Been twice. Once was a novelty and enjoyed it. It wasn't cheap, 4 people for $170. We did the whole thing. The following year, based on our time we repeated the event with relatives. It was $ 220, and we all left hungry. We were sorry we went. We ended up at Subway in the renaissance mall to get more food. It was an experience. Also, the first year was packed, the second year it was nearly empty.

LaFondue

Although you cook your own food in the pots at the table my husband and nephew kept asking the waitress to send out the chef. Our second visit turned into a fun nite, although we all left hungry. My advice, find another place....

My experience and opinion.....my wife and two children went there and didn't like it. The space at the booth we sat at was too small and uncomfortable. The food was too pricy for so little.

I think if you're in the mood for self cooking at your table the best place to be at is Cooks Restaurant. You'll get a complete grill built into you table. It is spacious and comfortable. You can grill your steak at your table and you sure won't be disappointed at the amount of food you'll get. The prices are very good.

You can also opt not to cook your steak since Chef Pedro will then cook it for you. They have the best side dishes as well. Fresh Spinach, mushrooms, and peppers in a wonderful sauce. Also fresh gold beets in a yellow sauce.

If you're in front of La Fondue just walk towards and passed El Gaucho at the next intersection/crossing. If you're facing the opposite direction of the traffic it'll be on second floor of the green two story building at your left hand side. The entrance is where the black canopy is at.
