    This is what we were given, after asking, after waiting for over 35 minutes for our food.
    Dave C.

    I'm not in the habit of shredding businesses, but sometimes it's warranted. We've been to SwitcHouse for two of our last three Mother'Days, and the service and food had been pretty good. Enough that my wife asked to come here again. Our reservation for six was at 1. We were seated at about 1:12, and a server came by within a few minutes to get drink orders. The waitress told us that it was busy, so meals may be slow coming out. Ok, it's Mother's Day and the place is full - I get it. After half an hour (not exaggerating), we had to pull her aside to take our lunch order. She had actually attended to a larger table seated after us first. After half an hour, of complete inattention, we flagged her down and asked where our food was. She said our ticket was still hanging. We asked for some bread or crackers or something, and she brought us a handful of crackers. She could not say how long our meal was going to take. During this time, we noticed meals actually being returned; we heard one server say the fish was cold. By 50 minutes of waiting, we called a nearby restaurant to ask their wait and they could take us immediately. At 2:50, we got up, I told a manger we were tired of waiting and were leaving. I offered to pay for the one iced tea and OJ, but she just apologized and said, "don't worry about it." I threw a fiver on the table and left. This is just bad management, pure and simple. They knew it was Mother's Day. They knew what their reservations looked like. They did not plan accordingly for the crowd. Obviously, their kitchen was overwhelmed, their servers had really large sections. No manager was circulating to apologize for the wait and offer complimentary desserts, discounted meals, free mimosas or anything. Across the street, we saw another party who was sitting at the table next to us, had also left. We had a little chuckle about the horrid service and then enjoyed some good Mediterranean food. I definitely won't return or recommend.

    Our next family food adventure take us to Switch house inside of Houston city place Marriott with a category 4.2 and more than 385 reviews this restaurant grill Inspired by the railway tradition and nature of the region, SwitcHouse Plates & Pours offers food with a focus on iron, oak, and smoke in a casually elegant paired with upscale rustic decor. Our waiter Amy very friendly, helpful and always coming over to see how everything was, for that reason I think the customer service was incredibly first class. But the important thing here was the food coming warn and delicious, the presentation of every plate is like the food talking to us eat me and enjoy. Thanks to the chef or the staff working in the Kicthen we really enjoy eating at the Switchuose tonight.

    Filet mignon
    Marion W.

    I stayed at the Marriott for a work trip (really nice hotel btw) and we had a customer dinner at switchouse, and it was a really nice dinner. First the place is pretty, they have great decoration for the holidays, nice touches everywhere. Second the food was actually really good, I had the filet mignon and it was delish. It comes with green beans, mash potato and a mushroom. I don't care for that kind of mushroom and the sides were a little small but enough for me. The Cesar salad was super delish and a huge plate. The French 75 was meh.. and I took a star off because the prices are pretty high. $52 for the filet hurt. If it wasn't for work paying, I wouldn't spend that. Overall a great dinner, in a beautiful ambiance, and a really nice attentive waitress.

    a burger and french fries on a plate
    Jamie M.

    It's an absolute treasure when there is an eatery in your home away from home stay that serves up some good bites. Popped in here on my last night at the CityPlace Marriott and came with a hankering for a burger. Boy did they deliver. I sadly have no idea the name of my burger as it was a newer menu or maybe seasonal so I cannot locate it on their website. It was a steak burger cooked medium rare paired with fresh tomato, arugula, aioli, and a black seasame bun, with a side of sweet potato fries. Also had a taste of the Dirty fries appetizer, a definite recommend if you're looking for something to go along with a couple brews. The brisket and queso while incredibly messy make this a great pairing to throw a few back to. Service was stellar and personable. The ambience is great for a girls night out or in if your guests of the hotel.

    Salmon and Brussel Sprouts
    Korynne B.

    Late night dinner meal. Trying to cut out the carbs so this was my protein friendly dinner. Salmon had great flavor but I asked for well done so I had to send it back. The Brussels never disappoint, but a lot for one person. The service is always great and the food remains consistent.

    I was a little disappointed with switch house. The food + drinks were just ok and pretty expensive.I went on a Tuesday after work and it was completely empty. We got the dirty fries and conductors queso. Both apps were pretty good but they didn't blow me away. I preferred the dirty fries personally. I also got a mezcalita and it was pretty good & strong. The service was really good though. Shoutout to our waiter.

    Smokehouse Sample Platter
    Clay G.

    We got in to the Houston area pretty late and were looking for a place to eat near our hotel. Conveniently, SwitcHouse was inside of our hotel. As far as hotel bar/restaurants go, this is a pretty decent one. I decided to just get the smokehouse sample platter as a meal and was surprised at how much food I actually got. Unfortunately, a lot of it was pretty bland. I would've liked more flavor elements outside of the neutrals, but this is obviously not designed to be all eaten by one person. Outside of this, the service could've been better, as our waitress disappeared for extended periods when we could've used another beer.

    This is the ham and cheese croissant!
    Addy W.

    The location is a great new spot! Easy to get to in front door parking. The Gruyère & ham croissant sandwich was delicious. The best part was the flavor of the Dijon mustard. The atmosphere is nice counter service so it was pretty quick only 15 min wait for food. Couldn't decide, so I got a side of both the tomato bisque and French onion soups! Each team had a good flavor while the French onion wasn't the traditional cheesy soup. I would probably pick that one over the tomato basil next time. Service was friendly and overall this is a quick place to get in and out if you don't have a lot of time and you want a nice meal! I was impressed and I will be back.

    Bolonese Pasta
    Don R.

    Came here with some friends over the weekend who were from out of town and recommended this spot. My friend grabbed a Queso dip for an appetizer. I believe it had chopped brisket & some grilled veggies in it. It was just ok, nothing special. Additionally, they only brought a handful of chips. Definitely wasn't enough chips to accommodate the dip. I grabbed the bolognese pasta for my meal. First bite, I thought it was pretty good. As I continued eating, it just tasted average. Flavors were good but nothing spectacular. Service could've been better. Our waitress couldn't really understand us, language barrier. I asked to sample one of the beers on draft, she came back with a whole glass; fortunately it was good. On top of that, they were out of a lot of stuff they had listed on their menu. Ok place but I don't have to come back.

    Excellent Old Fashion
    James W.

    Great bar. Service can be slow. I was only here getting Old Fashions, three times for three drinks !! Cheers !! The bar and dining area were clean, and the staff was very professional. Several folks were eating but I never saw a menu so I can't tell you what they offer. Be warned, Old Fashions are $20 !!! Holy Crap !!!

    My cousin and I were searching for a brunch spot nearby. This place has a good rating. It is inside of the Marriott in a cute little shopping district with other food venues. We were seated immediately by the window. Chris was our waiter and he was great. The ambiance was nice and the service was super fast. We had mimosas with pineapple juice. I will definitely visit again when I am in town.

It's very spacious and the restaurant has such a cool vibe. I've never had anything to eat here that I didn't like. Their drink selection is vast, especially if you're into beer. They have Angry Orchard on draft (my favorite) and that's hard to find in a restaurant.

He needs to work on his talking skills to people. Anyway.... beyond that - my husband and I are from Austin but we're visiting the area because we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and decided here as the place to eat. We are both vegetarian and they have adequate veg options. I started with the watermelon lemonade and then eventually got a jasmine tea. We got the corn soup and the grilled bread and cheese plate as an appetizer (apologies I don't remember the exact name off the top of my head). For our entrees, both my husband and I got a Latin America dish. It was a pepper with cashew cream and quinoa, a chimichurrin sauce, etc. it was FANTASTIC. They don't skimp on the veg plates and I really appreciate that! Especially when a place isn't entirely only plant based focused. This place really take pride in their food and it shows. I watched a chef plate a meal (from my seat, I could see the kitchen) and he was so locked in and meticulous about it. We were checked up on constantly, our waters never ran out, and our waitress was so cool and down to earth. We tipped her well.

But everything turned out just fine on our visit. First off I love that everything on the menu is under $20. That means we can order more. I was a bit worried that out steak and eggs would be tough because I ordered it medium rare and it came out more medium well. It's even cut already so they should've been able to tell how well done it was. But it was still tender which is actually all I really cared about. The Holy Smoked Benedict is not your traditional eggs Benedict. Instead of ham they have slices of pork belly. And it's served on a crispy biscuit (I could taste the crunch) with potatoes with a poached egg on top just like a regular Benedict. My only comment would be a little too many potatoes for my particular liking, but you can just brush them off. With the money we saved we got the beignets. They come in a sack of 5 and with a Meyer lemon curd on top side for dipping that has a dollop of melted marshmallow cream on top. They aren't traditional beignets but are really small biscuits. They tasted hot and fresh, and were nice and fluffy regardless, which again is all I really cared about. Cold water comes in an old whisky bottle and is left at your table so you can pour as much as you want when you want. I really wish more restaurants did this. The place is also now on the InKind app so make sure you sign in and pay with the app if you do that kind of stuff. InKind is free and has occasional offers that make dining even more affordable.

Their happy hour ends at 6pm, but I arrived at 7pm so I ended up missing the discounted drinks. I ordered the cod and shrimp pita which ended up being slightly different than the regular gyro. I had to set it down after a couple of bites since the wheat pita bread is much thinner than regular pita bread and it kept falling apart on me. I also added a mango mojito. With a name like Island Grill, I sort of expected to see more tropical drinks or rum-based cocktails show up on the menu, but this was about the only one. Overall, my experience was okay, but I don't know if it was good enough for me to return.
