The Melting Pot

I went to the melting pot for the first time last night and I have mixed reviews about it - I have been waiting to go there for such a long time and since it was restaurant week in Philadelphia we decided to go. Everything was at a set price - it was only $ 35 per person - which is way cheaper than it would normal would be.

The first course was the cheese fondue - we decided to get Chedder but there is tons you can choose from. It came with apples, a couple different types of bread and some vegatables. It was very very good - but I love Cheese.

The second course was a salad - again a good array of choices - I choose the house salad and it was very good.

The third course was the entree which I was not so crazy about - they give you a choice of broth that you would like your meat to cook in - we choose one with red wine - it smelled very good. But they bring the meat out and it is raw. I did not care for that - and you are suppose to put the raw meat in the fondue broth pot for 5 minutes and cook it yourself - but I was freaking out because I was thinking what if we did it wrong and got sick - it would of been better if the meat was brought to us already cooked and we just put it in the broth for a minute to give it flavor. So I did not care for that part at all.

The fourth course and the best one of all was the chocolate fondue - it was so so good - we choose the white chocolate and milk chocolate - yin and yang but again there is many to choose from. It came with pound cake, cheese cake, brownies, rice crispies, bananas and strawberries. It was devine. I really loved it.

Another thing was it was a very long night - each course took a long time and we were there for 3 1/2 hours - I did not get home until 12:30 - it was crazy.

So all in all it was pretty good - if I ever go back I would just do the Cheese fondue and the Chocolate fondue because they were the best.
