The Melting Pot - Appleton
Price: Expensive•Fondue•4.7(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.

- JJessicaPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •7 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoThey only had 2 sushi chefs and even w a reservation we waited for an hour before the chef was able to get to our table. He was great and the food was good. Long wait was the only issue for the night.
