I went to the one in Old Town Pasadena for my friend's birthday and just had the most amazing dining experience. First off, we were greeted by the hostesses immediately upon arriving, which was welcoming. I've been to other restaurants where they wouldn't even acknowledge your presence until you say something to them first, so it was nice to feel welcomed. We were a little early for our reservation, so we decided to get a few drinks at their bar before getting seated. I recommend the Pineapple Martini or the Love Martini from there! The bartenders were very prompt in getting our orders and were very nice people. We got seated at a nice table by the window where we can overlook Colorado Blvd. Our server explained the whole menu to us, since it was our first time and we had no clue how to order. He was very patient with our high maintenance group, so I really appreciate that. We ordered the Big Night Out, which comes with cheese fondue, salad, meats/seafoods/veggies, and chocolate fondue.\r

We finished EVERYTHING, and were completely stuffed after the whole meal, but it was all well worth it. The ambiance was nice, the food was great, and the service was top-notch. I recommend everyone to try MeltingPot at least once in their lifetimes.
