| - Located in Boca Park at the corner of Charleston and Ft. Apache. Accross from Office Depot.
A great place for a fun night out. Be it an intimate dinner for two or for a large group like our entire office, the Melting Pot is a fun and delicious way to spend an evening. Honestly, even at a bare minimum, expect to spend at least three hours there.
We went for one of the the pre-made combinations called "The Big Night Out", since it had everything that we wanted. Filets/Duck/Lobster YUM
The combinations consist of three courses.
- The Appetizers - a selection of fresh veggies, breads and cheeses with your choice of fondue using a variety of cheeses. Cheese on Cheese... it's such a delicious crime YUM
-The main course - Consisting of fresh meats(Filets, Chicken, Duck) and possibly seafood(Lobster, Shrimp, etc) depending on which combo you ordered. And your choice of stock. We went for the coq au vin which is chicken broth with scallions, red wine, etc.
-Desserts - We went for the Yin Yang, which is a variety of brownies,marshmallows (Graham Covered/Oreo Covered) and fruits. The best part is the fondue consisting of white and dark chocolate arranged into a Yin/Yang symbol. Awesome presentation.
Our server was extremely helpful as this was our first visit and patiently and humorously explained everything to us.
One thing that made my eyebrow raise though is the fact that they charged us the full adult price for my 8 year old nephew. So just be aware of this if you are planning on bringing kids.
If I recall correctly the combos are about 75$
- Reservations are HIGHLY recommended. As mentioned earlier, dinner here takes a few hours, so they can only serve a few groups per night.
- This place is always a great date idea if you want some guaranteed quality time toget to know your partner. (Just make sure you can entertain her/him for the entire 3 hours or else it'll be torture)
- To complement the Yin/Yang dessert, they also have a Chocolate Martini that is also presented in Yin/Yang fashion.
