The good thing about this place is that it has a nice ambiance—great place to take a date, or to hang out with friends since you get to pre-occupy yourself by dipping into yummy fondue. There is cozy seating and the place itself is decorated trendy etc. The food is pretty good-I had the cheese fondue (southwestern style; slightly spicy), an asian salad with mandarin oranges and a sweet dressing, the oil pot (you get batter to dip your items in) with surf and turf, and to finish off-a darker chocolate fondue. The setbacks to this place is that it is pretty expensive for very small pieces of meat and shrimp. The salad was pretty small and not very impressive. The wait time for everything was also very long. My suggestion for this place is that you should come if you have money to burn and are looking for something to do for the night. Either way, I still had a great time there.

If you’ve never done fondue before, you’re in for a fun time. The tables have electric stoves built into them in which they bring you pots of different oils/liquids to cook your food in. They then supply you with tons of meats, seafood, and vegetables to cook and have fun. Sadly the price is quite expensive for food you’re essentially cooking yourself. Worth a trip, but not my fave.
