Really nice steakhouse. Didn't expect much but was blown away and very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the mean, especially the lobster bisque and the prime rib. One of the best prime ribs I've ever tasted. Came as a group, and service was impeccable.

Great food and love the look of the place. I guess my experience was ruined when the waitress tried to over charge my credit card and didn't expect me to notice. I have seen this scam before by bartenders but it's a first time I seen a waitress try it. It's not a good way to do business.

I very rarely give restaurants such a low rating, but this place really is just the perfect storm of overpriced shtick and terrible food that one lonely star is truly all it deserves. The server was sure to explain to us before we ordered that "The Little Dipper is all about the experience - to leisurely enjoy time with your friends". Well we found out that this was her polite way of informing us that the wait time would be unbearable (we were there for 2 hours and 50 minutes - and not by our own choice) and that the food would be borderline inedible. Nothing was seasoned properly. The portions were tiny. There wasn't nearly enough of anything to go around. I am not exaggerating at ALL when I tell you that what you get is a hot pot of oil and unseasoned raw pieces of meat and vegetables to dip into it. That is truly all this place is. It was actually pretty revolting - after a few bites of oil-soaked chicken breast and raw carrot, none of the three of us wanted to continue. We actually discussed going somewhere else afterward because we were all starving, but because our "unique experience" took so unbelievably long we had missed that opportunity. I went home and warmed up some days-old casserole, and it was the most gloriously delicious thing to eat after the disappointment of the Little Dipper. Never again.

Food is excellent with more options than the melting pot. High ceilings make for a noisy room and it's difficult to have a conversation. Ladies night is a great value. More funky than romantic.

Interesting place, normally my food is brought to me already cooked but not here, cook it yourself. Loved the cheese dip. We had a group of 7, salad, cheese dips x2, and meats and seafood x2 for $372 w/tip. Glad we came it was an interactive experience.
