    Spent over 200 dollars for my families Easter dinner. They got most if not everything wrong completely. Lighten was bad We had a new-ish server that didn't spend time with us. Waited on drinks / food service the whole time Just an overall disappointment for the price and my family.

    Great food, awesome service, and we dined in a nice secluded pocket, in which we, my wife and I, enjoyed our meal. Thank you, MP. we celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary that night, hats off!

    We love fondue & you can’t beat the melting pot for making things easy! We placed our orders and our waitstaff was able to swizzle it around to get us the best savings with their different promotions. Every fondue from cheese through chocolate was delicious! I always think I’m going to be hungry after but once again I was stuffed when I left. We will definitely be back!

    We arrived early for our reservation because we had read about Happy Hour at the bar. Absolutely the best deal in town and the lighting was so much better in the bar area!! Lauren was our bartender and server….she was totally amazing!! Lauren was knowledgeable (our last visit was prolly 15 years ago) and we needed a refresher course!! Service and quality were excellent and we had an outstanding evening!! We will be back!!
