About the restaurant

At the Melting Pot we specialize in fun and interactive four-course fondue dinners, great for every occasion. The fondue experience begins with a savory cheese fondue prepared tableside, followed by your choice of fresh salad. For the main event, choose from a wide variety of tantalizing meats, seafood, and fresh vegetables, certain to please even the most particular of palates. Then cook them tableside in one of our savory broths or even in traditional oil. All of our entrée selections are paired with our famous house dipping sauces, including the garden fresh green goddess, our sweet teriyaki glaze, and the tangy ginger plum sauce. And just when you think it couldn't get better, the grand finale: a choice of decadent chocolate fondues presented with a platter of sweet bits for dipping.

This was my first time going to a hibachi grill. I am not I had my reservations. Not about the food but the atmosphere and truly catching the shrimp. Our server was on point be available but not to much letting us I enjoy the experience l. Let me say this I never ran out of ice tea. The chef was engaging and was great at what he does. Cooking and bing a showman come natural to him. It was a little moxie bit with how open you need this concept to be I think it a small and minuscule note when comparing to all the positives of this evening. We will definitely be back.

Jakers Bar and Grill was an unexpected treasure! We enjoyed our entire visit! Our meals were delicious! We started with the Tender Steak Bites & Mushrooms, then each had a delicious salad… both were excellent! I enjoyed the Fish & Chips and my fiancée enjoyed the Coconut Shrimp with Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The Irish beer was most excellent! Our server, Ms. Sherry, did a wonderful job meeting our needs! We will definitely have to make another visit!

Our waiter, Hamid, was just delightful! So patient, kind and made all of our party feel so welcomed and valued. The Macadamia Nut Chicken and potatoes are SO DELICIOUS! Our group of 6 shared a huge piece of Carrot Cake after dinner. It is "The Very Best" carrot cake any of us have ever had in our lives! OMG! You must try it! If you like carrot cake, this will give your taste buds such a treat and t is made in house, at Kona Grill, too! We enjoyed our visit to "The Village" in Meridian, Idaho and will look forward on returning to eat at The Kona Grill, next time we are in town!
