| - I have been to every Melting Pot in the valley. I would go to one every day if I could. Better yet, I would love to have one of those little stoves built right into the middle of my kitchen island, and somehow do this at home. But ya know, it just would not be the same. The service at Melting Pot is awesome and the ambiance is relaxing. And I would need the funny and quirky bartender... things that would be missing if you opted to DIY.
I am very happy to see this franchise only a 5 - 10 minute drive away. It is a great date night place for someone special (make sure they are real special because it is pricey). There are booths for privacy if you request it. The setting is romantic for couples, and if you are with friends it can be fun.
We usually go for The Big Night Out. Its the four course dinner deal that includes the cheese fondue, salads, an entree, and the fondue chocolate dessert. The price is steep but remember it is priced for 2, and varies depending if you order lobster. I would also spend the extra $$ for either their Coq au Vin or Mojo cooking broths. I have not had their standard cooking broths so cannot tell what the difference is but I can say I love the flavor put out by these two broths, especially the Mojo. Expect to spend about 80-95 for two minimum, but you will most likely spend over $100 not including tip.
If you are on a budget, then just come for cheese or dessert fondue. Your experience will still be wonderful and your wallet will thank you. I honestly would not come here just for the entree. It will not be filling enough without adding the cheese fondue. If you haven't been there in awhile then you should know, they updated their plateware from those sectioned TIN plates (makes you feel like you are eating out of a camping plate...or dog bowl). They now have real plates, much more classy and suited to the dining experience.
