    Bartender who was a pleasure (sorry I forgot his name) made the experience. He made sure my son & I were taken care of. We got there about 5 mins before HH was over. He got the apps in as well as my cocktail. Most of the cocktails are sweet. I prefer spicy or tangy. The one I tried, I enjoyed. The lobster quesadilla & margarita pizza were both tasty. My son would say the best part of the evening was dessert. Restroom was clean. We'll be back, my son wants to order the cheese fondue.

    Dessert Yummy

    The server was pleasant and explained everything in a way that made the place exciting. we were able to customize our desserts for a wonderful dining experience. I enjoy going for the cheese fondue by iitself, or going for dessert, by itself. This restaurant is a perfect date night restaurant with soft lighting and attention to intimate detail.

    The lighting wasn't great but the filet mignonette and lobster were!!

    We have gone to the Melting Pot for years, usually on our wedding anniversary, across the country from Irvine, CA to Reston, VA and this location was easily one of the best. Make no mistake, it's a fondue/ cook your own kitsch place but if that's what you are looking for this is one of the best. The service with George was so good we will definitely ask for him when we decide to return. The service was great and the food was fresh. Try them on for a change of pace and ask for George.

    Great service every time I've come in! The servers are all so kind and are very attentive! If you want a new neighborhood haunt, they have $6 martinis for happy hour daily and half off cheese fondue! Nick the Bartender is the absolute best! I recommend the alpine cheese and pepper steak on a cast iron as pictured!

    We left soooo full and happy!

    Took my 6yr old son here for a special dinner and he loved it. We requested a private booth which they had reserved for us. The cheese and chocolate courses were great. Love the Yin Yang martini! He had a wonderful time and was the perfect age for his first visit.

    The Melting Pot (International franchise - 1 in Edmonton, Canada)- Viera, FL-4.5 Stars Looking unflatteringly at my random name generator, I was reminded that I forgot to remove chains from my parameters and lo and behold if one wasn't staring back at me, rather smugly I might add. There it was, just sitting there, The Melting Pot. The Genie of the Generator decreed it and who am I to disagree with a Genie?? To that end, I climbed in the Big Boy Mobile and pointed her north toward Viera and my dining destination. As a Gen Xer, I was familiar with Fondue as the country went through this Fondue craze in the 70s. I swear every dinner party I went to as a child someone had a pot of oil or cheese or chocolate on a burner with stuff to dip. As such, I have to say, I was looking forward to sampling their wares. I was here long ago when they first opened, and I have to say it was outstanding, but then the franchise was sold and the corner-cutting began (sadly). Anyway, for those that are unfamiliar with Fondue, you order your chosen protein and cooking method and they then bring the food and pot to your table. Basically, all the server has to do is bring you raw ingredients and be charming. Jordan was just that friendly and on the ball I mean hey, it's not like I am gonna complain about how my food is cooked. My waiter was Jordan and he was very personable and on point. I asked for a watermelon cooler to quench my thirst along with a Wisconsin Cheddar starter, and a three-course fondue of Filet, Shrimp and Herb-crusted chicken breast cooked Bourguignonne style sans batter and panko. It wasn't all that long before Jordan returned with the Wisconsin Cheddar, and my drink. I would be remiss here if I didn't mention their outstanding selection of non-alcoholic drinks, and while I went with the Watermelon Cooler, it was a hard decision to reach. The cooler was extremely pleasant to taste. It rang the bell. It wasn't overly sweet and had a very smooth finish leaving a delectable melony taste lingering ever so slightly. The Wisconsin Cheddar was so good, I had Jordan bring another plate of fresh fruits and veggies to immerse in this delicious concoction of melted Fromage. This consisted of Aged Cheddar, Emmenthaler, Sam Adams Boston Lager, Garlic and assorted spices. Delizioso! The key to any good fondue is the dipping sauce. Yes, the quality of protein is important, but that can sometimes be masked by the use of an outstanding dipping sauce. While the filet, shrimp and herb-crusted chicken were very good (the crust is firm and diverse) the sauces really are the stars here. The four sauces are a Curry Sauce, Horseradish Sauce, Steak Sauce and a Gorgonzola Port Sauce. Each sauce was an archetype of its genre, so to speak. They were all quite spectacular in their own right. The Big Boy Says, "If you're in the mood to go out to cook, you can't go wrong with the drink menu and the dipping sauces to be found at your nearest Melting Pot locale" #bigboy #bigboydiningout

    I came here one evening with the family for a Christmas dinner. We had known about this local…read morelegend for a long time, and decided that it was time to come and check it out. First of all, the ambiance is exquisite. Absolutely unparalleled in town in terms of effort. Every square inch of this place was done up for the holidays, and I hear they go just as hard for Halloween. It was fun and beautiful to look at. Really awesome stuff. Service was good, too. Very friendly, attentive servers who knew how the flow of a fondue dinner should go. Salads, cheese, mains, dessert. We were not rushed or delayed. All was well. As for the food, it was a night of a ton of fun, much like you would expect from this type of place. And it was also delicious. The whole table went for the Extreme Combination Trail. So one price yielded us a soup or salad, a cheese fondue, a main course, and chocolate fondue for dessert. I had the Southwest Caesar salad (Romaine, toasted croutons, parmesan Caesar dressing topped with a sweet red pepper coulis). A perfectly serviceable salad. I had no issues with this. Bright, fresh, crisp, and a good amount of the delicious dressings on top. Next came the cheese course. We got the Alpine Swiss (Gruyere, Emmenthaler, white wine, minced garlic & nutmeg). I liked the simplicity of the additions, just some garlic and nutmeg, but the flavors were potent and delicious. The fruit dippers were nice, but the veggie dippers were cut very roughly. Definitely gotta make those easier to dip and munch. Main course time, cooked on the hot rocks. Our Extreme combo came with Filet, Sea Scallops, Pacific NW Chicken, Fusion Shrimp, and Short Rib Bulgogi. I think places like these have to tell you how to cook these meats to a well-done temp, or something like that. But, you gotta use your head here. Don't cook that filet to well-done. Don't make that scallop so rubbery it bounces. Just, use your head. If you do that, these lovely little bites will cook perfectly and be perfect for dipping into their flavorful sauces. A great main course. Don't bother with the hot sauce flight, though. None of them are good enough to justify the cost and the sacrificing of the stock sauces that you get included. Finishing off with the chocolate fondue dessert course, I don't remember which one we choose, but I remember that they were delicious. Ooey and gooey, an excellent amount of fun dippers in the perfect size and shape for popping them in your mouth all in one go. A great end to a great dinner. Overall, this was a much better experience than the other fondue place in town. I can't remember the name. But the fondues have more flavor, the meats are just as good quality, and the atmosphere is 100% more warm and inviting. If you're reading this, debate over, come here.

We'd be in the middle of a course, and the next one would come. We were in and out in under 1.5 hours, which for fondue and four courses, it's was a little too quick. The food, however, is always consistent and delicious. The meal starts with soup or salad and bread. Followed by cheese, entree and dessert. What's nice is you can custom which courses you want and for the entree, you can customize your meat selections. The dining room itself is pretty. It's always decorated for holidays and it's never too loud. I'll continue to be back!

Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to them. The cheese flavors were very strong--so much so that they became a bit overwhelming and unenjoyable for me. The entrée was okay, but personally, I'd rather have my food fully prepared than cook it myself at the table. It just wasn't my preferred dining style. Our server was helpful, but since it was our first visit, we had several questions. At times, it felt like he may have been a bit bothered by them, which made us slightly uncomfortable. The food also took quite a while to come out--even though it was served raw--so we were a bit confused by the wait time. The highlight of the evening was when the manager approached us as we were leaving and invited us to take a photo at their photo booth. That thoughtful gesture really added a positive touch to the night. Overall, it just wasn't a dining concept or flavor profile that I see myself craving in the future.

Understanding the menu was kind of confusing at first, but our server explained it kindly to us. Since you have to share, I feel like this type of restaurant is best for 2 people at a time. I was with 2 other people and it felt like we were overloading our pot at times, especially during the meats course. The appetizer course was good! The cheese was yummy and I enjoyed the variety of dippers they provided. I was not a fan of the meats course -- by the time they cooked, they were flavorless and watery. Also, some of the meats wouldn't stay on the skewer while in the pot, causing us to search for it. Of course, since you cook it yourself, this could be user error. My favorite was the dessert course. Even though I didn't like the rest of our meal, I will probably be back just to enjoy the chocolate fondue. Service was friendly, but was not quick at all. We were at the restaurant for 3+ hours, and most of that time was waiting for our server to bring us our next pot/dippers. We came on a Wednesday night at around 5PM. Overall, I will be coming back but only for the dessert course.

Only open Thursday through Sunday, and seemingly only a single seating - arrive between 6 and 7, 9pm close. Service was excellent, and dietary restrictions (vegetarian) were accommodated with advance notice. This would be a great spot for an anniversary dinner or other special occasion. Everything my family ordered was excellent, from the dense, moist loaf of walnut sourdough to the wahoo entree. Each entree is served on a thick wooden cutting board with an artful array of garnishes for maximal flavor and textures. My vegetarian board was "chefs choice" (you get what you get, no requests or options possible) and it was excellent! It basically had all the fun garnishes and veg components of the other entrees plus whole roasted sweet potato.

Inside, it becomes something far more special. It feels as though you're not just dining out, but being welcomed into a family gathering. The warmth is immediate, genuine, and rare. The staff treated us as if they had known us our whole lives, and even surprised us with a personalized menu crafted just for our occasion; a gesture that spoke volumes. We've dined at Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, surrounded by lavish interiors and extravagant presentations. Yet none have captured the unique spirit we found here. 11 Maple Street offers something deeper: authenticity, heart, and a reminder of why we cook and why we gather around food in the first place. Each dish felt prepared with true soul, the kind of intention many chefs, including ourselves, forget in the pursuit of perfection and prestige. Last night, we found something we didn't realize we were missing until this experience brought it back to us. A genuinely unforgettable place. I'm beginning to tear up while I write this, because this treatment among strangers has become rare in this world, this place has truly touched my heart.

    THIS PLACE IS NOT CLOSED. IT JUST MOVED UPSTAIRS…read more I hope you're ready to read a dissertation, cuz I have a lot to write. lol. This past weekend we got to enjoy a really delicious and fun evening at the East End Market for our friend's birthday. La Femme du Fromage Upstairs is a private dining experience on the second floor of the popular East End Market, just above Domu. Dining here is by reservation only, so make sure to plan ahead. We had a group of 12 people, which was the max capacity this place can hold. This is a personalized dinner and wine pairing curated by the owner of La Femme, Tonda. She and her team took great care of feeding and entertaining us for a little over the 3 hours that we were there. The food was excellently prepared by Chef Dale and our table service was handled by Rob, who made sure our wines and drinks were always filled throughout the evening. Tonda is an expert in wines and cheeses, with over 30 years in the industry, traveling the world to learn the intricacies of both. Every course she brought out, she explained the history of the wine that was paired with it. Every cheese we tried, she explained what animal it was from and how it's prepared. She's such a burst of energy as well. You can really tell she loves what she does. Our first course (which I sadly forgot to take a picture of because I immediately inhaled it all) was a Brie fondue that was infused with champagne, shallots, garlic, and was topped with crab meat. Served with sides of roasted cauliflower, roasted carrots, apple slices, and a tasty crusty bread. (I cant for the life of me, remember what type it was) This dish was paired with a glass of Simonet Blanc de Blancs, a sparkling white wine. Every time I emptied my glass, Rob was nearby to immediately refill it. It was awesome! Our second course was a charcuterie plate of 3 cheeses, fresh blueberries and grapes, and wagyu beef salami. The first cheese presented was a soft spreadable sheep's cheese that was infused with truffle. It was earthy and nutty, and I was blown away by how velvety it was. The second cheese (and my personal favorite) was a coffee infused cow's cheese. I loved it so much that I also purchased a small block of it from Tonda at the end of the evening! The third cheese, if I remember correctly, was a hard goat cheese that was nutty and had a really cool texture when eating. The wagyu beef salami was amazing and paired really well with every cheese. All this was paired with a glass of Mommessin Beaujolais Villages, a fruity red wine. And of course, Rob was always ready to swing by and refill my glass when needed! The third course was a beef tenderloin, served with a side of asparagus and aligot, all topped with a delicious gravy. The beef was super tender, the asparagus still had a nice bite to it, and this was also my first time trying aligot. If you don't know what it is, it's a VERY cheesy mashed potato, and it's AWESOME! lol. This dish was paired with a glass of El Enemigo Malbec, a darker red wine from Mendoza. And yet again, my boy Rob was on deck to keep it coming! (I'm gonna shout out every chance I get) Finally for dessert, we had little vanilla and lemon shortcakes, topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. The cakes were moist and buttery and the strawberries were bright and lightly tart. The dessert was paired with a glass of Vietti Moscato d'Asti, a sweet sparkling white wine. This sweet wine was PERFECT for the sweet spongey cake. It was an absolutely delicious pairing. (And you already know Rob was getting the refill in) For anyone crazy enough to actually read all this. I hope you have the chance to go out and enjoy this place sometime. Tonda has a really special little spot here, and it deserves all the praise it gets. Chef Dale is a master of his craft, the food was amazing. And Rob is a damn good server who made sure we were always well taken care of. We will definitely be back soon, Tonda. Thank you for an awesome evening!
