they are serving "Pacific Islands Big Night out" for a limited time only.. it comes with 4 courses.. we picked the one which is $84 per couple..

First Course.. Wisconsin Trio Cheese Fondue

Second Course..

Caesar Salad
..Crisp romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, shredded Parmesan cheese, crispy croutons & an added touch of Parmesan encrusted pine nuts

Spinach Mushroom Salad

..Fresh spinach, baby portobello mushrooms, red onion, chopped bacon & Roma tomatoes with a warm Burgundy Shallot Vinaigrette

Third Course.. Fondue Fusion Entrée with Mojo Cooking Style

..the server gave us this Garlie & Wine seasoning which he said is good for meat & veggies..

Mojo Cooking Style: Caribbean-seasoned bouillon with distinctive flavors of fresh garlic with a citrus flair!

..this cooking style is a bit too salty.. should try Coq au Vin next time..

..with Loster Tail, Sesame Crusted Teriyaki Sirloin, Citrus Infused Pork Tenderloin, Sushi-Grade Ahi Tuna, Garlic Chili Chicken Breast, Kiwi Lime Shrimp, Spring Vegetable Dumplings, & Fresh Vegetables

..food are fresh.. the serve gave us the instructions re cooking time for each item..

Fourth Course.. Passion Fruit Yin & Yang Fondue

..Signature decadent dark chocolate swirled together with passion fruit infused white chocolate

..i like the Passion Fruit infused White Chocolate Fondue as it's less sweet & has a strong Passion Fruit flavor.. which goes very well with all the dippers..
