    Came for dinner for my birthday and the place is locked up tight. No one answers the phones and the website claims it's open. The neighbors say they aren't often open in the evenings. Not very professional.

    Dry potatoes

    Took my mother and grandmother here a few weeks ago. We wanted to go early just to beat the dinner crowd. I hate to say we had a bad experience. We were the only table there and it still took a while to get food and the check. The potatoes were dry and stale as if they were cooked the day before. The sausage was dry as well. When we asked for a take home box to be polite, they couldn't find any container. Wished it was better but unfortunately not.

    One portion of raclette!

    I'm a huge fan of this cute little fondue spot on Whitney Ave! Between 5 and 7 they have happy hour - $6 portions of raclette and $6 wine. We also got the fondue with shallots which was more flavorful than I expected - it was delicious! The place itself is adorable - a classic wooden chalet with only 7 or 8 tables and a really intimate, candle lit setting!

    I took my daughter out to dinner tonight. We ordered one of their grilled cheese sandwiches. We liked it very much. The great thing was we were able to park at my daughter school and walk over. It was a lot of cheese for us. I am hoping that I feel good tomorrow. i want to mention that we were the only patrons in the restaurant the entire time we were there.

    This is a great date spot. I would give this 4 1/2 stars but since I can't pick a half star, will round up to five because generally has been a great experience each time. The place is beautifully decorated and has very nice management. It has a very authentic Swiss feel (we actually went to Switzerland recently and tried fondue there and it was a very similar experience.) The cheese fondue is absolutely amazing. We also can't resist getting the single portion of raclette (which is hot melted cheese scraped onto something-- we did potatoes and bread). If they had chocolate fondue we'd probably be here every week!

    So pretty

    YES! Adil has done it again! What an awesome spot to have as a part of our community. I almost don't want to write a review, because people don't seem to have discovered Au Chalet yet, but I can't help it. It's so damn good. You'll have a choice between a small variety of dishes. Trust me-- you're not here for variety. You're here for a tried and true methodology for delivering cheese to your belly in the most delicious possible way. You can choose between a cheese fondue pot, or raclette style fondue. Raclette is the specialty. It's a type of Swiss cheese and they slice a wheel of it in half, warm the cut side, and scrape the melty part of the cheese into your plate in one big gooey blop. Mmmmmmmmmmm. The food is incredible and the service is excellent. The ambiance is that of a cozy alpine chalet. I can't wait to come here in the winter (but have no qualms about coming in the peak of summer, to be clear!) As with the creperie next door, you're here to enjoy. This is not a quick stop, and you won't be rushed by the waitstaff at all. I work one block away from here and... oh man. I'm going to get so fat.

    Great, intimate date spot (warm wooden interior that feels like a mini ski lodge), yet somewhat overpriced in our opinion. Between a 3 and a 4, but giving it a 4 for originality in NHV and potential. The food was very nice but didn't absolutely blow us away--the bratwurst platter=nicely cooked potatoes, a bratwurst, a couple gherkins, and a mini onion, with a standard warm raclette over the top. Wine didn't leave me with a good impression. Worth checking out for an awesome happy hour deal or for a romantic date.

    Fondue!

    Swiss-inspired cheese restaurant that opened in May 2017. Cozy interior reminiscent of a Swiss ski lodge. Nice wine pairings (mostly French and Austrian), tasty fondue and raclette, elegant European music. Right next door to Crepes Choupette (operated by the same owner).

    Yay!

My friends and I have been many times and always know what we want to order, but the staff is very helpful with answering any questions we may have. I love that you can mix and match courses and do whatever it is you're in the mood for whenever you go. We love to celebrate our birthdays there, and Danny and Supy and the staff made it extra special this time with a sparkler in the dessert! Truly one of our favorite places to go. Cannot recommend it enough, especially for special celebrations.

We decided that the whole shebang was going to be way too much food so we went with the cheese to start. It was good! Not something that I could eat every week but a couple times a year would be ok! I also had a lemon lavender drink, I loved it and could for sure drink one or more of those every week! I think we might have been taking too much time with the cheese because someone came over to us twice to ask if we were all done. Nope, still working on it lol! We also got the chocolate that came with things to dip in. I liked the fruit and the pound cake but the others were overkill for me. We couldn't finish the chocolate, It was really good though and I wished I could have taken it home for another day but I dont think it works that way! The only downside was that it was hellishly hot in there. Very uncomfortable! Other than that, I had fun.

It was quite steep, but since other local restaurants were booked, we decided to keep our reservation. I had been eager to return after several years, remembering previous excellent experiences. Because it was the Valentine's Day menu, it wasn't representative of their usual offerings. I missed the unique dishes they normally feature, but overall, it was still a pleasant evening. I had hoped to try their Arctic Char, but ended up with the salmon from the special menu. We started with an amuse-bouche of deviled eggs, which were fine. The ricotta appetizer was outstanding, with bright hints of lemon zest and balsamic, while the zucchini and carrots were less memorable. The salmon was enjoyable, though not my favorite dish, and I heard the steak was well-prepared. For dessert, the pistachio cake was tasty, though slightly dry, and was served with a pistachio and chocolate gelato. Overall, it was a decent experience, but quite pricey for the quality. I'm giving Zinc a 4-star rating, taking into account my past visits, which were quite good.
