Train BETTER! My family and I have been loyal Melting Pot customers for more than 20 years, but our recent visit to the Arlington location was, unfortunately, one of the worst dining experiences we've had. Our party consisted of three children and two adults, arrived for our 5:15 PM reservation on time and were sat at approximately 5:20 PM. From there, however, the evening quickly unraveled. Our server did not greet our table for a good 15 minutes after we were seated. Even after being greeted, we did not receive our initial drink order until 6:00 PM. By that point, we had been sitting at the table for about 45 minutes with little to no service. Throughout the remainder of the meal, every course was delayed. Food delivery was inconsistent, communication was lacking, and basic hospitality seemed absent. The server frequently disappeared for extended periods, forcing us to seek assistance from a manager on two separate occasions just to keep our meal moving forward. *** What made the experience even more disappointing was the interaction at the end of the evening. Our bill totaled approximately $320, including tax, which included two bottles of wine. My friend and I split the check and left a 15% gratuity based on the food and service portion of the bill, excluding the wine purchase & tax. Given the level of service we received, we felt this was more than fair. The server stood next to the table basically restricting a path for us to leave the booth and said to us, "You're only giving me a $30 tip?" When we explained our calculation, he proceeded to challenge our decision and continued asking for additional gratuity. It got so awkward that I asked him to charge me $0.01 to leave an additional $20!!! I've dined out for decades and have never experienced a server confronting guests over gratuity in this manner. The irony is that at The Melting Pot, guests are actively preparing much of their own meal. Despite that, we were still prepared to tip generously. This is a reservation, word of mouth style establishment too! What we were not prepared for was being pressured and guilted into leaving more money after enduring nearly two and a half hours of slow, inattentive service on an EARLY Thursday night dining service. A leisurely fondue experience is expected at The Melting Pot; spending that amount of time waiting on service is not. Sadly, this visit was enough for both my friend and me to decide we will not be returning to the Arlington location. If we choose to visit The Melting Pot again, it will be at the Reston location or one of the Maryland locations, where we hope the focus is still on hospitality and guest experience. Very disappointing!!! read more

I hadn't visited The Melting Pot in about 15 years, so when my boyfriend suggested it for a date night, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed the experience. We were seated in a cozy, intimate booth for two, which made the evening feel special and comfortable. Our server, Josie, was fantastic. friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. We started with the spinach artichoke cheese fondue, which was excellent. Josie prepared it tableside, and it was perfectly gooey and full of flavor. She was also very generous, promptly bringing more dippers whenever we ran low. For our main course, we shared the bullion broth fondue and selected the garlic and teriyaki steak. It was served with a nice assortment of vegetables and sauces, and everything was delicious. Overall, it was a fun and memorable dining experience, and we would happily return. read more

We were a party of 10, with lots of different tastes. We were seated quickly and the server was timely, had great suggestions, was friendly and attentive. We all had had the 4 course dinner that included fondue cheeses, salads, hibachi-type entries, and fondue dessert. Our group had almost everything on the menu - from salads, to the chicken, duck, shrimp, salmon, teriyaki beef, filet beef, garlic-pepper beef, and chicken potstickers. For dessert se had 3 different chocolate fondues - this is where I almost lost my mind. That turtle one had me by the throat it was so good! Everything was delicious from start to finish. read more

I wrote to Melting Pot directly about our experience but have yet to receive a reply. I have enjoyed previous visits but this one was horrible. Our server took over 15 minutes to come to the table, never gave us her name and immediately asked if we had made our decisions on what we wanted. I told her about our celebration (and did this as well on our reservations) but it didn't seem to matter as it was never brought up. I also told our server that all but me, had never been to a Melting Pot. She didn't say anything other than 'welcome'. I explained they didn't know how it worked, or what to do. She spent time pointing at the menu and reading it for us instead of actually talking to us. The food was ok but she never came back to turn down the burner so when we were down to about 25% left of the cheese, it was burned and we could not eat it. The music was too loud and we were sat right next to the kitchen entrance which made it worse. This was disregarded as well. Very disappointed all around. read more

As someone who loves The Melting Pot and has celebrated nearly every birthday here for the past 15 years, it truly saddens me to see how much the experience has declined. While the food was still good, it just didn't match the rest of the visit. The overall atmosphere felt off--no one greeted us at the door, the carpets were dirty, and the lights were on full brightness, which completely took away from the romantic, intimate vibe the restaurant used to have. Our server wasn't very knowledgeable, and unfortunately, the service didn't reflect the premium price point. What really disappointed me was that I had noted my birthday when making the reservation, but they were out of strawberries and told us they no longer offer anything special for birthdays. I've always looked forward to the birthday packages in the past, so that was a big letdown. The Melting Pot used to feel like a truly special, upscale experience--but now, aside from the pricing, it just doesn't deliver the same quality or charm it once did. read more

It's been about 7 years since we've been to a Melting Pot, last was in Dayton OH area. We decided to celebrate or wedding anniversary at the Arlington location. Parking in garage and navigating through the stairwell to entrance was weird, but well marked with signs. The whole reason we came was the food experience and they did not disappoint! I recommend the 4-course. The fiesta cheese fondue was on point! I recommend the California salad, phenomenal! You can choose from a wide array of cheese styles, and meats and cooking styles. It can be a little overwhelming for a first timer, but the server will walk you through it. Our service was excellent and the ambiance good with high walls to seperate each dining group. Check out the martini list, especially the Midas Martini! read more

My first time here or at a place like this was on my birthday in October. Our server was Jeremy and I appreciate him for his knowledge and service! He was so patient and sweet. I still feel like "cooking for yourself" places are a little scammy lol but I had a great time. And they have some of the most delicious sauces. I'd love to try it again and get one of the courses. read more

UPDATED REVIEW: I truly hate to give negative reviews, especially to a place where I normally love to go to with my family but after tonight, I have to revise my previous positive review. My family and I have been visiting this location for the past 20 years and the food and service is usually consistent. The last two times we dined here we have had bad experiences with tonight being the worst. We were served by a young man by the name of Sam B. From the moment we met Sam, it was very obvious he did not want to be there and we did not feel welcomed. His service was VERY slow and he couldn't answer some of the simple questions we had asked regarding couple items on the menu. The two cheese fondues he prepared for us were extremely watery and to make matters worse, we found hair in our food that didn't match the color of any of my family members. When we informed Sam of this, he never apologized and just walked away. When he came back, he sort of slid the new item on our table and walked away again. His actions were very rude. When you're paying $50 a person, you expect good service. If you visit this location, do yourself a favor and make sure Sam isn't your waiter. He clearly lacks customer service and has no personality or warmth. read more

The Melting Pot is STILL Melting! After over 15 years of enjoying an occasional meal at this modern HOTPOT staple....I have to say that they DID NOT disappointment me..YET AGAIN. Now I have to admit that with all the other new and interesting places to go I thought it very CLICHE to celebrate a birthday here but the newer generation wanted to try the place out. We enjoyed a night of fun...Skewer fighting, veggie dropping, delicious drinks, entertaining host and a beautifully calm, warm decor. We took part in the BFFF which was sooo much food...the cheese, the salad, the protein & the dessert was ALL soo good and more than we could possibly eat. I am glad I decided to give the Melting pot another chance. So whether you want to do an ADULT outting, or an intimate dinner this will give you what you are looking for. Now i just need to find me a date to take here! read more

Arianna T was the absolute best. Attentive and friendly - she provided us a phenomenal experience.

Delicious! The restaurant was pretty empty and slow so there weren't a ton of employees, but the waiter we had was super friendly and knew how to do the job well. The dessert round was definitely my favorite. This is a great place to go for a date:) read more

Just spent a wonderful evening at melting pot Reston. Our server Harrison was top notch and made our experience terrific. The manager came by and checked on us which is awesome bc at most restaurants you would never see a manager even when one is requested which tonight it def was not, but I did give our server a compliment when asked. Melting pot is a little pricey but so worth it and is def one of my favorite places to visi. read more

It was a sad occasion that took me to the Melting Pot. A dear friend recently passed away and I went to The Melting Pot as a memorial/remembrance to her. We used to go there years ago before she moved to Florida and I wanted to do something that meant a lot to us. Daniel was so kind and he and the staff were so caring and took such great care of me as I laughed and cried and talked about my friend. That meant so much to me. Thank you to the owner and team at the Melting Pot. I will never forget your kindness during my time of great sorrow. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I was so disappointed. While the table was setup so cute for date night and the service was exceptional, the food was so incredibly bland and mediocre. I find this place to be far over priced for the quality of the food. All of the meats/proteins were bland and the sauces didn't make it much better. Also, I'm pretty sure something in the food made me and my boyfriend sick. We left with very upset stomachs. The tables are really small and don't allow for much space for plates, silverware or glasses. It was also very dark in the restaurant and made it difficult for even the server to see what he was doing. read more

The Melting Pot - Bacon Mac & Cheese Fondue - Fondue Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

So I'll start off by saying I have been coming to the melting pot for years! YEARSS!!! Originally going to the DC location which is now closed. When we come in we know the deal and most often know what we're ordering. We have a great time every time and always end up stuffed! Price is high for the fact that you are cooking it yourself but that's never been a complaint. This last time we went were all very surprised at the fact that the plates of vegetables are now $5 more for extra. They put 1or 2 PIECES of veg per person on these plates. And they now wanna charge $5 extra for more. Is that going to stop me from coming? No. But is adding on another cost when it's all high anyway really necessary? No. Melting pot is an experience that's fun to try at least once. But if you don't want to cook your own food then this is not the place for you. Pine nuts on the ceaser salad are enough to order the salad 1000 times over and over lol actually just order the pine nuts. Tried the Atlantic salmon from the land and sea option and it's prob the worst thing I've ever had from here. read more

My first time at melting pot and it was really fun! We had an amazing server who gave great suggestions and brought everything out quickly. We came for happy hour which allowed us to get their chocolate fondues and drinks discounted. We were a group of seven and got 2 savory and 2 sweet fondues. Starting with savory we got the spinach artichoke and classic alpine. Both were really good but I liked the spinach artichoke the best. For dessert we got the original and s'mores fondue. S'mores was so good and the assortment to dip in the fondue was great. Overall I had a great experience and loved the variety available for fondue. read more

Melting Pot is a unique experience as you have to cook your own food in front of you. There is a parking garage and it's validated, so no worries on that end. In regards to service, the host is always so polite, unfortunately, our waitress wasn't as attentive and kind of just brushed over the details and didn't really check on us. We even had to wait over 20 minutes to get our final course of dessert. When paying the prices you do at Melting Pot, I expect a certain level of service. When it comes to the food, overall, it was tasty. The chicken and steak are well seasoned. Not really a big fan of the salmon though. As always the spinach and artichoke cheese fondue and s'mores of dessert was everything. Unfortunately, my salad was overdressed and had croutons, even though I said no croutons twice to the waitress. I prefer going with a smaller party, so if you go, I suggest date night or a girls night with your best friend. Also, a solo happy hour might work! read more

We came here to have some drinks at the bar and try the chocolate fondue. The restaurant was busy, since it was a Saturday night, but the bar area was pretty empty. The bartender was super busy, so it took a little while before he asked what we wanted. I ordered a wine flight, my husband ordered a beer, and we ordered the chocolate fondue to share (which comes with strawberries, bananas, and various bite-size desserts for dipping). For $16, I thought the wine flight was a good deal, because it included 3 generous pours. We ordered their signature chocolate fondue, which is milk chocolate melted with crunchy peanut butter. The fondue was delicious of course; what's not to love about melted chocolate?? My only complaint was that we ran out of chocolate before we had finished dipping all of our desserts. It wasn't a big deal, since we were full, but I think a little more chocolate would have been great. Overall, it was a nice spot for chocolate fondue and drinks. read more

Presents as a special occasion-type restaurant with Five Guys-quality service. The server had never opened a wine bottle before. We had pieces of cork in our wine. We were handed our salad plates instead of their being laid on the table. If you're looking for any sense of proper etiquette or good manners, do not come here. read more

Went here for the first time with some friends and I loved it. People who say it's overrated I think don't understand that it's just as much about the experience as it is just the food (even though the food is bomb too). The ambiance inside is very quiet and cozy. I think a great spot for intimate get together or a date night maybe. Non-aggressive lighting and chill vibes, but sort of fancier than your average restaurant. Service was also really good! Our server was super nice, very helpful, and had good rapport with us the whole time. Also excellent timing on everything like he didn't check on us too often like in some places so we could enjoy ourselves but whenever we were near needing something, he was conveniently right there. My friends did the ordering so I'm not sure the exact dishes we ordered. But first course was the cheese of course. The cheese blend was delicious and the variety of things to dip was good. There was bread (two types), apples, celery, and broccoli. The main course I think was a surf and turf thing. We had a veggie broth base and then a line up of beef, chicken, pork, and shrimp. The teriyaki beef was my favorite flavor-wise. For cooking times, they have a sign with recommended cooking times and our server also explained it before we started so we knew. And they also provide a selection of dips and sauces for the table. All the sauces were good and the variety was really nice. The favorite sauce for the table was the curry one. For dessert we got the smores pot. This was the BEST thing. The chocolate was perfectly sweet and creamy. And the assortment to dip in it was awesome. It had bananas, strawberries, brownies, blondies, rice crispie, and waffle. Favorite things to dip were the strawberries and the waffle pieces. Honestly the whole experience was so nice. I'm definitely taking my boyfriend here for a date night. And we all left super full, so people who say they didn't leave full, I guess they just have larger appetites. I thought this was amazing! read more

We had some family visiting for the weekend and Melting Pot is right across the street from us, so we thought it would be fun to go as a large group. The service was terrible and the food is a rip-off for the prices that they charge. It was the first time for all of us and it took a while for us to understand the menu. Our server didn't take the time to explain it to us. All she did was point to the set menus and point to the à la carte options on the other side. We had an odd number of people in our party so we had to figure out how to price out the "experiences" which are for 2 people. When we asked her questions, she repeated herself and pointed to the menu again as though that was going to provide some clarity (it didn't), so we took the time to figure it out on our own. After taking our drink orders, she disappeared and didn't return to take our food orders until my husband got up to track her down. For the cheese fondue, we tried the Alpine classic which was terrible--the white wine was too strong and overpowered the flavors of the cheese. Some others in our group got the Spinach Artichoke which was bland. The salads were nothing special--I've had better salads at Appleby's and Chili's. The main course reminded us of Chinese hot pot, but twice as expensive. The ingredients were fresh and well prepared. No complaints here. The chocolate fondue was the best part and the reason why this isn't a 1-star review. The chocolates were delicious and we loved the variety of sweets and fruits for dipping. If I return, I will only do the chocolate fondue. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The fondue is delicious and the atmosphere is really nice. I always get the classic alpine, and usually the Wisconsin cheddar. There's a large variety of options so you get to try a lot. There is also a big vegetarian course that is offered.I enjoy the layout of the restaurant, it provides a sense of privacy. The tables are separated by walls so the dining experience is more calm. Our server was Brandon and he did a fantastic job. He was fast, friendly, welcoming, and patient. He was also a wonderful conversationalist which is important at these places because they make the food in front of you. I highly recommended this place if you like fondue or hotpot. read more

This was my first time at Melting Pot ever! Made the wise decision to come during restaurant week, and my friends and I had the best time! Our server Malik was amazing! So helpful and patient with us as It was our first time and we needed some explaining. We had three courses. The cheese fondue was to die for. Malik made It at the table in front of us. We got the classic alpine. We devoured this with the bread, veggies, and apples It comes with. We also ordered a bottle of the house red for the table which paired well with the cheese. Next you get to pick from salad options. The caprese salad was a solid choice. At this point I could feel myself getting really full, but I pushed through! Next up was the proteins. You get to pick from four. My favorite was definitely the teriyaki sirloin and the mushroom sacchetti. We chose to cook It Coq Au Vin style. A great choice. Came with eight different dipping sauces and extra veggies. Of course we couldn't say no to the dessert. This was incredible. S'mores style fondue chocolate dip with everything from Rice Krispy treats to strawberries to brownies to dip It in. We left so full, but I already can't wait to come back! Next time I would probably be satisfied with just the cheese and chocolate! It's a lot of food, but if you've never had a Melting Pot experience you should definitely check It out! read more

This place is OK as an adult. For 12 year old probably absolutely amazing. Had a party of 12 was told we're only allowed to do the 4 course special which was $125. Ordered the Alpine cheese and the Wisconsin cheese were horrible. The artichoke cheese was decent. Then ordered the pacific rim. Got the meat lovers and the portions were completely small. Water and drinks we ordered to forever to get refills or even bring to the table. Decided to skip the dessert cause at that point it was just a waste of time and excessively over priced. read more

It was my husbands birthday so we visited the melting pot. It was our first time so we did not now what to expect. The server was great at describing how it worked. We ended up getting the four course meal each and two drinks. First, let me start by saying this place is not cheap! Our total bill was 125.00 for the two of us, however we left satisfied and very full. You start by picking a cheese for tour fruits and veggies and bread. I was surprised to see that they offered seconds after some of the bread was gone. We had our 14 month old daughter with us and she thoroughly enjoyed all the finger foods so this was kind of perfect for her. Anyways, after that came the salads which they had a nice selection. Then we each chose our own meats aka the entree. My husband went the steak route while I tried a little of everything. You get to decide how you want to cook your meat and they give you a bowl of veggies as well. We originally asked for the griddle which said "new" on the menu but we ended up getting some type of boil? It was good and gave everything nice flavor and also cooked things super fast. I think despite not being what we ordered it made sense for our first time. After that came dessert. We went the traditional route and just got milk chocolate. You got pretzels, rice crispies, marshmallows, strawberries, pineapple, waffles etc. it was good but we were so full at this point and the baby was ready to go. Overall, we liked this place and it felt intimate and special. It is not every day dining and I think they know that As they asked if we were "celebrating anything". At the end they brought out a plate with the word happy birthday and a small square of the angel food cake with whip cream and a candle. It was nice but I felt it was lacking considering how expensive this place is. read more

I had a great time at my solo dinner at the Melting Pot last week! I was craving fondue for a few days and decided to make a trip. I made a reservation on Open Table and they only had 8:45 pm or latter available. However when I arrived 2 hours early to see if they had any earlier openings they seated me right away. The restaurant was fairly quite despite a few large groups dining in as well. Javier was my server for the evening. He was very attentive and did a great job explaining the menu to me. I had only been to Melting Pot once prior about 15 years ago. I opted for a la cart because Im not a dessert fan and knew I wouldn't want the chocolate fondue. So I chose a cheese fondue, skipped the salad dessert and chose the pacific rim option to include a variety of protein. Everything was fresh and tasty. My only issue was having to choose one of the many tempting options! Excited to go back to sample other options! read more

I've been to a couple of Melting Pots before because we love this restaurant as a date night. Reston, Annapolis, and even one in PA. Our most recent visit at this Arlington location was the best experience yet. The food was delicious from the cheese all the way to the chocolate. Our waitress was very attentive and came back to offer more food whenever we were running low. There was so much cheese for our first course that I was satisfied from that alone! The entree meats course had huge portions and large quantity, more meat and biggest size we have seen yet. It was definitely worth the money and I was so full I almost couldn't finish! I'm normally not a huge fan of the chocolate because it's too overly sweet, but this one was perfect! We had a party of 8 and I thought that would be too much and too hectic, but everything was super smooth! Will definitely be back. read more

always love coming to the melting pot I used to come here a lot with my family so it's nice to have one nearby! came here for my birthday with a group of 6 and had a blast! always a good dining experience whether it's a group or date night. we ordered all the courses - cheese, salad, entrees, chocolate dessert!! cheese - spinach artichoke & fiesta salad - cesar salad (their cesar is always bomb) entree - everyone ordered different things. usually i order only the teriyaki steak because it's just SO. GOOD. but I decided to switch it up and got the teriyaki steak, salmon, and chicken potstickers! only thing I noticed was that it took a very long time for the salads to come out and for our server to take the empty cheese bowls back, but that's besides the point. didn't ruin our night because we were too busy talking anyways. we had a great time with great service and I will continue to come back as always read more

I will admit that we are WAY BEHIND on the fondue train. Chocolate or cheese you really can't go wrong! While I'm not a fan of reviewing franchised establishments on the regular, the experience itself is worth raving (and writing) about! A huge word to the wise, if you want an actual full dinner, don't get your hopes up. The servings tend to run on the small all in all. The main (and only reason) you come here is the activity itself. And the ability to get close to your date over something a little warm :) read more

First let me say that Kate was great!! Upon arrival we were greeted and immediately checked in. I did take notice that it was freezing in the restaurant but hoped that it would warm up once we started or dinner experience. It just so happened to be Restaurant Week so the was a predetermined menu at a discounted price which allowed you to choose your meal tailored to your hearts desire. For $35 you were able to choose a Cheese Fondue whether it was the featured one or one of your choosing from the menu. Our table decided on the Wisconsin Cheddar and the Spinach Artichoke. After tasting the two, my new favorite is the Spinach Artichoke. I had to end my relationship with the WC because something was off, it did not taste like what i remembers but the new fondue saved the day. The spinach and artichokes are small enough to still have a big impact. It was especially divine on the pretzel bread and the green apple dippers. Next was the salad of your choice. Most of the table opted for the Caesar and if you know me, I did request extra pine nuts. There was also a House Salad and a Bacon Bleu Spinach that made their way to the table as well. Dressing on the side so you can have it as wet or dry as you desire. Time for the meat!!!!! You could choose the predetermined meat selection of choose four from a list of provided meats. Lobster tails were also an option for a super duper up charge of $14.99 as you are advised to get two tails. Buyer beware... it's one tail sliced into two pieces or so it looked that way on the plate. The chosen cooking style was Coq Au Vin but you could choose on of the other cooking styles on the regular menu. We had two pots so we did Coq and the Mojo (my personal fav). I do recommend putting all the veggies in and letting them cook while you cook your meats. Some before take longer than others. Also the longer the cook the more flavor they have!!!! Lastly and probably everyone's favorite part, le dessert!!!! We went with the Pure White Chocolate and the Yin Yang. The dessert dipper plate always has something different on it each time I go! This time we had pretzel sticks which was cute! If you are undecided Yin and Yang is perfect giving you the beast of both worlds to starts and once mixed gives you straight up chocolate lol. All in all, the experience is exactly what you'd expect.... an experience. I do think they restaurant week gives you less food in all but allows you to get a little this and a little that making it easier to experiment to see what you really like. There is parking under the restaurant so make sure you take your ticket with you and the restaurant will cover a majority of it for you. It's best to make a reservation too to minimize any wait times. Lastly, hopefully the heat to air mixture will be better for you or on my next visit. It was ice cold outside and ice cold inside too which depleted the experience. Sending warm wishes as I wrap this up...... read more

The melting pot is a unique restaurant where everything is fondue and hotpot based. The main meal is three courses: a cheese fondue starter, a salad, and a hotpot-style entree where you choose a broth/cooking base, a selection of meats and vegetables, and then cook them yourself. The fondue and bases are prepared in front of you at your table, and they taste wonderful. Dessert includes chocolate fondue and tasty waffles bites, brownies, blondies, as well as some fruit. read more

Used to go here when I was in high school. Came here with family to celebrate a birthday - we enjoyed dipping breads and veggies into the gooey and hot spinach artichoke. The ying yang dessert is epic: it comes with dark and white chocolate. You get to put cookies, brownies, marshmallows, graham crackers, and other stuff into the chocolate fondue. Restaurant is great for those with allergies. Staff were friendly and gave us extra marshmallow dippers! read more

Had a fun dinner last night at Melting Pot! We opted for the 4 course - cheese fondue, salad, meat and veggies and chocolate fondue. We started with the cheddar cheese fondue. What could be better than melty hot cheese and dipping breads, fruits and veggies?? The cheese was a little beer/garlic heavy but overall super tasty. Then onto the house salad. Mostly good, but a few brown pieces of lettuce. The homemade ranch dressing is creamy and has good flavor. Melting Pot lost a couple of stars during our entrees. We had the coq au vin cooking style - super flavorful with the rich red wine mixed with veggie broth. But, we got a lot of proteins with flavors that didn't really go together well. If you are trying the coq au vin, get the plain proteins so the flavors meld better. Also, make sure you are cooking your proteins to the proper temp! We had a few uncooked pieces of meat that needed more cook time. It was helpful to use our cellphone timers. Do yourself a favor and try to Dark & Dulce chocolate fondue. It's especially good with strawberries and rice crispies. If you are feeling even more decadent, get some cheesecake for dipping. Yum!!! read more

My s/o and I have been craving the Melting Pot for quite some time. We decided to come here tonight for date night. Steven was our server and was accommodating, and kind. I'd give him 5/5 stars! We ended up getting the Wisconsin Trio for our cheese. Sadly, I didn't like the cheese as much, because the wine was a little too overpowering. Yes, this is the first time someone has ever complained about something being too boozy. Great selection of dippers though. The house salad with the sweet and tangy (honey mustard) dressing was good! I felt somewhat healthy ;) We got the Classic Mojo style entree. I love this part, but I think I would have preferred the Coq a Vin more than the Mojo, as I'm not a fan of cilantro and totally didn't realize it came with it! However, the zest of the lemon and lime gave my meat and seafood very interesting flavor. It was quite unique. The shrimp was my favorite, which is a surprise because I never make shrimp at home. Lastly, we went with the s'mores chocolate. Honestly, I wish the graham crackers were more crumbly. They were too big, which made my dipping experience a little challenging. The oreo crusted marshmallow is my favorite! I love how they also had pineapple and bananas- fruit and chocolate are always a great pair. read more

We went to the wrong restaurant because their entrance through the garage was a little confusing. We made a reservation at 8:15PM and we're there past 10PM. They close at 9PM so I'm not sure why an experience that's over an hour is allowed to be booked less than an hr before close. However 10/10 staff. We felt bad once we realized how early they closed but our waitress never rushed us and gave us a full experience. Food was ok. My fav was the cheese and the chocolate dip but the package deal was worth the price to try their fill menu out at least once. read more
