Romantic, Entertaining, and Overpriced
This is one of the more romantic restaurants I've been in. Dim lighting, lots of secluded corners and booths. The pace for dinner is very relaxed; they expect you to take 2 and a half hours for dinner.

Food was good, with very fine ingredients. Preparation is of course largely left up to you. The waiter will get the fondue pots started, then you get to choose how and what to fondue. Just try not to think about the fact that you're paying $50-100 per person to cook your own food.

The wine list is OK, with several good, moderately priced $25-40 wines.

There is at least one table situated directly under the air conditioning vent. If you get seated here, beg to be moved. You'll be fine at first, but after 2.5 hours you'll be suffering from hypothermia.

Also, after 2.5 hours of sitting in front of a bubbling pot of oil, you'll leave smelling like a bubbling pot of oil.

All in all, it was fun, but the cost rules out any repeat visits from this critic.    [10 Aug 2000 14:39:40]

I really like this place & managed to get in without a reservation with a 20 minute wait. I was completely amazed at the service & loved the food! It is very expensive, but great for a treat-yourself-splurge once in a while!    [12 Jan 2004 12:46:38]

Doesn't have to be over-priced
Everything's been said about the great atmosphere and food. I just want to add one thing. It is not too expensive if you leave out the meat course. Their great salad, cheese fondue, and dessert are VERY filling!    [24 Mar 2006 01:04:39]
