I don't understand

by Hri at Citysearch

Last time I tried this place the food, the portions, the prices - were all unreasonable. I had a few pieces of raw broccoli and a scattered sampling of stale bread and was supposed to make a meal out of that? No thanks. Save the cooking yourself for home.

Delicious entree and dessert, great service!

by gethebassics , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

This is definitely a unique dining option in Boston. While my boyfriend likes to huff and puff about paying outrageous prices when we have to cook our own food, this is definitely worth it. The service here is phenomenal! The food is also yummy - I wasn't a fan of the cheese fondue, but the entree fondue and the dessert... oh wow, the dessert... we ordered the S'mores, and it was the best dessert EVER. Definitely give this place a try - it's pricey but worth it.

  • Pros: Yummy good, great desserts, good service
  • Cons: Expensive but worth it!

Something different

by spookie504 at Citysearch

We recently took my best friend here her birthday dinner. We wanted to do something unique and memorable and this was definitely a great pick. Our waiter was excellent, helping us pick option that worked for the entire group, which included both vegetarians and meat eaters. We were really impressed with the food (the wine and mixed drink options were equally fantastic) and found ourselves enjoying the meal and conversation for well over 2 hours. Leave room for dessert, it was AMAZING!!

  • Pros: Great food, drinks and dessert!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great Dinner & Service

by sully45 at Citysearch

I went with two other people and we all had very different tastes in food. One was vegetarian and the other did not care for seafood. Each of us had multiple options on the menu and were able to order accordingly. The service was great and very helpful as it was all of our first time there. I would recommend it for large or small groups for any occassion.

  • Pros: Food Options, Wait Staff
  • Cons: None

what a great concept

by ireallyamhelpful at Citysearch

Was here to celebrate a friends birthday. This place is fantastic!!!! You basically order a bunch of different fondues and sides to dip. Food came out fast, was hot, and everything was delicious. It's a great place to start a night. Save room for dessert!!! And if you went elsewhere first, stop by here to finish your meal!!! It's a great time!
