TammyinTN Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The kids gave us a gift card for $100. We have never been and are going on Saturday. If you go...what's your favorite item and what do we need to know. Thank you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Favorite item is the artichoke fondue! What to know? If you do the whole dinner (cheese course, salad, meat, dessert) then plan on being there a couple of hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We went to one (I forget where) and got the traditional Swiss cheese fondue, followed by a chocolate fondue. The cheese fondue was OK (DH makes better) and the chocolate was good. It was good, not too much, nice ambience. Oh and they have a teacher's discount that they gave me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOchristie Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yum! My favorite is the Pacific Rim cooked in the Mojo broth. I love lime, and it has hint of lime. I like the Wisconsin Trio for cheese because I love bleu cheese, but dh does not, so we usually try the signature cheese they are offering. You can't go wrong with any chocolate :).

Lara in Colo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I like the chocolate with chambord added :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingmama Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You cook your own meat. We did not like this so we only go for cheese and dessert. Ymmv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We like getting the Big night out special. We tend to get whatever the featured special flavors are (unless they have blue/gargonzola cheese because we hate those flavors) but they will let you sub out any component you don't like (for instance if you don't like the salad you can pick a different kind). I think our favorite part in the main entree though because we love all the different dipping sauces that come with the meats. We do like the upgraded broth (we never done the cooking in oil) for the extra flavor it adds. The chocolate is actually my least favorite part. The chocolate itself is very good but the dippers (other than the fresh fruit) taste very cheap/processed to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubix Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 One of our favorites for a girls night, which is cheaper. DH isn't a huge fan, so I go with girl friends. For $100, you should be able to do the 4 course dinner for 2, which is cheese, salad, entrée, and chocolate. They will walk you through the menu and help you choose if you haven't been there before! Lots of substitutions are available, for example, we often switch out the dark chocolate in some of the desserts for milk chocolate. The Caesar salad is really good with the garlic and wine seasoning on it. The California salad is good too, it has strawberries, and gorgonzola cheese if you like that. It's yummy! The meats and vegetables come with a variety of sauces to try. We like the green goddess and the ginger plum(kind of like sweet & sour). There is also curry, a spicy cocktail sauce, and more. Enjoy! Ooh, I forgot favorites: Cheese - the Cheddar or Spinach Artichoke. Entrée - we get whatever comes with the girls night with the Bouillon or Coq Au Vin cooking style...Salad - Caesar, Chocolate - probably the Yin/Yang which is half white chocolate and half dark chocolate (but we get it with milk chocolate instead).

Anne in CA Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 They have a very nice flight of wines chosen to accompany the Big Night Out if you drink wine. Yummo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Pace yourself. You don't want to be full before dessert. It's easy to fill up on the cheese fondue alone. I lke the beer-cheddar. Your best odds of actually finishing is to pick two courses. The meat takes effort and timing, so I skip that most often. Three is good if you are really hungry that day and ignore half the veggies.

FriedClams Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We do cheese fondue appetizer, salad, and dessert. If we eat the entrée we're too stuffed for dessert. And it's a ton cheaper. The salad with Gorgonzola is awesome!! I agree on the cheddar ap. yum!! We love it so much we bought a fondue pot and do it at home. Maybe this weekend!!! Thanks for the reminder!!

Ann.without.an.e Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Man, what an awesome date night. I love it because it takes a long time and you aren't rushed out the door. Have fun and enjoy! :drool5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Haven't been there in years, but we always loved the chocolate fondue for dessert. :) As for main course, I seem to remember going for a traditional cheese fondue and salad.

mmeblue Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 My favorite part is the cheddar cheese fondue! DH and I have a gift card as well, and ILs said that we could figure out some night in February for them to watch the kids so we can go out. Now I'm craving it, lol!

QueenCat Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Had to come back and tell you that you have me craving the Melting Pot right now........... the appetizer course of cheese fondue is my favorite...... I do like the main entree course of meats and seafood but the dessert comes in second after the cheese starter........... Now I want some.........

Rachel Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 If you are celebrating an anniversary or birthday let them know ahead of time. We got a more private booth and they had a couple complimentary things for us and a special certificate. It's been a couple years now so the details are hazy but it was a really fun date night.
