    Chelsea and Jill were amazing the place would be nothing without them 2. They make every visit there unforgettable . They could clone them and have them everywhere it would make the service industry perfect. If they ever leave I’ll die. My wife and I love their service. Food and atmosphere was amazing as always. Going back again this week.

    We had a wonderful dinner at La Fondue! The fondue experience was fun and unique, and the servers were incredibly friendly. The restaurant is in a great neighborhood with a beautiful interior, making it a perfect spot for a special evening. As a small business owner myself, I’d like to share some thoughts on the challenges restaurants face. Over the past six years, my business insurance and utility costs have increased by 100%, and I understand that every business is dealing with rising operational expenses. Restaurants in particular, are part of the service industry, it’s unfair to compare the price of food in a restaurant to its price in a grocery store. Restaurants have additional costs, especially maintaining skilled servers and providing a high-quality dining experience. That said, La Fondue is worth every penny for the exceptional experience and service they provide!

    Wow!! That’s quite the price tag. Husband and I, decided to treat ourselves to a night out for something new. Don’t get me wrong, ambience and service was great. Just don’t expect value. You’re paying for an experience and it’s not one we’ll repeat. I don’t mind paying for water, especially in California. But let me know you’re charging me $9 a bottle for Evian. The cheese fondue was my favorite, but justifying a $348 chèque for two people, it better be laced with cocaine or gold. Or you should be a Micheline plate. The surf and turf was mediocre and nothing stood out. Even with the six sauces they provided. There’s plenty of « add ons » you can include as well. And at the price I just quoted you’d think I’d done some of them. You’d be wrong. $348 was three drinks and the recommended tasting menu. Not including tip. I’m happy to tip the servers what they deserve. But I’m not happy with the over priced experience. We won’t do it again.

    My daughter and I visited La Fondue for a girls’ night out. The food and atmosphere were great and the service by Alex and Chris was amazing! So friendly and professional. A couple was dining a few tables away from us and clearly having relationship issues which manifested in a broken glass, repeated requests for explanations about the food and both of them leaving the table for extended periods, only to return later. Thought we were on a reality Tv show. When Alex delivered their check, the man loudly proclaimed “the food was excellent but the service was mediocre”. Wow! Alex went out of his way to be kind and never reacted to their drama. La Fondue management should be so proud of the way Alex and Chris were able to handle such a difficult couple. We will be back, our food and service were great.

    Thank you very much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you and your daughter enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and exceptional service from Alex and Chris. They truly go above and beyond to make every visit special. We're sorry to hear about the unexpected dinner entertainment—sometimes reality feels stranger than fiction! We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to welcome you both back for another memorable girls' night out!

    La Fondue is my favorite restaurant, period. And having lived on three continents and travelled the world, that means a lot. It is a great experience for a romantic date and the food is amazing. It seems counter intuitive to cook your own food, but it adds a lot of fun, and you can make it exactly how you like it. The choices are great and the sides are perfect. The only complaint is that I need a stretcher when I leave!! LOL!

    Our family has been coming here for over 20 years, and it holds a lot of nostalgia for us. Although it's become pricier, which means we don’t visit as often as we used to, it’s still a great choice for a family dinner. You really can’t go wrong with cheese, grilled meats, and chocolate!

    We went for the 4-course 'Fondue Feast' on Friday night, and it was amazing! With three of us dining, each guest chose three items, giving us the chance to share and try a lot different options. The menu offered so many unique and exciting choices—from Teriyaki Sirloin and Australian Lamb to Day Boat Scallops and Louisiana Alligator. Every bite was an adventure! Our server, Alex, was fantastic—attentive and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. The portions were just right, and cooking everything in the flavorful broths added an extra layer of deliciousness. We left feeling full, happy, and already planning our next visit to try even more of the menu. Highly recommend!
