My boyfriend wanted to go somewhere different for his birthday, so we chose La Fondue, which we never tried before, even though it is close to where I live. Off we went, and unfortunately, we were disappointed. To start, the place is not very clean - not dirty, but didn't feel very fresh. The decor is dark and muted, a little confining. The waiter came, with a French accent, and introduced the menu for us. He pushed the ""complete dinner"" package, which we accepted, even though it was pricey. The first course was cheese fondue, which I like, but the bread was a bit too stale - the cheese was very good. We took our time enjoying the cheese, and then on to the main course. We chose the oil fondue, because we're not fond of wine, and the little fondue container that arrived at our table was old and crusty. Not visually appealing at all! The entree is brought in these faux wood serving trays, with little cubbies for the sauces. These sauces were obviously sitting on the cups for quite a while, because some of them were butter-like in texture. The meat/shrimp combination was ok, but the portion was a bit small for the price. After the main course, they brought the chocolate fondue, which was good except for some of the fruits that didn't appear to be as fresh as they could be. Not bad overall, but the service was subpar, food was average, and price was a bit too high.
Pros: Good chocolate fondue, tasty cheese fondue
Cons: Bread for cheese was too stale, some fruits not very fresh, service is inferior
