In the
month of December we visited the Melting Pot in Gainesville, Fl. There were 5 couples that went. We were treated to the wine loft upstairs before our meal which we all enjoyed. Our server was very attentive and told us about the different kinds of wine that they had and what we may enjoy trying. We were then directed to our table for our dinner. Our dinner consisted of 4 courses. We enjoyed a salad, cheese fondue, main course fondue, and then dessert. The drawbacks to going with this many couples were the fact that we had to share 2 fondue pots. For the cheese and chocolate this was o.k. but for the main course it got kind of crowded with each person having 2 skewers in the pot together. That meant that at times there were 10 to 12 skewers in the pot which were to many . The atmosphere was excellent and everyone in our group had a good time even if some of us wanted to go by McDonald's on the way home. I think that was just 
a joke on his part. If you are thinking about going to the melting pot you should make sure that you have a reservation first and that you only go with one or two couples. The other thing that you need to know is that they only serve wine and beer as far as alcholic drinks. The price is in the middle of the road. A couple should be able to have a complete meal for around $100.00 We all had a great time and everyone said that they would come back to have dinner there again.
