My girlfriend and I have been going to The Melting Pot for years. We had made it a regular place for our anniversary. The last time we went, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. The prices have all gone up and what you get has gone down. We would always get their Big Night Out. The Salad and Cheese Courses were good as always. The main course was smaller than it has been in terms of the meat. Veggies were all the same.
The biggest disappointment was the desert. They would bring out actual chocolate pieces, mix everything up, and melt them properly. The last time we were there they busted out the Hersey's Syrup, warmed it up for us in a pot, and served it with most of the normal fruit and other desert bits, less their piece of cheese cake. Apparently they now charge extra for that.
So. The Melting Pot was already expensive but I was willing to pay that when we got our money's worth. Now they want more, give less for the main course, and dispense Hersey's chocolate syrup for the desert. I'll use the money we save from not going to get a nice fondue set and enjoy a good meal at home when I get a hankering for Fondue.
