Melting Pot

San Mateo, CA

We came here for a little gathering of friends near our house with K, J, L and B. 

We all chose the Classic four course menu

SPINACH ARTICHOKE

Fontina and Butterkäse cheeses, spinach,

artichoke hearts and garlic.

SPINACH MUSHROOM

Fresh spinach, baby Portobello mushrooms,

red onion, chopped bacon and Roma tomatoes

with a warm Burgundy Shallot Vinaigrette

~

THE MELTING POT HOUSE SALAD

Crisp romaine and iceberg lettuce, cheddar cheese,

fresh tomatoes, crispy croutons and sliced egg

with a choice of Peppercorn Ranch Dressing

or sweet and tangy House Dressing.

~

THE CLASSIC

 Seasoned choice

Angus sirloin, Memphis-style BBQ pork medallion,

Pacific white shrimp, herb-crusted all-natural breast

of chicken, and teriyaki-marinated sirloin

We were given plates with compartments for the different types of dips.

CHOCOLATE S’MORES

Milk chocolate with

marshmallow cream, flambéed

and topped with bits of graham

crackers

It was generally a wonderful experience.  Service was great until the arrival of the cheque.  The sales tax line item on the bill was calculated with a higher % than we anticipated.  When we raised the question to the manager,  he could not tell us the rate for San Mateo county and did not provide a satisfactory answer.
