In Saratoga - "La Fondue."  We've been there many many times. They have traditional oil, vegetable broth, or a grill. It's wonderful!

  I've eaten at La Fondue several times.  I like it a lot, but be warned, it
  is slightly pricey.  They feature cheese fondue, meat fondue and chocolate
  fondue.

  I ususally order a combination dinner.  Those run anywhere from about $20
  a person to about $30 a person, depending on the selection of meat.  The
  dinner consists of your choice of any of their cheese fondues as an
  appetizer, my favorites are the mushroom, and cajun.  Next comes a salad,
  usually a choice of spinich, cobb, or mushroom.  I don't particularly
  love any of the dressings they offer, but that's OK.

  Next is the meat fondue.  There are about 4 ways you can get this, either
  with a table grill(scandinavian style), traditional canola oil, some kind
  of bullion, and a wine fondue (red or white -red adds more flavor.).
  The last one is actually poaching, rather than frying.  There are a
  variety of meat combinations, beef, chicken, turkey.  There are also
  various fish choices, and also some include more exotic game
  meats.  I usuaully get the basic combition (beef, chicken, turkey, fish) in
  wine, since it ends up being "lighter" than oil based.  You also get some
  vegetables with it.  The cheese course includes bread, fruit, and veggies.
  The combination dinner is completed with a choice of dark, milk, or white
  chocolate fondue, with a choice of liquors added - creme de methe, amaretto,
  irish creme, grand marnier amoung them.  A variety of fruits, marshmellows,
  and other treats are provided for dipping.

  It takes 2-3 hours to get through a dinner there, by the way.  I go usually
  when I want to take a long relaxing evening.

  Incidently, they don't always have everything, and I think they modify the
  menu quite a bit.
