Restaurant was dirty & needs some updates. This was our first experience at this melting pot. We’ve been to others that are much nicer. Food was less than average & our server was not professional (talked about his personal life in an attempt to “connect” with us)🙄

They were out of everything we wanted. Bread I n particular which why we went thereto have the cheese fondue with bread. They also did not have vegetables and the salad dressing was awful. How ridiculous to not have bread when it is located next to two grocery stores. The service was not acceptable. It was my birthday and I regret going there snd will never go back

There were very few tables when we got there - we had our reservation but the table was not set up - host needs better training - we waited quite a while just to get to our table - server was wonderful - filet was very tough -all other proteins were very good! The veggies were old and there was only 4 small potato halves and two stalks of broccoli - I preferred the darker environment with more privacy at your table

It was a terrible experience. We were sitting for a very long time before anyone came to greet us. I ordered a gin and tonic and took at least 25-30 minutes to arrive. Food was very slow. When the first course finally came out, we didn’t have napkins or utensils. Restaurant was dirty, floors etc. The food was ok, but honestly would not come back.

Our sever was amazing!! The food was good but overpriced in my opinion. Our table was small and the seats were not in good condition. The bathroom was a mess. Overall, the restaurant was not in great condition. However, between the service of everyone and the experience, we'll definitely go back!!

I went the weekend after valentines day to celebrate. this is my second time coming here and definitely wont be my last however i will say it wasn’t as good as the time before. maybe because i went at a slower time / weekday at first or because i just didnt have the best server. the food was mediocre, fondues themself are 1000/10. they were out of bread! but she did accommodate and give us chips… i just think the overall quality wasn’t my favorite but not worth never going again. always a great experience & i had so much fun!

We’ll go back in the future for the cheese and chocolate fondues (yum!!), but cooking our own meat was not very fun, worrying if we’ve cooked it enough and therefore overcooking it. Great service!

Went for my sons 13th birthday and was really disappointed. We were forced to do the Valentines menu 3 days before Valentine’s Day, we thought the cheese with the pears to have a very strong wine flavor that probably wasn’t the best offering for 3 kids and we all thought the other cheese was just ok. The Mojo broth or whatever it was called was a bit bland in flavor and trying to grill everyone’s food was a bit of a chaotic task. Our server was great and the dessert portion was decent. For $309 including tip, I would have much rather taken him to a fancy steak house and had someone else cook my meal. I definitely won’t be back.
