    I know the restaurant from their exploits in Elgin and I'm a big fan! Menu hasn't changed much since I ate with them at Oak Valley. The chicken wings were the BEST The wine list very good and delicious (we had a Rosè & a Pinot which were nicely chilled) Service from Hilda was superb and attentive

    We loved everything about The Melting Pot. The food was delicious, the waiters warm and engaging and sitting under the trees on the front patio, soaking up the atmosphere of beautiful De Waterkant was wonderful!
