The Melting Pot Edmonton - Appleton

My fiance and I celebrated our anniversary and my Birthday at the Melting Pot on Friday night. It was around 5:30pm wasn't too busy and we luckily got a table right away without a reservation. The front entrance had a really weird odor like a old musty restaurant which was kinda off putting. I think if they fixed it up a little, it would make a big change. We started our dinner off with two drinks the first being a Pomegranate Moscato Sparker which was Pomegranate Vodka, Pomegranate Juice, Luccio Moscato d'Asti. The second drink was a Lemon Berry Mojito which included Bacadi Limon, Wildberry Puree, Mint leaves, Lime and Club soda. These are similar to drinks we usually order light, fruity style. They were just ok, the bartender made them quite strong, so if your into that you would like it. For us, they were a little too strong. We chose the Complete Dinner For Two which was a four course experience including your choice of cheese fondue, salad, entrée and chocolate fondue. Premium proteins and vegetarian items served with seasonal veggies. Prepare your entrée in a fondue cooking style of your choice, one per cooktop. $92.95 for the two of us. Our first course is the one we always choose when we come to the Melting Pot. We chose the Spinach Artichoke which included Butterkäse, Fontina, Parmesan, Spinach, Artichoke Hearts and Garlic. This is great everytime and we recommend this as your first course! Our second course was a salad. I chose the Caprese which was Mixed Greens, Fresh Mozzarella, Tomatoes, Basil and Balsamic Glaze. It was pretty good, it was missing a crunch in my opinion to add some texture. Possibly a light dusting of flake salt on top would have rounded it out as well. My fiance chose the Melting Pot House salad which included Romaine, Iceberg Lettuce, Cheddar, Tomatoes, Croutons, Scallions, sliced hard boiled eggs and a choice of dressing which he chose caesar I believe. It was a normal salad, nothing special. For our third course, we ch

I could think of way better things to spend my money on. There really aren't any mild cheeses either, so don't bring a picky eater. We did the meals for two but only got one dessert tray. Our service was super slow. We were there for so long it was painful. We would go back and do just the dessert for funzies and I'm glad we tried it. But we would never do it again.

Great experience overall. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. I felt some of the dipping options could have been higher quality considering the price. Fun new experience for me and good service. Maybe just a tad overpriced for what you get. For us the best part of the meal was the hot beer cheese.

Enjoyed a date night tonight and cannot say enough great things about the service we received from Mikaylee (sp* . She was absolutely outstanding a such a breath of fresh air of a server I?ve had in a long time. She was so attentive and made sure to put a special, personal touch on our experience.

Definitely a fun date experience. Went here for the first time not knowing what to expect! There was roses on the table and a rose in a vase, it was date night! We had the 4 course dinner and it was absolutely delicious. My favorite was dessert! Dipping all kinds of choices into chocolate was just heaven!
