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.

If you are looking for dry bread diped in overcooked, stringy cheese, salty, boiled meat, or rice krispy treats dunked in chocolate then this is the place to go. The extra bonus is that not only do you get horrible food, but you get to pay alot for it. I don't recommend this place to ANYONE! Also, they water down the martini's.

There is only one I review I read that probably isn't written by one of the franchise owners and or/employees that was spot on..to sum it up, garbage. The staff were all new hires and tried to make the best of it but you could tell that they were told what to say, for example, our server kept making recommendations about how much he loved certain selections while his manager let us know is was the server's first night. I heard later on from another server at the next table over give the exact same ridiculous speech to their customers with the exact same "favorite" recommendations. This has corporate franchise written all over it, much worse than others. It was so blatent that I found it entertaining, they are seriously drinking the franchise restaurant kool-aid garbage at this place. The cheese, no joke, looked like shredded velveeta. The look of the shredded cheese can only come from a plastic bag as fresh cheese will stick together. The bring it to the table to put in a hot, steaming bowl to melt with a splash of beer and a couple of other ingredients with some apples and bread. I could of done better at my house with some easy-cheese and a piece of wonder bread. The salad was awful, it was filled with roasted nuts that you would find on a street corner being sold in a bag for a doller...anyone who has visited manhattan or boston know what I'm talking about. The actual dinner was cooked in a bowl of broth, so your meats and fish were all cooked together and tasted alike as well. It was not not not good, at all. For the amount of money they charged you it made me really feel like I was some idiot, which maybe I was for accepting and paying the bill. Dessert was comprised of a pretty awful mix of extremely cheap melting white chocolate and caramels. Your dipping items were rice krispie treats!! haha, garbage! and marshmellows!! A complete joke! Needlees to say, complete garbage, a complete ripoff and you have to cook your own food! Don't go!
