    My favorite place in the region! Fancy enough for a special occasion but casual enough for a dinner date. Food is absolutely amazing. Decor is contemporary and great ambiance. Service is great. I had filet mignon and chicken. Both cheese fondues are great but I prefer the gruyere. Owner is the sweetest woman ever. Definitely a must eat at restaurant!

    This place is absolute genius! I came here with my wife for our 3 year wedding anniversary, ready to drop some cash for a fun and delicious meal. And oh, we certainly did end up having fun, as we left the place in stitches, laughing at how utterly ridiculous the place was. What originality! Whoever thought to open a comedy club and disguising it as a high-priced fondue place needs to be congratulated. First, the decorations are classic. You walk in expecting to pay $150 a couple, so you also expect to sit in a well-lit, well decorated restaurant. Instead, you walk into a strip mall shop with the decorations painted on the walls! Hilarious! But wait. The service is even better. Instead of hiring hard-working, friendly employees with even a rudimentary knowledge of the wine list, they fill the place with disinterested teenagers who would rather lean against the wall than fill your water glass. Genius! Yet none of these jokes compare to the actual food itself. What sort of bread would you think you'd get to dip in your $30 tub of bubbling cheese? A nicely browned, imported loaf packed with impeccable flavor? Nope. French baguette? Uh-uh. Wonder Bread? Try again. Actually, what my wife and I got for our money was cut up hamburger buns. NO JOKE! CUT UP HAMBURGER BUNS! Absolutely classic. The real punchline is the meat. And not that the meat is of a poor quality (though it's certainly not great) it's that for a single plate (approaching $40 at times) you get 6 strips of meat about the size of your big toe. Band, where's my rimshot?! Cafe Fondue is a truly unique experience. It's the only restaurant that I've ever left feeling like Howie Mandel was going to jump out from behind the (painted on) curtains and tell me that I'm on his prank show. Genius. Absolutely genius.

    Typical fondue place, nothing fancy. Very pricey!!! The food was very good though. Nice wait staff.

    If it wasn't for the great company dining with me, I'd be terribly disappointed. The cheddar fondue was gritty and disgusting, the main dish was ridiculous. It looked like our whole table shared one steak cut up in small pieces. Oils could have at least been flavored to make it somewhat better. EXTREMELY over priced in my opinion. Plus they added 18% gratuity to the bill even though our group had seperate checks. The dessert was okay but not outstanding. However, the wait staff was very friendly. It was an interesting experience, but I would head to chicago for the next fondue meal. Dont waste your money!

    If you wanna fondue, eh. The food is good but the setup inside i could care less for. It's very open. Not private at all. Very expensive. There is no other competition. It's the only one around in this area. Eh.

    Easily among the best restaurants in the entire Region. Such fun to indulge in classic fondue, and for a really great price! The ambience is great even when it's not crazy busy. I love the gruyere cheese appetizer, and the chocolate dipping...there's no better dessert. Relaxed, energized staff and a wonderful owner always around to ensure a perfect evening for guests. Highly recommend. Take my recommendation, and enjoy:)

    Abso-crap food intended to be dipped into reconstituded cheese or canola oil, and served with apathy-laced stoner attitude. The price? Roughly $3 per torturous bite. This place is so bad, you should go there so you don't ever feel compelled to call another restaurant the worst.

    Café Fondue is a fancy, elegant restaurant that's great for a date night or anniversary dinner. I've had the pleasure of dinning here three or four times, and I enjoy the atmosphere it provides. The establishment is small, but very nice. The decor has changed significantly since my last visit, but the experience is still unique and fun. I personally go for the experience and atmosphere. You may be surprised at first because you get to cooked your own meal!! Though this is the part to enjoy. Don't fret if you're concerned about cooking the servers are gladly to help. I wouldn't make a reservation here if you plan on stuffing your face, the portions are just right to have a nice dinner. Speaking of which I believe they only serve dinner, and do call ahead because they can get busy. Now onto the food. My favorite meal is the fondue Americana with chocolate. Its a three course meal with chicken, steak, and shrimp as the main course. The food is delicious and there is a decent selection to choose from. My favorite part is the chocolate at the end because they set it on fire and it tastes great. Overall its a fun experience and excellent date spot. A bit pricy for my taste, but the exceptional service and good wine selection makes up for it.

    Great ambience, service, staff, and dessert! Cheese fondue and entrees are just ok. A fun experience with larger groups.

    The meal over all was not great at all. The cheese did not taste great at all almost like melted store bought Swiss. The bread for the cheese was almost like eating wonder bread with inexpensive cheese. Then the steak and chicken course came which did not seem like it was enough for three 4 course meals that we ordered. Instead of the oil we got broth to cook half our meal and it was not worth it at all. don't even waste your time. The only thing that was really worth anything was the chocolate fondue but it also seemed like the portion size was pretty small considering that we only had 4 marshmallows and 5 strawberries for 4 adults. All in all I would not recommend this place at all if you are looking for a fondue restaurant go the gejas in Chicago. park on the street to save money or valet. This place is totally worth it compared to cafe fondue and costs about the same believe it or not.

    Awesome place! Been here with my wife 3 times and had a great and romantic experience. Great food and excellent service. Portions are just perfect and staff was quick and cheerful. Glad I didn't have to go to Chicago to find a fondue place.

    I had a decent experience. Probably not worth the price, but you should still try eating here.

    I can't express more how ripped off I felt leaving this place\! I'll try to be fair and grade them on categories. First is quality of FOOD: What David P. was saying about the bread is true. They do cut up hamburger buns and serve it to with a few other pieces of actual decent bread...but HAMBURGER BREAD should have no place at a fondue restaurant. Disgusting. The portions of filet mignon are laughable...it was starting to look old...You pay $30 for 6 tiny strips of crappy quality meat and 3 tiny pieces of floured chicken, why they hell would you flour the chicken!? And why does the chicken at Burger King and McDonald's taste BETTER than the crap they are serving at Cafe FonDUH. The scallops were okay and a decent size for six pieces. Cheese: There was so little for three people that we had to scrape the bowl and still wanted more...and actually the nacho cheese stuff you get at a movie theatre tastes better than stuff at this joint. Cooking broth: FREAKIN' Vegetable Oil. What the hell!? Who wants to deep fry their food? Isn't this supposed be upscale and the dipping broth be full of spices, wine and other delicious indgredients? NO! just OIL! NASTY! And to top it off they reuse the oil! I think they just strain it and then put it back out for the next victims. For the chocolate fondue we asked for some additional strawberries and they we were told that it would cost extra! There were three people in our group and they only brought out TWO strawberries. What the hell! We ordered two separate four course meals and they would only bring out the amount of food as if we ordered only 1 meal. Cafe Fondue is the WORST restaurant experience I have ever had! Period. I have had better food in small villages in Mexico, fresher and more flavorful than the crap they serve at Cafe Fondue. I rather eat a sweaty sock than to ever eat at Cafe Fondue ever again, at least the sock will have some flavor! David P. was right about the service...our waiter was at the bar eating some food while we were waiting for the check...none of the staff really smiled, just bad service...

    I truly do not understand the other reviews of Cafe Fondue. I went in to Cafe Fondue on July 16 fully expecting to have the worst experience ever and actually had an enjoyable night. My fiance and I ordered the 4 course meal Americana. Our waitress Ashley was fast and polite! She promptly brought out our Gruyere cheese fondue with french bread, rye bread, apples and grapes to dip in it. It was gone in minutes! we loved it! After that, we were served a delicious spring salad mix with a honey dijon vinaigrette. After that, we had our filet mignon, jumbo shrimp and boneless chicken served with a plate full of fresh veggies. We enjoyed cooking our food in the hot oil and dipping it in the wonderful array of sauces. My favorite was the garlic butter and orange sweet and sour. Our flaming dessert of milk chocolate was eaten with fresh strawberries, pineapple, pound cake, banana, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Overall, it was a great place to celebrate our one year anniversary! We will definitely be coming back! Everything was served fresh and fast. The service was impeccable and water glasses were always kept filled! You will definitely enjoy it!
