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.

When to Go

Cooking on forks takes time--something to keep in mind if you've got after-dinner plans. It's a great place for people just getting to know each other or who truly enjoy each other's company.

Yes, this place is WAY OVERPRICED but...its fun! Its a date night sort of place or when you go out with another a couple. You will pay over $80 per couple (not including drinks) so be prepared. They make a great Strawberry Shortcake Martini though! You can go for just a cheese fondue course and drinks or dessert and drinks though. I would do that next time. But for your first time try the three courses. It takes a couple of hours to get through it but its worth it. Then the second time just go for dessert. I love it and its a lot of fun.

Pros: martinis and its just fun

Cons: expensive!

I went to this restaurant not knowing what to expect. What I found was a wonderful dining experience. The food was very good, from the wine, to the salad, to the three cheese fondue, to the entree of lobster and various meats, to the chocolate with Baileys dessert. The food, the wine, the service, the ambience and the company all added up to a very memorable and enjoyable evening. This is not a rush to eat, in and out type place, but a place to relax and enjoy. I am looking forward to my next visit. (This program will not allow me to write the name of the restaurant; apparently the second word of the name of the restaurant is "inappropriate" :)
