We came here last week with my husband and son on Friday straight from work for dinner. I was already told by a friend that the parking is difficult but I didn't really mind. We got to the place and it looked like an old warehouse on the outside and nothing fancy but it is actually pretty cool inside. I think that was part of what makes the place interesting. We made phone reservation for 6:30pm but when we got there no one was at the counter and not even a sign saying "be back in 20 minutes" or something. We waited outside for some 20-25 minutes before we got accommodated. We were a bit hungry but we chose not too find another restaurant to eat as I wanted to try this fondue place. We finally got accommodated and our order taken. We got PARMESAN CHEESE in wine, Gruyère cheese and mushroom. Also ordered MEATBALLS in homemade tomato sauce, butter and blend of spices. I thought they were small servings because of the size of the pot so we also added a side of garlic bread with dip. All there fondues by the way are served with salad, potato and bread. I think the food was great and very filling and it was served quick too. We didn't have to wait too long to start eating and we were very satisfied with it. We had to take everything home because there was still so much left. The food we think was great, the ambiance and its setup is clever and casual. The wait time however was the only hiccup. Overall, everything was OK and we'll still come back with friends and more family next time.

Don't waste your money, eat someplace else. I went here for a birthday dinner party of 16. They must get parties a lot because there is an option to get an all-you-can-eat with or without unlimited wine. The whole table has to pick the same all-you-can-eat option, so we chose option #2 for 37 a head. I hope you read this before you go because the servers are almost non-existent, they can only handle one request at a time (i.e., if 1 person asked for a drink then they go get that and then asked for the next persons drink order) so they won't be around to answer any questions. It included salad, 5 fondues, veggies, bread, potatoes, 1 chocolate fondue and 3 types of wine. We chose the Goodies, Fiesta, Garlic cheese fondue and the beef and chicken fondue. We wanted the Blue Cheese but they were out. The meat fondues were cooked meats in sauces that were just kept warm over the sterno candles. You are NOT given hot oil and raw meats to cook yourself. The meats were tender, but just weird that they were already cooked and in sauces of only 1 flavor option. The Garlic fondue was very strong. The Fiesta was bland. The Goodies had the most flavor. The veggies were cut in large chunks and were raw. The potatoes were cooked in a seasoning of some sort which was disgusting. The chocolate was ok, but they never came to replenish the dippers and only brought 3 chocolate pots for 16 people. That is not all-you-can-eat. I forgot to mention the salad, it was despicable. All of the wine was clearly from a box, and I would guess an old box at that. Did I mention we were sitting in an outdoor courtyard at night in January? I asked them to bring another outdoor heater, but they said they were broken. I cannot find a reason to ever come back here.
From my childhood I remember fondue tasting very sharp, define do was not like that, it was very mild. I don't know if there is anything official about fondue, but I was looking forward to that strong sharp taste, which was missing.
Love this place. Trying to go as many times as possible before it has to close for demolition. We always order the garlic and the meatballs. When we are hungry, it is enough for two.
This was our first time going here! It was a slow night, Wednesday and I have to say, I loved the environment and the service was awesome. Portions are HUGE so don't think you need to order a lot. Located in. A cute little indoor plaza. It's a unique experience.
Loved it! Great food. Friendly service. Best fondue around!
The atmosphere is absolutely perfect in all aspects here... Great for first dates, group dinners, or simply a good place to grab a bite. I would highly recomend giving this place a chance if you havent already
Been coming here for years, wonderful setting with great food and friendly service. Could not recommend more highly for a night out
