Never been, but a co-worker speaks highly of the place.

Well we just got back and can honestly say that was one of the worst places I have ever eaten !! We had three cooking pots for 10 people to cook their food in and one kept going out. We had to alternate cooking our food in the other two pots. I had no idea we would have to cook our own food in a pot of liquidy salt !! The waiter only had our table (and a helper) and did not ask anyone if we wanted a drink refill, we had to ask. when I went to the bathroom I saw the waiter chating up some hottie in the kitchen area. I would not suggest the place and wil not go back for any reason. Even my Mom who likes those type resturaunts was dissapointed... :violent:

Rant over.. :roll:

Sounds like a beating - thanks for the heads up, that one is off the list. :wink:

We have several in the area down here. Pam's work had a dinner at one and after eating there, I really wonder how they stay in business. :roll:

I've never heard of it, I'm now glad I haven't, and when I see one, I will avoid it! Thanks for the heads up.

Never stepped foot in the place. Heard it was crazy expensive. Hard to believe they charge a lot for fondu :dont:. Anyway I'm not much for that kind of food.
