    I had booked a table for 3 on NYE. They had a experience menu (5 course prix fixe), and I had ordered the champagne package as an extra. The trouble started right after we were seated. Our server came and greeted us with how tired she was, and could we make our choices quick. We tried being cheerful with her, but it seemed to make her more grumpy. Never mind, we waited for our sodas to appear, since we assumed that the restaurant would know about the champagne package in our reservation. The sodas came out after 30 minutes. Once we asked our server about the champagne, she appeared confused, and went to inquire what it was. Then she comes out with the champagne and places it right beside the stove. I asked her to take it away for now and bring it out close to 12 AM. Big mistake. It has been almost an hour by now, and then the food comes out — all 3 courses at the same time. The restaurant has 3 tables occupied, and this happens. The cherry on the top was the cheese fondue. They brought out enough dippers for two (I could compare the amount with another table next to us, which also had 3 guests). The amount of fondue cheese was so little that we were literally scraping the bottom of the pot. I finally got hold of the manager and showed her what was happening. She seemed surprised and offered to redo that course, with a fresh pot of cheese. I also asked for a change of servers. By this time it was 12, and my champagne was nowhere in sight. I had to ask the manager again. Surprise, our previous server had handed over our champagne to the next table. Anyways, our new server got another champagne bottle out to our table, and carded all of us. The main entrees came out in the right amount, but I could see that the server was getting impatient — she even informed us that we were keeping her from going home. I suppose the manager had left for the day. Then the worst thing happens. When clearing the table after the entrees, the first server comes to our table and breaks a w

    NYE so we expected it to be busy and people want to linger. We were seated about 30 minutes after our reservation time. The hostess had clues us in on the delay, although longer than expected. When seated, it took a while for the waitress to come to the table, get the drink order etc. It was at least 15 minutes for drinks to arrive. Same for the first course. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive, but service was leisurely at best. The food was very good, abundant and fresh. The cheese fondue was fragrant, bread tasty and the vegetables crisp. Way too much food on the entree, particularly after the cheese and salad. Chocolate fondue and all the fixings were divine. One complaint... please don't advertise shrimp cocktail as the first course and present a plate with 2 shrimp, to be shared by 2 people! Perfectly cooked shrimp with excellent shrimp sauce, but one shrimp really doesn't a cocktail make!

    The cheese fondue and dessert were great. I wish we chose oiil but we were really swayed not to. Boiled meat in broth was not good. Our server was great and we had reservations but still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. We understand it’s NYE and it was very busy.

    This location has a new manager and it shows. We were here earlier this year on two occasions and it seemed … meh. One time they were understaffed and the decor seemed tired and worn. But this time, it really seemed back to its former self. We were there on NYE. There was lots of staff. The manager stopped by twice to check on us and see if she could get us anything. The decor seemed a bit refreshed. Also, my husband has celiac and must have a gluten free meal with no cross contamination. The servers and kitchen staff here have been knowledgeable and great about accommodations for gluten free meals for him. This has been great and is just one of the reasons we will be back.

    Our host (server seems demeaning) was amazeballs. Very friendly and welcoming with a great sense of humor and passion for her job. She suggested, enhanced, entertained and was a great ambassador for your brand. Oh yeah, the food was great too
