"To be fair, our server was new but odd atmosphere. He didn't really know what he was doing, but didn't seem to be trained well. Weird music playing given the ambiance/decor, meat for entrees literally tastes boiled, (because it is) and the salad was pretty sad looking. Cheese fondue was great. I ordered a wine flight that was supposed to be served with each course, but it wasn't but the wine selection was pretty good. Most of the good wines are sold by the bottle only. There are a lot of little add on costs that make this place expensive even with the Groupon that we had. Took forever to eat, burned my tongue but that probably is my fault anyway. Sauces tasted like the they were from a bottle, and they gave us prepackaged spices for stuff. Supposedly it tastes good, but for the price point of the restaurant I found it inappropriate. They also had an obnoxious note on their Groupon that their wonderful' customers tip generously and on the entire nondiscounted meal. We did, but this set the bar high for service- and it was not excellent service (despite our servers efforts). It made me not want to tip well at all. Overall, you're better off spending the money for dinner at a steak house or really anywhere else. I'm saying that for the price that we paid with a Groupon which was 43 for two. Id come back just for fondue, but skip the rest. Outrageously expensive for what you're getting."

"We started with a delicious cheese fondue accompanied by bread, fruit, and vegetables, which was fantastic. The salad course followed, and I must say, it was impressive—mine had strawberries, and it was delightful. However, the main course didn’t quite meet my expectations. The portions were quite small, and since I'm pregnant, cooking my own meat and noodles was tedious. I was particularly concerned that the pork never seemed to cook fully, even when I left it in for longer than recommended. I was also disappointed by the limited drink options—only four choices without any alcohol, each costing nearly $6. On a positive note, dessert was the highlight of the meal. We enjoyed an assortment of fruits, small dessert breads, and rice crispies for dipping in our choice of chocolate, which was definitely my favorite part. I believe that given the price for four people, they should have provided more cheese for the first course and more chocolate for dessert. Overall, I don’t think it was worth the $380 tab. Additionally, there was an 18% gratuity automatically included in the check, which I didn’t realize until the end. As someone who believes in tipping well, it felt strange not to leave an additional tip. Parking was another hassle—it's quite challenging to fit anything larger than a Prius in those spots. I had to maneuver my Dodge Journey through a series of tricky pivots to get out. On a positive note, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly. However, the menu was somewhat confusing when it came to pricing, which added to our uncertainty. While the food was decent, I personally believe it didn’t justify the high price."
