| - Whether you love to cook or absolutely despise it, the Melting Pot caters to wanna be chefs and "I don't wanna be"chefs by offering g a fun, cozy and delicious dining experience where you are pretty much in charge of your food - and you can't mess things up! It's that simple!
Nestled in Legacy Village, the Melting Pot offers a cozy (or romantic, if you prefer) and clean atmosphere that works for date night, special occasions, or fun family time.
Each table boasts its own "hot spot" (not for WiFi -although they do offer that for free) for cooking your meal. It's "stove meets table" and becomes one.
The menu selections are sure to appeal to anyone's tastebuds, whether you're a seafood fanatic (I see food, I want to eat it), a true carnivore (I want the beef, the whole beef, and nothing but the beef), or even a chicken, sausage/pork fan. They have it all.
And then there's the fondues - both the cheese and the chocolate varieties - and if you order their all-inclusive dinner, you get the whole nine yards - a foodie's nirvana.
You begin by selecting a cheese fondue (we're fans of the beer and cheddar). It's served with a variety of bread cubes for dipping (even soft pretzel chunks), along with fresh apple slices and veggies - and if you run out of dippage, merely ask for more! At no extra charge!
Next is the salad - choices include standard or Caesar, for example- and the portions are just right.
Once you've completed sampling and dipping and sampling some more (we usually clean out the cheese bowl), the waiter cleans up your "mess" and brings out whatever flavored bouillon you choose for cooking your mains, as well as more fresh vegetables (to include red skin potatoes which I love). Let the heating and cooking games begin!
You will receive a brief "lesson" regarding how long to cook each meat or fish type (i.e. 1 minute if it swims), and each participant gets different color skewers so there's no doubt who's cooked what. Then cook, dip in one of the 5-6 dipping sauces they bring you - and enjoy! Need more veggies? Unlimited!
Once you've conquered the mains, some would say the best is yet to come - the chocolate fondue. There are about 5-6 flavors to choose from (I know - difficulties- right?!). We usually favor the turtle sundae version with pecans - and the best part? As with the vegetables - unlimited dippage! Dipping includes (but not limited to) brownies, blondies, chocolate covered marshmallows, pineapple, strawberries, bananas, Rice Krispie treats (sigh)!
And if you join the Fondue of the Month club, you'll receive a complimentary box of 6 chocolate covered strawberries to take home with you on your birthday.
So if you're looking for a non-rushed, fun, and interactive dining experience, try the Melting Pot.
