Every year the birthday person gets to pick where they want to go out to dinner. Sue's birthday is tomorrow but we decided to celebrate tonight. She picked Lucerne's which is a local fondue & spirits restaurant in Rockford. It was a TON of fun!! Mark and I had never been there or to any fondue restaurant.
Before going to the restaurant we gave Sue her gifts here at our house.
I made her a card, we got her the movie Queen, and a gift card to Crimson Ridge. Then we left for Lucerne's.
The meal started out with Wisconsin cheddar and swiss cheese. We were given a basketful of bread, grapes, apples, carrots, and celery to dip into the cheese mixture. When we were done with our appetizer we were given a salad. We were allowed to choose our entre which ended up with
us all getting a combination of either steak, chicken, or shrimp. You then get to cook your meat along with the many vegetables they give to you in hot oil in the fondue pot. They also provided 12 or so different sauces to dip everything into.
The best part was the dessert which consisted of chocolate and caramel fondue with strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, angel food cake, pineapple, and cherries to dip into it.
We were all incredibly full after this meal. I hope you enjoy the PICTURES.
