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.

$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.

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.

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!!

Lemon drop and beer

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

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.

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!

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!

This place is so overpriced for melted shredded cheese. We had reservations for 7:30pm and were seated at 8:30pm. The service sucks but the food is worse. The cheese melted and immediately turned to a cement block. We ordered an appetizer cheese fondue and the sausage served was ice cold. We left it in the fondue to warm up but the cheese wouldn't stick to it. We spent $100 for two drinks and a cheese fondue appetizer. We will definitely never be back.

Part 2 of last night's date night was around the corner at Copehouse Bar. It had started raining,…read moreso we were grateful for the short walk to arrive. We seated ourselves at our favorite raised table in the corner on the far side of the bar. My husband and I stuck to traditional cocktails, and old fashioned and a Negroni. Our friends chose signature cocktails: the Turbo Granny and the Electric Feel. Now the Electric Feel was not just a drink, it was an experience. Our server explained to our friend that he should sip a little of the drink, then chew the Szechuan buzz bud for about 15 seconds, letting it coat his whole tongue, then enjoy the rest of the drink which would taste different afterwards. Our friend went through all those steps and said it was incredible, like all the flavors were enhanced along with different sensations in his mouth, kind of numb and tingly. His wife was not satisfied with his description of the experience, so she bought a Szechuan buzz bud for $2 and she said it was kind of like pop rocks. These buzz bud looks just like a little flower bud like the end of a dandelion once the seeds are blown away. It comes from a plant. Totally fascinating! We enjoyed our one cocktail each here and just had great conversation. It was a fun night because of the company, and also because we had a little adventure going to two amazing places!

There's a lot to like here, but it's a bit uneven…read more We started with the Brussels sprouts and they were excellent--crispy, balanced, and easily the standout of the night. My wife's cocktail was also top notch. She ordered the risotto and that was another win--well executed and clearly something the kitchen has dialed in. My entrée (the mussels with chorizo and fennel) was the miss. It came out very salty, and I couldn't really detect the fennel that was listed on the menu. To their credit, they comped a beer, which was appreciated. Service was friendly. One small but real comfort note: there was an exposed bulb on a shelf at eye level that made our table uncomfortable enough that i had to move my seat to not have it in my eyes the entire evening. Probably an easy fix, but worth mentioning. Overall, there are some genuinely strong dishes here, and enough went right that we'll be back--just hoping for a bit more consistency across the board.
