Even those who hate to cook might want to give fondue a stab at this Buffalo Grove eatery. Get started with one of four cheesy combinations, like the "fiesta" with cheddar, Mexican spices, jalapenos, chips and salsa. Entree selections include teriyaki sirloin, lobster tail, and a seafood trio. For dessert, the chocolate fondue lets diners dip fruit and sweets into chocolate blends like the "Irish Cream Dream," gooey melted milk chocolate swirled with Irish cream liqueur. The lounge offers chess, checkers and backgammon tables, a welcome diversion while waiting for a table on busy nights.
