Mixed Feelings 5/9/2011

This place is a great place for a romantic date, the desserts are AMAZING! But that's where the greatness ends. Advice: Do Not order dinner! Wayyyy over price for raw food that you have to cook YOURSELF. Dipping fruit and cake in chocolate is as far as I want to go. For a meal you have to boil your owe meat, potatoes, and veggies. Not my idea of a high end meal but it is still a high end price! more

RATS 10/17/2009

This place has a serious RAT infestation, even worse the imcompetent administrators would rather ignore the problem and hide it than to try to fix it. Health inspectors where are you? more

The food is really good. 9/17/2009

The food is really good and the dipping sauces are a nice accent to the main meal. You do leave the restaurant smelling of fondue because of the fondue ""sauna"" but we like coming here so it doesn't bother us too much. The only reason I'm not giving this place 4 or 5 stars is because we brought our friends here for a birthday dinner party and experienced the worst service which left us at a loss because when we come here we usually get good service. It might have been that night because it was very busy or it might have just been that particular server, but we started eating at 5:30pm and didn't leave until around 9pm because we were waiting and waiting and waiting in between each course of the meal for our food for a long time. It left our friends with a bad impression because we had told them what a great place this was and this was their first time. more

Dessert Yes....Dinner No 12/26/2007

Well, let me first say, I would really recommend this place for dessert, my hubby and two kids love to go and just get dessert. As for dinner, thats another story, It's very pricey, and I don't think worth the price. You can pick ""oil"" or ""broth"" to cook your meats, and we chose the oil...... when it came, it looked cloudy and dirty, we called our server and told him, and he informed us that they ""recycle"" the oil.....yes I said recycle !!! EWWWWW, we were like ""is that really sanitary"" and he said very matter of fact ""well, you can request ""fresh"" oil, if you'd like""..... GEE, YA THINK !!!!! Duh, of course we want fresh oil !!!!!! So after waiting awhile for our oil, then we had to cook everything....UGH, of course they tell you to expect to be there a couple hours.......it takes forever to cook the food ! So, listen if I'm paying that much for dinner, I'll go somewhere where they cook the food for me. Pros: great, fun dessert Cons: expensive dinner and really not worth it more
