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 cake, brownies and cheesecake.

NOT a good place to eat!
by emilyHahn at Citysearch
I HATED my experience here. I arrived and had to wait an hour despite reservations. My waiter kept whispering to me which is hard to hear and just plain creepy. The food was alright and definitely a different experience, but unfortunately someone spilled my fondu all over my lap as he walked by. The manager did not offer to pay for it and it ended up being a terrible night.
- Pros: their toothpicks are nice
- Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE - read review

Absolutely fantastic!!
by ilovefun at Citysearch
I just visited this restaurant for the first time. I had heard so much about it that we decided to go there for the Valentine's Day special. The drinks were superb, the employees friendly and fun. The food was absolutely incredible. When I went to the bar area to ask where the restroom was, a man who worked there didn't just point me in the right direction, he had me take his arm and personally showed me where it was. I have never had that type of personal service before. Raphael, our server, was fun, very conscientious and thorough explaining how to cook our food, what the sauces were, and knowledgeable about the ingredients and made helpful suggestions to help us pick our perfect menu.... Unfortunately for me, I got very quickly very ill sitting at the table half way through our meal (or more accurately "experience"). IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM OR THE FOOD. What amazed me was that the staff there was extremely considerate of me once my boyfriend asked the manager for a cold cloth for me. She immediately brought it over along with a bag of ice and a cup of water. We had to leave before the desert which was bitterly disappointing, however what will stay in my mind is how Raphael helped my boyfriend walk me all the way outside to the car to make sure I got there OK as I was light headed and dizzy. To say they went "above and beyond" hardly seems to cover it. They were so kind to me and my feelings of stupidity getting sick. They truly made the experience an enjoyable one (all things considered). I will go back and would recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants a special night out and experience. While it is an expensive evening, it was well worth it!! Thanks to everyone there.
- Pros: Great food, service, drinks, ambience
- Cons: Can't think of one!

Not Kid friendly
by mommywood at Citysearch
This place is nice very fun and something different and exciting to do but as far as being listed as kid friendly I say not at all they only have 2 highchairs for the entire establishment and while the kids loved the idea of cooking their own food and dipping it in the various cheeses chocolates and sauces its impossible to do when they have no place to sit or no place for there baby sister to sit in our case so I would suggest they remove kid friendly from there search critera how kid friendly can you be when you offer no place for kids to sit?
- Pros: Great Date spot
- Cons: not kid friendly
