Can only afford it for special occasions, but well worth every penny! It's more than just a dinner, it's a whole experience. Be aware that this is a meal that will take a good long evening to enjoy with friends. (Not your typical eat and run.) My fiance and I love the dinner and a movie package.

A full dinner is pretty expensive but worth it for a special occasion. I've been here a few times and it's always fun and the food is really good. Also a fun option to go out with friends for drinks and apps or dessert.

Delightful! Fun . A bit confusing for first timers and it is a leisure dinning experience for sure. Dark, cozy , pricey but worth it. We split the 4 pick...the chocolate dessert was fantastic

I enjoy this place. It’s a unique experience and everyone should at least try it. Daughter and I had the four course meal and I think the dessert is the best.

We found a groupon with a great deal for a 3 course meal. There were lots of options and our waitress was very knowledgeable about all of the options. Had a great time and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good date night.

Food was amazing!!! Our waitress was awesome😊. We had a four course meal and spent two and a half hours here. Just enjoying each others company. Yes they are a bit pricey but well worth it. 180 bucks well spent. 😍😍😍

Went there for the Valentines Day pre fixe menu. Firstly, there was a very very rude customer in the lobby area, spouting off how she was so upset that there were kids in the restaurant, and demanding she be seated elsewhere. She got angry when told she’d have to wait a few minutes. Despite her being unreasonable and rude, the manager and hostess were both professional and nice, which I commend them on. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 course meal, and our waiter definitely made it an even better and friendly experience. The restaurant made a point to make more private one-on-one dining tables with dividers and the like, making our dinner even more enjoyable. I’m definitely a fan of this location.

Food is always great in this place. Some training would probably help improve the service. Our bottle of white wine was at room temperature, not brought with a cold bucket and not poured. Otherwise it was a great experience.

I love the concept of cooking your own food at a restaurant. Was a little pressed for time so had to skip the 99 dollar 4 course meal per couple but definitely would like to try it one day. We had the mojo flavor for dinner with a variety of different meats. And the turtle for dessert with a variety of sweets.

Oh man, where to begin. Took 50 minutes to get our drink order. Took another 30 minutes to get our salads. There was hair in the salad. Our waiter never came to check on us. We were never instructed on how to use the grill. This turned into a 3.5 hour ordeal and we didn't even got to the dessert. The service alone will make me never go back, which is sad because I looked forward to coming here.

I probably wouldn't usually visit a restaurant such as this. I actually like to go out to eat to relax & have my food cooked for me. Nevertheless, a group of us attended for a coworkers farewell. The menu is all raw food. Steak, chicken, seafood, vegetables, cheeses, & chocolates. The griddles are on a tabletop & can get rather smoky especially if you like your red meat well done. Overall, a different food experience. While the ying and yang martini was picture perfect for IG, couldn't taste the liquor at all. The waitress was very pleasant. The prices are expensive for the amount of food & lack of alcohol in drink. I probably wouldn't choose this type of outing again, but nonetheless enjoyed.

Great experience and delicious food! I have been several times now and each dinner (and drinks) has been amazing. Our last visit was made especially delightful by our server, Chloe, who went beyond to make our night a treat. I highly suggest this place for people looking to try something new and/or for small groups. ;)

The new owners are absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond the entire time my mom and I were dining out tonight! Rob &Tristan were very entertaining and kept us laughing the whole night! They were very accommodating when we asked for old options and even created something new for us! I highly recommend going there ASAP!

Not the best place to eat if your vegetarian. They have Vegetarian options but everything is cooked in one pot with the meat. Great service though!

Set Menu for Valentine's Day, and there was no sharing which meant more food than we needed and a more expensive tab. But, the food was great and dessert is always the best part. I'm still drooling over that Chocolate..

First time here celebrating our daughter's birthday. It's a fun, new & different place to dine but be prepared to pay for it! The food was good and the atmosphere was very nice. Our service could have been a bit more attentive, however. Overall, I recommend this place for a new & different experience but not a regular visit.

I've been waiting for this review request for a while. For starters- they advertised a deal online for a bachelorette party my group was going to take advantage of. We came to find out that they would not honor their own advertising. But we ordered anyways. The way they explained the changes were so confusing I didn't even know what to do but just followed everyone else. Now, when we were being served- we were ignored. I took care of topping off drinks for my girls, and my girls organized the table for pick up if and when they stopped by to help us. They simply dropped the food/drinks off and left. Nothing more. I've literally been served better at Taco John's.

Wife and I had a 4 course meal here. The highlights were the salad and dessert. Our cheese appetizer and dinner entree fondue were both surprisingly bland, no matter was sauces we added to the food. The California salad was small but delightful, my wife said the pasta part of her entree was actually good, and the Yin and Yang dessert was very enjoyable. Towards the end of the dessert the chocolate started turning bitter from being heated too long and left a burn taste in my mouth, but up until that point almost everything on the dessert platter was unique and tastey! I'd go back for dessert, but not for dinner.

Monday Ladies night. Nice deal. Great food. Amazing drinks. Service on the other hand, was absolutely horrible. Our waiter was next to never in the dinning room. Asked him for water, he forgot. Empty glasses for 2 courses of the meal. We had to flag someone else down to bring us water. Asked him for extra sauce, he forgot. Asked him for drinks, they took 15 minutes. Twice!!!Sat there for a long time and ended up having to ask a waitress for our bills. This service was so bad that I've consider never going back.

I feel like it has gone downhill. We like to come for special occasions so were here recently for my son's birthday. I feel like the portion sizes have really gotten way too small. For $150 the four of us did not get full. The dishes for the sauces seem to have gotten smaller and we used them all up quickly and were not offered more. Service was just okay and we felt a little ignored as the night went on. We were not offered more drinks and when we did order another one it never came. Food is definitely good, just very pricey for the quantity.
