My husband and I try to go here every few months. We love the atmosphere and the food more than any other place. Melting pot is good, but it does not compare to the unique menu and the excellent wait staff. A lot of people say it is pricey but 2 people can eat a full dinner for $45 which... more

We recently held a luncheon for a wedding rehearsal party at The Little Dipper, an all-fondue restaurant. Normally, it is only open for dinner, so we had to make special arrangements to have them open for us. Kristen, the proprietress, was very accommodating. Not only did she open early for us, but she easily handled vegetarian requests and our changing... more
