Excellent fondue place for special occasions; as a severe celiac, I've never gotten contaminated here. Great substitutions for gf, nice variety of options, knowledgeable and understanding staff.
We have eaten here for special occassions with my very sensitive, celiac brother for the last five years or so and he has never been contaminated. The kitchen is very knowledgable about gf, however sometimes the servers bring out the sauce tray with the one not-gf sauce (the teriyaki). They will bring a fresh tray once asked, and we have never had an issue. Very fun experience to be able to enjoy gf fondue! Almost everything is gluten-free, even the chocolate fondue comes with items such as gf brownies and cookies.
Stated multiple times that we need to be gluten free for celiac. Waitress recommended food that wasn’t gluten free which was a red flag. Meat comes out and non-gluten free sauces are on the tray. We left at that point but sick from the cheese and gluten free dippers. They supposedly have the gluten intolerance certification but the training doesn’t seem to go to the entire staff so beware of cross contamination.

Went with my family to celebrate an anniversary - excellent meal !!! We had a broth fondue & the chocolate fondue.
As you all dip in the same pot, everyone would have to pick GF choices but that is easy to do ! Staff was knowledgeable and menu was well marked with what was GF.
Great evening - would go again ! FWIW, the cheese fondues can be GF as well.
We love this place. The staff is extremely accommodating and generous gluten free options during all courses.
Their GF menu is awesome. The dessert is the best I've had anywhere
Very expensive but so good. It's not just a meal, it's an experience. Staff is helpful and much of the menu os GF.

They advertise having safe gluten free foods, but I have gotten sick here. Be super careful!!
my experience here was wonderful! I came for KC restaurant week, and that entailed a four course meal. Everything was marked GF on the menu accordingly, and the staff took extra precautions for cross contamination. The first was cheese and vegetables, and they have GF bread available. The second course was salads, again with GF options; the third was meats and our waiter was very knowledgeable about which sauces were and were not GF (avoid the teriyaki steak / teriyaki sauce) and swapped out the gluten options for extra gluten free items.
the dessert fondue options were EXTENSIVE - fruit (obviously), GF brownies, GF snickerdoodles, banana/date bites - sooo good and SO MUCH FOOD.
our waiter was amazing, it was a fun first-time experience, and I did not get sick!
Had a rough experience to begin with here and not sure why. They have also changed their hours so best to call ahead. Was really looking forward to this eating here but after making our order to my surprise it came out with regular bread for the cheese fondue. Although the rest of the meal was fine and they came back out with gf bread (probably Udi’s not sure) I felt it was unsafe! Next they came out with the main course and the sauces and that was sent back because they included teriyaki not gf! There are very few things on the menu that are gf! My daughter who lives in another state tried it too and it was bad news for her too! If you eat here be prepared! Our servers were nice and not sure what happened but will have second thoughts about eating here again unfortunately because I have some very fond memories
I had a fantastic experience here! My waiter Blake was so amazing, and they provided me with gluten free bread, brownies, and cookies. Everything on the menu is marked. I have not been here in years, and I will definitely be coming back soon!!
The melting pot is fabulous! I don't understand why it appears unsafe. I explain eat time that I have celiac, and I'm always brought gluten free bread, and gluten free desserts.
