Melting Cheese Fondue
Dennis T.

It had been eight years since we were last here but the experience was just as good as the last encounter: both five-star quality. Our server, Gita L., took great care of us and was very responsive to our needs and requests. We opened with a course of Cheese Fondue that resulted in melting a Cheddar Cheese and Swiss Cheese Blend with garlic and a small amount of Worcestershire Sauce on our table burner, and then dipping pieces of bread and tortilla chips into the hot and tasty mixture. Our entree consisted of two Petite Filets cooked medium rare in our fondue pot with Coq Au Vin Sauce containing beef broth, along with one Lobster Tail, all augmented by chunks of Red Potatoes, Button Mushrooms, Garlic Wine Mushrooms, Carrots, Broccoli and Cauliflower. The trimmed hunks of beef tasted even better topped by Merlot Butter and dunked in Chimichurri Sauce. We ended with a third round of fondue, during which we melted Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate Fondue to be applied to an array of skewers brandishing provided slices of Granny Smith Apples, fresh strawberries, bananas, pretzels, marshmallows, Rice Crispy treats, pound cake, and brownies. We walked out full and happy.

Where's The Cheese
Tom P.

Wish I would've read the reviews first. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because our server was awesome. If a restaurant has "Fondue" in the name, it should be a five-star experience. I was expecting more "WoW" The bread and chips were honestly the highlight. We didn't even touch the vegetables because there wasn't enough cheese to go around. You'd think they would've brought more cheese, but the bowl wasn't even half full. I was expecting a lot more from a place with fondue in the name, so this was really disappointing. My wife has always wanted to eat here, but after reading reviews afterward, it sounds like there may have been a change in ownership and unfortunately the quality seems to have gone downhill. F O N D U E Full of hype, Overpriced, Not enough cheese, Downhill experience, Underwhelming, Eh. The picture was taken before we even started eating. Ambiance I think was nice. Seems like a nice place. But we went there not for the ambiance but for the cheese:)

$9 for half of a pretzel

I recently visited a fondue restaurant for my boyfriend's birthday, hoping for a memorable evening. Despite some negative reviews about the service, I decided to give it a chance. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a mistake. I had made a reservation through OpenTable for 6:45 PM, but we ended up waiting 25 minutes before being seated. The service was disappointing from the start. Our server took our order, and then we didn't see her again. When our cheese fondue was brought out, the staff member apologized, mentioning that they usually keep the cheeses separate but had mixed them together this time. He then poured the mixture into the pot. For our main course, we ordered sirloin and lamb on the Lava Rock. The lamb was quite good, but the sirloin was very dry. The garlic mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts were tasty, but the loaded mashed potatoes were overly salty due to the bacon. We also ordered the jalapeño bacon fondue with pretzels. The menu picture showed a whole pretzel, but we received only half. Throughout the meal, we had to repeatedly ask different staff members for items that should have been provided, such as sauces, butter, knives, and plates. It was frustrating to see the table next to us receiving attentive service from our server, including having their fondue stuff separated and mixed at the table and being provided with all necessary utensils and accompaniments without having to ask. We never received an explanation of how to cook our lava rock food because the food comes out raw. Ambiance was in an older building that is double story. The bar takes up the whole downstairs with a few tables but all other seating area is upstairs. The very least was they gave us a slice of cake for the birthday celebration. We were so tired of waiting and asking for something that we didn't even wanted the dessert fondue that we originally planned on. Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially for a special occasion like a birthday dinner. I regret choosing this restaurant and do not plan to return.

Made a reservation for 6:15p on a Friday evening. Arrived at 6:00 to check-in. Had a seat at the bar to have a drink. The bartenders were super friendly and quick to bring drinks. By 6:15 our party was being seated. Our waitress was warm and bubbly. We mentioned that this was our first visit and she kindly explained exactly the menu and the difference between the rok and fondue - which we appreciated. Ordered the medallions, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. The presentation of the food was great. Getting to cook the steak on the rok was pretty fun. The medallions, the mashed taters and the asparagus were all delicious. This is a fantastic date night spot!!

I was debating on writing this review, as when the situation happened, I was having a rough day. But, I've decided it's best to shed a light on this situation than to let it go. For my graduation from nursing school, I decided to go with my family to Rok N Fondue for dinner. This is probably my 7-8 time visiting the restaurant. And while service can be slow, it's been an overall good experience thus far. The waiter sat us immediately at a table and the waiter gave us the menus. We ordered two pots of fondue, both being Rok N Cheddar. Since our table had two burners, they were heating up simultaneously. One burner however was not working properly. I notified the waiter of this and he proceeded to just add more cheese to the pot, which made it chunky and unmelted. I asked them if he could get us a new fondue or heat it on another burner, and he assured us it will "warm up." Well gasp, that didn't happen and we were left with a gloppy chunk of cheese that was borderline inedible. The other fondue was perfect though. Now for the main courses. I ordered the tiger shrimp. The menu states CLEARLY "1 pound". Well, when my waiter came back with my dish, there were FIVE SMALL SHRIMP on my plate. I immediately notified him, as this had to have been a mistake. He immediately said "let me go fix this", clearly seeing that I was being shortchanged by quite a bit. I was fine waiting, no big deal. Well, when the waiter came back, he said "actually that's one pound, I watched the guy weigh it." I then immediately told them there was no way, and he argued with me saying "well that's the way it is." I ended up actually leaving the restaurant at this point, as I was getting nowhere with the waiter. My family ended up speaking with the manager about this, and after a HUGE amount of back and forth, they refunded my meal. Unfortunately, this is how I'll remember my graduation dinner forever. The treatment I received was unacceptable, so much so that it affected me personally. I added pictures of me weighing shrimp, PLENTY MORE THAN FIVE and... big surprise!!! It's ONLY 7 OUNCES FOR ALL OF WHATS PICTURED, which is many more than 5!!! And those were the sizes that they served me. They also have the shell on and were raw, another point the waiter wanted to throw in my face to make their egregious error acceptable. Please, do not order the shrimp from this establishment. Better yet, don't go. They will be sure to short change you and treat you like you're a moron. I was appalled at the service, and will never be returning to the establishment again.

This place was super fun. We had a great time. We ordered the jalapeño cheese for our appetizer it was really good with that granny Smith, apples, and the bread. We did the lava rocks that cook your meat and we ordered the lamb and filet mignon. With potatoes and vegetables. For dessert we got the s'mores chocolate fondue with the array of fruits and marshmallows for dipping. The drinks were pretty good too. Our service was great. Our server was super friendly and nice. The place is pretty small when you walk in, but there's a whole upstairs area. But it's definitely a fun place and something different to do. Definitely recommend.

I came to this place a few years ago and was turned away due to not having a reservation. I made a reservation this time, but once I got there, half way through the day it was empty. Which was surprising. My only complaint is that I ordered a Shirley temple that had weird flakes at the bottom. So I sent it back. I was given another and the cherries tasted old. My friend and I just came for dessert. Which was a good price for what we got. The treats were good and the service was okay. We were kind of on our own upstairs which felt a little awkward but otherwise I would come back

So it's been a little bit since we have been here and I have to ask, what happened? This place is known for serving steak on a hot rock (Rok) so you can basically cook your food to your desired temp. Well, we started off great...I had made a reservation for 6:30 and they started seating us by 6:35 (nice!). We figured we had time to eat and then do some shopping in Downtown Redlands. Well, things went downhill pretty fast. The server took a while to get us started, but we just figured it was busy. We were going to all order the steak on a rock, but the server told us they could not serve the rocks due to some issues they were having. (That was the whole reason we came so- minus 2 stars!!) We were told that they would do the cooking for us and serve it on the rock so we went ahead and ordered an appetizer, salads, and the prime steak and filet medallions. The server came back and told us they were out of the prime steaks so we would have to order something different ...(minus another star). And then we waited...and waited. It took 1.5 hours to get our salads and appetizer. (Minus another star, we are at 1 star if you aren't counting). Then took another 1/2 hour to get our food. 2 hours in to get our food - ugh!! (Can't minus anymore stars) Well, when the food finally arrived, it DID taste very good, but hard to enjoy when you were hungry 2 hours ago. (But we can put back 1 star) I am usually hyping up where we eat, and maybe we just got an unusually horrible evening, so I can't speak to the normal experience. This is just my experience tonight. If there are known problems, should have called me from my reservation so I could make other plans (or at least tell me right when I arrived). Good luck if you decide to try them!

Broth and proteins

We dined here on Wednesday March 5th at 6:30pm. Service was a little slow. Female server wasn't super friendly. At times she seemed even annoyed. We were here for our daughter's birthday as she requested fondue (we usually go to Melting Pot). We decided to try this place because it was closer. I asked if they had any fun mocktails for the 11 year old birthday girl. 'No. Not really.' I hate to compare but Melting Pot has some fun drinks for the kids. We asked how the menu worked as we were used to Melting Pots which was super user friendly and easy to understand. They even provide you with suggested cooking times for items in the broth. We got zero guidance here. Tried to order sliders off the menu for my son and were told they are unable to make them because they are not able to use their stove at all due to ventilation issues and the city is no longer allowing them to use the stove. It would be helpful if you can update your menu to reflect items not available. Ordered chicken entree in place of sliders and it came out extremely thick so we had to cut it thinner so it would actually cook on the hot stone. Dessert was good. Service was so so and slow. I'd suggest getting some lively and friendly servers/bartenders. We really wanted to love this place as we frequent different restaurants in downtown Redlands but sadly it's a no-go for us.

Returning customer. Love this restaurant. Jacob was a great server. Nice guy. Food is delicious. Fondue is outstanding. Steaks are outstanding. No complaints about the food or service. Really nice atmosphere and ambience. I would come back here.

Vanilla lavender martini (super good!)
Jose O.

Just came to this spot for the first time a few days ago for some dinner out with friends. Located in downtown Redlands, the restaurant itself is small but has 2 floors for seating as well as a spacious bar. Despite not having a reservation, we were seated promptly! Up first, we ordered drinks. I ordered the lavender vanilla martini and would definitely get this drink again! It was beautifully made and tasted amazing! My only gripe was that when I got my drink, the glass was dirty and had some lip marks on the rim. I notified my server and the drink was promptly remade and the bartender came over to apologize. Our first order of fondue was the sun dried formaggio and it tasted delicious! The server mixed and prepared everything at our table and came by periodically to keep mixing to ensure that everything combined well. I was personally a fan of this with the green apple pieces. Our second order was the zesty jalapeño cheddar. While it was still great from a flavor standpoint, it didn't really come together too well and stayed a bit chunky. However, we didn't really see this as an issue since everything tasted great! For dessert, we ordered the bananas foster chocolate fondue and this was delicious! The chocolate was very rich, and the presentation was awesome! Be ready for flames lol This location is a bit pricey, but I would definitely recommend this for a special occasion or a date!

Ask the Community - Rok N Fondue

Do they serve halal or kosher meat?

Is there a vegan cheese fondue option?

Depends on your definition of vegan. if you are asking about the things that comes with the cheese fondue then yes there is as most of the accompanying items are vegan in nature (bread, veggies etc)… 

I'm a peasant, would I feel comfortable eating here?

Lol yes it's not that fancy

Is it loud in the restaurant ? Can you have a conversation?

They do have music playing in the background, but you can talk easily with it. This restaurant has a nice ambience and is ideal for a fancy date

Wanted to know if the cheese fondu price $19.99 is for 2 or per person?

Price is now $21.95. Cheese can easily be shared between two people

Is this place even still open? Website down, Facebook hasn't been updates in months.

Yes, I was there last weekend. Call to make a reservation if you're going on the weekend.

Is there an elevator to second floor? Or can you eat fondue downstairs?

They eat fondue upstairs as well. There are no elevators . There are stairs

So when is happy hour?

4:00 to 6:00 pm

I ordered the Poblano Burger, and the deep-fried poblano was SO good. Unfortunately, I ordered the patty medium and it came out overcooked. The fries were also a little undercooked, and the burger could have used more sauce. Tasty overall, just not quite hitting the mark. Then came dessert... and this is where the experience really went downhill. I ordered the crème brûlée because I've had it elsewhere and had been craving it. While waiting, I stepped away to use the restroom. When I came back, my entire table--including my drinks--had been cleared. I had literally just ordered dessert and never indicated I was finished. The server seemed confused when I questioned it, which made the whole thing even more awkward. And unfortunately, the crème brûlée itself was also a miss. The sugar topping was torched too long and had a noticeably bitter, burnt flavor. The server (and possibly a manager) apologized, and I was given $2 off the drink, which I appreciated. Between the okay food and the especially strange service and lack of communication the experience left me disappointed. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight, but for me, the service experience was enough to say I probably won't be back anytime soon.

We finished it off with their Brown Butter Cake ($10) served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I can't begin to emphasize how delicious everything was, and the service was top notch. I guess the lesson is, don't judge a book by its cover (or the parking lot). We had a delicious meal, fantastic cocktails, and excellent service. We'd most definitely return for another visit.

When we checked in, the host explained that we would potentially be sharing tables with other guests, which we had absolutely no problem with. I simply asked if we could have a regular table instead of a booth since my guest and I are bigger guys. She agreed and seated us at a table by ourselves. A couple of minutes later, the same host came over and, in front of everyone, questioned why we were sitting by ourselves and reminded us that other people would be sitting with us. It completely caught me off guard. We already understood the seating arrangement and never asked to sit alone, so the interaction felt unnecessary and honestly a little embarrassing. I asked to speak with a manager, and Dave absolutely went above and beyond. He listened to my concerns, sincerely apologized, and handled the entire situation with an incredible level of professionalism. He didn't make excuses or brush it off, he genuinely cared about making sure we felt comfortable and that the rest of our evening was enjoyable. I was extremely impressed with the way he carried himself and handled the situation. Ironically, the event never completely filled up and we ended up sitting at the table by ourselves anyway. While the initial interaction could have easily put a damper on the night, Dave completely turned the experience around. That's what great management and customer service look like. He deserves to be recognized for the way he handled everything, and he's a big reason I'm leaving this review on a positive note.

Apparently, at The Pines Modern Steakhouse, water is a limited-edition menu item…read more The food? Good. The service? An impressive demonstration of how many employees can walk directly past a table while collectively pretending the table has entered another dimension. We waited roughly 20 MINUTES FOR WATER. Water. Not a dry-aged steak. Not a soufflé. Not somebody stomping grapes in Napa and personally delivering the wine. WATER. After a while, I actually started counting how many times waiters and waitresses walked past our table while we waited for water and coffee. At that point brunch became less of a meal and more of a wildlife documentary: "Here we observe the elusive server in their natural habitat. Notice how gracefully they avoid eye contact while passing the same thirsty table for the sixth time." It would have been hilarious if we weren't actually paying for this experience. What really stood out was how completely uninterested much of the staff seemed. Nobody appeared particularly happy to be there. Nobody seemed concerned that customers were sitting around waiting for basic service. It felt like everyone was simply going through the motions: walk by, look busy, disappear, repeat. And apparently we're not the first people to encounter painfully slow service here. Other reviewers have complained about waiting excessively for servers and staff standing around while customers needed assistance. So our experience doesn't exactly sound like a once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse. I also have to address something uncomfortable. I'm Asian and was having brunch with Black friends. I'm NOT accusing anyone of racism because I cannot possibly know what was going through anyone's mind. But when employees repeatedly walk past your table while providing service elsewhere, eventually you start wondering, "Is there some reason we're invisible?" I shouldn't leave an expensive brunch wondering whether our group was being treated differently. Maybe race had absolutely nothing to do with it. I genuinely hope it didn't. But the service was poor enough to make the thought cross my mind, and that's not a feeling any restaurant should leave a customer with. The frustrating part is that THE FOOD WAS ACTUALLY GOOD. That's what makes this experience so ridiculous. You can serve excellent food, but if customers need to consider sending out a search party to locate someone willing to refill a glass, something has gone terribly wrong. A restaurant positioning itself as an upscale steakhouse shouldn't make basic hospitality feel like an optional DLC package. Beautiful restaurant. Good food. Service with all the urgency of someone waiting for their shift to end. Maybe next time I'll bring my own water bottle, coffee thermos, and a little bell. Or possibly a flare gun. At least then somebody might notice the table.

It's a perfect place for a date or a night out with friends or family. The focal point of the main dining room is the bar, which faces the restaurant's entrance. Meticulously designed with a nostalgic feel, the bar features blonde wood shelves holding hundreds of vinyl records, carefully curated design objects, and a DJ booth neatly tucked into a corner next to the bar. The beer taps are elegantly minimalist, and every detail in the bar--for example, the old-fashioned glass syrup bottles--seems planned to give a nod to history (specifically the late 19th century, when Redlands was founded). The main dining room offers plenty of comfortable seating choices, including a long bar along the center of the room. The patio is spacious and well kept. All of the spaces inside and out have music piped in from the bar. There are two restrooms just off the patio, and these are well-maintained. On busy nights, patrons can enjoy a drink in a standing bar area just off the patio. I love that the Overland provides a choice of setting depending on the kind of night you're planning. A romantic date? Get a reservation to sit inside, and it feels intimate. Just hanging out? The bar is fun as the mixologists make excellent drinks and friendly conversation. Sitting at the bar after 7 PM, you can watch the DJs spin the platters. If you have a larger group or just like to eat alfresco, the patio is perfect. The menu offers a really nice variety of drinks, including the pricier craft cocktails, more classic, moderately priced beverages, nonalcoholic drinks, and all sorts of beer and wine. The food menu is solid, with plenty of appetizers, salads, entrées, and a dessert. The real star is the tacos! These are very moderately priced at seven dollars apiece, and all three varieties are delicious! There is a potato taco, a beef taco, and pork chili Verde taco. I highly recommend these! The green salsa they provide is extremely mild, but they do have a variety of hot sauces on hand. It's worth mentioning that even a humble plate of tacos is served on nice ceramic dishes, along with good flatware and napkins.The espresso martini cheesecake is creamy and delicious, and the portion is really generous. The staff seem to enjoy working at the Overland. The servers work hard to make sure your order is to your liking, and food comes out pretty fast. There's a good sense of teamwork among them. The staff is also accommodating about seating or any special requests. We've been there on a busy Friday night, and on a Sunday evening and late night. The Overland is always at least moderately busy, so reservations are strongly recommended. The city of Redlands should be very proud of this establishment. Go and have fun!

I love the aesthetics of the place. It's a true vibe inside. The service is nice and friendly. It…read morewas packed on a Saturday at 4PM. There was only seating at the bar or outside (hot af outside). The only downside I think was a lot of their drinks are pre-made/on tap. So requesting anything outside of their fixed menu is not recommended. At least that's what the bartender told me directly - bummer.

We decided on weekend brunch, especially since there were endless mimosas. Our kids have a recollection of being down the class umbrella alleyway, so they were amazed when they saw it. A short while later, we were in front of the restaurant and were quickly seated by the staff. They didn't ask if we preferred outdoor or indoor seating, but we were seated inside right next to the kitchen. We heard that indoor seating was better for service anyway. The interior of the restaurant was "very fancy," and my daughter thought we were in a date spot. We knew we wanted French fries and opted for the garlic Parmesan fries. At first, the kids were weirded out by the arugula, but my daughter ended up enjoying it, noting the bitter and salty notes. My son devoured the entire plate (not the arugula) and asked for another round. We also ordered the lemon ricotta French toast, made from Brioche bread, lemon blackberry butter, whipped lemon ricotta cream, blackberries, mint, and maple syrup. They perfected the crispy exterior, which contrasted well with the fluffy bread. My wife ordered the breakfast pizza--a focaccia pizza topped with marinara, ham, spinach, fresh tomato, red onion, a sunny-side-up egg, and herb-infused maple syrup. This was really delicious with the tart, fresh tomatoes, the salty ham, and the sweet maple syrup. I ended up eating the sunny-side egg by itself, so we didn't get to try the pizza with the egg. Lastly, I ordered the steak and eggs, but it was sadly a small portion. I ordered it medium rare, and it came out medium. The seasoning was a bit strange and would have been better with simple salt, pepper, and garlic. The mimomas really made my wife happy. She started feeling it pretty quickly. She chose the pineapple juice while I got the traditional orange. Not sure if the alcohol made the food better or the other way around. I was brought to reality when I saw the expensive bill, though.

I never been to Ireland, but I have been to The Three Stags…read moreIrish Pub & Restaurant. First time I came here I sat at the bar and met an Irish man. Yes a legit Irishmen from Ireland, specifically Belfast. He told me this is the only bar you'll get a proper Guinness pour. He was right, it did taste better than any other Guinness I've had at other bars. lol Haven't tried their food, other than the fries (chips) and those were pretty damn good. The staff are friendly people, the place is pretty cool inside. Come try em out for yourself!

Wife and I were excited to try this place menu and location looked awesome (still does). We got…read morethere at around 6:15. It wasn't super busy at all, but there was no seating in the front, bartender working told us it was open seating... we went to the back and sat at a high top and after sitting there for 20 minutes with no greeting we got up and left. Multiple waitresses walked by us but they were conversing and singing and paced right by us. Even the bartender watched us leave and said nothing. I am usually pretty laid back when it comes to service, I get that hospitality is pretty wild sometimes but we felt so unwanted to be there and to be looked at by staff and unattended did me in. I will say the ambience is really nice in there and I'm sure the food is good. I just will never know.

I absolutely loved the ambiance here! Great vibes and decor. Chill and classy. The menu was yummy…read moreand we loved the chowder! It was fantastic! They serve it with bread so it's filling. I can't wait to return for more! We also really enjoyed the Sea Hag cocktail and salmon pate. It was also served with bread. It's dimmer lit but not so much where you're sitting in the dark. Bright feeling due to open space and decor. Great music volume and songs. Food was presented very nicely! Service was friendly! The only thing I can say in critique is when it's over 100 degrees out- chill the restaurant please! I was not prepared to be hot and I actually had to get out my fan. Full disclosure I'm pregnant but when I go out for a nice meal during the summer- freeze me out so I can wear pants and long sleeves and be comfortable. The oysters looked awesome and I cannot wait to return and try!!! The fries looked perfectly crispy and are on thinner side which is pretty cool. You can get chowder on them which sounds really good.

The environment is amazing because it was lively, energetic, and the bar is incredibly inviting. I was greeted right away the second we walked through the door. If you love oysters this is definitely the spot. They feature a great selection sourced from different locations and they were incredibly fresh. While their drink specials looked delicious, I ended up ordering a refreshing cocktail that was so good I completely forgot to take a picture before finishing it! To top it all off, the customer service was amazing. The staff was highly attentive and made me feel taken care of the entire time. I'd highly recommend this place for a fun night out with friends or a great date night spot. I'll definitely be back!

I had the fried zucchinis, spinach dip and cheese cake with whip cream and strawberries-all were amazing. Want to come back for the Saturday prime rib and lobster tail. The decor is clean and lighting is a bit dim making it a more intimate setting. It's a bit loud where you couldn't hear the broadcasters on the game but overall it's a nice place to hang out.

I really did not want to like this establishment. We lived in Redlands for more than ten years and…read morenever once visited until this past Sunday. Tartan of Redlands just never stood out. The only reason why we are here was because someone else chose this location. The inside was really dark--perfect if someone needs to have a good cry or a bad hair day. The tables were dimly lit with one candle per table. The waitress was friendly and helped us with waters and making recommendations for food options. So far, the impression was lackluster. While the everything was greatly overcharged, the food actually made up for it. We ordered a porterhouse steak, medium-rare and opted for two sides (French fries and vegetables) rather than the house soup. A good measure of a restaurant is whether or not they can cook to the requested temperature. The medium-rare was in fact a medium-rare--juicy, tender with a warm pink center. An even better measure of a restaurant is how they prepare their vegetables. The porterhouse came with asparagus and carrots that were roasted and seasoned with sweet caramelization and crispy exterior. I definitely want to come back in a Saturday to try their prime rib.
