I had heard mixed reviews but I enjoyed it. It reminds me of hotpot in China, but just a little more expensive. It's a very social experience, so definitely go with people you wouldn't mind sharing with.
The restaurant is steamy due to all the fondue pots, be prepared for foggy glasses initially. The lighting is dim and perfect for a romantic night out. The hot plates are built into the table and your server will explain what you can and cannot touch.
My friend and I came for a special they were having called $30 on the 30th. We needed a reservation. It was a 4-course meal.
We started with the fiesta cheese fondue. It was beer, cheddar cheese, and salsa. We received pieces of bread, soft pretzel, nacho chips, green apples, celery, and broccoli to dip.
Next we got a strawberry pecan salad. This was one of the best salads I've had in awhile. It has a strawberry vinegarette, with strawberries, candied pecans, I believe blue cheese, and all over mixed green lettuce. I don't even like pecans, but they were so good. They provided a great crunch and flavor profile.
For the third course we had our meet entree. We chose the seasoned court bouillon and received pieces of brasa seasoned chicken, teriyaki sirloin, Pacific white shrimp, filet mignon, and a mix of red potatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms. We put the veggies in first because they would take the longest and then the meats ranged in cook time from 1 to 3 minutes in the broth. The broth was light and didn't overpower the meat flavors. We also got six dipping sauces.
For the dessert course, we chose the Smores fondue. It of course had chocolate and melted marshmallow but then topped with a shot of 151 and then lit on fire to burn off the alcohol. There were also gram cracker pieces. For dipping, we got blondes, brownies, pound cake, gram crackers, and marshmallows covered in cookie pieces. It was a perfect way to finish off the meal. The brownies were my favorite. They were dense and moist. Delicious!
My server gave great service. She was attentive and personal. She explained each course very well and constantly refilled our drinks. Despite having a late reservation and basically closing the place down, she didn't make us feel rushed. Her name escapes me but I'll update the review once I find my receipt.
All in all, the $30 was well worth it. I left feeling stuffed. My friend and I had a great time. I was skeptical about paying a lot of fondue but it was worth it. Checkout their website because they seem to have deals regularly, including a late night special that starts and 9 pm.
