    We decided to try the The Melting Pot on a Monday. We made a later reservation at 7:30pm. We tried the 4 course dinner, which consists of, cheese fondue with veggies and bread pieces, salad (4 to choose from), 5 types of meat with your choice of fondue cooking styles and then an amazing dessert of many choices of chocolate fondue paired with fruits and bite sized dipping treats. The food was amazing, our server Vanessa was very polite and had great recommendations for us. The prices are worth every penny, not only for the delicious food, it’s also a fun experience if you’ve never tried fondue! We were informed that there is happy hour with the cheese and chocolate fondues every weekday, which we will definitely be back for!!
