    Awful service, messed up our drinks, never brought half our food out, had to flag down the waiter to get any attention. They were clearly understaffed.

    we really wanted fondue and it was on the menu! but when we tried to order they said they didn’t have it, which was disappointing because we really only went for the fondue. the charcuterie board was nice though. it might be helpful for future guests if the menu is updated to more accurately reflect the lack of fondue.

    Originally booked for a business lunch, the restaurant is quaint and the food was good. Unfortunately it looked like the wait staff were run off their feet but that didn’t impact the quality of service.

    So lovely and fun, but definitely loud. The fondue was great and the vibe was cool and casual.

    After exactly 90 minutes we were asked to leave and presented with the bill. I had hardly finished my main course and was just about to look at the dessert menu. Terrible and embracing experience.

    Asked waiter if my meal would be gluten free, which they confirmed. The meal came out covered in bread (which would cause a severe reaction if I were to eat it). I let the waiter know and asked if the meal could be redone with no bread. After 20 mins of waiting, I had to get up and re-ask. I waited for another 20 mins for the manager, by which time my friends had finished their meals. I ended up leaving without eating - and did not receive so much as an apology for the mix up. Terrible service!!
