| - I tussled with the three stars for a moment and ultimately had to stick to my guns.
First the allure of fondue is amazing and apparently the multiple times I've visited in the past, I was over served because I did not remember this location to be so run down. The awatukee location has been around a while and it shows. If your lucky enough to get one of those little Nooks tucked away behind the velvet ropes, enjoy; the view from general admission is ehh at best.
Ultimately I have no "complaints" about the food just turns out boiled filet mignon is not my cup of tea, weird huh? In the future I will strictly melting potting for cheese and chocolate fondues. Begging and end of my meal hit all marks, middle not so much.
Beer cheese fondue was prime, I also got the remainder of my beer to drink while I watched the cheese boil, yuuum! However the salad was wack, to say the least, if I in fact did pay the suggested $7 on the menu I would throw my plate through that pretty velvet curtain any day. Presentation was purely pathetic a salad made up of croutons, limp iceberg and cheese and a poor excuse for a boiled egg was really just offending.
The middle, the meat and boiling part. Presentation is done well however a few key elements raised red flags. A- boiling prime cuts of beef, I should have been stoned to death at first thought of such a notion. B- the stew or brew that arrives is delivered in this pressure cooking contraption by one person, cool enough right? But it's all packed up by another person in exactly the same manor it arrived. In my lost potato retrieval efforts I noticed that the bottom of the pot was somewhat burnt or crunchy for lack of better terms, are these pots generally reused? Is my pot of boiling stew someone else's? It just struck me as odd that the bottom of the pot was not smooth as I would expect a clean pot to be. Oh well.
Finished is by far the greatest. Chocolate and dipping goodies, there literally is no wrong in the world after that! Highly recommended.
Bottom line is that I will likely only be back for appetizers or dessert.
However, gleaming quality was the cocktails. By far one of the best Moscow mules I have ever had. So much so I made sure to have two, so refreshing and tasty.
Final TIP: ladies, keep your hair up, our out or whatever, may hair and clothes smelled of what resembled chicken noodle soup till I showered and though I am not a dirty person or overly OCD about grooming; the thought or pure inconvenience of showering ( and washing your hair) before and after a $150 meal is just annoying and little gross.
Three stars for pure demand I shower immediately to rid my body of boiled meat smell before I could climb into bed, experience 100% altered by the smell effect.
