                                                                Great ambiance, decor and menu reflected lots of unique cuisine, drinks from Swiss/Alpine cultures and the service was excellent. Shared appetizer of salad and also shared dessert of strudel was delicious and high quality. My only observation never having had Raclette before I was looking forward to shaving gooey cheese off of a wheel of cheese at the table as I thought I had seen in other restaurants or social media. I wasn’t expecting to grill our food and cheese at the table on an electric griddle. Regardless, the quality of the food was excellent and delicious- so other than slight difference in what I expected, it was a great experience!

The only complaint is the size of the lamp chop which was more of a one bite experience way too small for the $44. Price for 3 lollipop size chops not a full chop. Ambience and decor lovely theme for the Swiss Chalet experience.
