An awesome experience, only marred the excessively noisy party seated next to us. Our waiter was great, and his recommendations on wine, cheese and chocolate were perfect. I hope to have a quieter, more relaxed experience the next time I go.

This is the best fondue restaurant in the Bay Area. The decore is high style and a little off the norm. So not let it scare you. The food is worth it and the price. Excellent cheese fondue course with a nice variety of cheese options and dipping. You can grill or fondue any of the meat options. T...

The food was really good, had the chef salad for the first course and the cheddar bacon for the 2nd. For the salad I wish they didn't chop it into such little strips. They let us customize our meat course, more than I thought they would. We used the grill style with the garlic butter. The teriyaki s...

This spot is the one I always prefer. I eat in plenty of restaurants but to this one I keep coming back again and again. The crew is very chummy and the cooking they serve is so yummy. I am always happy to have a decent dinner in this restaurant. I highly recommend this place.

My favorite restaurant ever since 2003! If you ever have to go out to dinner and wish to entertain guests or smooth out any awkwardness, this is the place to go!

The food quality is top notch as is the service!

One of the waiters back in the day opened a franchise in South Lake Tahoe. We still...

Fantastic place to eat. The waiter was kind and helpful. He explained the proper way to grill and how long so we didn't get sick. Had a salad, cheese fondue, all meats grilling, and chocolate fondue. If you can find the time and $ it's well worth it!

Nice place in the heart of downtown Saratoga. It is expensive, but it's to be expected being in Saratoga. It has very interesting decor, the area that we sat in kind of reminded me of something out of the movie Beetlejuice! Dinner was good and the family had fun, I just wish their meat (some of the...

My boyfriend and I came here for our 4 year anniversary and it was such an experience! We got salads, cheese fondue, various meats to grill and their accompanying sauces, and finished it off with chocolate fondue. All of it was absolutely delicious and more than enough for 2 people. We also got a ha...

It's a fun time to go with a group of folks, but can be very expensive. Recommend picking up a groupon, which they offer regularly, or going on their free corkage night with a few bottles of wine (I think it's Tues?) to increase the bang for your buck.

Best Fondue anywhere, bar none. This is one of our favorite places. Everything, from the salad, to the cheese fondue, through the main course (we usually get the fondue feast so we can pick a large variety of meats) to the spectacular chocolate fondue desserts deserve the rating.

La Fondue is an upscale fondue restaurant great for groups or a couple on a date. We had "La Freak" which includes every kind of meat the menu offers. You do all the cooking of the meats yourself however, their website includes a full interactive guide of instructions. The cheese fondue is great and...

Delicious food, great ambiance and deco. Be aware of the misleading menu. The hostess told us prices were for two but they were for each person! Add-ons are also per item and not for the set.
It's a shame there is no further clarification from the waiting staff.

My husband and I took advantage of a groupon. The food was very good.

We got the four cheese. The dippers were good. The boiled potatoes were unique.

The salad was huge. At the suggestion of our server we asked him to just box it up.

The real fun came when the plate of meat showed up. We de...

The wife and I LOVED the entire experience. Adam was great! He was helpful with the entire meal and experience. We did the Le Freak and it was FANTASTIC!!!! The tablet with the cook times was very nice to have. The Dark Mix was phenomenal. We will be returning soon!

Sad to say that La Fondue has become boring. We have gone there for special occasions for over 20 years and not much on the menu has changed. It would be great if the chef could come up with some new marinades, dippers, etc. Our buttermilk bacon cheese fondue was gloppy and had no flavor. I will...

Visited La Fondue last night with a friend, we had a groupon otherwise we would not have been able to afford.

We arrived early and were seated quickly. The atmosphere is very nice as so was the wait staff. The salads were wonderful. When it came time for the fondue the waiter and I were talking ...

Don t bother-there are far better restaurants nearby.
The room was too dark, the decor atrocious, the menu confusing, and portions far too small for the astronomical prices. The only consolation was that our server worked hard to make the evening pleasant. I regret that I do not have his name wi...

two days ago was the first time we visited this restaurant. But It is surely not the last. We passed a splendid evening with the excellent service, with the excellent meal and fine drinks and with the comfortable price. We will surely go back there in a short time.

It's a fun experience, but just average for the dollars spent. Our waitress was pleasant, but too busy to be there when we needed her. The decor--other reviews commented on the strangeness of it, but it's fun! The pink room is pretty, and it is probably one of the more quiet places in the restauran...

Pretty good ambience. Pretty good experience.
Only thing is the sizes of the cheese servings are bit small. To be fair you get two salads with a fondue serving but I'd rather break those two apart too so I am not forced to get salad just for ordering another order of cheese!

We got the combination plate, which was a four-course meal. We started with the cheese fondue, we got the cognac pesto--it was delicious. Next was the salads. Then on to the main course. We had kangaroo, antelope, venison, wild boar, colossal shrimp, and shark. It works so that you cook it your...

Made a reservation the day before our meal and was lucky to nab a good time! We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation. Valet is $11 without tip. There was lots of people that day so finding a parking spot was hard to find.

The hostess checked us in and we waited about 15 minutes as our table ...

Fun and different, with large portions (but the food is so good you keep wanting more!) and great service, this is a great place for a special occasion. Decor is fun and festive. Cheese fondues are a great way to get the meal started, my personal favorite is the Schweitz, a 4 cheese combo with a S...

Right now there is a killer Groupon going on for La Fondue. It is a really great deal, and actually what brought us in. For $155 you get a la Freek dinner. Basically a cheese fondue starter, a sampler of all their meats, dessert fondue and a bottle of wine. It is a ridiculous amount of food! Of cour...

Been coming here for a couple decades and still love it. The prices are high, but for special occasions it's such an enjoyable experience.

Personally, I find the meat fondue to be the least interesting aspect of the meal. It takes a lot of time and effort. It's also dark so difficult to see how w...
