Along with our Grand America spa day, a few bloggers were treated to dinner by The Melting Pot. I’ve always wanted to go there for dinner and try out their fondue goodness. And I have to say it was heaven!
We started with cheese fondue, then dipped and cooked our meat and lobster in Coq au Vin, followed by dessert. Oh the dessert! It was chocolate fondue paradise. But the best part was that we didn’t feel rushed to leave. We dipped, chatted, and dipped some more for 4 hours, yes, 4 hours. Our server was great and didn’t shoo us out the door. No one was cleaning out our table while we were still eating! It would definitely be money well spent for the whole dining experience. Can you see how happy I am about the night?!

Ohhh that looks soooo yummy!
I’m a regular lurker. Thanks for all the great ideas. I had to comment because I love the Melting Pot. We took our daughter there for her birthday this year (in St. Louis), and because we had a larger group, we ordered two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts. It was so fun and so tasty. My personal favorite was the white chocolate bananas foster dessert fondue. Oh my heavens! Thanks for the reminder of a wonderful meal and an even better time spent with family. :)
I’ve been only ONE time to the Melting Pot, but definitely remember the good food! Sounds like (and looks like) you had a fabulous evening!
Oh the yummy, bring on the yummy.
Oh that sounds like such a fun night out with friends. Plenty of time to talk and linger with tidbits to eat. I love fondue parties, but to go out for this kind of variety would be even better. Looks scrumptious.
Let’s do it again! How about this weekend? (I’m not totally kidding is the scary part ROTFL! Mmmmmm! Cheese!)
Oh my gosh…Melting Pot still holds the record for longest restaurant stay…4 hours for me and my friends as well! It’s so fun…great night out!
Every year my husband and I spend out Anniversary at the Melting Pot! I love that we get to sit back and enjoy each others company for a few kid-free hours of bliss!
And ohhhh the food! So yummy! Very, very yummy! We have visited three different Melting Pots and have ALWAYS had fabulous service! They even present us with a champagne toast on the house every time too!
Since we started going we have also started doing fondue at home ~ Fondue Friday’s with Scrabble after the kiddo goes to bed! Our next fondue night will be New Year’s Eve and I can’t wait!
I have heard a lot of good things about The Melting Pot. Sounds like you had a great time and ate great food. I haven’t been there yet. But One day I will get there.
FAVORITE place for Girl’s Night Out dinner EVER – glad you got to go, now you just have to make a regular thing ;)
I have always wanted to go there. Fondue is one of my favorite things.
We actually have a fondue pot and used to bring it out for entertaining…pre-kids.
My Mom, two of my sisters, and one of my aunts all went to the Melting Pot together during a girls weekend. It was fabulous! We were there for three hours, and it was all great. We were all in agreement though — our favorite was the dessert!
There is a website http://www.Restaurant.com that sells gift certificates. You can get a $25 for $5. (no, I am not an affiliate and it costs nothing to join. If you get on their mailing list you will get emails for 80% off on the certificates. I have purchased $150 worth of certificates for $11) It includes a ton of restaurants and although I can’t get certificates for the Melting Pot in VA, my brother can get them for the Melting Pot in FL. I bought a $100 one for him and it was $15. Some restrictions apply, but it is a great way to enjoy new restaurants. If it were not for the certificates, we would not be eating out very often. I have used them all over Hampton Roads and never had a problem any of them. Just a little FYI.
