    Excellent meal and experience overall. Allergy request caused a problem with the salads that was avoidable. Kitchen issue? But error was on the side of excess caution, which is preferable to a mistake. Service and fondue courses were great.

    We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.
