| - You have to love restaurant week! 3 to 4 course meal for $30 per person, can't beat that. This is a good place to do it too because it can get expensive!
My husband and I went to The Melting Pot for a long needed date night and I am so glad we went here. The inside of the restaurant was pleasing to the eyes, loved the wall (I so want one in my house) of wine cooler, the dim lights, and the smell of the food cooking. We get seated in a cubby hole type booth and it was perfect for us since we were looking for something romantic and intimate.
Our waiter was Jason and he was very attentive on everything! Was a little slow on refilling our drinks once the restaurant started getting full, but that's ok he did a great job on everything else. He was ready to answer all our questions, and if he didn't know the exact wine that was used in one of our meals, he made a point to find out even after we told him it was ok he didn't have to find out for us.
Our 1st Course: Drinks! What else? :) I ordered the Strawberry Blonde Martini (it was on special $7) and it was amazing! I can't even tell you everything that was in it, but it was the right mix of strawberry vodka, champagne, and other things. I just couldn't have 1. My husband got a mango margarita thing frozen with sugar on the rim. He liked it, but not enough to get another one. I can't remember everything that was in it, but he said it wasn't bad at all.
Our 2nd Course: The starter....Feng Shui cheese sauce. Let me break this down for you because this is not your normal cheese fondue. The main cheese is Havarti cheese, a dry white wine base, sake, other cheeses, and topped off with a sprinkle of scallions. For dipping, you are served a bowl of veggies (carrots, celery bits, and cauliflower), assorted bread bits, and green granny smith apples. The only thing that it didn't go well with was the cauliflower. It was the best I ever had! I can't describe how good this was and you get a lot of the cheese sauce too. We were able to dip everything without running out of cheese.
Our 3rd Course: Salad My husband and I both got a cesar salad that was perfect! It was a traditional cesar, but had roasted pine nuts and homemade croutons.
Our 4th Course: The Entrees They give you 4 or 5 different styles to cook your food, but we decided to spend the extra $6 for the Coq au Vin style. Here's what's in it: fresh herbs, mushrooms, garlic, imported spices, and a hearty Burgundy Wine. It went great with everything we cooked in it. I had The Coastal which included shrimp, teriyaki marinated sirloin, lobster and spinach filled ravioli, boneless chicken breast and salmon. My husband had The Pacific (I think) which included: key lime shrimp, sushi grade tuna on a bed of carrot slices, filet minon, chicken (had some orange stuff on it) and dumplings. EVERYTHING was amazing and so full of flavor. You also get 6 different dipping sauces. 3 comes in a clover tray for dipping that had a teriyaki dipping sauce, a mustard curry sauce, and a kind of duck sauce that had a little spice to it. The other 3 sauces was a spicy cocktail sauce, a blue cheese kind of sauce, and a spinach cream cheese sauce that was great on pretty much everything. Along with the entrees, you get an endless bowl of broccoli, mushroom caps, and cubed red potatoes that were pretty good.
The 5th Course: Dessert!! We were torn between the Disarono white chocolate or the Yin and Yang. We finally decided on the Yin and Yang dessert. It normally comes with dark chocolate, but I am allergic to the dark chocolate so we were able to sub for milk chocolate. It comes with a piece of cheese cake with a cherry on top, rice krispy treats, oreo and graham cracker crusted marshmallows, strawberries, bananas, brownies, and pound cake. All of these are endless as well. Everything was fantastic except for the marshmallows, I don't like them too much.
I can't believe how full I was!! I didn't think that I would have to roll myself out of there based on the food provided since it was all in small portions, but man I was stuffed! I HIGHTLY recommend this place for a romantic dinner or to celebrate a birthday for 2.
