As a group you have to agree on each courses cheese, cooking broth and chocolate flavor. You great to pick your own main course meats, salad, and a good assortment of dessert items offered.

Come here for the desert only if your having a sweet tooth moment. The cheesecake is not the best but it comes with raspberries which are perfect with turtle chocolate fondue.

Everything here is amazing and its a great experience for those who have never been, but we just go here for dessert! The chocolate fondue is by far the best course :)

Staff, food, wine all great. Fun for a group. Spendy if you're drinking...plan on about $100 per person. The tuna was a bit fishy, otherwise every round was great.

A little pricey, but totally worth it for something different. A unique experience I'd suggest if you're looking to have a little fun. Original dessert fondue is the best.

Great food and super friendly staff! A lil pricey but definitely worth it for the experience!

come on tues, they have an awesome 3-course special for $30-a great deal for the amazing meal you get!! fondue dinners are much more lengthy and relaxed - great for catching up on girl talk:)

ALWAYS get the Big Night Out option. You won't regret it! Plan to spend $$$ and plan at least 2 hours there. So delicious!!

Make sure James is your waiter. Amazing service. He's good for a few chuckles too

This place is definitely overpriced in my opinion. The first course of the prosciutto asparagus cheese was completely overpowered by the wine they used to melt it. Overall it was just ok.

Fantastic dinner date. Request the table with the curtain and Mark for a server what an experience. Thanks Mark!

The table by the window is fab! Also order the French quarter. Delicious!

The turtle chocolate fondue.

Tip based on pre-discount on receipt, not the total on the little card they give you. They inflate that price...

CHECK-IN SPECIAL IS A TRICK! 7 of us tried to order the special we were told by our host and server that they 'didn't know what that meant.' -I CALL B.S. Read more

Ask for Josh he was awesome as a server and made great recommendations

The Caesar dressing is not a traditional one. A bit nutty a tiny bit sweet. I quite liked it but my daughter did not.
Ana CruzOctober 10, 2009
Order the dark chocolate fondue for dessert... it's amazing & comes with a ton of great dippables.

Look for LivingSocial deals to cut the cost I'm half
Doug VaughanAugust 13, 2011
Unlocked the special, server told us we had to print something to get the special. Manager said we had to purchase an entire. Clearly these jack wagons just don't want to give up the free fondue.

The experience

Do not bring stingy friends. Park far away to be ready to indulge and try 2 cheeses.
Jeff JensenDecember 12, 2011
It is a fun time, but way over priced for the food quality.
Dan HennenJanuary 10, 2010
spendy, but worth it....plan on a couple of hours...
Ryan JohnsonMay 16, 2012
$$$$$, but good!

The Wisconsin and Swiss cheese fondues were crowd-pleasers.
