For $42 the lobster for the fondue was not worth ordering. Only one very small lobster was sent out for two people. The speghetti could have used a lot more sauce. I did like the fact that they brought out a blue tooth speaker that I was able to connect my phone to for background music. I would highly recommend this experience.
