Not good to say the least

by Link Anderson

My wife and I thought it would be a great place to spend a evening with each other. We heard it had decent food, well to say the least we both were very very unhappy with everything. The service was unreal, (Slow), and the food was very poor, (I would have rather had a cheeseburger from wendys). Then to top it off the bill came and it was over $100.00. For horrible food horrible service, I would recomend Mcdonalds over this place...

• Pros: The best thing about the place was the water
• Cons: Everything

If all I want a nice ambiance, I'd go to the museums.

People who like MP maybe the people who have never been to a good fondue restaurant before. The quality of the cheese and meat is very sub-par. People who liked it may have not tasted A-grade meat/cheese or just couldn't tell the difference.

The restaurant probably feels justified to charge the high price because of the ambiance and the unique experience. Well most non-generic reviews here would give this restaurant 5 stars mostly for the experience and the ambiance. But the food...sad to say, unimpressive. Service wise, it really depends on who you get, some waiters are competent and some aren't. I have gotten each of these two types on my 4 visits.

Special events - yes go if you don't care about the food quality and just care about the experience. Then again if you have actually been to a nice fondue place/event, the MP is not that big of an experience.

• Pros: Ambiance
• Cons: Quality of food, service

Slow as molasses

by horseflesh

I signed up just to write this review.

I checked out the reviews for this place the other day, just before I was headed there. I thought the way the reviews were either glowing or hateful was interesting.

Well, unfortunately, you can put me in the unhappy camp.

The food, while good, was overpriced. But, ok, you are paying for an experience so I'll let that slide.

But the service... awful. Dinner for 2 took almost 2.5 hours. The delay between a drink order and then seeing our server again was 30 minutes! And that was typical for the whole meal.

This was the Seattle location, by the way. I heard the Tacoma one is better.

• Pros: Food is good
• Cons: Overpriced and poor service
