I ADORE this place. It was fairly pricey and there was a little wait for our crepes (maybe that's normal for cooking) but well worth it. Everything I tried was amazing, but the plain butter crepes were my absolute favorite.

Unclear when it’s open- not worth the hassle

Closed at 6 PM on a Wednesday. Hours show that it should be open.

Ridiculous it says open it accept reservations and when you get there it’s closed such a disrespect

The restaurant was closed but the reservation was still automatically confirmed. I wasted time and money driving and parking; there is no notice of any closures on any social media pages or their website. I shouldn't have had to call to confirm a “confirmed reservation”. Very disappointed; ruined my date night and one of the very few attempts I've made to eat out in the past year.

This restaurant was closed when I arrived for our reservation. Very disappointed that they are still accepting OpenTable reservations despite being closed. No indication that they were closed on their website or Facebook, either, which was extra disappointing. This really threw a wrench in our date night and although we still ended up having a nice time elsewhere, we were both highly disappointed.

Can't give it a fair review. As although we made a reservation the restaurant was closed. As a result was not able to try it. It would have been nice if I received a call or e-mail to let me know.

It was a delightful dinner of cheese! I'd add another $ to the listing as it was $25/person for fondue. Add a bottle of wine and it makes for a delicious meal. We had the shallots. I would highly recommend this as your destination for anything fondue. A shining example of fonduage!

wonderful experience. fondue was so good. atmosphere was perfect
Au Chalet is meant as a particular experience. My girlfriend and I went for an intimate Valentine's Day dinner, and we were warmly greeted by the Swiss & French gentlemen who run the establishment and waited on us as a team throughout the evening. The lighting, decor (replete with roses at every table) and music made for a most romantic time - even before the fondue had arrived. The menu is, admittedly, limited. You have a choice between the fondue and the raclette (along with a salad as an appetizer and chocolate or lemon tart for desert). We opted for the former, along with two glasses of wine (from a similarly limited selection, though the red and the white were both quite tasty). The cheese was a time and a half. They kept bringing more and more bread our way as if to ensure that we died of carbohydrate poisoning later in the night. When we passed on dessert, they still brought out some chocolate brittle for us to nibble on. I'd say the place is well worth the venture when you are looking for something different – a hidden gem that upholds New Haven's diverse and excellent culinary brand. The owner and his crew will make you feel more than welcome.

Just what my wife wanted for her birthday celebration!

start with 1 star for decor. upon opening the door it seemed like we entered a mountain hut. nice. Last Saturday (feb. 1, 2020) evening & i took my daughter & my mother to Au Chalet looking forward to a charming dinner of raclette served in a tradition style i.e., melted top of half wheel of cheese scrapped over one's dinner plate. what we got was completely ripped off. our dinner, if one can call it that, consisted of a small arugula only salad (nicely dressed, but boring), 3 slices of only ! style of salami with 3 cornichons (pickles) atop, pre-sliced raclette cheese & boiled potatoes. hardly charcuterie for $24 per plate. these potatoes were boiled perfectly; however, totally lacking any seasoning... while this maybe classic as a dinner entree in Switzerland ....a bore stateside. salt & pepper perhaps an herb? also, during my research before heading there i read reviewed: great assortment of beers (only 4 listed & was told that they only had Leffe, which i had), 1 picture showed a fine assortment of charcuterie and another shown a proper melting system... we were given a toaster oven to cook our own pre-sliced cheese... looking like the same raclette one can pick-up at Trader Joe's for $5.99 per half pound. i could've made this same thing at home for a total of $10 for the 3 of us, not $72. with my beer & 1 glass of wine i walked out paying over $100 with tip (why i did tip i don't know)... not much or average for a typical dinner: however, this was robbery. ending with 1 star for decor. saddened.
