This us a very busy, family friendly restaurant. If you are looking for an upscale, romantic date night, I would pass. However, if you love fondue and enjoy a boisterous environment, this is for you!

Great ambiance, decor and menu reflected lots of unique cuisine, drinks from Swiss/Alpine cultures and the service was excellent. Shared appetizer of salad and also shared dessert of strudel was delicious and high quality. My only observation never having had Raclette before I was looking forward to shaving gooey cheese off of a wheel of cheese at the table as I thought I had seen in other restaurants or social media. I wasn’t expecting to grill our food and cheese at the table on an electric griddle. Regardless, the quality of the food was excellent and delicious- so other than slight difference in what I expected, it was a great experience!

Great food and service. This our favorite fondue place. Cheese is exported from Switzerland and so good. You feel like you ate sitting in a village in Switzerland.

The restaurant food experience was of good quality . The only complaint is the size of the lamp chop which was more of a one bite experience way too small for the $44. Price for 3 lollipop size chops not a full chop. Ambience and decor lovely theme for the Swiss Chalet experience.

Very good service! We had beef fondue and chocolate fondue for dessert. Realistically, this is not an authentic Swiss fondue, but is still pretty good. The place is family friendly.
