Urban Fondue

We went here for a birthday dinner and weren’t disappointed. We had the brie/gorgonzola cheese fondue topped with roasted hazelnuts, and a “Black Forest” dessert fondue with cherries. Both were pretty inspired creations (the hazelnuts were an especially nice touch). We came on a busy Saturday night. The noise level was moderate-to-high, but still allowing conversation.

It took about 10 minutes for them to get our order, which to me is well within reason for a busy night, but they apologized repeatedly for it and even let us have a side and dessert on the house. The service was overall super-friendly and helpful. They recommended we try the “fondue experience” which is a combination of a cheese fondue with one of their regular entrees, followed by dessert.

Unfortunately the vegetarian options among the entrees are a bit limited. If you end up doing what we did and skipping the entree, it’s safe to order one pot of fondue per person as the amount of cheese isn’t huge (though bread was in ample supply!). Overall I prefer this place to Melting Pot and am looking forward to trying more of their fondue creations.

(Update 4/29/2017) Second visit, ordered the Tillamook White Cheddar/Caraway and the Smoked Cheddar fondue, as well as a house salad and some sides. Very busy Saturday night and the timing was a bit off — we got the fondue well before we got all the dipping fruits/vegetables. The salad was meh, but the fondues were delicious.
