    I had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, my experience fell short. The service started off well, with a friendly and attentive staff. However, we ended up waiting 45 minutes for our food, while three tables that arrived after us were served first. I understand the restaurant was busy and may have been short-staffed, but keeping track of customers and wait times is crucial for a good dining experience. As for the food, it was just okay—nothing special to make up for the long wait. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and wouldn’t rush back. Hopefully, they improve their service and efficiency in the future

    One of my favorite brunch spots in the Boston area. Just wished the croissants were the regular ones, other than that outstanding.

    Ordered an entree off the menu instead of the buffet and waited 45 minutes for it. Too long

    Our table was very awkward, they put us in a corner with partitions away from the main restaurant. I did not expect that. The dishes were okay. The fries were similar to McDonalds fries and the service was very slow.

    $70 for fondue 2ppl with some small bread pieces, cold cauliflower, and a couple cuts of deli meat is terrible! Our waitress was very absent and she didn’t didn’t seem to know the menu very well. We had to mention the fondue special she never mentioned it (that’s why we came) and she described it as an appetizer if that’s true $35 a person for a small bowl of melted cheese this restaurant should be ashamed.

    We attended fondue night because I love fondue. We started with the escargots which my son loved, and a salad with the house vinaigrette. The salad was generous and the greens and tomatoes were tasty but the dressing was just OK to me...there was a hint of citrus. I also prefer to get the dressing on the side...the salad was a little wilted from sitting in the dressing...I don't usually like too much dressing. Thankfully the taste of the dressing was not overpowering. The fondue was very good although a little less alcohol tasting than others I have had. It came with a charcuterie board which was the perfect compliment. My son also had some mussels which he enjoyed. We shared the profiterols for dessert...they were the best I have had in a very long time...very tasty.

    Our dinner ended up being great! We went for Raclette night which was fun and delicious. Drinks were also great as was the ambience - nicely lit, pretty decor, not too loud. The only disappointment was that at first we were told there was a 5 person minimum for a Raclette table, and we didn’t see any mention of that on the website.
