Fondue Chalet Williamsburg At Diviera Drive

The chalet area was closed and not available, so we only had access to the fondue menu at the Diviera Drive restaurant, which felt a little cramped. We ordered the truffle fondue and a salad, and both were excellent, just like the service!

We were looking forward to dining in the chalet, a vibrant and appealing addition to the restaurant that transports you to the Swiss Alps. Unfortunately, it was not accessible during our visit as it was being used to store equipment for the band scheduled to play later. We only learned about this change upon arrival, rather than being informed during our booking or through any announcement. The chalet was a significant reason we chose this place, so it was disappointing! Instead, we were seated in the greenhouse, another charming feature of the restaurant, but right next to a rather drafty door. Despite that, the food was excellent, the bread was abundant, and overall, it wasn't a terrible experience. I just wish we had known that the chalet was being used as a storage room for the band. We do plan to come back, but next time I'll make sure to check if we can dine in that lovely space!

I had the white truffle fondue, and it was extremely bland. I would not recommend it. However, the chocolate fondue was delightful. Overall, the food was overpriced for the quality. The ambiance was great, and the service was good.

Fondue is always great and everything. but ai would like to have met the normal area for fondue, the chalet was closed before ai actually arrived there. it ruined my surprise to my friend :

The fondue is about 24 dollars a person. The pot is a decent size but the fondue constantly solidified even as we turned up the heat. Actual cheese is good given with foccacia and some vegetables, apples, and grapes. My boyfriend also ordered the meat plate but it was so salty he barely touched it. The apples, grapes, and pickles were good with the cheese along with the bread, but most of the vegetables like the carrots and celery were an unimpressive pairing. There is a nice outdoor area with heat lamps but sadly it is only for bar service. Indoors it was pretty cramped and loud, and tables were close enough to us that a child almost grabbed our candle off our table. There were quite a few children there so I assume it is good for families. Flowers on the table and quick service. If you come I'd recommend walking down to East River Park on the waterfront before 9 pm for great views of Manhattan.
