I've never been a real fondu fan because it generally takes you 3 hours to complete a meal. However, The Melting Pot is a treat each and every time I go there. Although a little expensive(marginally), the portions are actually just right for for a satisfying meal. The ambiance is rustic and beautiful. The lights are dim with fireplaces and wood/rock surroundings. Definately a great date location. The meals come in the usual three courses. The cheddar/beer apetizer with bread is excellent. We've tried all of the meal fondu's and found that the broth is both light and very tasty (we usually get the platter with the meats and seafood). The dessert is the climax of the entire thing. We have tried a different one each time, and made a couple of our own (do dark choccolate with amaretto), and every one was a treat.
Expensive, but worth it!
Pros: Atmosphere, food, valet parking
Cons: a little expensive
