   Loved the ambiance, started with a lite up head piece and drinks. The cheese fondue was really good. It was definitely an experience not just a meal.

   Unfortunately we did not like the entree, filet had no flavor, chicken caprese was dry and all cheese, no flavor. The lobster bisque was good, whiskey shrimp and the dessert were amazing. Next time we will do the fondue. Great atmosphere and the dessert menu is amazing. We did enjoy the ambiance.

   The place is very cute, and overall it was a fun experience, but it was definitely not worth the high price tag. $70 per person, plus $29 for a small amount of lobster tail for the strangest fondue experience I’ve ever had. 4 courses, starting with a literal cup-sized salad, followed by a bunch of uncooked veggies and bread that you dip in cheese that *you* have to melt - this was very strange. Then the meat came out, and what was supposed to be filet mignon was definitely pre-cut chuck roast corners for stew. It was chewy and full of gristle. The meatballs were store bought. The chicken and shrimp was fine. The wine was a local brand from a keg, which is totally fine except that normally when served this way you serve by the liter, and at a lower cost due to the fact that the wine was purchased by the restaurant in bulk. It was definitely not at a lower cost, less than a full bottle, and the red wine was served much too cold (I understand keeping them in a fridge, but not the same fridge as beer - too cold). The dessert fondue was pretty good, nothing to write home about. Our server was sweet but very distracted. They charged a 20% gratuity for all parties because it was Christmas - that I actually appreciate, though it sort of felt like they expected you to tip double. The whole bill was $360 for 3 people. That is far too much for this “experience.” Ultimately, glad we did it, because I’ve always been curious about that place, but we all agreed that, based on this visit, we won’t be back.

   First visit, so I wasn't sure what to expect. We were not fans of the small, high table. We didn't know there was a way to reserve other tables on the Open Table app (we had a res for 4pm).There was not enough room for drinks, water, entree sauce dish to share etc.. The food was plentiful and good. We didn't feel the hot broth cooked the filet mignon quick enough, oil is best for this. We recommend 2 skewers per person as a standard. Our waitress, Mya was wonderful! She offered to find the 2 additional skewers.

   Excellent spot for a special occasion! Portions a little small, but maybe we were really hungry. Service was wonderful, and ambience is amazing. Thank you for making my father’s birthday special.

   We had a 745 reservation and we were set immediately, but then we waited quite a while for anyone to come to us . Then, unfortunately, when we’re halfway through our meal, they started cleaning up the restaurant, putting chairs on top of tables chatting with each other. We were gone before 9 o’clock.. It just felt like almost as soon as we got our food, they wanted us to leave.

   What a unique experience. The service was great and they have created a one of a kind dining experience. You dont feel rushed and the live music was a nice add while not being intrusive. The food was good but not the star of the show with the exception of the chocolate fondue which was excellent, lots of variety of dippers and a great flavor.

   Enjoyable experience and fun ambiance. My husband loved the Shepard’s pie and I enjoyed the short ribs. I did not realize this restaurant did not have a full liquor license so just be aware of that. I will stick to wine next time as I didn’t really enjoy the

    Had a great experience at Enchanted Forrest. It was our first time there. We didn't know that there would be a holiday event on Main Street, so it was closed, which made parking chaos. I called the restaurant after driving around for 15 minutes in traffic and the owner sat on the phone with us trying to guide us as to where we could park. She took our order over the phone as well, so that our food would be ready shortly after we finally sat. Very accommodating and I was blown away! The atmosphere is magical. We get to wear fairy halos during our dinner. The food was delicious!!! We will definitely be back again. Highly recommend! Leave at least 30 minutes ahead of your reservation, to deal with parking, just in case.
