This was my first fondue restaurant experience. I would definitely recommend the Melting Pot. All of the staff was very courteous. We had a large, loud, birthday crowd and our our waiter and waitress were very patient and helpful. We had called ahead and reserved so they had sat us in the large back room which was perfect for this rowdy bunch! We all ordered the Couples special which included 3 courses for around $42, which is an excellent price. We had an odd number of people, but just ordered an extra couples special and shared all around. There was more than enough food! I really enjoyed the cheese fondue and LOVED the chocolate desert fondue. Since we had a larger group, we were able to try several of the cheese and chocolate options and all were great. I wasn't a fan of the meat course, although the shrimp, chicken, and beef pieces looked fresh and perfect. This was a personal issue and not a fault of the Melting Pot. I just don't think I am a fan for the flavor of boiled beef - it's not exactly comparable to steak on the grill! I would definitely head back for desert any day though!
