We celebrated my birthday with our extended family and best friends. It was a wonderful experience, and everyone had a good time. Our server was our guide, expertly helping us to order both food and wine. We ended up getting a wide array of dishes, all excellent. It was wonderful to see everyone having fun, interacting with the fondue and trying Swiss wine ?. We will be back.

This was the first time I've ever had a fondue style meal and it was amazing.The meats, cheeses for appetizers were so flavorful and their special fondue the "Vampire Hunter" was incredible no matter what I dipped into it (bread, veggies, potatoes or meats.).and then rounded it off with the best fresh from scratch Mexican chocolate ice cream while my dinner mates had a chocolate ganache with fresh fruit fondue desert.Best night I've had in a while

Great food and great service. The ambience is perfect and the space immaculate! Unfortunately, I don't recall our server's name but she was younger but clearly a pro and super knowledgeable!

Seems like a local go to for traditional cheese fondu but wasn't my cup of tea. The cheese smell is horrendous and overwhelming so must need a unique palate to enjoy. Had a schnitzel and it was dry and bland compared to others I have had. The decor is top notch, service was okay and lots of people seem to like it so still giving it 4 stars. If you don't like smell of cheese I would recommend going somewhere else. If you love it you will love this place.

Very highly recommended! All of the elements of a stellar dining experience - warm, inviting and interesting decor, flawless attentive service, and absolutely delicious food. Will most certainly return.

Sublime Cabre worthy of a Swiss chalet but the fondue that I ate there as a Swiss citizen is not at all like what is done back home! Someone almost suggested that I learn what fondue is, which I found surreal!

Had dinner here. Bakery was closed. Everything was adequate. No complaints but no compliments either. Wait, Fondue and Veal Gschnätzlets were good and better than average, but nothing else was, including the boring service. I think the place 'could be' really fun, inviting, charming, with excellent food..... but it wasn't. Needs someone who cares more to run the place.

I called to order the 4 made to order cookies for $10 and sat at the bar to have a Hefeweizen while I waited. The bartender was friendly and the atmosphere is of Swiss elegance! I thought it would feel like another place I "didn't belong" but it was far from it. Great job guys! I love the paintings and there is a lot to look at. I will try the food next time.

We had the half and half fondue. We are Swiss and we did not expect this.The fondue was not really made with Gruyère and Vacherin Fribourgeois. Rather with low-end Emmental and Gouda. Too watery, too alcoholic and too salty. In short, not a real local fondue as they say... Too bad... fortunately the setting and the waitress were top notch!The fact of taking the credit card from the customer, and the waitress paying by herself without showing the amount is really weird too.. Never seen that..

The traditional Moite Moite fondue dish was amazing, and the charcuterie board and salad were excellent lead ins to the fondue. Also, the atmosphere is so pleasant, and the staff is awesome!Dietary restrictions: Celiac

Came here from the east bay for a date with my husband. It was a unique experience with the great decor and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We plan on bringing friends/family back with us. Not to mention our waitress helped us break down the menu because we have never had food like this before.
