Great food – The waitresses were very friendly. They made sure that we understood how to order since it was our first time there. The food was outstanding, especially their spinach or artichoke dip for appetizer. The chocolate fondue is to die for. I would definitely go back again.

good times – before going to this restaurant, i read a review that warned diners to only go with people they enjoyed spending time with. after a 3 hour dining experience, i am glad that i took that advice. service was friendly and satisfactory. they clearly explained everything that went into fondue, and came quickly when we had problems or questions. food takes a long time to cook though, leaving a lot of lull time that is best filled with conversation. i wouldn't recommend this place for a first date, but if you're going w... read more

Great Time, Every Time! – After reading some of the reviews on this place I can tell its definitely not for everyone, but I have been here multiple times and have ALWAYS received GREAT service and food. A little pricey, but you have to remember you are paying for the experience, don't forget to bring some extra $$ for your server, because they work their butts off!! I would recommend this restaurant for couples because of its romantic atmosphere.

It's hip to dip at this cozy fondue-lover's paradise. – In Short Booths equipped with tabletop fondue pots are clustered together inside the intimate dining room. Start with a cheese fondue, including an assortment of breads, veggies and fruits for dipping. Entrees include lobster, center-cut filet, fish, chicken and vegetarian selections served with a variety of dipping sauces. For dessert, try the flaming turtle, a mix of chocolate and caramel flambéed tableside, served with nut-covered marshmallows, fresh fruit, pound cak... read more

Lots of Fun – I think this is a great novelty restaurant. The first time you go there is a lot of explaination; but if you ever go again- it makes a lot more sense. The staff is always looking to please and offers you lots of extras if you ask for them. That goes for the dippers during the cheese and dessert!! wahoo. I think anyone who goes there should of course know what type of restaurant it is. You do cook the dinner yourself, and use the sauces yourself. If that is not your style- don't go there. I can understand if you... read more

Poor quality food, poor presentation, but good service – It's not the raw food per se...its the overly perky Applebee's type wait staff, the poor presentation, the plastic jar of Garlic/Wine powder placed at your table, the dipping sauces, and the quality of the food that is the problem. The place looks nice so thats a bonus, it smelled bad thats not so good. Lets start with the first course. The fondue is mixed by your perky waitress at the table, she was no chef! She stirred and stirred with her little fork (I felt bad). T... read more

NOT recommended – Hey MizMelissa, First of all, when you are writing a review...LEARN HOW TO SPELL!!!.. I agree with DestinyChild...That place is horrible and over priced The Definition of FONDUE is quote: "food dipped into a container: a dish eaten by dipping small pieces of food into the contents of a container usually melted cheese, hot oil, or a sauce, placed on the table" .....It doesn't say it has to be RAW food that needs to be cooked..And as for culture or knowledge of foods.. Different strokes for different folks.. ... read more

Destinyschild..... not worth listening too – destinychild...wow you sound like the biggest idiot on the planet. It is a FONDU restaurant. Did you really think your food was going to come out cooked. The point of fondu is that you cook it yourself! The meltingpot is awsome. Its fun and they have an amazing wine list. I feel sorry for this location for getting a bad rep all because of the stupidity of someone who obviously has no culture or knowlage of food. ok, why dont you go to maggiannos for some non authentic crappy food.... read more
