"We were there very early so the place was not packed, but it was already getting busy for an early dinner bunch by 6:00. I can see where this would be a great place for young people for an after movie/theater place to have a great chocolate fondue dessert and some excellent wine while they discuss their evening."

"Had the cheese and chocolate fondue. The cheese was so watery that none of it would stick to the items dipped into it. I had to use the bread as a sponge to absorbe as much cheese as possible. The quality of the fondue was also the worst I have ever had. Tasted like watered down cheese sauce rather than fondue.
The chocolate was better although I think it was just Hersey syrup that had been heated.
Sevice was pretty poor. After the initial order and serving, it took a very long time to locate our server to bring the next course. After about 20 minutes she finally came by and brought dessert. After dessert, it took about another 10 minutes to flag down our server and get the check.
Would not recommend for the fondue experie"

"We went to Winegasm after buying a groupon for cheese & chocolate fondue, a meat plate, 2 glasses of wine, & glasses of sparkling wine. The cheese was good, if a little salty. My one suggestion would be to eliminate the 50 cent charge for additional cheese dippers. The dippers are just bread and apples, and I understand that the restaurant doesn't want people taking advantage of free refills, but what is provided on the plate isn't quite enough to get all the way through the fondue provided. Other than that VERY minor criticism, the food was very good, the wine was very good, and the staff was very friendly. Overall, maybe not a place I would go regularly for dinner, but definitely for a glass of wine and a snack."

"We went on a groupon Saturday night and when we first sat down the waitress came over and took our orders for wine. She then came back with 2 platters (one of meats and the other with cubed apples and bread). No sooner did I, by accident tipped my glass over and wine went all over the meat platter. It was still full because we didn't even start eating it yet and she didn't even offer to replace it. Then I had to ask her for another glass of wine. When we received our bill she charged us for the extra glass of wine. No restaurant does that. I was very surprised."

"Used a groupon for the fondue. It was delicious! We had wonderful service and the ladies working were very nice and answered all our questions. The food came out of the kitchen quickly and was very good. Great experience and will be back!"

"The place is small, but it is very nice, and the service is excellent. The food is fresh and delicious. There was a special on a wine bottle which I shared with my sister. The place got crowded towards the end so we decided to skip dessert as the kitchen was pretty backed up. I will be returning to try more of their menu. There is much more of a wine selection than food, but while the menu is small the food itself is great."

"Brought my GF there for Valentines Day. She requested a fondue dinner. However, we ended up ordering Mac n Cheese, Steak Crostini. THe menus wasn't a very typical valentines day selection, nor was the ambiance very romantic. We then had chocolate fondue for desert.
With that said everything we had was delicious, just not really the type of selections that we had expected.
A good place for an after work glass of wine to end the day. Not a great date night place."

"My girlfriend loves wine and mediterranean food - this place was an amazing find. Yup, the name captured my eye, but the reviews and website defeinitely made me want to take her there for Valentines day. We both have late schedules so it's good to know this place is open late even on weekdays. The staff was very courteous and caring to our experience. The food - amazing! I loved the bacon wrapped prunes~ It was a romantic vibe for the two of us, and i could see how it could be a great group dinner. I definitely recommend this place to anyone~"
