| - I have seriously mixed feelings about this place, so I am going to separate the good from the not so good and give an explanation for my rating.
A little background: I came here with my 4 year old son and 11 year old daughter. We got the large cheddar cheese with a pretzel, focaccia/French bread, broccoli, cauliflower, and ham. For dessert, we got a medium milk chocolate with marshmallows, Rice Krispie treats, strawberries, and apples.
The good: My son says he loves this place "as big as the sky." The chocolate "fondue" is delicious. Like really, really delicious. The fruit was really fresh and delicious as well. My kids and I all genuinely loved the dessert, even though my daughter didn't eat the chocolate. The large soft pretzel was hot,fresh, and really good as well.
The not so good: The cheese was pretty bland. Like, almost tasteless. The bread was also a little stale, but super fresh bread would have been hard to work with. I think a better solution would be really crusty French bread. The veggies were raw, which was fine, but it would have been a lot better had they been very lightly steamed. The service was also pretty slow, but they were busy and it's a locally owned mom and pop place. We were in no hurry so it didn't impact my rating at all, but it's worth noting in case someone else is in a hurry.
I struggled with how to rate this place because I didn't really like the savory part, but I reeeeally loved the dessert. I also have to take into account that my 4 year old loved every part of it. My 11 year old was a bit indifferent, but she doesn't particularly like cheese and she hates chocolate, so I didn't really take her viewpoint into consideration. All in all, I think this place deserves a solid 4 if you have kids you are trying to please. If I could separate the ratings, I'd give it a 2 for the savory part of the meal and a 5 for the sweet.
