The Melting Pot

Great atmosphere, $120 bill for 2 and left hungry

They've got the romantic end of it locked up. Its a beautiful room, with the tables very privately situated so as to minimize the other guests in view. Doing fondue is a neat way to make an evening special; its fun to cook at the table. That being said, after a 3 course meal and a couple of drinks, leaving the restaurant, we were both hungry already! Our bill was $120 for both of us and while we had fun with the food, the portions were like something off a kid's menu. Some in our office have mentioned doing a group at the Melting Pot, but I've had to vote no because of the value. Highway Robbery or Enron are terms that come to mind. My advice is, eat anywhere on 2nd Avenue, then go there for their desserts, which I think is only like $25 per person.

• Pros: Very romantic, enjoyed the fondue, unique dining
• Cons: WAY overpriced, under portioned
