Cafe Fondue - Merrillville Restaurant

very nice dinner where you get into the act
I have been to this restaurant many times with large groups and small groups and have always had excellent service and attention paid to the details. Our meals have been consistently good and very filling! I don't know how you could go away hungry! The variety of meats and sauces is great. The cheese and chocolate are delicious. I disagree with the negative reviews and definitely feel this unique and fun restaurant is worth trying for oneself. Very enjoyable dining experience for this area.

Great place, cozy Euro style, fun place and romantic
Went with a date and had a great time. The cheese fondue was exactly how it was when I had it in Europe. Friendly staff with good service. I also don't understand the above comments for a fondue resturant, which I've been to a fewq the price for the four coarse dinners are extreamly reasonable

Casual, Cozy, Elegant, Fun, Loud and Great for People Watching
So many choices for your fondue, everyone is bound to find something they like including steak, salads, dipping vegetables, seafood and other choices. Save room to the flaming dessert, a treat that will light up the eyes of your family. Not sure why the other reviewers didn't like this place, but give them a chance and you may be very surprised. If you are not a fun loving person, then this may not be the place for you.

Awful...save yourself
I can't claim to be a fondue freak or anything, but this was a horrible fondue experience. The basic cheese fondue will cost you about $25 for two. For that price, you get fondue from a bag (not made fresh), cut up day old hamburger buns, and unappetizing fruit. When you are done, you will then get a salad of wilted lettuce that clearly came from a bag as well. The service is horrible. The waiters huddled at the bar and stared at my wife the whole time. Our fondue forks came apart at the handles mid-meal. We left hungry after the appetizer and went to Boston Market. I hope these guys get their act straight soon, or they will be out of business.

Fun for a one timer.
Went for a night out with the girls. We were impresses with the cheese fondue and the desert, but not with any of our main dishes. The price seemed a bit outragious for the very small portion of meat and/or fish they give you ($26.95 for a very small bit of filet mignon and a few scallops. While that does include a very lame dinner salad, cheese fondue with bread chunks and chocolate fondue desert). It really seemed a shame to be deepfrying in oil small bits of unseasoned filet mignon on a stick. However, we did have a good time and were glad we went. However we all agreed we wouldn't be back.
Recommended: Cheese fondue appitizer comes with all dinners. Best part.

Simply Amazing
It's fun in a fancy environment. Good for two or a party. Only problems I had is both times I went there, the upper balcony was having a seminar and it was rather annoying to hear about heart attacks during my meal.
