Q: YEAH for breakfast sandwiches! I love finding the time to sneak over there before work and grab a delicious breakfast sandwich. They are fresh and made with tender, love and care. I don't frequent the Laurel Market as much as my Mom does who goes to fill up her coffee 3-4 time a day but regardless, these women are hooked! Friendly and hard working staff. Great beer and wine selection. Perfect neighborhood hang-out. OPTIONS:

Q: The only problem I've had is that the spray tan machine has been down every now and again, which I get but super annoying still. Friendly staff. Great spray tan (use the barrier cream on your hands and feet). They do charge you for all the little add ons so even if you buy the groupon, you're still spending $18 for a spray but that's still a good deal! I like this place if you're in need of a quick spray tan :) OPTIONS:

Q: My quick summary: Perfect for splurging on a romantic evening. My fiance took me here last night for an overdue romantic evening together. I had never been to The Melting Pot before because I didn't understand paying so much to cook most of your own food. But if my sweetie is paying... Well sure, why not? :P I was immediately impressed. The hostess seated us immediately, took a complimentary picture for us and our waitress arrived to take our drink orders right away. Their blackberry sage lemonade may just be my new favorite drink. My fiance had a margarita, the waitress recommended it because she was also this evening's bartender and makes a mean Margarita. Well, she was right. And our service was never lacking. Quite a feat to bar tend and serve us all at the same time. She also knew what changes had to be made to all the courses we ordered for my gluten free dietary needs, they're very well trained there. The tables are small, intimate, and closed in by a curtain. There is a small burner at the back of the table for the fondue pots to be heated up on. The booths were quite comfortable. And the low lighting certainly creates a romantic feeling. The first course was a gluten free beer and cheese fondue with scallions on top. They brought us bowls on fresh veggies (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots) and bowls of crisp Granny Smith apple slices. I'd never eaten fondue and had no idea what to expect. But the flavors were amazing. It was creamy, cheesy goodness that was paired very well with the vegetable and fruit flavors. The second course was a Wisconsin wedge salad. This course was OK, but not my favorite. It wasn't bad, but it's really just a partial head of iceberg, ranch, bacon and a flavorful cheese on the side. This is just my prejudice. I don't like only iceberg in salads. It's bland and holds almost no nutritional value. Our third course was the main meat course. We got extra shrimp (had to substitute out some pasta), pork tenderloin, buffalo chicken, slices of beef, and more veggies. They bring you sectioned plates for all the dipping sauces, a plum based one that's like a sweet & sour, a yogurt curry one, a creamy cheese one good with Buffalo chicken, and a creamy veggie dip. They told us exactly how long to cook each meat so it gets cooked perfectly. It was all seasoned perfectly with a small amount of heat. Everything was quite flavorful. Our dessert course was the S'mores chocolate & marshmallows, minus the graham cracker crumbles. They were even kind enough to bring my fiance a small plate of rice crispy treats because those aren't certified gluten free, but he loves them. And we shared a plate of large strawberry slices, pineapple, marshmallows, and banana slices. One word: divine. The chocolate was rich, creamy, and addicting, with a hint of marshmallow. Their dessert is the perfect end to a romantic meal. I've heard a lot of people complain about the price, but I think it is really a fair deal. Now, hear me out before you throw rotten produce at me. A full meal here takes at least an hour and a half, probably more like 2 hours, or more depending on this size of your party. It does not have the quick turnover the vast majority of restaurants have. And it's really about paying for the experience. It's fun, romantic, and if you've never had fondue, a learning experience. I think this will easily become my go-to romantic date night location... However few and far between they may be. OPTIONS:

Q: Minus 1 star: Maybe I got unlucky but my first try was a flop. I'll start by saying I should probably be shot for greed because my coffee budget is obscene. So I know what I'm saying when I say the mint mocha breve I got was made wrong. It was the seriously sweeter than the banana pudding milkshake from Chic Fil-A I had yesterday. Minus 2 star: I rarely complain about a drink but I did tell the lovely gal who made it that it was too sweet. She didn't seem happy and I'm non-confrontational so I asked if I could get some coffee to mix it with. She said no then thought about it and said I could just pay for a coffee refill. Now I'm sitting here with $7 of drink (I tipped before I got the drink) and it's still far too sweet. Owell.. know for next time right? Don't judge Dilworth Coffee by this location though!!! I've been to other ones around Charlotte and they are excellent. The one on Matthews-Mint Hill Road is amazing! OPTIONS:
