pinky review: The melting pot

My husband is only in town for a few days, so I thought it would be nice to treat him out to a fun dinner. This time it was with a twist. I took him to The Melting Pot, a romantic fondue restaurant!

He had no clue what was in store as we made our way to Midtown. The decor in the restaurant is very nice and with the dim lights, it definitely put us in a romantic mood. Mr.Reed ordered a glass of Chardonnay while we waited, then we were approached by our waiter Brian, he was really fun! I new I wanted to try the four-course meal. I wanted “The Classic” and my husband ordered the “Seafood Trio”. I’ve been to The Melting Pot about five years ago and they have changed a few things on the menu but it was still a fun experience like I had remembered. Brian suggested we add their house seasoning that gives the food that extra flavor.

Seafood Trio

The Melting Pot has been around since the late 70’s and it’s really a very unique dining experience. Instead of ordering off a menu and getting your food on a plate, you literally cook your own entree and it’s extremely fresh. The cooking oils that we picked were the Seasoned Court Bouillon and Cog Au Vin. You dip the meats or seafood into the cooking oil and it takes about 2 minutes and it’s done! Then later for dessert, you can dip all sorts of yummies into chocolate dipping sauces and boy was this a treat! I didn’t really leave full but I don’t care for the stuffed feeling anyway but for my husband he said it was great for him because has to watch his diet due to a recent health scare, so he enjoyed it. Check out The Melting Pot in your area, it’s a friendly family atmosphere, great staff and something different to try! xoxo
