Melting Pot

I think they purposely abandon guests for 20-30 minutes at a time. Make sure to plan 4 hours for dinner. When we were almost at 3 hours, I asked for the check, a doggy bag, and if she could bring dessert before we left. We ate dessert standing up, and walked out at the 3 hour mark. Food was good, but the gap between courses was absolutely a hostage situation. This was an hour drive each direction, and it was over 6 hours when we got home - only dinner, and we were on time for our 5:45 seating. Food was great and we had fun, but we had to turn off the burner because we were sitting there staring at the dry boiler for 20-30 minutes. Had the same experience in San Antonio decades ago. Just beware that this "experience" dinner destination will take 4+ hours from first seating until the bill comes. And they did not appear to be hustling for anything. I still left a very generous 25% tip ($30). Oh, and telling them you must remain Gluten-Free (& they have GF noted on every eligible item) isn't sufficient. We had 2 courses of the 4 where the waitress had to remove the food back to the kitchen to be remade because it was gluten-laden, even after making it clear on the phone, upon entering, when being seated, after a nice discussion explaining that consuming gluten would result in 6 weeks of diarrhea and a loss of 15# to an already too-thin body, and then 2 of the 4 courses were potentially deadly. Not good.

Great place for a special night out. We went to happy hour at the bar. Server/bartender took great care of our ladies group. Fondues were yummy, and salad fresh. I do think the amount of fondue you get was a little small and I had my own pot. Wonder if you get more for two people? The stuff to dip in was good and glad they have gluten free choices as well. Chairs at bar comfy but hard to sit in and enjoy fully (but I have sensory issues so high bar chairs are my own issue. They were very comfy for bar chairs tho. Staff were great, atmosphere wonderful as well. Loved the cheese fondue and esp the chocolate fondue! I liked the colorful dipper sticks and how everything was plated. Only thing not worth it was the chocolate explosion. Cake was standard, not outstanding like other desserts. Fun effect and photo effect but a little overpriced. Overall very happy with this place. Will return for special celebrations and BFF nite/happy hour.
