UNCASVILLE, CT (September 15, 2014)- Get ready to sip, sizzle and dip into Mohegan Sun’s newest restaurant, Sticks & Stones, coming to Casino of the Sky in late 2014.
The dipping grille, which seats just under 300 people, encourages playing with your food while sharing conversation, experimenting with new tastes and enjoying plenty of laughs. Set in a postmodern industrial décor, you’ll feel the energy the minute you step into this very interactive and tasty experience found only at Mohegan Sun.
Embrace the comeback of the fondue dipping concept at Sticks & Stones. The unique dining experience aims to bring conversation back to meal time while you gather around the table’s hot grilling stone with family and friends.
Savor ultra-fresh steaks, seafood and locally sourced vegetables as you immerse them, fondue style, into broths, sauces and gourmet cheeses. Non-dippers can indulge in the freshest culinary treats prepared by the executive chef. Let the sommelier pair your choices with fine wine or explore the molecular bar where mixologists mix science with spirits for satisfying cocktails that bubble, pop and fizz with flair.
