Default The Melting Pot

Anyone ever go to this restaurant? I am taking the wife there tonight for our anniversary, going to the one in Newport News. I hear it takes a long time but that's cool, gives me time to work my magic if ya know what I mean.

My Mom used to do fondue for my sister and I when we were just little whipper snappers. Looking back it doesn't seem like such a good idea letting a 5 year old boy have long pointy forks and a pot of near boiling oil around his sister but it worked out OK.

Yeah I went there once. It was a cool experience but you really have to know what fondue you like. I remember I had this beer flavored one that was decent. Fun though, was a good time.

I've only been once and it was cool. I would grab a sandwich before you go, I didn't get full from eating there.

I've been there a couple of times on my daughter's birthday - her choice. I thought it was pretty pricey for what you get. It's definitely "chick food". It's tastey but as Lowcash said - you will leave hungry.

Been there plenty of times, one of my favorite restaurants. We always get the surf and turf (filet and lobster) for 2 and it's more than enough food. Ask for them to put some bacon in the cheese and you'll be in heaven

Never been, tried to go once on a Friday night but some idiot did not think about making reservations.

I've been to the one in VA Beach and the one in NN. The one in VA Beach is much better! The tables are better seperated. You almost feel like you are the only people in the resturaunt, and the lighting is better (dimmer).

You'll be there a few hrs, but well worth in IMO.

Our TMP is really good. Great wine selection and awesome food. We hit it every other month.
