The Melting Pot

Salad was good, server was very late checking back to our table to refill drinks. Food was ok, chocolate dessert was good. I feel it's too expensive for what you get.

This was my first dinner eaten on my way down to Mardi Gras 2022. They were taking reservations, but I was able to get in to eat in just 30 minutes. I was so nervous because we haven't really eaten out in Ontario with the pandemic and lockdowns. I felt so strange being out, but the booth I was in was in the back of the restaurants, so I really tried to relax and enjoy the experience. And I have to say, I can't wait to go back next year. I've never eaten at a fondue restaurant before but had friends in Vancouver who had prepared this type of dinner for me before, and I always wanted to do it again. There are different courses, so it may be a little pricey, especially if you're eating solo, but so very worth it. They have special gluten-free menu items, which is so wonderful when you can't eat what most other people can order. James was my server and he did a wonderful job of explaining how everything worked and making sure I was taken care of. I ordered a cherrylicious lemonade to drink...highly recommend. The appetizer course was Wisconsin cheddar with apple, gluten-free bread and veggies--broccoli, carrot and cauliflower. So very delicious. I will admit I've had better GF bread, but any time you can get it at a restaurant is great because not every restaurant offers it. It was a little bland and chewy, but the cheese was exquisite. For the next course, I ordered the Create Your Own Entree. My three meats were shrimp, garlic pepper steak and duck. I opted for the Court Bouillon to cook it in--seasoned vegetable broth. All items were marked that were GF by the way, which makes me feel safer eating. James gave me the cooking times for each of the meats. This is low carb, btw, which fits my eating style. There is a hot plate built into the table for the bouillon to cook the meat. You also get six different dipping sauces. This was really fresh and delicious. For dessert, I told James to surprise me. He asked me if I liked a couple of flavours and ended up bringing me a chocolate/peanut butter fondue with strawberries, bananas, and pineapple. Not only was it so much fun to eat this food, but it was all VERY tasty. I really enjoyed the experience and the flavours. I will definitely be stopping again on my way to Mardi Gras 2023.

This is an experience. The smell inside is amazing and getting to eat slowly over a period of time is very nice. The vegan cheese here is fantastic, as a cheese lover in really impressed with it. Prices are to the high side but they deliver some solid food, even if you do cook it yourself. This makes for a great date night and even fun for younger ones.

Always an excellent time, im learning how to cook the food faster. Hint dump it all in before you start eating then portion it out. The bloody Mary was very disappointing it had no Condiments which I had to ask for later. Ranch for the garden salad had good flavor. We got the Festa cheese, fyi you can change the level of heat. They have hot, medium, and mild. They don't add jalapeños seeds so hot is not really spicy. Co vin cooking broth had a hint of the red wine flavor. Burbon walnut chocolate was a little to thin and runny. It was dripping off before you got it to your plate or mouth. Overall it was a good experience. Highly recommend
