| - This is the second time I've been to a Melting Pot restaurant (the first was in Scottsdale, AZ), and this experience was just as wonderful as the first.
I love the idea of this restaurant - it's definitely not just a meal, it's a dining experience. It's my favorite place to go for "date night". It gives me a good excuse to get dressed up! Here are a few tips: first of all, you should make reservations in advance, and be sure to request one of the private booths. They have a little curtain that closes and makes your table really intimate and romantic! Secondly, do not eat much for lunch - the meals are very filling! Third, you need to plan on AT LEAST two hours for your meal. There are usually four courses, and each one takes a while to prepare and eat.
The food is always delicious - each course comes with a wide variety of "dippers", and you get a choice of the types of cheese, chocolate, etc. so that every time you go, it can be a new experience. I also highly recommend the drinks - the "Yin/Yang Chocolate Martini" is to die for!
This is by far my favorite romantic restaurant. The only problem is that it is pretty expensive. Luckily, last week was Arizona Restaurant Week, so the meals were only $30 per person! (Still pretty expensive, but we went for our 2 year anniversary, so we splurged a bit.) I would like to look into their Happy Hour specials sometime, since I've heard good things about them.
Overall, if you're looking for a relaxing, romantic, unique dining experience, you can't beat The Melting Pot!
