    Food was delicious and they have an extensive cocktail menu! Highly suggest the truffle cheese fondue. Also good value compared to a certain chain fondue restaurant lol, plus dining local and all that! We had an early res and it was nice and quiet inside

    Restaurant is small and dark. Mediocre food. The biggest turn off...the "Free Palestine" sticker in the window. We won't be returning. We won't support a restaurant that condones the killing of Jews. Better go read a history book.

    If you think you have had fondue, I can guarantee you haven't unless you have had it here. The vibe, staff, food is over the top. Come for a date night, special occasion, or just because. I have done it all and continually bring friends here who all fall in love with this place. Have never had a bad interaction here.

    Dined here several times over the years and its always very good. The service was a bit slow at first but got better. The food was tasty but how can you go wrong with fondue. Parking is a hassle as always in the Pearl on a Friday night.

    The only part of the room that is lit well are the 4 booths along the wall. So it makes the room feel uneven. The Fondue options were great. The entrees didn't taste very good. Everything on the single plate would begin to taste the same and for vegetarians you get 2ravioli and bits of cucumber, squash and tomatoes. It was pretty disappointing, I the cheese was good but nothing else. If anything gets that to-go you'll can have a nicer time at home

    We had our anniversary dinner here and had a wonderful time. The entire staff was great and the food was of course delicious and memorable. The decore was beautifully updated since the last time we had been in as well. Highly recommend the “fondue for two” and getting a martini. They know what they are doing and it’s fantastic.

    This was a celebration for two birthday gals and the staff, food and overall experience was great. It was the first time for me but recommended by the other party and I will certainly be back as will she. For the quality and amount of food we received we feel it was a great bargain. Enjoyed it and like how it was a great finish to a wonderful day. The waitress was warm, very knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions that completed our wonderful experience. CUDO's to all the staff.

    Service was fabulous! Everything else was not our favorite. The experience has changed over the years and we do not find the value worth the cost any longer. Some of our meat options looked as if they were scraps and not premium meats as the menu implies. Definitely disappointed with the portion sizes (we all left hungry after a $200 meal). I would try again if invited to this location for a social gathering by others, but will not plan another outing here ourselves.

    The meal took three hours. Fondue restaurants are an experience and understandably take longer than an average dinner out. However, three hours was not required for this meal. The first thirty minutes was spent waiting for our drinks, which arrived room temperature. The first hour was spent waiting for the first course cheese fondue: cheese and bread do not require an hour. The second hour was spent waiting for the entree fondue; the broth was set down on the table and we waited 30 minutes before asking our server about it. She informed us that she thought we received the second course already. She was very nice and apologetic and really she was the only redeeming part of this meal; great service from her! Third course took another hour or so, the dessert fondue was great, how could it not be! Overall, very disappointing experience that was only redeemed by our fantastic server. Food quality was underwhelming, cost was high, and the overall experience took way too long.

    It’s a fabulous place for food, drink and great atmosphere. The fondue options are so good!! They always have a fun seasonal one to try. The food is always perfect for the broth. The servers are wonderful at helping you choose the best broth for your entree choice, and the dessert fondues are over the top!!! A great place for all occasions.

    It felt good to return to a restaurant we’d last been to before the pandemic. My cocktail was great, the smoked cheddar fondue was delicious, & the entree was varied & suited us perfectly. The only downsides were that it took a while to be waited on (& our waitress was great from then on), the gluten-free bread for the fondue was a bit uninspired, & we could have used a bit more fish & meat for our entree. Still, I’m glad we went!

    Good food, decent price, non-chocolate choices for dessert if you need that. Suggestion: there should be apple on the dip-ables plate with the banana and other items. (Hint: take your left over salted caramel fondue home to eat with apples)

    Went for my wedding anniversary with my husband and it was a great experience. Our server was great at helping us pick our choices in cheese & dessert fondues as well as the best broth for the entrees we got, as well as the dipping sauces that worked will too. It wasn’t loud and it was quite relaxing. It’s best to go when it’s still light out cause once it’s dark it’s very dark in the restaurant and the only like is the lights that are over the booths.

    The cheese course was absolutely delicious! We could have eaten cheese all evening and been no worse for wear. The entrees were all bland and the broths did little to enhance their flavor. The portions were very small for the money as well. Instead of leaving multiple sauces on every table and wasting so much, maybe just offer people the options and let them pick what they want. The desserts were also disappointing. The chocolate does not specify that they are bittersweet chocolate so they tasted dramatically different than what we'd hoped for. The Marionberry cheesecake was delicious. I'd like a few more pieces of fruit. Leave off the stale and heavy donut holes. They're like wallpaper paste. Service was decent. The drinks were very good but quite pricey. I would have appreciated being asked if I was ok with cucumber water before it was given to me. Lastly, went for mother's day and there were no specials. I was a little disappointed that there was no special menu or even a little goodie for moms. That would have gone a long way.
