First and foremost, I'd highly recommend having Valentine's Day Dinner the day AFTER Valentine's Day. That way, when you do get into that super swanky and expensive restaurant you've had your eye on, you can actually choose from their entire menu, rather than a Prix Fixe. And THAT is what husband and I were doing at La Fondue on February 15th. Fondue, to me, is probably one of the most amazing concepts concerning food, like, ever. The thought of consuming Melted Cheese and Melted Chocolate on an endless array and amount of dip-ables all in one night is enough to make me want to weep with happiness. La Fondue was well worth the 30 min drive from Fremont to the cute little downtown of Saratoga. We were seated promptly and treated to a really friendly server who made sure we understood what we were getting ourselves into, thoroughly. We choose the Fondue Feast, choosing the Bacon Cheddar cheese for the app, the spinach salad for that break in between the cheese and the meat (that you probably shouldn't eat because you KNOW you're going to be full), and then got to choose six meats to cook in our little grill in the middle of the table. We choose a combination of steak, seafood, chicken, and some buffalo meat for good measure. Honestly, and this is not specific to La Fondue, but I could take or leave the food-cooking part. Yeah, it's different, and you get a ton of random choices (did I mention we had buffalo meat?) and a ton of sauces .but let's get real--it's a lot of work to time your food, flip it, cook it, choose the right poker to take it to your plate with you get the idea. I will say that La Fondue's selection was top notch. My fave was the scallops, and husband totally enjoyed the wild choice of buffalo. Unlike husband, I had eaten only half my salad (which was solid, in itself), paced myself with the cheese (SO impossibly rich and cheesy and perfect with the apples, bread and other savory treats to dip it in) and counted the seconds until they let us choose our CHOCOLATE and brought over an endless amount of diet-spoiling, impossibly delicious things to dip in it--fruit, cake, cookie dough, marshmallows, etc. Such a good decision, you guys. I enjoyed every minute. To recap, La Fondue was fantastic. The servers were friendly and thorough, there are so many choices that you couldn't possibly have the same thing twice unless you went several times, and they give you a TON of food for your buck. My advice--pace yourself so you can savor that chocolate goodness that comes at the end. Prices were reasonable and I would TOTALLY come back here again for any special occasion.
