What a unique dining experience at La Fondue! Great presentation, decent service, and sizable portions!My wife and I went to La Fondue last month for our 3 year wedding anniversary, as it was recommended by a few of my coworkers. I noticed that there was a LivingSocial deal for La Fondue for $135 and so we decided to take advantage of it, so I made the reservation a couple weeks before we went. The deal included a bottle of wine or champagne, choice of cheese fondue for the appetizer, choice of salad, a meat/seafood sampler plate, and a chocolate fondue dessert. They said that the whole package was supposed to be about $350+ so it seemed like a great package for us!Beginning with the appetizer, we decided to go with the Stinking Rose cheese fondue, which is made for garlic lovers - it has garlic, swiss cheese, and wine in it. It was one of the recommendations by our waitress that evening, and it was a really good option. Our waitress made it right in front of us table-side with all of the ingredients, and mixed it around to make sure there weren't any cheese chunks that we would run into. It was served with an assortment of breads, fruits, etc. for us to dip into the cheese fondue. Next, we got our salads. I ordered the Chef Salad, and my wife got the Spinach Salad. I ordered mine with the Lemon Tarragon dressing, and my wife put Olive Oil and Balsamic in hers. The salads were very generous portions (more than we expected), and we really enjoyed them. Our waitress encouraged us NOT to eat through the entire salad, because we had a lot more food coming. It was definitely a first to have a waitress encourage us to not finish a part of our meal, so that was interesting.Moving onto the main course, we got the meat/seafood sampler platter next. We decided to go with the grilled option. We got a huge platter of various bit sized meats and seafood including 5-6 types of chicken, 5-6 types of beef, 3-4 types of shrimp, scallops, lobster tail, tuna, etc. They gave us a variety of different dipping sauces, including BBQ, wasabi garlic, and a couple other ones, and surprisingly the BBQ dipping sauce was the best one! We cooked everything in the garlic butter, and it was terrific. Before we started cooking, the waitress went over the 25+ meats/seafood for us, but when we started cooking, we couldn't remember which one was which. Our only major issue with that was that we didn't know what meat we were eating! I wish they were labeled (either on the platter) or via a toothpick flag lodged into the meat with the name of the meat/seafood on it. We knew when we were eating chicken, beef, shrimp, scallop and lobster, but we didn't know WHICH type we were eating.Lastly, for the dessert, we ordered a milk chocolate fondue with crushed nuts in it (I believe it was called Turtle Shell or something like that?). They gave us another assortment of bread, fruits, cake bites, etc. to dip into our chocolate fondue, and this was a great way to end the meal. They also gave us some champagne with our dessert, along with the bottle of white wine that we were already sharing. So here's the summary: excellent multi-course dining experience. Our waitress was very professional, and she did a great job at preparing the dishes for us. We did ask her a few questions that she didn't know the answer to, and we wished she was as knowledgeable as the other waiter who was assisting customers next to us.  As I mentioned already, the sample platter was not labeled, so we had no idea what we were eating during the main course. From a price perspective, we looked at the normal menu too, and noticed how steep the prices were. The cheese fondues were about $50 per serving, and individual meat dishes were between $50-$85 per option. So this is definitely a pricey option for dinner (out entire would have definitely cost us over $350). I would reserve it for special occasions only. If there is another LivingSocial deal, we will probably give it another try. Otherwise, on any normal weekend night, I am not sure we would go here for just any ordinary dinner. Great experience, but reserve it for special occasions!
