Have been coming here for over 20 years. It is still intimate and delicious, but the portions are much smaller now, and less varied unless you want to pay more. They've added more cooking methods, and I highly recommend the Mojo style. Also, do yourself a favor and try the Love Martini. One item I am sad to see omitted on the current menu is the traditional fondue with the emmentaler and gruyere Swiss, cherry brandy, garlic and nutmeg. It's a classic and should not be replaced! It would also be great if they'd bring back the bread variety. One style just seemed boring. Service was decent, but younger staff seems unaware of how classic this restaurant is in the area.

This was the first time I went to this restaurant. Somehow cooking my own food at the restaurant was not too appealing, but it was a special event so I went. What I would say is the Cheese Fondue was the best. We ordered Wisconsin Cheese and it was great. I ordered Steak Lovers for entree. Now if you like to boil your steak in soup then it's great, otherwise I would not recommend it because the meat comes in tiny bits and you have to boil it to eat it. For desert we had the Yin & Yang chocolate fondue that was also fantastic. Overall the experience was very good, service was excellent. I think this is a good place to get some Fondue and Dessert if hanging out with the friends or family.

One of those restaurants you go only for special occasions. I’m never disappointed. It’s amazing how quick 2hrs goes. Always friendly service and fresh ingredients. Always recommended.

Fun dining experience. This place is great to go to for a fun dining experience where you have to cook your own food and have a long, multi-course meal. The food is quite good but you’re essentially paying top dollar for some pieces of meat and vegetables to cook yourself… you’re paying more for the fondue experience than the cooking (best for dates/special occasions). Definitely get a broth and an oil for your entree so you can have two cooking styles. Also I thought that the Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese fondue was lacking in flavor and wish it had more seasoning, so I would suggest ordering a different cheese fondue. I think they were understaffed because it took quite a long time between courses so we were there 2.5-3 hours. But our waiter was super nice and we had fun cooking our food. Overall a good experience!

My local one does, but I think it may depend on the location - the website has location specific menus, the kids section should be at the bottom.

We were there a couple weeks ago. Seating was spaced out and masks were enforced. It was a great experience.
