If you mean the melting pot in Rockville, MD, its on Rockville Pike about 
1-2 lights from Montrose (if thats what Cherry Hill is called down there)
Behind the Texaco I believe, and next to the Put Put *struggles to remeber*

Its a good place, unique food. At: Dim lights, good for couples, and for 
parties of people. The tables are unique cause they have the burners in.

Melting Pot is a fondue place, it is not cheap.
There is a Combo dinner for $37 for two people, + ~$20 for another person
It includes, One of the cheese Fondues *Swiss or Cheddar* Both are good. 
Although if you are in to swiss, I would recommend that one. It bites a 
little more then the cheddar *they use a VERY mild cheddar*. Both are good.

A Salad, house or mushroom. *ITS A VERY Mushroom Mushroom salad*
and either Traditional Oil, or Bolloun Fondue.  
This entails seafood, veggies, and meats to bake with/without the two 
batters and/or sauces in the boiling pot. *Good food*

It can be very filling for some people. I was full, and I am a big eater. 

Even if your stuffed, its worth it to order the chocolate fondue.

For the money and being a college student, we decided to come back for 
the chocolate *its GREAT*. Its a one timer unless you can afford it.

Non alch/tax/tip etc was about $60 for two....
