Pros: Awesome in every respect Cons: I think I gained 10 pounds..
When you pull into the shopping center at Gaskins and Gayton, the Melting Pot doesn't look all that. I mean, a shopping center? Ok. But, we had reservations after deciding to go somewhere new and it was rumored to be decadent, so in we go. Wow. ...

Pros: good cheese fondue with unlimited dippers, pretty good service, chocolate fondue tasty Cons: slow, small chocolate portion, some entree options only for couples, very difficult to get seating
I like fondue but I rarely get the chance to indulge. The good, cheap fondue restaurant in Boston closed years ago. A newer fondue restaurant opened a couple of years ago but it's not conveniently located and it's outrageously expensive making it less ...

Pros: Fun dining in a pleasant space, cheerful service Cons: Perhaps not suited to the single diner, this restaurant is best for groups
When I was invited to a gathering of hotel people at the Melting Pot in downtown Washington recently, I conjured visions of orange and avocado. The 70's seemed right around the corner again. After searching my closets in vain for bell bottoms to ...

Pros: Great staff, nice decor, tasty food, fun experience, relaxed pace. Cons: Somewhat limited choices, expensive, lots of work to cook main course.
Omaha welcomed it's first Melting Pot Restaurant, and the only fondue restaurant for many miles around, last November at the upscale Village Pointe Shopping Center. Having been to one Melting Pot in the Chicago suburbs exactly 10 years ago, I remember ...

Pros: Really, seriously good appetizer and dessert, relaxed pace dining. Cons: Probably overpriced, poor flavoring on many entree items.
Against my better judgment, mr_chelledun and I opted for a late night dinner at Chicagos Melting Pot location on Saturday. I say against my better judgment because I always find myself riddled with guilt when dining at a chain ...

Pros: Fondue, great food, chocolate fondue! Cons: None.
My husband and I enjoy fondue. Our first attempts were in an ovenproof casserole dish, which worked for melting the cheese, but we would have to keep microwaving it to keep it warm. Then my grandmother gave us her forty (or more) year old fondue set, ...

Pros: Melted cheese and melted chocolate by the bucket Cons: Unjustifiably expensive, sickly sweet lovebirds in every booth
Not my best moment Due to circumstances completely my own fault, my marriage will be inextricably linked to The Melting Pot til death do us part. Last year on Valentines Day I took my girlfriend to her favorite restaurant, ...

Pros: great date place, great food Cons: a diet-killer
Note: This is a revised version of my opinion from 7/17/2000, placed in the correct category. I knew that this was a chain, however I thought it a local chain - I guess not. I have updated the review, added prices and spoken a little more...

Pros: Very romantic setting and great food. Service is awesome. You will not leave hungry. Cons: Very expensive.
If you are looking for a romantic place to eat, look no more. The Melting Pot is a wonderful experience all the way around. The food is great, the service is wonderful and the atmosphere is very quiet.
My husband and I recently celebrated our...

Pros: Delicious fun food, excellent service, low lighting, CHOCOLATE FONDUE! Cons: Fairly expensive (but worth it for a treat), no refills on the CHOCOLATE FONDUE! *lol*
I visited the Melting Pot in Atlanta, GA for the first time a couple of weeks ago (originally posted back in May) ... and I'll definitely be visiting again. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was romantic and calm, and the table service was...

Pros: awesome experience Cons: a bit pricey
There’s this little restaurant located about two miles from my house. I drive by it almost every evening, and the parking lot is always packed solid. I knew it was part of a national chain, but couldn’t figure out for the life of me why it would...

Pros: Delicious dining experience Cons: Expensive
I ate at The Melting Pot in Richmond, Virginia, for the first time recently. I treated two friends to a send-off dinner before their upcoming nuptials and wanted a nice meal at a restaurant I was sure they liked (they'd been to The Melting Pot...

Pros: yummy Cons: salads suck, service varies
The Melting Pot is expensive, but definitely worth it. I have no other fondue restaurants to compare it to, but compared to other restaurants in general, it is better than most. Fondue is a style of cooking that was very popular in the seventies and...
