Great atmosphere. Lovely little place in the city to enjoy some fondue and amazing wine choices

Overall just fine on account of the cheese fondue. I felt it lacked substantial flavour and was bland even when factoring in the apple, pickles, and bread to dip. We ordered the additions of meat balls and kimchi Brussel sprouts. The meat balls were not seasoned and unfortunately bland. The kimchi brussel sprouts were an easy 10/10 but could not save the overall food experience. Staff were excellent - friendly with good service, and great vibes. Cocktails we had were also very good.

A great experience all around! Loved the champagne flight, the fondues were delicious and the service was excellent. I can't wait to come back!

We went for my birthday we got a reservation for 830pm unfortunatley when we got there the tables were full so we waited and extra 10 minutes. but the server offered us a drink while we waited. it was a very small venue and parking was only street parking which was kinda rough. but the ambiance was cozy and the food and drink delicious. was a little bummed they only have the bottomless fondue on wednesdays and weekends. All in all it was a good experience and i enjoyed it.

When we arrived we were the only ones there which was nice because we got to know the staff well and they were all so pleasant. They walked us through all the menu options and answered all of our questions.

replying to Brett Wishart's most recent review:
I was there when he complained about the seating. He was only there for not even 3 minutes and he was quite rude to the waitress and abruptly left. attached is a photo 5 minutes after he left. A Kind and sane person would maybe request a different seat before making a unnecessary scene and throwing a fit of a 6 year old that didn't get hugged during Christmas.

After seeing his profile it looks like he loves giving 1 star reviews. RESTAURANTS BEWARE OF BRETT WISHART. MALE KAREN INCOMING.

We loved the food, the waitress' were awesome, kind, and funny when speaking to them. Will definitely be back and will request the same seat as Brett Wishart.

Don’t book anything but a table. They’ll seat you in the way of the door and you’ll spend the evening being walked into, in direct line of freezing drafts. Do not recommend. Horrible experience.

The best dining experience I've had, bar none, in a very long time! Went here for a friend's birthday and it was absolutely amazing. Split the dinner for two 3 ways, did Bison Brisaola and Kimchi Brussels Sprouts as add-ons with a champagne flight; phenomenal!! Kym was fantastic, we sat at the bar and she chatted with us and gave us recommendations on pairings with the cheese and wine, absolute delight she was. Everything tasted so good and it was so cozy, the music and lighting really pulled the whole experience together.
Do yourself a favour: come here, indulge, treat someone you love! You will not regret it, I can promise you that.

I booked a reservation for the last spot of the evening, so there was myself and my husband plus a table of 4 in the restaurant. When booking, there was no section to select allergies, only a notes section where I put we were there for a birthday. The space is quaint and cute but the experience soured for me when I informed the server of my celiac. After the server left I could hear her and the chef whispering about it and going through my reservation to see if I had made a note of it (my first mistake, I had not). Things seemed fine until the chef brought our fondue out and then proceeded to reprimand me for not putting my allergy in the notes section and complaining about how she had had to clean the entire kitchen because of me. “There’s a clear section when you book that asks about allergies that you should have put that in. It makes my life as a chef easier and yours when I know in advance”. Again, we were the last reservation of the evening and there was only a total of 6 of us in the whole restaurant. Not exactly busy. Needless to say that soured the evening immensely for me as a large part of the reason I had booked was because of their social media and positioning that any allergy is not a big deal and is easily accommodated. Food was fine, the server was fine, but overall professionalism was lacking for what I paid ($200 for the two of us). I would recommend that if you book here with any food allergy, call ahead and make sure they can accommodate it so that you don’t get in trouble from the chef. Again, partially my fault but they definitely could’ve handled the whole situation better.

Perfect cozy place for a date night. The flights of bubbles are perfect for trying a few different bottles out. And the fondue was amazing! Try the cheddar with SunnyCider apple cider. Yum!

We came here for a 36th bday and had a great experience! Its a very small space but we made it work and the fondue was FAB. Also loved the champagne flight!

Moonlight and Eli is an absolute gem. The fondue was fantastic—incredibly smooth and flavorful, and it stayed at the perfect temperature for our entire meal. This wonderful experience was brought together completely by our server, T&T. Their awesome, attentive service and great energy made the night so much fun. I 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a delicious and wonderfully fun night out. We can't wait to return

This was an actual “experience”. Our hostess was very knowledgeable and the service, food and drinks were above expectations. Have posted on both Instagram and Facebook and highly recommend.

Our servers Tammy and Tony were amazing and very informative. We loved our fondue, champagne & sparking flights, as well as cocktails! The venue is intimate and homey. Definitely recommend checking this place out!
