My fiance and I stopped in for dinner last night, we didn't make reservations although have heard that we probably should on weekends. I figured Tuesday night wouldn't be so hectic & it wasn't so we had no problems being seated. The place was quiet, lighting was dim, setting was intimate. I usually make fondue at home but was curious to see how a real fondue place prepares the food. The first thing I noticed after getting the menu was the price, dinner for 2 will easily put you over $100 bucks! We selected a course from the ""Big Night Out"" menu which was $90/couple. That came w/veggies, shrimp, lobster tail, filet mignon, chicken potstickers and a couple other items. We also went w/a fiesta cheese fondue. The cheese fondue came out almost immediately. It tasted like velveeta cheese and salsa- nothing special. After we finished the cheese, we waited a super long time for our main course. I was getting annoyed with our server because she kept trying to get us to order more drinks (I'm sure it was to keep us occupied while wating). When it finally came out I was extremely disappointed with how small the portions were! (AND I don't even eat a lot!!!)? my poor fiance? he totally was bummed. Our server quickly went over how long each item should be cooked & warned us to not eat off our fondue sticks since they would be scortching hot! (she was right about that!) Anyway, we skipped dessert, total bill was $184. and some change. To sum it up, I think you'll be better off melting velveeta cheese, chicken broth and hershey's choclate in your fondue set at home for more than 1/2 the price! This place is ridiculously overpriced!
