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.

This was not our first visit . Our previous visits were delightful - HOWEVER!!! We took our daughter for her 14th Birthday and thought it would be a great experience for her. The $14.95 balloon and picture frame was to be at our table for her - per our reservation. However - nothing was there. We have four girls between the ages of 9 and 14. They are all very well behaved. In fact, we frequent Copper Grill and Morton's with them in tow - and have never had anything but compliments on their behavior. We were seated in a small room with another family (their children were younger than ours) - at first we thought this was great. We could barely hear our conversation above theirs. However, the manager informed my husband we were being disruptive to their table. We finished the rest of our meal in silence. My husband spoke to the manager (after I took the girls to the car) and he replied this was not a family environment restaurant, it was for romance! However - I will say our server was very good and she treated us well.
Pros: Menu and Waitstaff
Cons: The Management
