Laura MarieMay 1, 2014We enjoyed this a little more than the melting pot! A little more affordable and We liked the "local fare" offers that support local businesses. Plenty of food! They do have take out boxes!!! ❤️😊👏
The News & ObserverJanuary 25, 2014Save yourself the trouble of mixing and matching by opting for one of the pre-selected entree combinations – all of which include a cheese fondue for the table, a salad, and three dipping sauces. Read more
Joe ScarboroughAugust 19, 2013First time at a "fondue" spot and I'm so glad I made it here. The servers were on point, the food was great and the experience was delightful.
Megan CarrollMarch 7, 2014Awesome place. Thursday date night = $65 three course meal with wine/beer pairings for two people. Brett is great waiter! Highly recommend!
Andrew IvesterJuly 16, 2015Great service! Great experience! Make sure you make reservations and prepare to be there for about two hours start to finish.
Esther ClarkFebruary 12, 2014For dessert, go with the small. After trying our best to eat the large, we have three to go boxes... Excellent as always, though!
Michael ProctonSeptember 13, 2016Great ambiance (really enjoyed the music.) Typical fondue experience, but the local combinations were a nice touch. Service was friendly, though strange our waiter didn't really know the menu.
Jordan WhaleyJuly 19, 2014This place is seriously way better than the melting pot in all aspects. Food, ambiance, staff, etc. and their glasses of wine are HUGE. 👌
Kyle HardenNovember 4, 2014Good experience, but for the price it was not good. Cheese was good, the entrée with the meats to cook were awful...I wish you could skip that part. and the chocolate was good! I wont be back.
Leslie CothrenOctober 22, 2013What a perfect spot! The fondue is amazing! Have the sundried tomato cheese fondue!
Soooo good! A lot better than The Melting Pot and a better atmosphere. The dessert is 5 stars
Happiness RugumamuSeptember 20, 2017Nice ambiance. The dessert fondue is pretty good. A bit overpriced for what it is. A good experience though
Paul McRaeAugust 25, 2013I'm in agreement with other reviewers. Very similar experience to The Melting Pot with a slightly more difficult to follow menu. A good meal overall.
Matthew BarnardJuly 28, 2013The menu is a little (OK: a lot) confusing, but the staff is friendly and the food is terrific. Well worth a visit.
Aaron RalesApril 28, 2013It's sort of like a mediocre version of the Melting Pot. The menu is pretty confusing and it took 15 minutes for 5 people to order everything with all of the options. Wait staff unprofessional.

"They carry delicious donuts-cinnamon sugar and chocolate were both surprisingly moist. Coffee is always great. Love the butter flavored. Get a bag to go!"
Katie Turner - 9.0
"It's small so it gets loud and crowded easily. Otherwise, great service and amazing menu. The patatas bravas are my favorite, and theirs are the best I've had"
Nick Powers - 8.9
"Burgundy cherry with chocolate chips is the best."
