I've always been a fan of The Melting Pot. In every city. This was the first time here in Phoenix & my husbands first time ever. The food was (as always) awesome. We went on a Wednesday and there were 12 cars in the parking lot. We waited almost 45 in the bar and although our waiter was training someone, our service continued to decline. To his benefit, he kept apologizing and comped our $10 bottle of wine. After $130 for 2 people, I just wish the service was as good as the food.
