I went to Max Brenner on Christmas Eve after reading about this restaurant on Yelp and being instantly intrigued. I had come by the day before to buy cookies from the stand outside of the restaurant. The cookies (chocolate chip with nuts) are amazing! They are pricey at $5 each but they are large and heavy! I was shocked at how big they were. So we decided to come back the next night for dessert before going out to have drinks.
We got the fondue for two which was, I believe $21.95. With the fondue we got strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and what looked like store bought brownies, caramel and two types of chocoloate (we got milk and white). The fondue flame was a bit out of control! It was sparking a lot and actually made me a bit nervous that something would catch on fire. I was even more nervous after our server told us that a previous diner's Louis Vuitton bag caught fire a bit after a spark landed on a napkin then landed on her bag! I was like "Umm, you can take it away now!". Although I laugh/laughed about it, it could be dangerous though so you definetly need to pay attention.
I felt that the fondue overall was kinda of basic and not that elaborate or special. It's easy to just cut up some fruit, get a few marshamllows and some Little Debbie brownies and put them in a bowl and melt some chocolate. I was expecting it to be a little more elaborate or to have a wow-factor. The overall experience of eating fondue and laughing about the out on control flame was fun and that did over-ride the lackluster service and fondue.
I would probably only go back for the cookies.
