    We have eaten here many times over the years. This time when we sat in our usual booth an air vent was blowing (like crazy) extremely cold air down on us. In fact, it was so cold I had to get a jacket from my car. Usually I carry a fan with me as I seem to be hot most of the time...not this time! My husband was freezing but unfortunately he had no jacket in the car. (Mine was there becase I left it in the car from this winter when it was colder outside.) We mentioned this to the manager but she said she thought it was broken. My husband said this was the coldest he has ever been in a restaurant. (I know older people get cold easy, but we are not that old!) Service was very slow. We expect to take a while to eat since we cook our own food, it just took a while to get the cheese fondue to us and the main entree. Usually the server is on top of things so we are not sure what was going on. She was splashing the cheese fondue out of the pot when she was making it and stirring it. This has always been one of our favorite restaurants but this time it was NOT an enjoyable experience. We are in no hurry to return.

    As a self-proclaimed fondue aficionado, I can confidently say that the service I experienced this past Sunday night with Marley was among the best I’ve had in quite some time. Marley was wonderfully personable, impressively knowledgeable, and had an impeccable sense of timing—guiding our courses with seamless precision and no lapse in service. The Sarasota location is truly fortunate to have someone like Marley creating such memorable experiences for guests. A big thank you as well to Alexandra and the rest of her team for crafting the perfect night out for me and my guests. Cheers!

    Took our 3 young kids out to celebrate my birthday and hadn’t been myself since I was a kid. I remember it being much better than it was. The food was just ok and for what they charge, especially for kids, we were expecting better tasting food. The fact that they charge so much for kids meals and then it doesn’t even include a drink caught us a little off guard. $64 for 2 kids meals and then $15 additional for kids cups of club soda with no refills. Seems a bit outrageous. And it was my birthday but they didn’t do anything for it, the hostess was the only one to actually say happy birthday. Most other restaurants do something at least. I get you’re paying for the experience but for $300 we would rather go out for better food. All in all we won’t be going back.
