Our Fall Menu is here!

Celebrate the season with a delicious 3-course fondue experience crafted with cozy, craveable flavors:

🫕 Cranberry Pecan Cheese Fondue
Dive into a warm, creamy blend of Butterkäse and Fontina cheeses infused with crisp apple c***r, then topped with smoky cherrywood ham, tart dried cranberries, buttery candied pecans, and fresh scallions. It’s the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and smoky in every dip.

🥗 Apple Almond Salad
Fresh spring greens are tossed with apple slices, crunchy honey-roasted almonds, creamy Gorgonzola crumbles, and a deliciously tangy apple mustard vinaigrette for a light and refreshing bite.

🍫 Pumpkin Spice White Chocolate Fondue
Indulge in silky-smooth white chocolate fondue layered with spiced pumpkin purée, drizzled with pumpkin-spiced caramel, and finished with an autumn graham cracker crunch and fluffy whipped topping.

🍸 Fall Harvest Cocktail
A bright and refreshing blend of Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc, apple c***r, Barrow’s Intense Ginger Liqueur, and elderflower liqueur. Crisp, lightly spiced, and bursting with seasonal flavor.

🍷 Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc
From New Zealand’s celebrated w**e region, this vibrant Sauvignon Blanc leads with notes of grapefruit, green apple, and passion fruit, balanced by a crisp, clean finish that shines alongside the savory and fresh flavors of fall.

Want even more? Upgrade to a 4-course experience by adding any of our core entrées for an additional charge.

Come savor the flavors of fall!
