The Hot Spot--a Restaurant Review


                
The
Hot Pot was a new experience for me--an enjoyable one. I discovered it
through one of those 'pay $20 for $40 worth of food' and it was
something I hadn't experienced before so off we went.

    
We
had the Hot Pot For 2 ($29.99) consisting of : 2 broths--we chose the
house Style and vegetarian--2 seafood dishes--shrimp and fish balls
(they were out of scallops--don't order the fish balls)--2 vegetables--
nappa cabbage & baby bok choy--2 starches-- mung bean noodles (very
unmanageable LOL) and brown rice--we added 2 meats chicken and beef
($5.99 each)--I had coffee ($1,50) and was sort of surprised that I was
charged for a  refill--Allen had his usual coke ($1.50).
For dessert we shared the mochi ice cream--not to our liking--$4.99--and excellent beignets ($3.99)

     
The check, before the coupon deduction, with tax and tip came to $69.76
The
2 hours we were there only 2 other parties came in but it was that
in-between hours of 4-6 PM Our server, Tiffany, was very good explaining
everything to us plus enjoying the way we ate everything up! LOL I was
intrigued by the 'hot plate' and how it worked.

    
 Aside
from the fish balls and  mochi the food was fresh tasting and the fact
that they were out of scallops on a Friday wasn't a good sign.

 


I did enjoy The Hot Pot experience but it isn't something I would be doing again soon.
WARNING: Right next store is a Weight Watchers office!!!!

BY THE WAY THIS ISN'T MEANT AS A STATEMENT!
