To celebrate my partner's birthday and New Year's Eve, I made dinner reservations at the Melting Pot. I remember going to a different location when I was much younger and thinking that it was such a great way to spend special occasions with a nice dinner and really engaging experience.
After I made our reservations on Resy, I put in a note hoping to have the table decorated with flowers/candles. I never heard back and assumed it went unread, slightly discouraged, and never had the time to call the restaurant to put in my request. When we were seated, I was SO excited (and surprised) to see that they had fulfilled my request! While there's also an option to sit in Lover's Lane, some of the packages automatically include a teddy bear and items that I knew my boyfriend wouldn't have much of an interest in, but I still wanted to make the evening special and romantic for him. He was blown away.
We chose the 4-course meal for two and every dish was wonderful. The Wisconsin cheese fondue to start, salads, we opted into the "choose your own" for the entree as I'm a vegetarian, and the Yin and Yang (white chocolate and regular milk chocolate) fondue for dessert. We were so full by the end of it, we could hardly finish the dessert fondue.
To top it off, the service was great and they even brought out a cake with a candle and birthday message for my partner. We enjoyed the entire evening.
There were a few things that could have gone smoother (us being seated seemed challenging even though we were 15 minutes early to our reservation) and our additional fries being brought out during the entree course instead of the appetizer with the cheese fondue, but it was all very slight in comparison to the grand scheme of things!
