The Melting Pot

User Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

I have been to a couple locations now and I still say that what you are paying for is the gimmick, not good quality food. I will say that the experience is worth it, maybe once for a special occasion. If you get a full meal for two people you are paying over $60, and that's without alcohol. I can pay less than that for a higher quality meal at a place that actually cooks the food for me. The dessert is exceptional, and that would be the only part of the menu I would recommend.

Just to be clear on what you are paying for: chopped up fruit and veggies, pieces of bread, and raw meat. anything that requires cooking (meat, potatoes, etc.) you cook yourself at the table. The quality of the bread, fruit and veggies was disappointing. The (very small) cup of vegetables consisted of celery, cauliflower, and carrots. I've never been to a fine restaurant that considers celery a vegetable, generally they are chopped up on salads or served with wings.

There is the cheese course in which you dip, then the oil course in which you do the cooking, and then the dessert course where you are dipping in chocolate. Dessert is made up of marshmallows, some fruit, and tiny pieces of cake. Again, for what they are charging, the quality of what you are dipping leaves much to be desired, but the melted chocolate makes even the cheapest marshmallow taste heavenly.

Amazing dining experience. If you want to have an AWESOME dinner, where you spend time talking to your guests and enjoying delicious food, this is the place to go! This is the MOST Amazing Fondue Journey ever!!! The martini's are out of this world and reasonably priced too! Even if you just go for cheese and chocolate, completely worth it!!! Great date night. Great re-connecting with friends night. Great family night! Go Fondue!!! Best dining experience in town!!!

Something you have to experience!: The restaurant is cozy enough, it could use some interior modifications, but your here for the food and the fun. It’s a great place for a date, as it is intimate, different and tasty. While I realized it is a fondue house, I did not realize I would be cooking my own food when the entrée came around. So it broke down like this: first we got a big bowl of oozy cheese that came with mixed bread, vege’s and granny smith apples, which we dipped into the cheese YUM, then we were served some boring salads (trust me no comes here for the salad), then came our entrée, I got 9oz of fillet mignon that came with ½ of a large portabella mushroom --- raw, which I got to cook in our boiling cauldron of spiced white wine—freaking delicious! It is served with a dizzying array of sauces to complement your order. And if you have the appetite of a quarterback, you can get the chocolate fondue for dessert, which looked heavenly, but I had neglected to leave any room for. Final analysis: a great place to celebrate, take guests to, or a date. But please don’t tell everyone, as it already gets pretty busy there.
