    We 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!!! ❤️😊👏

    Save 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

    First 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.

    Awesome place. Thursday date night = $65 three course meal with wine/beer pairings for two people. Brett is great waiter! Highly recommend!

    Great service! Great experience! Make sure you make reservations and prepare to be there for about two hours start to finish.

    For dessert, go with the small. After trying our best to eat the large, we have three to go boxes... Excellent as always, though!

    Great 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.

    This place is seriously way better than the melting pot in all aspects. Food, ambiance, staff, etc. and their glasses of wine are HUGE. 👌

    Good 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.

    Nice ambiance. The dessert fondue is pretty good. A bit overpriced for what it is. A good experience though

    I'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.

    The menu is a little (OK: a lot) confusing, but the staff is friendly and the food is terrific. Well worth a visit.

    It'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.
