If your staying at Spring Hill Marriott, then Black Angus is across the street, and Mahi's is 1 block down. That way you can avoid driving. Mahi's has the view, and there will be a band outside Fri, Sat and a killer band on Sunday starting at 6. For some low key drinks and relaxing atmosphere try Chix cafe next to Mahis. It's nice to sit on the patio and knock back some cold ones.

As someone who used to work at Melting Pot, I will say that it's overpriced for what you actually get. You're paying for the experience, and it honestly is a lot of fun and forces you to take your time (we usually take 2 1/2 hours from start to finish). That being said, we'll probably never go back because we bought a fondue pot and discovered how easy (and cheap) it is to do fondue at home that tastes just as good ![Happy](https://www.vadriven.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
If you do go to Melting Pot, and you want a more private dining experience, ask for table 7 when you make the reservation![Wink](https://www.vadriven.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Don't go to Catch..tourist spot. Over priced and hyped way too much NTM too loud for dinner for two. Gave them and their upscale private dining restaurant "Salacia" plenty of chances to impress me and make up for past experiences and they failed every time.
RC is having that three course meal for 90 a couple.. I would do that or the pot if you are looking for something new.

its catch 31, not 21, cuz its on 31st street. also if you go to town center on the intersection of independence and virginia beach blvd's there are tons of good restaurants like pf changs (where i used to work, chinese food), cheesecake factory (regular american dishes), california pizza kitchen (pizzas pastas and salads), bravos (italian), red star tavern (bar/dining), and a bunch more -- and theyre within blocks of one another so if you look at their menus and decide not to eat there theres a restaurant across the street

I wouldn't eat at Mahi Mahs. We had a business dinner there one time and roaches were crawling all over the walls. Now I understand just about every restaurant has bugs, but most keep them out of plain view. They saw them and simply did not care. Others that frequent Mahi Mahs say its a normal thing. Just my 2 cents.

and yes, you're right, not everything is premade.
sysco simply packages everything up into certain portions... may it be lettuce, tomatoes, lemons or crushed red pepper. for those who might not know.
another place i've heard good things about is Salacia on the top of the Hilton? i think. anyway. very classy/upscale.
could try that and let us know, unless someone else here has dined there before.
