    The service was amazing. They were so nice to us we felt so welcome. We had calamari which was good. The lamb chops with five spice were outstanding. Unfortunately the risotto with scallops was not good. The scallops were ok but could not eat the rice it was very salty and not creamy but sort of dry. But overall we had a very nice evening.

    Our experience was excellent as usual. Some slight delay on drinks, but we arrived just as the restaurant was getting crowded. The server more than made it up to us. Eparnay remains our go-to restaurant for special occasions.

    Celebrated a high school graduation with the Fondue Feast Experience and had a wonderful time! The menu options were very flexible, everything tasted delicious, and we especially loved the mushroom cheese fondue. Attentive service and a satisfying meal — we can’t wait to come back again!
