My family has been going for years, so when I heard they close, I thought I'd think again about the old times. It had a nostalgic taste, not much has changed. The fondue is very good and I had a good time.

We were so excited to try something different what a complete disappointment! It's over priced and completely LAME! Don't waste your time. The staff was pleasant but that's all the positive I can do. If it wasn't for the free 1/2 carafe of wine from the table next to us, we would have left after the salad!

This was our first time at Fondue Fred and was so disappointed to hear that they are closing along with the neighboring stores. We would have loved to return to Fondue Fred’s many times. The food was great and the experience was fun!! Too bad!!

If you want a meal that guarantees a communicable table fondue does the trick. If you have a group of five or more they have good group deal. The atmosphere is great and the food is yummy

Get in before they're gone! : . The dinner fondues are amazing. Chocolate wasn't that great, but it was good. Tough to go wrong with melted chocolate.

A visit to this restaurant provides a unique and cozy experience in an old warehouse setting with a cool interior. Despite the minor hiccup of a longer wait time upon arrival, the food was delicious and very filling. The fondue options are commendable and served quickly. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a variety of dining occasions. While some guests experienced issues with wait times and food quality, overall, the majority of reviewers recommend this restaurant for its good food, great service, and reasonable prices. Consider giving this place a chance for a tasty meal in a cozy setting.

My family has been visiting this restaurant for years, so when I heard it was closing, I decided to go one last time to reminisce about the old days. The atmosphere had a nostalgic feel, and not much seemed to have changed. The fondue was excellent, and I really enjoyed my time there.

Could be a fun place if the food was better. Trader Joe’s fondue is yummier. I think the chocolate ‘fondue’ is just Hershey’s syrup.

This is definitely a hole in the wall place but it’s pretty good! Our server was super busy but still did a great job at making sure we were taken care of. It’s definitely pricey for what you get which is why I think it’s just a good one time thing.

Sadly it is going away like so many other iconic places in the bay area.

This was our first time here! It was a slow night, Wednesday and I must say I loved the environment and the service was great. Portions are HUGE, so don't think you have to order a lot. In position. A nice little indoor plaza. It is a unique experience.

I love this place. The owners are quite awesome! I've come here for a few years (who still come together) and the cozy atmosphere (I love to eat outside) was great, even if you want to eat outside its still something that is in a closed area, so it's not windy. I lost how many times I'm here, even double dated.

The atmosphere is absolutely perfect here... Great for first appointments, group dinners, or just a good place to take a bite. I would very much welcome giving this place a chance if you already had

The fondue is delicious and the surroundings are warm. However, we had to wait over 30 minutes until the waiter service our order and another 30 minutes. Besides, a delicious place to come with friends and family!

Love this place. Trying to go as many times as possible before it has to close for demolition. We always order the garlic and the meatballs. When we are hungry, it is enough for two.

The fondue at this restaurant is tasty and the atmosphere is cozy. However, we experienced long wait times, both for the waiter to take our order and for our food to be served. Despite this, it's a great place to enjoy with friends and family!
