Melting Pot

The Melting Pot does the four-course fondue experience: cheese course, salad, entrée (you choose protein and broth), chocolate dessert. It's deliberately slow and interactive, which means either brilliant date night or awkward family obligation depending on your company. They've been doing this for more than three decades in Tampa, and the craft beer and wine list keeps it from feeling gimmicky.

Friday or Saturday evening—you get the later closing time, the place is full enough to feel like an event, and you're not rushing through a work night.

Order the four-course dinner for two and skip the à la carte; it's the intended experience and you'll taste why they've lasted three decades.
