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.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Prime-time reservations often require several weeks' notice.
- 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.

Very Unique Experience
by asksteh at Citysearch
As previous reviews that had something negative to say, the only accurate one thus far would be that this is an experience that take 2 1/2 - 3 hours to enjoy. I would not recommend taking small children, not that I dislike small children ( I have 3 of my own) it is an atmosphere that would be enjoyed better by a couple or group of friends. My husband and I went for my birthday and were sat in a booth behind a wall. It was very cozy and nice and neither of us expected that. The service was friendly and helpful with the menu. We ordered the big night out and the amount if food that was given was well worth it. The best parts were the first course cheese fondue and the last course chocolate desert fondue. The second meat course was also very good and I didnt expect to only have to cook the meat for 2-3 min each peice, I thought it would have to be longer. The next time I would go I would probably go just for the cheese and desert. It is a different and unique experience, I'm glad we went. I would definitley go again on another special occassion.

What a Big Night Out
by mreed0324 at Citysearch
The Melting Pot Exceeded any preconceived expectation or notion that I had about fondue dining. The most surprising part of the meal to me was the amount of food given for two people dining. They without a doubt give you every bit of your monies worth. As full as I was at the end all I could think about was some how finding a way for just a little bit more? Needless to say my wife and I will be regulars from here on out. I have since told all my friends and family to try The Melting Pot out as soon as possible.

Romantic and fun
by PittSteel4Life at Citysearch
I recently dined at the Melting P*t with my girlfriend, it was our anniversary and I wanted to make the night really special for her. They definately made that happen, I ordered flowers for the table and they were awesome, they even put a card out for us. Our server Carolyn was great she was friendly and knew a lot about the menu. Kudos to the managers and staff for making a special night even more special than we had anticipated.
- Pros: Atmoshpere, service and food
