SEATTLE; Melting Pot
Another warm and fuzzy entry. The Melting Pot, located throughout North America, how I wish there was one closer to my proximity. It's been around since 1975 and we're still loving it. Fondue all the way through. Their set meals are always delicious but can NEVER finish the whole thing regardless of how hungry we are. Set meal for 2 is around $60-$78, we ordered a set dinner for 2 to share amongst 3 people and we STILL couldn't finish it.... in fact, we weren't even close! The dishes are so heavy as you can imagine, but oh-so-so yummy. First course, you start off with a cheese fondue.. yes, this is my favorite... and for a surprise, NOT the dessert. They give you a selection of different cheeses to choose from, and then provide you with a platter of bread, fruits and other goodies. 
The "Surf and Turf" offers a choice of fresh meats and seafood with Caribbean rubs and flavors like vanilla rum chicken, peppered shrimp, lobster and jerk sirloin in cooking styles from Mojo bouillon to Coq au Vin herbs and burgundy wine. Offers a wide selection of sauces and dips. To be honest, I didn't really like this type of fondue. The soup tastes a little too salty and had too much wine added to it. (I prefer chinese soupy hotpot as opposed to this one) 
The dessert was overly filling but presentation was very nice and come on, it's chocolate, can't really go wrong. A little on the sweet side. This one featured here is the Yin and Yang, half dark chocolate and half white chocolate. 
Tried the Flaming turtle before, and didn't like that one. It is milk chocolate mixed with caramel and nuts, flambeed tableside. Way too sweet for my liking, however, I do like the selection of fruits and cakes. A platter of strawberries, bananas, cheesecake, spongecake and marshmallows comes with the chocolate fondue. 
Overall, if you are looking for something different from what you normally have, this is a nice fun alternative that gets everyone involved. Great for big social gatherings. Would love to go again sometime.
