| - I've been to the Melting Pot multiple times over the last few years, and I've never been disappointed. However, I was slightly disappointed last night because I had made reservations, but they gave our table away because my friend was stuck in traffic and was 10 minutes late. They refused to seat me until my friend arrived, so we had to wait an additional 10 minutes after her arrival to be seated. Why bother making a reservation?
But this is a trivial matter compared to the overall experience. I usually don't order an entree unless I'm bringing someone who's never been there before. I'm more than happy with just cheese, chocolate, and drinks (and this cuts the cost down considerably). But we decided to go all out and order all 3 courses. We started with the Fiesta cheese, which is my favorite. There is salsa in the cheese, and jalapenos are added to your liking. Dippers include bread, tortilla chips, apples, broccoli, and carrots. Next, we both ordered the individial filet mignon meal. We chose Coq au Vin for the cooking style, which has a red wine base. I was a little worried that it would have too much of a wine taste, but it didn't at all. It also comes with mushrooms and some other things for flavoring (celery, I'm guessing). Entrees also come with potatoes (put them in early - they take forever to cook), broccoli, and more mushrooms. The filet meal also comes with 5 dipping sauces. My favorite is the spinach dip-like sauce, and the teriyaki is good as well. We went with the Flaming Turtle for dessert. Ours didn't seem to have any caramel in it, but it was delicious nonetheless. Dippers included Rice Krispie Treats (my favorite), brownie bites, blondie bites, marshmallows, angel food cake, pineapple, strawberries, and bananas. All of it was delicious and we left feeling like we'd never eat again.
Service is always excellent at the Melting Pot. Our server, Dalles, was attentive and knowledgable about the menu. It was a busy Saturday night and she stayed on top of things.
I noticed that some reviewers don't like the location of the restaurant. I guess it is a little odd, being located inside Station Square mall. But I've never even noticed that there aren't any windows, and I've always just considered the dim lighting part of the ambiance.
The cost is rather high (our bill was over $100 for two people), but the Melting Pot offers specials such as Ladies' Night, 80s Night (with 80s prices), and Late Night Fondue after 9pm. They send out an email about once a month to let you know what's happening that month.
Overall, it was another great experience, and I'll be back many times to come!
