Although the broth was a little weak, the cheese was plentiful (as you can see).  It was a combination of jarlsberg and mozzerella.  The jarlsberg was great, and the mozzerella added texture, but it wasn’t as good as the jarlsberg and gruyere at Mon Ami Gabi.

This is an interesting place, as it used to be owned by a French family, but was taken over by a family from Taiwan.  They kept the strictly French menu, including the F.O.S.  They use a high quality swiss cheese, but the broth is rather bland.  Seems like a white wine base, with no sherry and an inadequate caramelization process.  Overall, it was enjoyable.

Cheap swiss and bland broth makes this one useful only in case of emergency.  Located at the Poplar Creek Golf Course.

Great broth and excellent combination of gruyere and parmesan cheese.  A bit heavy on the parmesan.  Well-presented in a square bowl, but no cheese over the side, which I know people often rely upon.
