    It can be pricey based off of what you eat, but the specials from Sunday through Thursday is a really good deal three course meal plus a bottle of wine for $69 per person is a perfect deal. Our waiter was very polite and understanding and very p patient.

    I watch YouTube about this place so I knew what to expect. And it was pretty amazing. If you’d never done it before it’s great for special occasions. The food was really delicious but the downside is you have to cook it yourself. And if you don’t pay attention, you can wind up burning everything or over cooking everything. Of course, the best part was the chocolate fondue. Just awesome. What really made it for me was the kindness and consideration of the staff and how attentive and wonderful they were. Especially down in San Diego. I don’t know about other places, I’ve never been there before, but they were awesome! And the food was edible because I cooked it and because I paid attention. But my aunt and uncle were not so lucky and had overcooked steak. But that’s their fault. Not the restaurants. Thanks for listening.
