    If there is a fondue place near me there's a 95% chance I will go to it regardless how good or bad the reviews are. My husband and I have been to this Melting Pot location before and I needed to get my cheese fix so we decided to come here last night. Restaurant is in a good location with plenty of parking. We made a reservation on open table and were seated right away. The Host was really nice and noticed my husband was using crutches so they gave us the option of a booth or a table which was great. Our server was excellent- took her time explaining everything was constantly checking on us to see if we needed anything. She also made one of the best cheeses I have had- it was perfect. Many will say, you been to one Melting Pot, you have been to all of them...that is simply not true. I have been to ones with bad food or bad service and this one exceeds my expectations every time and always has the freshest ingredients and remarkable service! There are only a few things I could say that could take this review from a 4 star rating to a 5 star. The first being the broth could use a little less salt, the tend to overdo it here and the next would be to have a little heavier pour on their old fashions/rocks/neat drinks, for the price you pay it comes up a little short.

    Awesome Mother's Day meal thank you. Great service explained everything in detail. Jeph was awesome. Thank you for making my holiday wonderful . We also received roses for all the Mom's. Just a great added touch.

    Enjoying the cheese !

    Absolutely the best !! Very comfy and cozy atmosphere. Our server, Ryland? Well I can't say enough good things about her. By the time we left we felt like we had acquired a new granddaughter

    We took our family here for a special anniversary dinner. When I made the reservation, I was told tabletop grilling was also available. We had a party of 8 and was seated at a long table in a very noisy area and asked our waitress to talk louder as we could hardly hear her. She was very accomadating overall trying to explain about the menu. We were disappointed that no tabletop grilling was offered . Also, there were 2 fondue pots on our table, so we were limited on what we all wanted to fondue. Overall, the food was fresh, but my steak and chicken to fondue was already so overseasoned with salt and pepper I couldn't eat it. We ordered an oil and a broth fondue for the table. The veges cooked in broth were nothing special and most not eaten. The seafood was fresh and tasty. The tempura batter did not cook up crispy. Chocolate fondue dessert enjoyed by all. Between drinks and some ala cart items our bill came to over $600. We all agreed that we could have eaten elsewhere with a more accomadating menu. As for me the anniversary girl, I was disappointed with the ambiance,the noise and my overseasoned food. I came here based on the great reviews. Yes, it was an interesting dining experience and we all agreed really not the best choice for dinner for our party of 8.

    A total blast!!! We were staying in MB for our sons 14th birthday. We wanted a fun experience for dinner. My husband found MP, easily made reservations (thank you!) and even surprised him with a birthday bear. We didn't really have an idea what to order or what to do but it ended up being a fun experience that is perfect for special occasions. Our waitress was helpful and attentive. The cheese was our favorite part for sure!! They even brought out a desert for our sun and decorated the plate. What a special dinner!

    Great place to go if you have celiacs! Big sticker right on the window when you first walk in that they're trained and compliant. Now this place is expensive however, you get what you pay for and that's an experience with some awesome food. The menu is a lot to take in so do your research ahead of time if you don't like surprises. Everything with gluten was clearly marked and thankfully they allow for substitutions. We opted to skip the salad which no one usually does but you can skip whoever courses you'd like. They're typically 4 courses but don't let that scare you. Get whatever you want! Skip the salad, eat the chocolate! Place was a bit dark but quiet given the place was packed! We'd definitely eat here again knowing they take allergies seriously. Food was amazing and so was the service.

    Ask for Temerous if you decide to dine at the Melting Pot. He made the atmosphere comfortable and fun, my boyfriend and I dined there this evening. The food was amazing, the cheese fondue (Classic Alpine) was a must. The table-side presentation which we were informed just started yesterday, definitely added to the experience. If you aren't too full, you must also try the Chocolate Explosion for dessert.

    Hi Everyone, If you…read morelive to eat as many my of my Italian friends do, Villa Romano's succulent fare, will put that curl in your hair. This restaurant was a surprise from our oh so friendly, engaging, interesting and very accomplished Accordion Virtuoso, Mike. To our very enthusiastic, lovely, patient, Server Berkley. To our food which was divine. To the "Old World" Italian environment, kinda like Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, without the human statues that move ever so slightly, but just enough to to make you feel, something is a miss, but what??? Man, that drove me crazy. Also, you want to go here to dine because their competing Restaurants in the area feel having you wait in very long, well over an hour and a half lines, just to get in satisfies their need not to take any reservations. Hun...? Yep, they're fine having Aunt Susie's makeup looking like Mark Shostrom, the Master Makeup Artist from the horror series "A Nightmare on Elm Street" movies, put it on for her. We all know also, because while we tried our best not looking at how Aunt Susie's makeup was contorting her face, it was like trying not to look at a car wreck. I even laid 7-5 odds that her false eyelashes would become a moustache, and won, while we all did exactly that to satisfy my beautatious date's Cousins' from Reno, fish wish, in Myrtle Beach. We stood in the lines outside, in the evening heat, at three different restaurants that we tried. Please remember to bring water, you'll feel better while you wait, wait, wait again, and then really wait, as if Mosses is going to appear from on high with the Ten Commandments. Instead it's, "Your table is ready" as you try to wake Grandma from her heat induced coma. While Villa Romano's bait, is to actually take your reservation and instead, have you relax on your tushy while having a cocktail in their comfortably A/C filled delightful ambience while you relive your day's perspective with friends and Family ("No, you missed it. First he...", ya know), while Mike fills the air with his sweet mellifluous musical notes floating by you for your audio pleasure, much like the feather in Forrest Gump. Their appetisers looked awesome however, this is an "Old World" Italian restaurant that offered their minestrone soup, and their Caesar salad which came with our meals, was very tasty, and paired very well with the bottle of wine from their varied, and well selected wine list, which we all shared. First, I read some of Villa Romania's great reviews on Yelp, before making a reservation, most especially, because I did not want anyone to have to repeat "THE LONG Lines" at our Fried Fish Palace, lol experience from two nights earlier. All of our entrees pictured below, were savoy, aroma enticing, tastebud thrilling, flavor forward, and exceeded all our sensory expectations which helped us all unwind while really enjoying our evening out together as it unexpectedly, evolved into an event for us all. While all their deserts sounded wonderful we were all completely full. But on our next visit, tiramisu, ice cream, and cannolis for all. So it's expensive, right? That is a great question Poindexter, but wrongo, my parsimonious friend. It was again, surprisingly affordable, and "I shall return" as General Douglas MacArthur once said. Why? Because sometimes you just can't find what will work for everyone, and that feels and tastes, just right. That's it! That is Villa Romana Restaurant, and we all were so gleeful and happy we discovered that fact in our visit to Myrtle Beach, SC. Manga... Enjoy!

I was a bit skeptical because we passed it a few times on our way to different places in town, and from the outside you couldn't tell that it served upscale cuisine. But it had great reviews so we took a chance. Ambience: The inside was dimly lit with an old school feel. Reminds you of an old school New York establishment from the 80's. I liked it. It had a welcoming feel and I noticed there were at least two regulars the staff greeted. Food: We ordered an appetizer of calamari and the short ribs. Additionally, I was going to get the salmon but they had a special of red snapper with lump crabmeat, green beans and rice. The food was delicious. The calamari was one of the best I have ever tasted. The addition of the fried peppers complimented the dish well. They were nicely fried and seasoned. Very light crust which I love. Sadly I didn't get a chance to taste the short ribs because I was just too enthralled in my dish. The snapper was perfection! Everything on the plate paired well together. Also, if you're not going for an alcoholic beverage, their freshly squeezed lemonade is so refreshing. Service: I'm truly bad about remembering names and as is my usual, I don't recall the name of the waitress, but she was truly attentive and nice. She was also knowledgeable about the food and patient. Truthfully, all the waitstaff seemed genuinely kind towards the patrons, which was nice. If I am ever in the Myrtle Beach area again I will definitely be going back. Loved it!

The food was incredible -- I had a filet mignon, green beans and mashed potatoes, and it was all perfectly cooked to order. My husband had short ribs and said they were wonderful. We also had cocktails. On hearing we were celebrating our anniversary, our wonderful waiter Paul got free champagne for us. The meal was not cheap at all, but considering we spent $60 on a breakfast buffet somewhere else (and inflation in 2026,) we knew that was coming. Definitely the place to go to celebrate. It was an experience to remember!

The outside of the restaurant was unassuming but once you stepped in it was lovely. Beautifully decorated and tables were set and ready. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Some areas were for 2 to 4 people but others were set for groups like our family of 7. Having lived in Italy for 3 years in northern Italy I know what an Italian restaurant should be . In all the years since we left Italy I have been to many supposedly Italian restaurants and been disappointed. I was so impressed and surprised when we arrived and once I tasted my food and saw the joy on my family's faces as they began to eat I knew we finally had found that gem we had been looking for! Even my coffee at the end took me back to Italy. The owner of the restaurant came to check our table himself and was Italian and so well spoken. You could tell he had pride in his restaurant and his staff. If you love Italian like we do you simply must go and eat there. You won't be disappointed.

We were a large party of 16+ people, and the table was all set up and good to go when we got there. If you have a large party like that, do call and make a reservation. Located in a strip mall on Surfside Beach/Myrtle Beach (it is on the border of the cities!), Valentino's is an Italian restaurant with lots of choices of pasta, chicken, seafood, and veal dishes. Best part is that an entree comes with either soup or salad. Our server was Corey, and he did really well with the large party and keeping us happy. We got some alcohol such as wine, beers, and liquor, and water of course. Corey also refilled our waters well and constantly. For apps, we got 2 fried calamari, 2 eggplant rolenti, and 2 stuffed mushrooms. The Calamari was tender and enjoyable! For entree, I ordered Lingini with clams in a red sauce with pasta fagoli! others ordered chicken or veal saltimoboka, as well as marsala, and some specials. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food, and some even took leftovers home as well. I know I definitely enjoyed my clams and lingini! pasta was cooked aldente and enjoyable! Even the soup was enjoyable as well! This time, everything was on one bill, and we paid via a credit card, and left a cash tip. Highly recommend this restaurant!
