fondue, fondue – just superb! Best dinner experience ever.. Good job Matterhorn. Choose a variety of Cheese Fondue and Beef Fondues. A lot of goodies with it. The Restaurant is good for children over 8 years old. Please do not bring toddlers! we had extra a babysitter, so do the same.

Over rated – This place is over rated. Although the ambiance was nice, it took forever for the host to get my reservation info from me as soon as I walked in. I'd say I was waiting for a good 10 minutes for the host to come back to the front. (And the restaurant isn't very big).The beef fondue was a bit bland and cheese fondue was so-so.

over-rated – It was an experience but I wouldn't go back. Service was very slow and the food wasn't as impressive as the restaurant was rated in this web site. I believe the quality of cheese could improve taste.

Lower quality than expected – I went to this restaurant with my Swiss boyfriend a couple of years ago and loved the place. We decided to go back a few weeks ago and found the food quality to be a lot lower. We had the traditional fondue and even I agreed it was very runny with too much garlic and alcohol. I decided to try the 'Belle Helene' for dessert and found the presentation to be good but, not impressed with the taste. Too expensive for the quality of food.

Fun-due – A group of 8 of us came to give Fondue a go. It was so much fun! We had an abundance of food -- meats, chocolates, fruits, vegetables, etc., and an immense variety of dipping sauces, all for you to prepare for yourself as you please, right in front of you. You could eat for an hour and never have the same bite twice. We brought a bunch of our own wine which was fun. Dinner ran about fifty bucks apiece but in my opinion was completely worth it. It was such a fun, interactive experience. Granted, the ambiance could u... read more

A Bit Expensive...But Yummy!!! – Overall, the Matterhorn is a wonderful experience with professional waitstaff and a very kind and friendly owner. The food is good but it's a bit on the expensive side for our budget - meaning this is a special occasion rest. for us.

Only a tourist could love it! – I had been hyping up fondue to my fiancee based on my experience at La Fondue in Saratoga. What a huge difference and disappointment! I felt like we were sitting in some fast food chain. The place was clean but had no ambiance. We only saw our waiter once and that was to place our order. He didn't even bother to offer suggestions or to further explain the our options. The food was average at best. I HIGHLY recommend making the trip to Saratoga (about an hour) for La Fondue. So worth it!!

Fantastic!! – Having had one of the best dinners of my life, I just wanted to say, that it is a shame, that most of the bad reviews for this Restaurant have to do with the corkage fee. If you can not afford to dine out, stay at home, and leave your cheap bottle of wine there too. Having worked in the industy I feel for the Restaurant. So, disregard all the unfavorable reviews, they are mostly from disgruntled cheap and classless people, who should learn how to dine out!! Good job Matterhorn, you rock..
