    Our first time! We have done fondue in other places but not at La Fondue. The menu has so many choices - it was impressive. We chose to grill the meat and my biggest complaint is that it was so dark we had to use flashlights to check if the meat was done. Also longer handled spatulas would be helpful to avoid splatter burns. Wait staff and fantastic!
