"We were looking for a New Year's Eve Dinner spot and wanted to try the Melting Pot as we really hadn't done the whole thing before.\n\nThey had a preset menu which we knew about. Overall, it's obviously pricey especially on New Year's. We knew that going in so it wasn't a big surprise. The food was good, but you are coming here more for the overall experience. Can you do fondue at home? Absolutely.\n\nWe had made a reservation in advance but for some reason they didn't have it in the system. However, they were great about getting us seated still right away. I forgot our servers name but she was fantastic, and had only been there for a short time. \n\nThis isn't somewhere we are likely to return to anytime soon, but was nice to try out for the evening. Be sure to block off a few hours, as it takes a lot of time to go through all of the courses. \n\nMy recommendation that if you were interested in trying The Melting Pot would be to go for just the cheese fondue/chocolate fondue and skip the full entree. A lot cheaper and your not missing much and still getting the experience. I do know that they offer some deals during Happy Hours and sometimes will have Groupons as well."^^ .
