We had a wonderful night. I can’t tell what was more delightful, the cheese fondue or our server Rob. Rob was incredibly informative and explained not only the different kinds of fondue available but was knowledgeable about the wine list also. He stopped by many times to check on us and make sure the cheese was cooking like it should.
We never thought that pickles or apples would go with cheese but we were very wrong, it was delightful. And that sausage was incredible! It was really the highlight of the meal. The bread was originally a little hard for my liking but we just let it sit in the fondue for a couple minutes and softened it to our liking. If you’re very hungry make sure to order more than one course.
Overall the experience was perfect, it was such a fun way to eat a meal! We would recommend this to anyone!
Fon-dos (pros):The cheese fondue is the highlight of the dinner. The sipping chocolate was also very tasty. The staff were very clear about the experience and the resort is a quaint locations. Cocktails were nice but nothing to write home about. There was live music in the lobby, playing a rendition of Hallelujah. The decor is dated skiing chic. The resort has lovely outdoor fires by the lake. Be ware the polar bear.
Fon-don’ts (cons): They haven’t quite figured this out yet. Large lag time between courses. One of the meats for the bouillon fondue was still a frozen block when it came out. A bit of a bouillon blunder. The explanation of meats and dips was limited to the only what was already on the limited menu and staff didn’t know what was vegetarian, specifically what type of bouillon they use. Water glasses were too short and constantly empty. Don’t come if you are starving. Cost higher than quality and quantity. Still had fun but wouldn’t go again.
We had a lovely fondue dinner. We haven’t done this in years but what a great delight to find this on the North Shore! Rob mixes a great Cosmo! We tried all 3 fondues and they were each delicious. The staff was very attentive and made sure we had a great experience!
