Awesome experience They were really busy for a Wednesday evening, but everyone was amazing. We just went into the bar for appetizers but really wanted to sit at a table instead of the bar. My husband had gone to the hostess to ask if it was OK for us to sit at one of the tables at the same time I was asking the bartender Melissa who was also the manager tonight. They were both so accommodating. The hostess Leila was also bussing tables. She came over right away and cleaned the table which was dirty, brought us silverware and menus. The reason this was a big deal is because usually the tables are reserved for those ordering fondue as they have the cook top and fondue pots set up. Despite the fact that they had staffed down because Wednesday is usually slow, everyone was pleasant, attentive, and gave great customer service. We have always enjoyed Simply Fondue, but in these days of higher prices for everything and often not such great service, it was a breath of fresh air to have such a great experience and it's nice to know there are still people around that take their job seriously and want to provide great customer service. We will not only be back but will pass on to everyone we know how wonderful our experience was.

came here 2 times and so far so great! the waitress we had one time was super nice! her name was layla i’m pretty sure but anyways she was super nice. and i love how you just pay like $16 for the cheese or chocolate fondue and you get unlimited toppings (like the side it comes w, the bread and stuff)

Highly recommend! The service is quick and friendly, the food is delicious with plenty of variety in flavors, and the atmosphere is great for families or friends alike! Visited on a monday evening. We arrived at 8:35 and there was no wait! Unfortunately, they stopped serving entrees at 8:45 and would only allow us to order appetizers if we sat on the bar side of the restaurant. Which was a nicer atmosphere, so it worked out! The chicken sliders are a must, as are the waffle fries. Loved the Italian Fontina and the traditional Swiss chalet. The fudge brownie chocolate was amazing, and one portion was enough for three of us. All the portions are very generous! Definitely a must stop in the livermore downtown!

Happy to give a great review! Reservations were fast and easy. Location is perfect and parking near by was free. Downtown Livermore is always lovely, but especially on a Saturday night. The seating feels private and is comfortable. The staff was organized, friendly and great at providing a high quality experience. This was our first time and Julia was more than happy to explain everything to us. Food came out quickly and the drinks were well made! Lots of options keep the menu really satisfying for everyone. I know we'll be back and I am glad it went so well! A fun food experience and a really yummy meal! I highly recommend for your next outing or celebration!

Had an amazing experience at this restaurant last weekend with my friend. Set it off at the bar, cocktails with the super friendly bartender. We then started off with the fondue and entrée all you can eat. I must say for the price. It is definitely worth it. The waiter recommended us a way to pair the cheeses and it was absolutely fabulous and I couldn’t believe that they had gluten-free bread for me as well. That really made my day! And I loved the portion sizes as well. we ended the night with a couple more cocktails and the vegan dark chocolate and everything but the kitchen sink. Really appreciate the staff catering to our needs, and our waiter, keeping us smiling the whole time! Can’t wait to go back!

Top-notch service and delicious food more tapas style food in the bar area versus the dining room area. Dining room area is great for a date night with wonderful conversations. Special moments there also spent with my children as they love the chocolate milk in a martini glass drizzled with chocolate! Special treat. Definitely need a picture of that next time we go. Enjoy!

It ain't cheap, but it's pretty fun. All the courses are really good and you leave super full. They have a great Martini Selection as well. I think it's a good special occasion sort of restaurant for a full meal. Or just a drop in to do some dessert, that's probably fun too.

There's nothing simple about Simply Fondue. This place is amazing. My wife and I went there for a birthday dinner. The restaurant was packed, however the atmosphere was fun and not overwhelming. Our waiter "Austin" was hands down one of the best waiters we've ever had. He took his time to explain the menu and all the options we had available to us. Even though the restaurant was full and his section was busy he was still able to be very intensive and that says a lot about his character and this restaurant. The food was amazing. The choices of meats are plentiful. The drinks were amazing. Plenty of free parking near the restaurant. Can't wait till I go back...

Such a great experience. Perfect for a large group. Choice of 2 cheeses to choose from and plenty of items to dip. Cheddar and Gouda were the best flavors. We didn't much care for the traditional, it gave of a slight alcohol flavor. The protein portion of the meal I was not too impressed with and could have done without. But absolutely do not skip dessert. I am not a chocolate fan but man did I enjoy every dip in that heath chocolate. Drinks were strong and tasty. I wanted to try just about all of them and nearly did. Our server was great! Very friendly and accommodating. Bathrooms are gender specific. Will be visiting again soon!

Made reservations for 5pm, got there about 10 minutes early and they were still able to sit us! Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable! It was our first time with this specific restaurant and it was Awesome!! My family and I Loved the whole experience!! The cheese was perfectly flavored and the cooking styles we chose based off our waitress suggestion fit our food beautifully!! The portions were More than enough but it was nice knowing we were able to choose more entree selections (even different ones). The chocolate dessert menu was phenomenal!! So many different choices but the 2 we ended up with were soooo good!!

Lovely waiter, very friendly and attentive. Long wait for water, though. Would recommend skillet and pot for tender juicy meat. We did the feast it's pricey, but you get the full experience. If you do feast, expect at least more than an hour to eat everything. Bar staff was also very friendly and good.

I had a great experience at Simply Fondue in Livermore tonight with my partner for date night! The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a date night or special occasion—it feels like a fun little escape. The menu has a lot of variety, and the fondue itself was delicious, especially the cheese and dessert courses. It’s interactive and makes dining feel more like an experience than just a meal. Service was friendly and attentive, and the pacing between courses was just right. My only critique is that it can feel a little dark if you’re tucked in the back of the room, but overall it’s worth it for the unique experience and quality food. I’d definitely come back for another evening out!

First timer! I enjoyed this place! Our waiter was knowledgeable and recommended the best options for us. We got the meal for $77 each, grilled our own food in garlic butter and the beef literally melts in ur mouth. I can do w/out the cheese tho.

Simply a rip off. So expensive, just for me to cook my own food. Gotta share a burner so the cheese eventually hardens up. Food was alright, nothing to rave about. Definitely wouldn’t return.
