The melting pot is one of the best restaurants in Austin. The location makes it look cheap, but besides that, it is anything but. The food is absolutely amazing and the 4 page wine list will satisfy any palette. A dinner is expensive. Last time we went, about $90 / person including the drinks. For first time visitors, I would definitely recommend the full course dinner packages. Definitely make reservations, a few weeks in advance if you are going on the weekend. Leave the kids at home, as it not a child friendly restaurant. I wouldn't recommend more than 4 in a party either.
Pros: Food, Wine, Service
Cons: Price, Reservations
