| - 2.75 maybe....
I recently went to the Melting Pot for a company outing at the Melting Pot. I have been to fondue places before, and I can't say I'm a fan of them in general.... this experience didn't do anything to help that cause.
We started out with three cheese fondues- spinach and artichoke, wisconsin trio, and cheddar. The spinach and artichoke was alrigth, but the wisconsin was beer based, and it REALLY tasted like beer. The cheddar was really sharp, and seemed like it had alchol in it too.
For our main course we got all the meats (pork, shrimp, chicken, beef, ravioli, pot stickers). Of all of them, the pork loin was probably the best, but still not anything too special to write home about. It also came with bottomless veggies (potatoes, squash, mushrooms)
For dessert we got the yin/yang chocolate, fried turtle, and baileys cream dream. Again, nothing stood out to me as that great, though they gave you a lot of nice things to dip in the chocolate (rice krispies treats, cheesecake, brownies, strawberries, bananas).
Considering the company paid for the meal, I was fine, but this place is pretty expensive. And I can't say paying this much to make my own food sits that well with me. This meal is really like a 1-2 hour event. I'm sorry, but if I were really hungry, I don't think I'd have the patience for this place. It's a novel concept, but I just don't get it.
