GREAT NIGHT

My friend and I went to The MeltingPot the other night. I had heard good things about it, then heard an ad for it on Matty in The Morning during my commute to work. I felt that it was a sign to make a reservation and couldn't stop thinking about fondue all day!! We arrived early, and sat at a high top table in the bar area. Very hip. I spotted a drink called the Strawberry Basil Lemonade- I was intrigued and ordered it. My friend had some type of margarita made with blackberries- both drinks were fabulous. We were seated soon after sipping our drinks. We walked through a maze of cozy booths, I was shocked at how big this place really was!! It looked empty from the waiting area, but I think almost every table was filled in the back. We had a nice spot to camp out for the next couple of hours. We had already decided that we would splurge and order The Big Night Out, and I'm so glad we did! We were brought our cheese selection (a delicious mixture of several cheeses with garlic and basil I think). Wow! Our waitress came back to check in (she was awesome) and we ordered our next item which was a salad. Even the salad was a mixture of flavors I wouldn't think to put together. Onto the main course!! She brought out shrimp, lobster, filet, chicken, veggies- I was so glad I didn't eat all day knowing I was coming here. All of this food- yummy!! We had selected some type of Caribbean cooking sauce which was awesome. I just kept patting myself on the back for making the call to finally come here- I don't know why or how I waited so long to try this place out. Of course chocolate was our finale!! What a great way to end a meal. Fruit and cakes dipped in chocolate, who invented this? Fantastic. If I didn't think anyone would see me I would have licked the plate clean- I didn't but I could of!! I can't wait to go back again, whose coming?!?!?

"Another fabulous and delicious time at the MeltingPot last night!

As a stay at home mom with a hectic life style, I find the casual and relaxed dining experience at the MeltingPot perfect for me and my friends. I had been looking forward to this night out for several weeks, and the waiting paid off.

I always find the decor in the MeltingPot fascinating and very hip! My friends and I had a great table (though I don't think there is a bad one in the entire place). Bring on the cheese! I think the toughest part is deciding what to order- so far every item we have had is to die for. Our server was wonderful and very attentive. The selection of fun ""girly"" drinks is fabulous, I always try something new. Last night I tried the lobster, beef and chicken with a scrumptious garlicky dipping sauce. The chocolate was a slice of heaven as our finishing course. The only bad thing I have to say is that it ended! I am already planning our next fondue night out!

• Pros: Food, Service, Decor

My friends and I were having a bad week at work so we decided to treat ourselves to a fun dinner. What is more fun than fondue and martini?s? TMP offers both of course. I had my usual Appletini, but some of the other girls decided to try some of the other ones on their cocktail list. They all tasted really good especially the Ying Yang, sort of like a milk shake, yummmm! We had a great time and it really took our minds off of work and all the other stuff we are putting up with right now. Hopefully, next time we go it will be for a better reason and the food and drinks will be even more fun!
