    We were celebrating my wife's birthday and from the moment we arrived despite having a reservation, we did not get a proper greeting. We also did not get the type of request we asked for despite this being available at that time. The waitress we had came late to greet us at our table and she was noticeably absent throughout the dinner service. At one point we have to address this to the manager since we were very disappointed with her. Our waitress lacked charm, attentiveness and accountability. Even the way she stirred and mixed the fondue was so aggressive that it splashed on to my shirt and my wife's blouse. When we call out her attitude and Though the manager tried to resolve the issues, we could never get back to a celebratory feeling.

    The service is very slow (largely due to how long it takes to cook fondue entrees) so be prepared for a 3 hour meal if you do the 4 course. The servers are great and the food is good.

    Everything started off well, until we ordered, then everything took ages, we waited almost 1 hour for the bill and then 10 minutes to get my card back. I think management changed since last visit cause this is not the service we used to. Normally we were in and out within 1,5h, today this was almost double.

    Memorable experience for all of the wrong reasons. We had reservations for 6:30, we arrived at 6:20, were promptly seated and nobody came to our table until 6:40. Didn’t think much of it, maybe busy transition time…but it was a sign of things to come. Everything was slow for no apparent reason, others around us received their cheese course, salads and entrees and were staring desserts after being seated well after our party of 3…..we had just received our cheese course. Food was ok, cheese course and dessert were the best, entrees were serviceable but not great. All in total we spent 3 hours and 15 minutes, most the time was spent waiting…again for no apparent reason. Quickest service we received was when we asked for the check and to give payment. Both my wife and I have previous food service histories and always give waitstaff the benefit of the doubt, but this was less than poor service with just serviceable food. Waitress when present was very nice, pleasant, personable, we could have been an outlying table for her section but it ruined the experience and didn’t justify the $280 check with tip….yes I still tipped and tipped well for most standard but not my typical 40%+. It was a somber ending to a beautiful birthday day for my wife. Again memorable but not in a good way….
