    I’m definitely coming back here - the ambiance was amazing with a live jazz band and the food was delicious. Our server was nice but seemed a bit spacey; however, some man who I assume was one of the managers/owners came by a couple times to check on us which was really appreciated. All around great value and a great time. Love the menu as well.

    As always, the food at Cheesetique is delicious! We had the lasagna and truffle gnocchi and the special 20th anniversary appletini cocktail with aged cheddar. Cheesetique has long been my go-to for a nice low-key meal of comfort food.

    The food was absolutely delicious. I got the Sassy Goat which was full of flavor and my husband got the Short Rib which was fork tender and delicious. The staff were wonderful and attentive, and the decor was super cute!

    After seated, it took about 15 minutes prior to getting water. We ordered an appetizer, the cheese fondue, and expected more than just bread to dip. It was not very tasty, and I wished I had just ordered a charcuterie board. We had to ask for silverware and napkins as they were not on the table. Less than 5 minutes after getting our fondue, or food came. So although we did not enjoy the appetizer, the food was ill timed. 3 out of 4 of us enjoyed our dinners, but one sandwich was too overpowering with the cheese. When we were ready for the bill it took an exceptionally long time to get and then for it to be processed. I won’t rule this restaurant out again as many people seemed to be enjoying themselves thoroughly, but it was not the best first experience.
