Customer Reviews
Longstanding fondue establishment located in the heart of downtown Saratoga. The Medieval theme throughout the interior is an interesting choice, but overall the food was just average. It’s not an ideal setup for a family to share and try the various cheese and chocolate sauces, and the gamey meats’ flavors were simply too strong to enjoy (and very expensive). Fast and efficient service. Several parking lots within a 5-minute walk.
Being vegetarians and not too fond of cheese we had avoided this place for more than 2 decades. But so glad we finally decided to try it! Plenty of options for vegetarians and the service is amazing they cater to every need. Excellent fresh vegetables and the desert fondu was delicious. Now looking forward to our next visit to try a few other items on the menu. We had the stinking rose which was a little bland for us but then they suggested cayenne peppers with it 👍 The starter salad was excellent I had it with lemon tarragon dressing on the side. The grilled veggies and the dips to go with it just fantastic!! They even made a complimentary toast to celebrate Father’s Day. Note: -The dress code is casual at least when we were there we saw a lot of them in shorts and quite informal attire.
Love this place. Come here often to celebrate special occasions, and the atmosphere and food is always good. Host could have been more attentive during my most recent visit. She prioritized seating someone without a reservation over us with a reservation, and we had to wait longer than I would've like. What's the point of a reservation.
My favorite restaurant ever because the fondue is so delicious and made with quality ingredients. We live 3 hours away now and STILL drive back to go here. Great date night spot or for special occasions. Takes a few hours to enjoy the full meal experience. Oh, they also have great cocktails, and I always get a white chocolate mocha with the chocolate fondue. So yummy!
I didn’t expect my fiance and I to be here for almost 3.5 hours (mind you we eat fast) and we had plans elsewhere afterwards but had to cancel because of the painfully slow service. We arrived at 7:10 for our reservation, it initially started at 7 but parking was treacherous, not accounting that in this review (it is what it is). Right when our host was about to walk us down to our table, she actually dropped everything to show a guest who was joining another table to his seat. We then were brought to our seat where we waited almost 10 minutes for anybody to greet us. We chose the Le Freak course through groupon and had waited till 7:40 to even get a salad and water. The service was exceptionally slow and seems to be a lack of staffing but I’m guessing the atmosphere to others would be a
