fondue feast!

i don’t think i could’ve described it any better than mercurialvapor. i came here for a birthday celebration as well, and a server brought a card as well as with other servers coming by to drop birthday wishes. it’s definitely a different and fun kind of dining experience, great for larger parties and special occasions. the dishes aren’t over the top large serving sizes, but when you go for the ‘big night out’ it adds up and you’ll leave feeling stuffed. the food was surprisingly FRESH and very tasty, and our server was nothing but professional and friendly. make sure to set aside a few hrs since it takes awhile to go through all the courses. had a fabulous time and would definitely consider returning.
reservations seem difficult to make, but when we went there were so many empty tables. not sure what to make of that.

Dishes I tried:

Premier Fondue Indeed

This place is excellent for special occasions. I came here for my girlfriend’s birthday, and they had a card for her on the table, as well as some special dessert. And everyone kept wishing her a happy birthday. It’s like the servers can almost read your mind, that’s how perfect they time their comings and goings, and the atmosphere is fun or romantic, depends on the occasion and the table you get.

The food is delicious, and the format is easy to choose if you’re a first timer (try the pre-packaged big night out), and also great if you’d like to customize your meal a bit more.

The portions aren’t ginormous, but with appetizers (dippers with cheese), tasty salads, amazing entrees, and one of the best desserts I’ve had, the Big Night Out meal was fantastic. Obviously, it’s a little on the pricey side, but it’s definitely worth a shot if you’ve never had it and want to celebrate something special.

The best part is, it’s FUN. An interactive meal where you get to dip/ cook your food, but it still tastes really good no matter what you do. Two thumbs up! =P

Also, a caveat: make your reservations EARLY if you plan on eating here on the weekends (as in three weeks or more in advance), just to be safe.

The appetizers came with aple slices, bread pieces, and veggies to dip in a delicious warm cheese fondue, followed by some great salads. The Mediterranean special was new and exciting, and even the Caesar salad was very tasty. The entree comes (depending on the price you select) with lobster tails, filet mignon steaks, fish, ravioli, chicken, and a number of other bite sized goodies. And the stuff that you cook it in is customaizable, as well. The dessert, with fresh, very sweet strawberries, bananas, rice krispy treats, adn marshmallows, was top class. And I am not a big fan of dessert, usually.
