Melting Pot Restaurant The

This fondue restaurant is one of a kind. All of the food is served fondue style and you cook at your own table. The meal consists of different types of vegetables, fruits, meats, and fish which you cook in cheeses and broths. It's moderate-highly prices but well worth the unique experience. I highly recommend the dessert fondue, filled with fruits, cakes, and your choice of chocolate fondues! more

This restaurant is a great place to take a date or visiting friends. It's a fondue restaurant so you can have fun with skewers and melted cheese and raw bits of meat. The best part for me is the appetizer: apples and bread with melted cheese; and the dessert: strawberries and cake with melted chocolate. mmm mmm. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to families with small children. I took my 4 and 5 year old neices along once and they were too impatient to wait for each morsel of food to cook, plus it is very hot and the burning-hot fondue pot is in the center of the table. What I like best about this place is the intimacy...each table is in its own secluded little booth with 3 walls around it. There is a location in St. Pete, on 4th Street, and on Dale Mabry in North Tampa-Carrollwood. more

I think the Melting Pot is a great date restaurant - it seems to fit that very well. The staff is courteous and they offer some unique dishes. My only complaint is that I had to wait a little longer than expected a couple of times I've gone there. Other than that - the food and service has always been very good. Its also very reasonably priced comparied to other "romantic" restuarants in the area. more
