“made dinner reservation for a nice quiet romantic night with my husband New years eve.”
“When we tried to order just dessert, which was $30 for three people and there were 8 of us, the manage came over and told us they didn't do that.”
“The wine recommendations were great and the food was good as well.”
“The service was terrible, the food was average at best, and the price was ridiculous for what was served.”
“The prix fixe menu is very nice especially you get 6 glasses of wines and 2 glasses of champagne.”
“This was the best place I could think, my wife loved it”
“They even have another authentic French menu aside from their Fondues, I will definitely be back and try everything else!”
“The service was wonderful - the waiter was knowledgable, the bus boy was attentive to clearing our utensils and filing our waters, food was served quickly.”
“expected to see fondue only and what I've got - perfect wine list at GREAT prices!”
“My husband and I enjoyed the food however the service was a little slow.”View Less
Give me a break.
The cheese fondue was ok, but when we were going out the door, there was a bunch of trash bags in the alley. They were filled with boxes of cheese fondue from the supermarket. I can't believe it,
they use cheese fondue from a box.
Ugh.…

WORST NEW YARS EVER!!!!. Your review WORST NIGHT EVER! - - Today Extremely over rated and over priced. I made dinner reservation for a nice quiet romantic night with my husband New years eve. With in 5 minutes of sitting it turn into the worst night ever.It was clear that our waitress was drunk the second we sat down. We order a bottle of wine to start and she comes and pours us the wine and walks away with the bottle. It then took 45 minutes to order our food. The owner was HAMMERED!! stumbling around bumping into things and people. smashing glasses and bottle of alochol and no one cleaning anything up. Giving people who were waiting at the door shoots and taking shoots with them!!! other people in the resturant were picking up the pieces of broken glass off the floor. I order the fish as my entree and my husband the beef tenerloin( which our wonderful waitress never asked him how he wanted it cooked.) 45 minutes later when our food finally come out they hand me the fish which looked ok, and my husband the lamb?? something he did not order, when he told the waitress she looked annouyed and took it back, as I waited for a few for his food to come out he told me to just eat before mine gets cold, (too late come out on the colder side(its been sitting waiting to be served cold)) All the fish on my dish was way over cooked, everything was mushing...I could have made better fish in the dark. When my husband finally gets his meal and he cuts into the beef we realize its raw, not even rare, purple cold and RAW! he again sends it back(nervously, he too in the food industry) When he gets his food for the 3rd time all they did was take the same piece of meat throw it back into the oven or what ever and cook it till it cooks all its flavors right out. thru the whole night and only having 3 waiters on, and 2 out of those 3 were drunk. the one and only sober one saved the night.(I personally hunted her down to tip her and only her) took a long time but she did single handly took care of everyone. I watched people wait and hour to get there credit cards back, other wait 45 minutes to have there dinner plates cleared. most people paying the bill on a prix fixed menu and skipping out on dessert, with no discounts. I am disgusted with the service and the poor qaulity of the food. My husband is in the industry and I have been to alot of high scale resturants, but this was the worst. By the time we finished there was no time for us to make it to anywhere else we wanted to go. so we spent midnight, on the train. thank you wine cellar.…
Best fondue ever!!!!. My girlfriend and I came here for dinner yesterday. I have eaten here before, so I know what I was getting into, but my girlfriend never experienced fondue before. Since we only had an hour we only did the cheese and dessert fondue. The cheese fondue was very good. I’ve been to the Meltingpot before, but you can’t compare these restaurants. Cheese at the Wine cellar is a top notch!!! The sides it came with were bread, carrots, celery and apples. I really liked that it was nice and thick. Then we had a dessert fondue. It is dark chocolate with marshmallows and fruits. It was amazing! You never go wrong when you go to the wine cellar!!! As to the wine list – I am not a big wine drinker, but for a real wine lover – it’s a paradise.…
Love and Chocolate.
People say that too much of anything is not good for you baby, but I don?t know about that at the Wine Cellar.
It starts off slow and smooth. Quiet decor, Carla Bruni singing soft sultry chanson. The host gently removes your coat and ushers you to your seat. It?s almost too perfect of a moment, especially knowing that it?s only just begun.
Food and love share multiple qualities, foremost being the element of choice. Whether an extensive menu or a crowded nightclub, one has a cornucopia of options upon which to dine. That is why Fondue is so undeniably titillating.
The Cheese
The Classic is always a steady date. Emmentale and Gruyere in smooth brandy, add a little wine and you have a reliably good start to a meal. If you are feeling a little bit crazy, the Brittany might be your dish de nuit. However, if you are a romantic at heart, desiring passion and flare, you should taste the French Gruyere.
At first, you maneuver awkwardly with the miniature fondue forks?dipping hard dry pieces of bread and potatoes tentatively into the molten pit of warm, soft fromage. But with practice makes perfect, and in no time, you gain expertise.
With the last bite, you almost peak with satiation and delight, but soon regain your center as you prepare for the entree.
