Review: The Melting Pot

I think im gonna take the woman there for her bday this month

I’ll remember this place for when I do something bad and have to make it up to the wife. Certainly not my kind of place, but she’d enjoy it.

You should get an electric fondue pot for your wifey if you liked it. I just got one for Christmas from Target that is really big and I love making the swiss fondue with some apples and cubed bread. Perfect for a night at home :wink:

i got one for xmas, fried meat is good!!

I used to go to the one in DC all the time. I have reservations for this one Saturday night. Thanks for posting the review. I was looking for a place to take my girl.

i wish i had more hands, so i could give that restaurant 4 thumbs down…

went there last week…for $100 for 2 people (we also got the big night out), i expected better quality.

the cheese appetizer was good, salad was good, desert was average…but main course i wasn’t impressed with at all. When i go out to eat, i don’t expect to have to cook for myself first off…

and secondly, everything just tasted so bland/average…nothing really set it apart from any other restaurant that was half the price…

very cool setup in there and such, but i go to a restaurant for food that tastes good, and of the 8 things they gave us to cook, i think maybe 1 or 2 (the pork and the filet mignon) stood out as good…the rest were just ok, if that…

i wouldn’t recommend it, but that’s just me…

opinions are like assholes…

Went last night for the bday dinner and your review is spot on

what a great time, certainly the most entertaining/interesting dinner I have experienced in a while.

We opted for the dinner for 2, not the big night out and it was more than we could handle. Probably feeds 3-4 with no problem!

We started with the cheese course, and had many left over pieces of bread and veggies…

salads were pretty good, I guess you really cant mess up a salad too badly

Main course was Salmon, terryaki steak, filet mignon chicken and white shrimp…all were really really good.

We opted for the Mojo cooking style, which added a nice little citrus hint to food.

We were tempted to do dessert but neither one of us had room so we are planning on heading back some night for a dessert only trip

Also any Winos like myself out there…they have a great by the glass list, a little on the high side (maybe $1-2 more than some other places) but really good picks. Also there is a very extensive bottle list, perhaps nearly 100?

But indeed :tup: :tup:

gentlemen, if you want to impress a date here is the place…

Nice review, thanks for posting this up, The wife and I have been curious about this place too.

If you don’t want to feel like you are cooking for yourself, pick somewhere other than a fondue place? That’s part of the appeal of it.

Just got back. OMG! So good.

Had the private booth. Did the “Big Night Out”. Just incredible. Had some complimentary champagne too. Double :tup:

Europa Bistro on Elmwood has fondu that’s delicious, if anybody wants fondu as more of an appetizer and a regular meal after. The rest of their food is sooo good, too.
