for the family, which I really like. It has baby change facilities and high chairs if needed. It's also a fairly noisy restaurant, which is good if you have vocal kids!

Love visiting switch, easy menu to read, with a good variety, everyone should be happy with what's available. Trendy, modern dining, with a good vibe. Large tables can cater for group functions. The chocolate pudding with melted chocolate and strawberries is the ultimate dessert.
The venue is quite loud inside, so on balmy nights, the pick of the place is out on the decking.
