Editorial Review for The Melting Pot – by Cindy Locke
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.

I do NOT understand why people like this place. We followed our waiter's suggestion and ordered entrees for 2 (ie a plate of various raw meats marinated in random sauces) and cooked it in the "Mojo" broth. Disgusting! There are way too many contradicting flavors involved-- try to imagine teriyaki-marinated beef cooked in the Caribbean-inspired citrusy "Mojo" broth, and then you can dip it in one of the 7 sauces, which includes blue cheese and sweet and sour sauces? What the heck?? Our highly recommended artichoke and spinach cheese fondue had tons of raw garlic in it, and our salad was drenched in vinegar. And to top it off, for the two of us, we paid $100! That much money for funky flavored boiled meat. No thanks.

This isn't a bad place, it just wasn't as good as everyone makes it out to be. The fondue experience is unique... but that's as far as the great experience goes. Maybe it was the over-hyped expectations I had, but the food was merely mediocre. The salad was extremely generic, the cheese fondue was fine... but the most disapointing thing was the entree. We had a sampler of shrimp, chicken, steak... it was just...ok. If they didn't have a myriad of sauces of dip the meats into, it would have been even worse. If you have a hankering for fondue, this is the place... since there really aren't any others. That said, it's fun and unique... but the food is the weak link here. Enjoy it with a group for the fun, not the food.
Pros: unique dining experience
Cons: food
