    Always a great go-to for comfort food. Grown up grilled cheese hits the spot. Highly recommend the tomato soup too. Not very busy today, and service was surprisingly slow.

    Best French Onion soup around! The only place to go for an amazing grown up grilled cheese, fondue or charcuterie board.

    I’m definitely coming back here - the ambiance was amazing with a live jazz band and the food was delicious. Our server was nice but seemed a bit spacey; however, some man who I assume was one of the managers/owners came by a couple times to check on us which was really appreciated. All around great value and a great time. Love the menu as well.

    As always, the food at Cheesetique is delicious! We had the lasagna and truffle gnocchi and the special 20th anniversary appletini cocktail with aged cheddar. Cheesetique has long been my go-to for a nice low-key meal of comfort food.
