Phenomenal food and probably the best service I've received in the DMV! The Brie and Pearchiutto and the Truffle Gnocchi were incredible!

The service was great. The deli next to the restaurant is a great temptation to bring home all kinds of cheese, wine, and crackers. The food was definitely cheese forward. So in the case of the French onion soup, which was one of the best I've ever had, it was as much about the bread and very generous portion of gryere on top as it was about the very delicious onion broth. Conflicted over what I wanted to try, I noticed they had take and bake options on the menu, so I opted for the lasagna for dining in, and I got a mac and cheese to go. Like the formentioned French onion soup, this lasagna was more about the generous amount of cheese inside. Both options were fantastic. We shared a charcuterie board for four, and it was plenty to go around. The warmed olives and Manchego cheese were quite delicious, too. They live up to their name, so if you love cheese, this is a great restaurant to see how your favorite dishes can really elevate the cheese as the star ingredient.

Neighborhood favorite, especially brunch when they cook the bacon right. The Brie & Pearsciutto is a fave because they crisp the prosciutto. Outdoor seating is a plus. Staff is welcoming and friendly.

My husband and I hired Cheesetique to cater our wedding reception, and they did an absolutely fabulous job! Our guests raved about the food and said it was some of the best wedding food they'd ever had! We were so pleased and delighted.When we first contacted them, they were a bit slow to respond, so I would recommend reaching out really far in advance of your event, but they came through and did such an incredible job on our wedding day. Thank you SO much for the delicious spread.

A small but excellent menu - primarily soup, salads, and sandwiches. Attractive decor. Great lunch spot, quiet atmosphere that is good for conversation. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Plenty of parking in the lot behind the restaurant.

That was the worst excuse for raclette I've ever seen. By the time the cheese is heated in the kitchen and makes it across the restaurant it's cold, congealed, and unappealing. The half scrape was barely any cheese, at least give us a full length scrape of cold cheese. Invest in a raclette heater/grill if you are going to bother with this.

Great food, great wine, and neat vibe! Loved dining in the wine room in the back of the store (located past the bathrooms to the left).

We were there for almost 2 hours, simply due to sporadic and sometime no service despite staff speeding by our table. I had to go to the desk to ask for our server just to get the check. The food was a bit bland and my plate was cold when served. No one checked to see if we wanted more food or drink. I have always loved Cheesetique at the different locations when they were around and assume it was an off day.

Overall, delicious as usual. There was no one at the host/hostess stand when we arrived, but someone came after a couple minutes. Our server was friendly, though could have been a bit more attentive. We were there for Raclette-Fest, so got the raclette dish with the sausage. The food was good, though the raclette could've been more melted... it congealed rather quickly on my plate. The sausage and potatoes were tasty; could've used a few more slices of bread. As always, the wine selections were great! I'll definitely be back.

Ordered a Paloma but it was way too sweet, but they were kind enough to get me a different drink. The charcuterie board was delicious, we cleaned the board! I got the cheese steak sandwich, and it was ok. It seemed like it needed something extra, maybe pickled jalapeño? My friend ordered the Sassy Goat (cheese) sandwich which tasted much better. Also tried their pot pie, which had a nice flaky crust, but again seemed like it was missing something. The cheese is always delicious though.

I enjoyed the pork shoulder they served although the portion of gravy was rather light. Great dessert portions of pumpkin cheesecake with a solid crust and flavor. Their front store is worth checking off you're planning a charcuterie board. Wide and fresh selection of meats, cheeses, jams, etc. Only disappointment was they didn't have their take home meals available.

A big favorite! Love the olives with Manchego along with a glass of champagne! Service is nice and sitting at the bar gives us a chance to chat with folks from the neighborhood. Food is always great.
