Visited this evening for 90s burlesque; show was comical and I'd say worthwhile drinks and food however ... Way overpriced for what's offered. Fondue is actually just a cheese sauce with way too much roux served in a mason jar with raw mushrooms for dipping. Friend ordered an old fashioned which was basically Seagrams, soda water and an orange slice with maraschino cherry. We waited over an hour for our "food". We felt really bad for the staff as they clearly didn't have enough to serve the crowd. They also were out of some menu items which we were not told about until we went to order them. We did let the management know we weren't happy with our food or drinks and they did compensate and admit it wasn't their best service. Been here in the past without leaving a review, but had a similar experience. Ordered dessert fondue and the fruit was clearly cut on the same cutting board as onions, as everything tasted like onions... So again, servers do their best with what they have but, sadly, not worth the time or money. If you want to come, stick to beer (but ask if they *actually* have it. They ran out of Baxter, one of their only 2 taps, while we were there).

I went to the dining in the dark with my significant other and we had a blast. He said it was the most fun he has had in a long time. The experience truly is one of a kind and the food is delicious! The owner and staff were extremely professional and welcoming. Great atmosphere!

Literally the most amazing place in town!!! It is a quaint speakeasy type restaurant. They serve delicious fondue and to die for drinks. Staff is friendly and the owners almost always check to ensure their guests are happy with every aspect of the visit. They do host paint events and burlesque shows. If you are looking for a fun night out that is outside the normal chain restaurant, this is your place!!! I've been several times and never left let down.

Absolutely loved my first visit. The decor is beautiful, the food was amazing, staff was friendly, and the owner was a sweet heart! Nice to have something a little different in Auburn!. Will definitely return and look forward to seeing some of their shows!

Got to be one of the worst fondue, and experience I've had in a long time. So bad that it was comical.
We got the buffalo fondue, house ale fondue, and house cooking plate. The buffalo was ice cold, and the cooking plate was a skillet with burnt steak and burnt bacon wrapped scallops. The scallops we're so burnt a fork couldn't even pierce it.
Service was mediocre at best. She was nice but never had waters refilled and when we mentioned the issues with the food she just walked away.

So we went there for a birthday dinner last Saturday night. I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops and steak dinner. The scallops were delivered to the table charred completely, mind you it's served on a hot stone so you can finish cooking at your table. When the waitress came back to ask how it was I said, not good. She just gave us a weird look and turned and walked away without saying anything. Our friends food wasn't enjoyable either. Overall extremely dissappointed. Maybe the entertainment offsets the lack of food but we were there for dinner only and found it to be a terrible experience. I guess at the very least it was a birthday dinner I won't soon forget.

Very low key type atmosphere until the show starts. Then you immersed in this elaborate well put together show. This is incredibly original. If you are able to have an open mind then everyone should have the chance to experience this venue!
