I just can't see what the fuss is about with regard to this place. It
took over 2.5 hours to get a seat the time that I took my wife there
(we saw a movie while waiting) and I have only one word there for the
food:

BLAND.

Yes, eating/playing with melted cheese is a lot of fun, but it got to
be a chore to actually finish it (and we LIKE to eat). And this turned
out to be the best part of the meal.

Cooking the meats and vegetables in the broth resulted in uniformly
flavorless morsels that were only nominally enhanced with the provided
sauces. Don't forget that most meat is actually quite tasteless and needs
something added in order to flavor it.  Perhaps if we had smuggled in
some Tabasco or some chile paste with garlic it would have been better.

We did not have dessert.

The atmosphere is nice -- very private, isolated booths.
