Always worth it!!!! – I've been dining at this restaurant for years now and tried almost every fondue and LOVED almost all of them. This is my favorite restaurant by far in San Francisco because of the food, the full bar, the wonderful wine list that the wait staff are happy to help with, and the service is always wonderful. I would definitely RECOMMEND ordering cheese, meat and chocolate fondue AND all the side dishes to dip AND trying a new wine. It may seem a little more expensive, but if you're going to go you might as w... read more

Great Place to Try Something Different – This is a really cool place to check out, especially if you want something a little different than the norm. This was our first fondu experience, and it was made easier by a very friendly and helpful waitstaff. We started out with a bread and cheese fodue, then moved to cubes of meat that you dip in the hot oil for 30 seconds or so to cook it. Then you dip it in one of the many sauces they bring out for you. The main course also comes with a few sides. This is a great place for sharin... read more

A touch of the Alps – We bring our nephew and niece here every time they come into town and they love it. This is the place the appreciate a true European experience. Bridgette is the wine expert and can guide you through a fantastic selection of wines to go with both the Cheese and other fondues. Take your time, enjoy the atmosphere, and soak in a bit of Switzerland.

great fondue!! – What a cool place!! We had the Fondue Original and the Beef Fondue Bacchus. What a treat. I am glad I read all the good reviews. It seems to me that all the cheap people complain about the price! It is totally affordable. $40 per Person including Tip and Tax! Huh... Yes, the Matterhorn is now my favorite Restaurant. Ciao

Dip into fondue at this Alpine hideaway on busy Van Ness. – In Short Lodged in the depths of a modern building, this authentically Swiss surprise is nearly entirely paneled in glowing blond wood for a true chalet vibe. Cute waiters roam about the surprisingly large dining room serving happy twosomes and big groups the fun that is fondue. In addition to the dip, Matterhorn offers Wiener schnitzel and other entrees like chicken and potatoes, or veal cordon bleu. If the chocolate fondue is too much for dessert, try the creme br... read more

best fondue in town – If you want good fondue, thats the place to go. Reasonable prices and a great wine list on top. Highly recommended for people who want to try something new.

Good to try at least once – The reviews hit it on the nose. Service is bad, but it's not intentional. They're robots, moving very fast, forgetting the essence of customer service. Nothing was explained to us. You get various condiments and sauces with your meat /cheese fondue. Would be nice if they pointed out some of the different sauces and advice on how to create delicious bites. Meat pot is too small for a group of 6. Colored sticks would be good so to can tell which stick belongs to you. Corkage is too much for the qual... read more

Great Date place – I tried Matterhorn for the first time and loved it. While dining there as a group may be the thing to do, dining as a couple works out just as well if not better. We started with a single order of the cheese fondue; it was good but perhaps a little too strong on the taste of wine. We continued to the thin slices of beef and that was excellent. Finally we ended the meal with some fruit dipped in chocolate and some coffee, quite the treat. The service was excellent and very helpful on the whole it was a grea... read more
