raw food coming to your table for you to cook yourself while getting facial restaurant

by crabbs

come here if you want to throw pieces of raw food, including raw meat into a kettle of boiling water and get steam blown into your face. The only good thing about this place is the atmosphere. Picture getting a kettle , filling it with water and boiling it, and then putting raw carrots, potatoes, and chunks of steak into the kettle Kind of like making a stew. It was not tasteful in any way and I can't believe this place is even in business still!!!! It wasnt cheap either!! For being a fondue place, you would think the cheese fondue would be out of this world, but I seriously have had soooo much better at other restaurants. What a disappointment!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not worth it....

by kjhaynes

When I was a kid in the 70's, I used to use my parents' fondue forks as Play-doh toys. So as a grown-up, I wanted to see what the forks are really for. What a let down. WAAAAY too much money for not a lot of mediocre food. I spent $100 for dinner for two, and that was without going fancy. (No wine, etc.) You pay a ton of money for bits of food to dip in melted cheese or cook in sauces. After you are done, you are still kind of hungry.... Dessert is not bad, but still pricey. Nice before a show at Music Circus.

• Pros: New exprience for many.
• Cons: Food isn't nearly as good as it should be for the price.

$$$ Fondu

by stevehuang

Personally I'm not a fan of the MeltingPot. While they do a decent job in food quality and preparation and offer an unique dining experience, it's really expensive for Fondu. We make Fondu at home all the time and it's dirt cheap compare to this place. I'm not really impressed by the long wait times between courses as well. How long does it take to boil some sauces and bring a place of food for dipping?!? Typical dining takes about 2-3 hours. While I can enjoy doing that for a fine French restaurant, this is not fine French dining.
