The menu is quite limited, but possibly that is why what they serve is very good. The beet salad was exceptional, our entrees were quite good and the chocolate ganache was great. Wide selections of beer and wine. Service was great. Only suggestion - which is minor was both my husband and I had entrees with a sauce at the bottom of the chicken and salmon - both sauces were a little cold. Maybe it was plated before the meat and fish were done or maybe cool bowls??

Fantastic time! I brought 4 friends who had never been to The Melting Pot before. They were impressed. Tip: Check the menu before your visit. For first time visitors it can be a little confusing. ****
