 The Melting Pot Has anyone been to this restaurant? I understand it's a chain. One of them just opened this week nearby. Because it's completely full for tonight, we're going next week. I'd be curious to know what it's like.

 Never heard of them, but a quick Google search turned up a lot of links, and the fact that they are a fondue restaurant. Here is their web site: The Melting Pot Let us know what you think!

| My wife and I dined there a few years ago. It is, obiviously, all fondue. From what I recall, it was fairly good. A long night, though. Everything is prepared at your table, so it is a great place to spend time with friends. It is not your typical cheese sauce fondue place. I remember the entree selection was cooked in your choice of either a court boullion or a sesame oil amalgam. Overall, I remember a pleasant experience.

| Wanda & I just recently ate at the one that opened in Appleton this past year. I love fondue and love it even more when someone else is doing the preparation. I think the Melting Pot does a good job. Definately offer a number of choices, some of which are far from traditional. My only complaint about our meal was one of the batters that came with our entree. One was a tempura type batter, which wasn't bad, the other, I am not sure what it was suppose to be, but it was so thin it came off my food everytime I tried it. I also don't understand why fondue is as expensive as it it. You do all the cooking yourself!!!!

| Just my kind of place, Pete! My husband can eat my cooking and I don't have to clean up.

 We just returned, and it was very good IMHO. Having the right server is absolutely essential to having a good experience though. The one next door wasn't as good as ours and she left out some details that I thought were helpful. The place has been open for a week and you cannot get in without a reservation unless you want to be a walk-in at 10pm. It seemed a good deal for the money, considering the grade of beef and quality of the ingredients they served. Not your any-night spot to be sure (full meal takes over two hours) but great for a special or leisurely evening. We'll definitely go back.
