The Melting Pot

So, my little sister turned 13 yesterday and our family (Mom, Dad, sister, and myself...as well as my girlfriend and one of my sister's friends) went out to eat at The Melting Pot to celebrate.

Let me start off by saying that the place was absolutely dead at 6pm. We had reservations just in case, but certainly didn't need them.

We ordered 2 different types of cheeses: 1 Fiesta and 1 Spinach and Artichoke. I was disappointed in the Fiesta but the S&A cheese was very good.

We all got salads and decided that the best one was the Caesar. Others got California, House, and Spinach and Mushroom.

For our entrees, we got 3 of the different selections. 2 were the ones with lobster (can't remember the name) which ran at $85 and we got 1 of the other which ran at $65.

Aside from tediously having to cook our own minuscule servings of different meats, nothing really stood out to me. I absolutely hated having to cook the food because we could only had 2 different bite sized pieces in at the same time and would have to wait 2 minutes between every bite of food.

The drinks were good (we had a lot of them...not my sister and her friend, though... ) and the service was really good...but aside from that, the food just wasn't worth the hassle IMO.

I will never go back there again unless it was for dessert and drinks.



And by the way, the bill (without tip) was 401.52...for 6 people.



Ridiculous.



Overall, I give it a D.
