    Good experience overall! Just don’t sit at the end of lovers lane if you don’t want to hear “corner” every minute. Food was fantastic as always. Don’t forget to buy the garlic and wine seasoning for your home and use it on everything!

    Busy Restaurant Week evening so it was loud and crowded. Our server did a good job despite food coming out of the kitchen slowly. Better for date night than for a large group, in my opinion. Make a reservation or the wait is in the crowded cold lobby.

    First time there. We went for Winter Restaurant Week. The table we were at was in the middle of the room and the lighting was dark which made it hard to see the menu. We noticed the tables by the walls were brighter so maybe we should of asked to move. We wear glasses with bifocals so the menu's small print was hard to read. The food we had was very good and glad we tried it.

    This is a favorite place for a family member's birthday. Every time we go, I'm struck by how much we all enjoy the experience. We typically get an alpine cheese and a cheddar cheese, some salads (the strawberry almond is delicious), one oil entree and one broth entree, and sometimes add on a chocolate fondue. Note: you don't really need to buy a full portion for each person if you're eating more than one course. There are 6 dipping sauces to choose from. My favorites are the plum-ginger, the blue cheese, and the curry -- which unexpectedly also mix together really well! Many in my family also love the green goddess, and one loves the teriyaki. They had some delicious cocktails for dry January as well. It's increasingly rare to find a quiet, cozy restaurant like this, so that's a distinct advantage as well. Once, we were initially seated in the bar area, which was not nearly as cozy as the main area -- brighter and with a giant picture window looking at the bleary parking lot -- so we asked to be moved to the regular, cozier area and were happy.

    Went for New Year's Eve, and I made a reservation ahead of time but had to wait 40 minutes before getting seated. The food and service were great, but it took 3 hours for the entire meal.

    Diana, thank you for dining with us on a very busy NYE, and for the kind words for food and service. We're so sorry about the wait to be seated. Our GM has your contact information and will be reaching out to you soon. Best, Melting Pot
