Fondue the Right Way
Not too long ago my friend took me to La Fondue in San Juan Capistrano with her exclaiming that "Melting Pot Sucks! (although their chocolate fondue's not bad)."
First off, their decoration is AMAZING! Especially their chairs! All the chairs are shaped into something interesting. For example, the chair in the Ladies room is gold-colored, the top shaped like a swan and the legs are a pair of feet wearing Ballet shoes. They have knight-themed chairs, etc. I suggest going to their website and looking at the photos :)
So began our amazing 3-course meal (plus salad). We got the Fondue Feast (For 2) and shared it among 3 people. This item is $92 and it's plenty for three people, really.
First comes the salad. We got the Chef's Salad, which comes with "Chef's Rolls" which my friend could not go without.
And then there was CHEESE! We obviously went with the Pesto & Cognac, since we love pesto (doesn't everyone?)
Comes with bread and various vegetables.
The cons: NOT ENOUGH of this goodness! we were scraping the pot with whatever bread/veggie remained.
By this point we were already full. But more to go. And we can handle it ...
So I like my meat grilled, not boiled. So we got "The Grill" which is one of the things that puts this place over The Melting Pot.
They took our pot away and brought a small black grill and a little black spatula.
Here was our feast:
Chicken Japonaise
Teriyaki Sirloin
Buffalo
Wild Savage Duck
Wild Boar
Private Reserve Filet Mignon
They give you 6 dipping sauces. And as much garlic as you want.
The Chocolate Fondue ... well, chocolate is mostly always delicious, isn't it? :)
Their rice krispies balls are generally the hit, and they give only one for each person :<
