    Good food but when we got to the bill portion, we asked about the $25 future use and the server told us it was included on the bill now looking at the receipt there is no $25 credit and we do not have the $25 gift certificate.

    My boyfriend and I go here quite often and every time we’ve returned it has gotten worse. First, we waited 15 minutes for our drinks. (coke and dr pepper) After we finished our entrees, we waited another 30 minutes for our waitress to return. We ended up not even getting our chocolate fondue and asked for the check. My favorite part is the chocolate and I completely lost interest after waiting for so long I just wanted to leave.

    Zack was great! Half the party was gluten free b/c celiac and the other half was not. Everyone enjoyed all four courses! Those with celiac were able to enjoy just as much food as those without it. Zack did a great job keep the gluten free food safe from cross contact! Plan to return for another wonderful meal in the future!

    Ashley, we appreciate your kind words. We are so happy that your experience with us was amazing and Zach took great care of you!

    Impressive in every way! Our server Tiffany was extremely thorough and friendly. It was our our anniversary celebration and they greeted us appropriately and had a rose at the table for my wife. No cues were missed and we had a great, relaxing meal.

    Absolutely amazing experience! The food was delicious and our waitress, Skylar, was very friendly and helpful to making sure we had a wonderful meal. Plus, with a $25 donation to St. Jude we received a $40 dine card and a chance to spin the wheel where we won a free cheese and chocolate for 2 gift certificate as well. Great service!

    We had a wonderful time. Our server was excellent. We asked a bunch of questions and she answered them all. We ended up trying the Oktober Fondue Fest and it DID NOT disappoint. We are still talking about how delicious everything was. It was our anniversary and I specifically requested a quiet space - they placed us in a small room off of the main hallway where there were no distractions - it was so nice to enjoy the meal and just talk with my best friend. Thank you for adding new memories to our years together.
