Dinner here is an experience, not only do they do fondue but they also have meals, so you can have your choice for a meal if you feel like fondue wont be enough. They specialize in cheese fondue but they have meat oil fondues as well which is like pretty much cooking your own meal. Their dessert is a chocolate fondue with an assortment of fruits and marshmellows to dip inside the chocolate. The portions are large and they will fill you up. Love it, go once a year atleast.

The Matterhorn has the most amazing fondue I have ever tasted. I lived in Switzerland for three years and moved back to the bay area and this fondue is the best I have tasted in the U.S. They provide Valet Parking and the service is great. Highly reccomend!!

Love this restaurant. Brings back memories of those fondue parties I used to have in the 1970s. Selection is great.

It was nice to find a fondue restaurant in San Francisco. Parking was a little tough, but we were able to find a spot four blocks away. As we walked in, the atmosphere looked inviting--dim lighting with a hint of red glow; wine glasses and the smell of gruyere cheese. We stood at the front, like one usually does, and an older man approached us and asked, "Reservation?" "Uh, no...." The restaurant was half empty. The man made a huge fuss, as if he would have to go out of his way to get us a table. Well, he picked up the menus and seated us right away--of course. We ordered the cheese fondue, but the meat fondue looked very good as it wafted by. Next time we'll probably get that one. Our neighbors were mostly tourists or marina locals. People were nice enough--I think. In any case, the same man came by to ask us how we were and I asked for another half bottle of wine. He paused as if that wasn't his job and almost didn't acknowledge my request, but then he decided to take our empty bottle and hand it to one of the very nice waitresses. The bill was huge; the food was good and rich; the atmosphere was nice; and the "vibe" was not so hot. Pros: It's fondue! Cons: Price

After having real fondue in Switzerland last year, I can honestly say that this is the best fondue I've had in the states! There were many varieties of cheeses to choose from, but if it's your first time, try "The Original", it's made of Swiss and Gruyere cheeses and is superb! A huge basket of baguette bread to dip comes with the order as well. We also tried the meat fondue, where you dip raw meat or fish into boiling oil or veg broth. The meat cooks in 15-30 seconds, I swear! This is also delicious and comes with dipping sauces and sides of veggies, fruit and marinated olives I highly recommend this restuarant if you want authentic Swiss Fondue served in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Enjoy! Pros: Authentic dishes, extensive wine and beer list, great service and decor Cons: parking

I was very disappointed with this restaurant. The ambience and the decor was very nice and cozy, but the cheese fondue was not good at all! You can't even taste the cheese in the fondue and it was extremely bitter and overcooked. It tasted like cheap white wine with burnt cheese. YUCK!!! On top of that it is way overpriced. Here is an idea for you fondue lovers. Go to your local grocery store, buy some good quality cheeses (look for the fondue recommended label), a bottle of white wine, a baguette and some garlic. Go home and make fondue yourself cause trust me it will taste much better than this restaurant. Pros: Decor, Cozy Cons: Cheese fondue, Long wait for fondue, Parking

My boyfrend & I return again and again to Matterhorn. The decor & ambiance make us feel like we've travelled to a cozy lodge in Switzerland for dinner! The service is fabulous- everyone is very friendly and warm. They have a large variety of fondues and everything we've tried has been delicious! The wine list offers a large variety of wines, including some great Swiss wines. Pros: Fondue, Service, Ambiance Cons: Parking can be tough

I dined at Matterhorn this evening, and had a horrible experience. We probably saw the waitress, all of 3 times at our table. She forgot part of our order and was nowhere to be found most of the night. We ordered the fondue for 2, and a bottle of wine... total was about $120, and definitely not worth the price. I don't mind paying for good food, but this was straight out of a dorm cafeteria. Worst of all, the place smells of old oil from everyone cooking at the table. My clothes and jacket have that burnt oil smell even hours later. Very gross. VERY DISSAPOINTED... spend your money elsewhere..
