Editorial Review for La Fondue – by Kelle Schillaci
The Scene
La Fondue is a great first-date restaurant. Couples get cozy in big chairs under a star-and-moon motif and share chocolate. What's better than that?
The Food
The pristine waitstaff tutors you through the fondue experience. Diners are led step by step through the menu choices: filet mignon, Chinoise Gruyere and chicken Japonaise. Culinary adventurers might opt for the "Wild Thing" combo of alligator, buffalo, elk, ostrich, venison and wild boar. Once you've decided on the ingredients for your main course, the cooking method's up to you, as they strike up the cauldron and set you loose with the utensils. For dessert, nothing says sinful like a vat of thick, warm white or milk chocolate. Figure in a healthy dose of liqueur, and you've got the ideal dip to dunk just about anything.

We went to La Fondue for my birthday and to have a quiet romantic night together. It was absolutely fabulous. Started on the four course meal, with huge yummy salad. I had to stop myself from eating it all...i would have never been able to finish the rest of the meal that was coming by. The cheese fondue was next and since I was pregnant, they didn't use the usual champagne with cheese, but just broth. It was really tasty. Then the grilled meat plate n' finally the sumptuous dessert.- chocolate fondue...it just made my day totally extra special. The server was great and her suggestions really worked well for us. We loved it and highly recommend it to everyone who wants to have a romantic dinner with the special someone!
Pros: The fondue dishes
Cons: Expensive

You have got to be kidding! You pay this much and cook your own food. Only in America, only in San Jose area can this restaurant survive. Maybe for desert I'll have samores and we'll tell stories around the campfire. Never again. What a rip off. I would, however, like to invest in the restaurant. No chef required. No professional wait staff required. Make it look sort of like Marakesh and serve Swiss fondue. What a racket. I wish I had thought of it! I'm sure the profit margin puts McDonalds to shame. Owner is laughing all the way to the bank and patrons think they are being sophisicated. Plenty of turkeys for the plucking in Silcon valley.
Pros: sleepy Saratoga
Cons: sleepy Saratoga
