I love the intimate experience, this place has the best service staff, Kate, or her cheese name is laughing cow, is awesome. Kate was fun and did a great job with making the fondue the best experience ever.

The location is a quiet and quaint experience that allowed us to have a romantic and intimate dinner experience. The staff was very friendly, hospitable, and did everything they could to make our experience enjoyable.

We went here for date night yesterday and sat at the bar so got to chat with our lovely server/bartender Emma. It was only us and a larger table at the back on Thursday night, which made for a cozy ambiance. We ordered the classic fondue + charcuterie meats and then the Belgian chocolate one for dessert. I had the elderflower spritz and a glass of reisling which were delightful and my husband ordered sparkling sake which also paired beautifully. Definitely add the frozen profiteroles if you get the dessert fondue, they were amazing. Highly recommend!

I want to start by saying we came for valentines day and had a great time. This time, not so much. The food was cold, and the bread was stale. We had a few bites and couldn't stomach any more. For $100, it wasn't worth it.

We have been here before and had a great time. The food was delicious, the server was knowledgeable. It's been a over a year since then and we were incredibly disappointed. We were served cold meatballs and stale bread with a lumpy fondue. Mind you, the meatballs costed extra. Last time we paid over $200 and it was worth it, this time the $100 we paid was not at all. We were going to have dessert but we were too sick. I wanted to say something but the place is so small, I didn't want to make a scene for the other table.

Decided to go here for an intimate celebration with my partner for my 50th birthday. Not knowing what to expect, it was a nice surprise. Upon entering there are 2 little tables and a bar with some stools. I didn't get to see the back little room, but it looked to be much more intimate and private than the front. Our server was the sweetest woman and made sure that we had Gluten free bread basket for our fondue ( I am a celiac and it is difficult to find safe places sometimes). She was busy preparing everything fresh for the tables and once our cheese fondue was finished, she came by and helped scrape the bits of delicious baked on cheese for us to continue dining on. Our flight of champagne was delish and the chocolate fondue to end the meal was the perfect amount of sweetness. I would recommened this for a girl date or a couple of people to celebrate something fun. Final thought, Kym- our server, made the experience extra special by giving me a handwritten card for my birthday.. truly above and beyond and the nice touch I miss from dining out from years past. Thank you to Moonlight & Eli and Kym for the special meal, special card and lovely space.

Amazing fondue, was worried the cheese would be to strong and unpleasant but this is not your prepackaged fondue from the grocery store. Everything was amazing and yummy, the service is so good you feel like the only table in the restaurant cant wait to come back!!

Experience was nice but check the $ on the menu before you dine. The food was decent and it is a fun experience, staff was great and knowledgeable on champagne which was nice, but you really don't get much food for what you end up paying. My husband and I had two drinks each, cheese fondue and dessert. We had to pay extra for meats so we added meatballs (6-8 small bites) and charcuterie (small portion) and with tip it was $240. This was a bit disappointing to us since we were still a bit hungry when we left. They will give you more bread if you run out but we just wanted something a bit more substantial for a dinner. Glasses of champagne and cocktails are all around $20-$25 each, many of them are 1oz cocktails which is quite dear. We will not be returning just due to the price of everything, the experience was enjoyable.

We came in for dinner last night! We hadn’t read any reviews before going but were big fans of the fondue and champagne concept. Right off the bat, there’s a $25 per person cancellation fees for resos which I really wasn’t a big fan of. The restaurant is tiny with only bar seating, three small tables along the wall and a back room area. We chose to sit in the back away from everyone else which was nice and intimate! There was only one person servicing the entire restaurant. She was bartending, serving, and cooking on her own. Given that, service was super super slow. It took us 25 minutes from sitting down to get our drinks. We were also never given water. We didn’t get our food until about an hour after we sat down. The fondue was delicious as were the accompaniments. We also ordered the charcuterie to go along with it. Overall the fondue was not worth the price. $60 for a small pot of fondue and a small assortment to dip is kind of a crazy price! We also got the chocolate fondue for dessert, again everything was delicious but absolutely not worth the price. >$200 for two people for two courses plus a bottle of bubbles was a lot given what the food was. I work in the industry and while I totally understand food costs are rising, when you only have one staff member to pay and such slow service it’s not fair to charge such high prices. Again, while everything was delicious, the entire experience was underwhelming and we would probably not eat here again.
