| - Mmmmm. Melting Pot. Fondue. Dipping stuff in cheese and chocolate. Fun!
Went here for my birthday. Cozy, romantic atmosphere. Knowledgeable servers and attentive staff in general. Clean.
If you love cheese and dipping unlimited amounts of stuff in it, then this place is for you.
Ordered the swiss cheese dip to share with my two friends who joined me. We made a meal out of it by also getting salads. We're more of a budget-conscious crowd and this place can get pricey quick - so we tried to be a little careful. You paid for the dip, but got unlimited amounts of bread, green apples and veggies for dippin'.
Huge selection of alcohol. Many of these drink choices were expensive, but I got the blackberry margarita ( I think that is what it was called) for $8 and it was enough to wash down my meal.
For dessert, we got a smores type selection with chocolate/graham dip with marshmallows, cheesecake, graham crackers, and strawberries for dipping.
All and all, we were very satisfied...and quite full because we kept getting refills on the bread dippers for the cheese.
One of my friends couldn't stop staring at the fireplace, which is one of those modern deals where the fire looks like it's moving in a circle or something. She kept mentioning how cool it was and how she couldn't stop staring at it. LOL.
There are two main reasons why this place doesn't get five stars (but four is still pretty damn good). One being price. The other being overall food selection. The menu itself wasn't very diverse, or at least nowhere near as diverse as the alcohol selection. There were a lot of shellfish type items and some of us are allergic to that stuff. I was tempted to get some steak dippers, but the price would have really skyrocketed there for us.
The Melting Pot is perfect for special occasions or a fancy meal from that hot date. Their hours are limited, so it's easier to make reservations online. You could easily lose track of time there and hang out for hours getting refills on dippers and drinks. Good times!
