The Melting-the-roof-of-your-mouth-Pot

We ate at the Melting Pot for the first time last night. There’s been quite a build up over the past year or two since this restaurant opened, “You’ve got to go to the Melting Pot” “It’s soo good” etc. I have to say, I was…well..unimpressed. I don’t like to cook, so when the meat entree came, I was kind of surprised that the server brought out a tray of raw meat. I really thought I’d just be dunking some (cooked) meats into a brothy/sauce concoction. Also, that shit was hot. I don’t know if our burner was left on too long or what, but that jonk was boiling like crazy. I eventually reached under the table and turned it off myself, no big deal. I definitely don’t think the entree was worth the $$. Oh, wait, let me add another $, because it was also pretty pricey. I knew that it would be, but I suppose I was expecting some sort of fondue feast (that I don’t really feel like I got).

All that said, the cheese fondue was very tasty, and the chocolate, well, can you really say anything bad about chocolate fondue? It was truly awesome. We had the Smores, which was milk chocolate with marshmallow creme and graham cracker crumbles. Mmmmm, I could eat a pot right now and it’s 8:30 am. There was also wine .

Summation: this was quite an experience, not what I expected though. I would probably not go back for the entire meal, but I would go back just for the chocolate (and wine). 3 Stars.
