   One of our favorite restaurants in all of Chicago. We took friends who had never been with us and they were floored with the fondue experience. We want to thank our server Gary - he was attentive and always there throughout our meal. We were never rushed and had such a wonderful night! A hint for everyone - the house wine (Geja’s wine) is delicious and so approachable!

   It's always an amazing experience everytime we go. Today I got to celebrate Mothers Day early. The staff and manager were amazing and made our visit very memorable. We will be back soon!

   Bothers me to no end that I can spend $600 for dinner for a family of 4 adults and they charge a 4% operational fee. Give me a break. Beyond that, the food and service were exceptional.

   From the first encounter with the Vallet our experience was out of this world amazing. We were greeted with very friendly warm welcomes. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and funny. The food was phenomenal. The ambiance was lovely. We were there early so it was quiet but when we left the place was packed with a vibe of excitement.

   Unfortunately they have evolved and changed their food. The first round with the cheese fondue they have added vegetables. Oh yay Raw white onion, broccoli, yellow, orange and red pepper. I'm thinking they should ask if you want them because there was very little bread and apples and mostly vegies. Plus you get vegies with the premier dinner so I don't need more. So disappointed with that. They used to serve fillet mignon as an option but no longer only beef tenderloin so my meat was chewy. The desert was okay but they used to give you a quarter of a pineapple so it was fresh and yummy. Now it's canned pineapple. The cake was dry, the rice crispy a great idea but they were not homemade and not buttery like homemade ones. The best thing on the desert was roasting the marshmallows over the fire and then dipping it in the chocolate and sprinkling the graham cracker dust over it. The rest of the fruit was good. Just missing that pound cake and fresh pineapple. AND to top it off, we get there at 4:00 with a reservation and they sat us in this very dark little corner in the back right area. We couldn't see anything it was so dark really take that table away. And the place wasn't busy so we should have asked to be moved. We had a GREAT WAITER though. He was young and funny and made it a lot of fun. IF we go back we have our notes. Note to self don't order lobster, shrimp or scallops. Very hard to cook in the oil and get it right. Over cooked it every time so very chewy and I know it's my fault, but hot oil and sea food....... Couldn't get it right. Bummer but it's a cool place. Music was great. I'm just sad they felt they had to change their menu. I wish we knew we were getting vegies we would have said hold the vegies. Just bring us bred and apples.
