text: This unassuming little resteraunt has great atmosphere and may be a good place to entertain a medium sized group of friends or business associates The interior is constructed to resemble a small cottage one might find in an alpine village with it is warm wooden beams posts and plaster walls A fireplace build out from one of these walls helps to light the place as well as keep the guests nice and toasty warmnnThe menu consists of traditional GermanAustrian dishes as well as a few entrees that may appeal to the less adventurous types For small groups there is also a host of Fondue choices The Fondue can be ordered by the pot or in combinations with cheese meat and chocolate pots served respectivelynnMy wife and I ordered the Geneva combo which featured a swiss cheese with bread fondue followed by a beef fondue served with a variety of sauces If you like your cheese sharp you will love the cheese fondue The beef fondue was everything I expected and although the sauces were a little bland for my tastes there was enough variety to keep me interestednnWe finished up with a chocolate fondue which I should have ordered in the Geneva Delux combo because they charged me full price and did not offer to upgrade the combo for me The chocolate was a tastey dutch process chocolate melted over a low flame and served with a variety of fruits Although they usually have bananas they were out of them at the time but the melons grapes and pinapple were all good and did not overpower the chocolate at all I would have liked to see a strawberry or two but I am not sure if this was simply an omission on their part or the fact that strawberries were way out of season at the timennOverall the Alpenhaus resteraunt is a good place to eat but do not expect to walk out the door with anything less than a bill especially if you have ordered any dessert or wine This is also a place where you should know what you want before you sit down or you may find yourself caught between the constant pesterings of an untasked wait staff that are not prone to offering suggestions for first time customers
