Don't waste your time. – I have been to Switzerland many times. I love fondue, and I know how to make it and what most of the Swiss cheeses are. The "traditional" fondue at Matterhorn was terrible. It tasted extremely alcoholic, and was the consistency of broth. I honestly didn't even eat it. And the sliced apple was mushy. Obviously there is no quality control here. The corkage is $20--too much in my opinion. Our waiter was very nice, but the hostess (owner?) was unwelcoming. I won't go back.

Try it...it's fun – We recently went for a friend's Birthday - the one tough part was we had 16 people and were seated at two separate tables. It worked out all the same - the Oh La La fondue was fantastic as were the beef and sausages. I would agree that the service was rather brisk but I think that's more a function of the staff actually being European where people are not "overly-polite" as most Americans (yes I am one) are used to. We had a lot of fun eating there and I think it would be a great place for a still getting... read more

Are we talking about the same restaurant – I'm rather suprised at some of the ratings I've been reading here for the Matterhorn. The service on the many occasions I've been there has been nothing short of professional and courteous. It's brisk and efficient, but not unfriendly. I've had many of the cheese fondues, and the food is generally outstanding, though the desserts need a little work. This is a simple, straightforward fondue restaurant that is, according to Swiss friends of mine, almost exactly like one would find in ... read more

GREAT COUNTRY...GREAT RESTAURANT!! – "Matterhorn Swiss Restaurant" is the BEST restaurant that I have been to in a long time. I travel for my job and I get to enjoy restaurants all over the U.S. While in San Francisco, I heard about this place and thought I'd try it. Since I lived in Switzerland for a while, I knew what type of Ethnicity I expected. Well... needless to say, I got it. The hospitality that I received was the BEST I have ever seen. So many restaurants forget this great asset in employees. I am happy to say that... read more

Don't miss the Swiss! – Great service, good cheese, comfortably elegant Swiss lodge ambience, we recommend the apples and the Riesling.

like in switzerland – Going to the Matterhorn is the next best thing to Swizterland. Authentic food, efficient service and lots of ambience. Compared to Saratogas La Fondue: the Matterhorn is the much better deal!!
