    perfect fondue, as the moite-moite. the service was fantastic and the interior was classic swiss, which is just right when visiting this area :-)

    It took at least half an hour for any worker to visit our area of the restaurant, despite having booked a table well in advance. It was pleasant to sit out in the garden area, but it took a very long time to get our food even after the long wait for a menu and to order. The wrong drinks were brought to us, but the staff fixed that problem after we told them. There was a fondue lamp that we wanted to turn out, but we and the staff weren't able to turn it off, so they brought it back to their kitchen and returned it (and the uneaten food) to us. A very large pile of dishes was sitting on a table just inside the door, so I assume they were very understaffed. I would go again, but maybe not during busy tourist season.

    This is one of several restaurants inside the marvellous village of Gruyeres. I have been to 5 other in this street. The food is good: the fondue was great, the chicken nuggets (children) were great, the raclette was average. The ambiance is nice. The service is very slow probably because it is understaffed probably on week ends. It is generally slow in Switzerland but that was worse.

    Great food but terrible, terrible, terrible service. We waited long time, waitress was completely lost. She didn’t know what ingredients are in ordered dishes, then it took some time to explain that we want the whole bottle of wine, not glass. I didn’t get extra ordered egg on my rosti, so she went back to kitchen and brought an egg on separate plate(???). Plate was damaged, and ceramic parts of the plate were in my egg. After complaining to waitress she just said short “sorry”. Nothing else, no any offer to take out this egg from the bill or similar. Restaurant was full, very hot and very noisy. Overall- food quality is superb but everything else, especially service, is terrible. Price - we payed 370chf for 6 persons lunch. We are not coming back to this place. Avoid.

    The restaurant did not honor the reservation, abruptly telling us that online reservations could not be made so close to the lunch hour. Luckily, Auberge de la Halle was more than accommodating. They were warm and friendly. Excellent service and excellent food!

    The lady who mostly served us was very nervous and it seemed that we were annoying her. She asked us why we ordered just 2 main dish and 1 salad as we are 2 adults and 2 children. It was not polite as we were not very hungry, just wanted to try famous gryuer fondue.

    Beautiful restaurant. Service was average and they charge for extra plate for sharing and tap water. Food was fine, but would try another one in the same area next time.

    Excellent Food but despite the social distancing we were stuck in a corner. Relation Price and Quality is very good. not as expensive as some other similar restaurant on the site.
