I’ve been here for both of their Ladies’ Night (Wednesdays) and Date Night (Thursdays) specials and I’ve never been disappointed. The four stars instead of five has to do with our seating placement after having specifically indicated that we were celebrating a special occasion. The Date Night menu offers a generous wine/beer pairing with each course. We got the Tuscan cheese fondue, the port wine and beef broth entree (which came with a selection of various meats), and the turtle dark chocolate fondue. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with his suggestions based on our tastes. Definitely recommend Little Dipper for both fun group meals or intimate dates.

Always a great time when we go to The Little Dipper; forces us to slow down and and enjoy the time/meal we're sharing with others. Our server Nick was amazing. Can't wait until next time.

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.

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.

My wife and I love this place. Think Melting Pot but better...and that is hard to do.
