In Short – Booths equipped with tabletop fondue pots are clustered together inside the intimate dining room. Start with a cheese fondue, including an assortment of breads, veggies and fruits for dipping. Entrees include lobster, center-cut filet, fish, chicken and vegetarian selections served with a variety of dipping sauces. For dessert, try the flaming turtle, a mix of chocolate and caramel flambéed tableside, served with nut-covered marshmallows, fresh fruit, pound cake, brownies and cheesecake.

Cook Your Own Food And Pay Up The Wazoo
by bobberdobber
If I'm going to spend over 200 bucks for a meal, I expect that meal to be cooked for me by a professional chef. If I wanted to cook my own food, I'd stay home and cook my own food. It would be one thing if this place was cheap. But the prices suggest you're being served something spectacular, which is absolutely NOT the case. This is the worst sort of rip-off--designed to appeal to the sort of people who think a great dining "experience" is going to a place where they cut your tie in half when you walk in the door. Fun? Hardly.
- Pros: Good service
- Cons: Overpriced, tiny portions

great place for a fun night out
by grizzlies
The Melting Pot was a blast!! We had such a good time. The staff was extremely friendly and seemed like they were having a good time. The guest service interaction was outstanding and we also really enjoyed the 10 page wine list. It was a very well rounded experience. Somewhere you could go with a date for a romantic evening or somewhere you could go with a bunch of girlfriends for a bachelorette party. I highly recommend it.
- Pros: amazing wine, very fun, young staff
- Cons: wish we would have stayed longer

Very expensive mistake
by SayCheese
We were very disappointed in the service. Although our waitress was courteous and attentive, when I asked "So that will be $90.00 (for the Big Night Out order)?" She answered "Yes, but that's for everything." I took this to mean our entire meal (two adults, two children), but she meant for two people. She actually brought us two Big Night Out orders. Because of this misunderstanding in ordering, we paid $100.00 more than we were expecting. Really put a damper on our celebration. Bummer of an experience!!! The misunderstanding was part our fault, part our server's fault, but management took a hard line and was unwilling to meet us half-way. The food was very tasty(except the dessert, which was more like chocolate syrup than melted chocolate), but I would not recommend this as a "Big Night Out" unless you are VERY careful about ordering and willing to spend big bucks!
- Pros: Tasty food
- Cons: low customer satisfaction
