For our first date I was asked to choose a restaurant. La Fondue has been featured on the T.V. reality show "" Blind Date ""....not living to far away we agreed to give it a try.\r
At first we were not confortable. The waiter must have felt it and was very helpful to explain the strange and simple menu. He convinced us to order the "" Complete Dinner "" with a bottle of red Bordeaux.\r
-We started with a small dish of cheese melting over a candle where we dipped in some cubes of stale bread and sour pickles....according to the server the ""one day old "" bread does not crumble into the hot melting cheese...and the pickles ""cornichons"" imported from France , help to clean up your taste buds......very good !\r
-Second course: a basket of warm french bread ( baguette ) and a green salade with fresh sliced mushroom....no choice for the dressing !....only the house dressing !......excellent.....you have to like garlic !\r
-Third and main course: we decided on a combination plate of beef, chicken, shrimp, scallops and veggies with four or five sauces to dip in.....everything is cooked in a "" fondue vat "" built in at the center of the table....we choose to ""fondue"" in a broth with a wine base versus ""deep fry"".....I guess it was a good choice..... at the end we were offered some bowls to drink the soup that we just made.... what a great finish!\r
-Fourth or fifth course: what can be more romantic than a dish of dark chocolate melting above a candle?....and to dip in .... strawberries.... oranges... bananas.... apples.... and more.....++++\r
.....After two hours of FUN and great pleasures we felt very relaxed......we got the check....we decided to split it....for the unique food + very good french wine + tax + attentive service....I had to pay sixty five dollars...not an everyday dinner.....but a memorable experience....I' m ready to do it again !\r
....."" fondue "" ......means ....to melt .....
