Waw this place! Not only is the food so good, but the experience made this stop a great night. Make sure you go on an empty stomach because you’ll be full for the next week after dinner, and trust me, you really want to try EVERYTHING served. You start off with your individual salad; i recommend the spinach with honey mustard dressing. They then make the cheese fondue in front of you (you select which one you want from the menu). The cheese is accompanied with bites you can dip in. I was pretty full already but we had out meats come in next! It’s a really fun place to go with a big party or just a one on one date because you end up cooking your meats on the grill and eating them the way you like. My favorite part was the amazing chocolate fondue! The bites they gave us to dip into the chocolate of our choice was incredibly delicious. Did I also mention their wine and drinks? Everything was done perfectly.

This is a place we love coming to for a treat. It's usually 4 courses but you can get a la carte as well. The portion sizes are pretty large if you plan to eat all 4 courses. Usually we are full after the salad and cheese fondue but manage to keep eating anyway because it's all tasty! One of the great things about fondue is that it takes time to get through each course. Waiting for the cheese to melt or each morsel of meat to cook really creates time for digestion and conversation. Plan for a 2 hour experience if you are going to have 4 courses. Excellent service and romantic atmosphere.

It was my first time having fondue, the server kindly and patiently explained everything about fondue, on how to choose how to cook and how to eat. We have the entree meat grilled, very tender and flavourful. The decoration of the restaurant is very unique. Overall a good experience and very recommended for anyone who wants to try fondue.

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!

It was a fun first experience at this restaurant. Our group enjoyed our Valentine's dinner but because of all the cooking, the smell and smoke made all our outfits smell very bad. Also it's too expensive.

1st Timer! Didn't know I was gonna be cooking, but was good with it. I couldn't control the heat, so it may vary from table to table, wait staff to wait staff. Know good cooking times for beef, tuna and seafood. This is all for your main course. Our waitress was so busy and had so many tables she was struggling, did a great job, and finally gave us her time at the end. Expect to spend 2-3 hours. Awesome setting, in this old church. Too bad, for a very loud party, was just that very loud. A lady using her phone flashlight to see her food??? Seriously? Other than that, I proposed to my beautiful partner, she said yes!

La Fondue is a treat! We were celebrating a birthday and it did not disappoint! We started with espresso martinis and they were light and tasty! The three of us did the late night chocolate special and shared the danger mix with milk chocolate and toffee. There was a solid variety of foods to dip (strawberries, cookie dough, apple slices, bananas, rice crispy treat). It was decadent, delicious, and awesome girls night out!

I’m a regular for their Groupon ‘Le Frank’ deal. $85pp 4 courses dinner including salad, cheese fondue, protein skillet, chocolate fondue + sparkling wine. Each piece of protein look small but given the variety it’s a lot of food, they are also good quality. The service however could be better, 2 of us want sparkling water and 2 want regular, they served all of us sparkling. Half way through our cheese fondue I had to remind our waitress for our sparkling wine, the same for the red wine when we were almost done with our meat. Overall it was a very fun and yummy experience, I’d go to again when they have special.

Longstanding fondue establishment located in the heart of downtown Saratoga. The Medieval theme throughout the interior is an interesting choice, but overall the food was just average. It’s not an ideal setup for a family to share and try the various cheese and chocolate sauces, and the gamey meats’ flavors were simply too strong to enjoy (and very expensive). Fast and efficient service. Several parking lots within a 5-minute walk.

Exceptionally slow service. What should be a 1.5 to maybe 2 hour dinner took us 3 hours. Nobody originally asked if we wanted drinks, it took 20 minutes just to get us water and greet us at our table, and staff seemed confused I am only giving a 2 star because I feel bad for oir waiter who had wayyy too many tables

If you've ever been to a real fondue place in Europe, don't come here. Seriously. The concept is strange, not an authentic fondue. The quality of food is not good. The price is high indeed for the value. Slow service didn't help either. The place is kind of creepy. I was very disappointed. The only good thing for me were the drinks.

My boyfriend and I had a 6:00 reservation, but the evening got off to a rocky start. When we arrived, the two hosts at the front seemed either new or in training, and we were told there would be a wait because they didn’t have a server available yet. While we waited, we noticed other groups—including larger parties who arrived after us—were being seated first. After about 15 minutes of being overlooked, I finally spoke up, and only then were we shown to a table. Unfortunately, we were seated in a dark corner without so much as a word from the host, which made the experience feel awkward and frustrating. To make matters worse, our waiter seemed far more attentive and friendly to other tables that were seated after us, and even gave us a noticeable side glance that didn’t sit well. At that point, we asked to be relocated, as the experience already felt tainted. Thankfully, once we moved to a brighter area, things improved. A new server took over, service was much better, and we were even offered complimentary drinks as a way to make up for the rocky start. While the evening ended on a better note, the beginning was disappointing and not what I’d expect from such a long-standing Saratoga restaurant. For a place with La Fondue’s reputation, I expected more professionalism from the hosts and better hospitality at the start. Unfortunately, first impressions matter—and ours left a lot to be desired.

I didn’t expect my fiance and I to be here for almost 3.5 hours (mind you we eat fast) and we had plans elsewhere afterwards but had to cancel because of the painfully slow service. We arrived at 7:10 for our reservation, it initially started at 7 but parking was treacherous, not accounting that in this review (it is what it is). Right when our host was about to walk us down to our table, she actually dropped everything to show a guest who was joining another table to his seat. We then were brought to our seat where we waited almost 10 minutes for anybody to greet us. We chose the Le Freak course through groupon and had waited till 7:40 to even get a salad and water. The service was exceptionally slow and seems to be a lack of staffing but I’m guessing the atmosphere to others would be a distraction. Given we had places to be, that obviously did not turn out to be the case. I don’t mind waiting sometimes and don’t have as high expectations compared to my fiancé, but this was ridiculous to wait as long as we did. We scarfed down the salads, long wait for entree, water was being filled everywhere else but us as well. When entree finally came we did everything we could to try and get out at a reasonable time. Dumped all the seafood on the grill, then red meat, then chicken. All in all while the food was great for my first time here, this was absolutely not a good experience. So now we’re going home, it’s almost 11:00pm and our night ending here which was not what we expected.

Its been 15 years since we ate here. Its gone downhill so badly i cannot recommend it. Its not worth the hefty price. The meats were grisly & horribly marinated. The wagyu was so grisly i spit it out. Save your time & money & do not come here. It was awful.
