It's a fun experience, but just average for the dollars spent. Our waitress was pleasant, but too busy to be there when we needed her. The decor--other reviews commented on the strangeness of it, but it's fun! The pink room is pretty, and it is probably one of the more quiet places in the restaurant so I recommend reserving there if you can. As far as the food goes the salad is awesome! We had the traditional cheddar fondue, which was nice. I could have used some fresh ground pepper to kick it up a notch. Grilling the meat from our platter is where things kind of broke down. Because our waitress was so busy she forgot to turn the burner up after the cheese fondue was removed and with the dark atmosphere we couldn't really see how well things were cooking. After not seeing our waitress for ten minutes we turned up the heat on our grill and the second round of meat bits were better. She came back and turned down our grill and then we turned it up again.. back and forth a couple times, I normally wouldn't encourage taking matters into your own hands but if you don't you might be sitting there forever and still get undercooked chicken. The highlight of the evening was the chocolate turtle fondue on flambe--strawberries, spice cake balls were lovely! It was a nice experience but I'll probably just use my own fondue pot next time. also if you don't drink or don't want to drink the root beer on tap is amazing and I hear they have kombucha on tap too!
