| - I love fondue! It's a big tradition at our house and when I heard about the melting pot I really wanted to try it! The problem is, this place is so damn expensive. I saw a coupon for it on social living, so finally decided to check it out.
The service was great! We had Dame, he was funny and attentive. You could tell they had a "shtick" but he added his own twists into it to make it less boring.
The food was average. The portions were small.... My boyfriend can eat a lot, and i could tell he was disappointed when we got our plate full of meat. He probably could have ate the whole thing himself! We had filet, terraki sirloin, chicken, shrimp, and raviolis. The raviolis were probably the size of a quarter. You only had maybe about 4 ounces of each meat. Both the steaks tasted the same. No seasoning on any meats, and sauces were average as well. You do however get unlimited veggies, and we filled up on those! The most amazing thing of the night? Broccoli. Before the discount our bill was $163 dollars for two people. I was totally sticker shocked. We had one bottle of wine, and no dessert. For that price, we could have gone to Chez for an amazing meal! Whatever. After my $40 dollar discount my bill was still $90 dollars.... Again, all we ordered was a $30 dollar bottle of wine. The receipt was really hard to read, and reAlly confusing. The company added 18% on to our bill. We left Dame an even 20% for his wonderful service and left. All in all we paid $130 dollars with our discount. This just seems so unreasonable to me for the amount of food, and the quality. I could go to the grocery store and buy all these same items and make fondue at my house! I will not return, even with a coupon. There are much, MUCH better places to eat for the price.
As for the people who are commenting on here about getting raw food... Yes they serve you raw food and you cook it yourself. It's called fondue. Enjoy the experience! If you don't like it, don't eat here.
