| - I dare you to try and leave this place hungry!! Have been many times to Melting Pot's here and out of state and its consistently great. Last night we went for Ladies Night Out, they offer all 4 courses for $35 and $5 of that goes to Susan G. Komen Foundation. They do this a few times throughout the year and other times they benefit St. Jude's Children's Hospital. A chance to eat well and contribute to a good cause? Sign me up!!
There was 3 of us and in the past they would put us at a table w/2 burners, but not this time. In the end we really didn't need different cheese/chocolates anyway.
We started with the cheese they are offering on the Big Night Out, it was some sort of french mixture with brie, gruyere, swiss, bacon, truffles, chives and wine. It was delish!! Followed that up w/house salads, I love their house dressing. Then we had our entree. If I go on a non-charity type night I never order the entree, I don't think its that good and I would prefer tp fill up on the other stuff, but it was included so we ate it. It included, 3 shrimp, 3 pieces of chick, 3 pieces of steak, 2 ravioli and a bowl of potatos, mushrooms and broccoli to throw in the pot, and 6 different sauces to try.
Last but definitely not least was the chocolate. We went with the cookies & cream, it was dark chocolate with toasted marshmallow and oreo cookie pieces. Sounds awful right? It comes with strawberries, bananas, cheesecake, brownies, pound cake, rice krispy treats, and different coated marshmallows. My oldest sister and I were soo full at this point but we couldn't make ourselves stop dipping all the yummy treats into that warm chocolate, our younger sister kept making fun of our gluttonous ways, but I didn't care.
Melting Pot is not the type of place you go weekly or monthly because I really feel like you need to be in the mood for the whole experience and for the almost painfully full feeling you will most definitely have when you leave. But its great for special occasions or to help out a good cause.
