• "The waiting staff were not interested, exceptionally bland."

Atmosphere & Decor

Pros:

• "The atmosphere is just about perfect and we felt very welcome in this cozy little nook of Soho."
• "The atmosphere! Being honest, I got Italian vibes, then German, Swiss and also Austrian. It was a really cool theme they have going on with a nice oompah music playlist playing overhead and a nice wooden 'apre-ski' vibe."

Cons:

• "If you can get past the strangely run-down decor of a wooden ski lodge, you'll find amazing fondue."

• "Claims of traditional Swiss fondue are overstated."
• "The atmosphere feels like a bad Disney restaurant, but that is forgivable for a themed restaurant."

• "The venue has a nice, traditional 80s ski restaurant vibe."
• "The decor was nice and took you into a chalet scene."
