After all this time, I finally get to try The Melting Pot! On our recent honeymoon to Paris, I was going to try fondue for the FIRST TIME! I was sooo excited and then sooo sadly disappointed. There were so many restrictions. I didn't get to really try anything except dipping my flavorless meats into a boiling pot of oil. I didn't enjoy my experience at all.. So the husband promised to take me to The Melting Pot when we got back to the states. So here I am!
We went with a 4 course dinner.
Started off with the cheddar cheese pot and added Italian meats. The cheese was so tasty! It was cheesy with a hint of beer. But the bitter beer essence made the dish even more gratifying - and I don't like beer! This course usually only comes with bread, vegetables, and apples. But I am so glad we added the meats. They're excellent with the cheese.
The second course was the salad. I ordered a Caesar and the hubby ordered the house salad. The Caesar was much better of a choice. But im biased.. I LOVE Caesar's salad! The house salad, although the sauce is homemade, tasted like French dressing. It was.. plain.
The third course was a broth fondue. We went with the mojo flavor which is both garlicky and lemony. It was great and went well with all our meats. We ordered a Classic and the Fondue Delight to give us the most variety of meats and seafood. So delicious. My husband was also a big big fan of the Garlic and Wine powder they gave us to add as seasoning. With 3 fondue forks each, we cooked meats and seafood at the same time. Seafood cooks faster so you get to still eat while waiting for your chicken and red meat to cook.
The fourth course was dessert fondue and we went with The Original. It was chocolatey with chunks of peanut butter. It went well with everything! We also added the cheesecake and raspberry. Delicious.
I was solo happy with my experience and I would definitely come back! I loved this place. With all our additions and sangria to boot, the meat ended up costing us ~$150 but that's a steal for all the food we got!! We left stuffed and happy.
