    The cheese and the chocolate was amazing. The meat… not good at all. The server didn’t like his job and it was evident. Go somewhere else. Gaslamp has many amazing options. Not worth it here.

    Excelente!, my wife and I took our moms for dinner and everything was wonderful. I forgot the waiters name but he’s from Spain and he’s service was 10/10. We wanted for our moms to have a good experience and dinner, it didn’t disappoint.

    Excellent experience! We had Hamilton tickets for the 7:00pm show, so we wanted a restaurant we already knew had delicious food. We were once again happily satisfied, Silvio was the one who took care of us that night and did a fantastic job!! Thank you Silvio!! May, June and July are all our important dates to celebrate, so we’ll definitely be back again!!

    The cheese fondue tasted more like wine than cheese. The quality of bread and veggies was mediocre. The classic chocolate fondue was good. It was way over priced for the quality of food. We won't go back.

    Food was good as usual, wine was sub par. Place was extremely loud with one party behind us loudly face timing for half an hour, kids, screaming and using their fondue forks as drums and generally just very loud and chaotic.
