I've been hearing about the chocolate fondue at La Fondue from friends for years, so when I finally found myself in Saratoga in the evening hours, I dropped by La Fondue to see what the fuss was about.For the uninitiated, fondue consists of cooking your food, or dipping food, into a double boiler full of sauces, most likely cheese based, or chocolate, if you are doing the dessert thing.  It's the Scandinavian (I think) equivalent of Asian hot pot, I guess, so just imagine a fun communal cooking experience.La Fondue was a lot of fun, albeit on the pricey side (expect to pay at least $50 per person).  The service was very attentive and our waitress had a lot of suggestions to give us, and was very encouraging (I guess they get a lot of people who are new to fondue who need someone to praise their culinary courage or something).   Dinner generally starts off with a cheese fondue - we had cheddar cheese mixed with blue cheese and sundried tomatoes.  DEElish!  They give you some vegetables, fruit, and bread to dip.  Our waitress even came back with extra stuff, so don't be shy if you really like something and want more of it to dip.  Then they give you a salad - my recommendation is to skip the salad entirely - it's not worth the space that it's going to take up in your stomach, and it's also not very good.  Then they start you on your meats.  We chose to "grill" our meat, which wasn't grilling at all but pan frying food in garlic butter.  You get to choose from a variety of meats, some pretty exotic (like wild game type meats such as elk, venison, and ostrich) and some are your usual, such as sirloin and chicken.  When you grill your meats, they give you an assortment of sauces to dip the meats into, but the meats themselves are premarinated, so the sauce dipping isn't really necessary (although they are pretty tasty too).  One note about the meats: you get a smallish plate of meat.  You're going to think that it's not really enough, but keep in mind how rich all the stuff is, and you'll be surprised how full you are, even if the meat plate looks small.  After the meat, you get started on the chocolate dessert course.  This, of course, is what fondue is all about!  They give you all sorts of stuff to dip - marshmellows, pound cake, fruit, snickers bars, even rice cripsy treats!  And they'll bring you more if you want!Overall, a really enjoyable experience, but one that I think only merits one visit.  It's really pricey for what it is, and if you are inspired, I'd say to just do it yourself at home.  But do try it at least once!  Also, they do dessert only fondue, starting at 10 pm from Sundays to Thursdays.  For $9 per person, you get the dessert experience, but get there around 9:30 or so to line up, because it's first come first serve.
