The Melting Pot - Appleton
Price: Expensive•Fondue•4.8(342)Proudly serving the Appleton area for 20 years, completely remodeled with a full bar with burners, lounge tables, firewall, lover's lane and private dining rooms.
Our experience is perfect for a romantic night out or a special occasion that deserves a unique experience. Our location provides a casually elegant, intimate atmosphere. The relaxing four-course experience begins with a cheese fondue prepared table side. A fresh salad follows while your entrée pot heats up. You’ll simmer a variety of tantalizing meats, seafood and vegetables. Entrees can be cooked fondue style or one our tableside grills. Each morsel is hot, fresh and delicious and all entrées are accompanied by an array of dipping sauces to add to the flavorful fun. Chocolate fondue is the finale.

- MMichaelVIPWisconsin •38 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoSara, our server, was fantastic. Energetic, prompt, polite, and checked back often. Ask to be seated in her area! I would have given everything a 5, except I encountered the same thing I do in a lot of upscale restaurants. While the main entree is usually served at the correct temperature, the French fries for some reason are luke warm at best, as they were here. You would thing truffle fries would be served hot out of the fryer, however I'm sure these were sitting under a heat lamp which at best was not working. All the other food was great. Please server a regular tiramisu. The "de-contructed" version is not visually appealing and is not true to any restaurant that has Italian food on their menu. I would go back again.More infoFratellos Riverfront RestaurantPrice: Expensive• American• Appleton•4.8
