This elegant, fun and unique place to eat is one of our very favorite restaurants, especially to celebrate a special occasion.
The Melting Pot offers a very extensive menu of salads, fondues, meats, and other items to cook in your own little pot at the table. It's alot of fun, whether for a group, or just a romantic dinner for two.
Not only is the food excellent, it also really encourages you to take your time, savor your food and make a real "event" of your dining experience. The environment is very dark and elegant and feels very upscale. Which it should, because it's not an affordable meal, by any means. We enjoy it 2-3 times per year because it's not somewhere we could afford to eat all the time... but that also makes it more special when we *do* get to go.
Their martinis are excellent, and you can't miss out on the "chocolate/dessert" course... it's to die for...
Be sure to call and make a reservation, just in case - it's often packed.
