The Melting Pot, located in
Charlotte's
Midtown and University areas, is one of my personal favorites! It offers specialty entrees including filet mignon, lobster and Cedar Plank Salmon but, the
real specialty is the method in which the food is prepared--by YOU! Fondue (ahh, the swiss cheese!) is an interactive dining experience and the staff at The Melting Pot is incredibly attentive as you progress through your 4-course signature dinner. Reserve your private room for that very special occasion at either of their two locations!
