Visiting the area for a lacrosse tournament and wanted my 13 yr old to have this experience. I haven’t had fondue in years or been to The Melting Pot in a very long time and this was such a fun experience. Great server and food was really good and fresh. And it was so nice that they had GF bread.

I always order a salad to take home with me. Our waiter told us they were out of to go containers. I understand there are supply shortages but not having a container to take out at a restaurant is not acceptable. Otherwise our food and service were excellent.

It was our first time eating at The Melting Pot and it was really good. I made the reservation online and was able to add flowers to our table. When we arrived, the manager greeted us kindly and took us to our seats. The beautiful roses were already on the table in a very cute arrangement and vase. The little booth was so private. You can't see anyone else unless they are actually walking by your table. There was dim lighting above the table and a lit candle in the corner of the booth. I loved the setting. Our server I believe his name was Josh, was very polite and very knowledgeable of the menu. He knew we were first timers and explained everything so well. We did the couples 4 course meal. We started with the fondue cheese and we chose the spinach and artichoke dip. It came with a charcuterie board filled with breads, apples, and grapes to dip in the pot. Then we had our salad. I am very picky when it comes to salads and I loved it. Then the meats and veggies came out for us to cook in our pot. We chose the steak lovers option and all the meats were tasty. Last but not least was the milk chocolate fondue. A plate of fruits and desserts came out for us to dip. We definitely enjoyed that also. So our first time was very pleasant! I would definitely recommend for a date night out.

The evening went well, we enjoyed the food very much, however the service was sporadic at times. The staff was stretched thin and it showed as we waited with our coke glasses by the table edge ( a move made 5 minutes after empty to gain attention to the fact) for 3-4 minutes with our waitress and her trainee passing by multiple times. The Melting Pot needed either more staff to accommodate their tables seated or to not seat more tables continuously. Otherwise it was a decent experience.

Food was good. Lighting was horrible because they ran out of candles!! That is just not good for a quality place that costs you well over $100 for 2. Took too long. We were there 90 minutes and had to leave before dessert. Theatre tickets. They did offer to go and gave us credit. Will go back but honestly disappointed as it is one of my favorites.

The food is always delicious here but the service left room for improvement. Our waitress took our drink order and said she'd be right back. Well we didn't see her for another 20-25 minutes. After watching her check in with the table diagonal to us multiple times, it was clear that she had forgotten about us. I tried to catch her eye but she never faced our direction. Finally, I called out to her (which was embarrassing for all of us) before she had left the other table once again, she was utterly shocked that we were sitting there and asked how long we had been waiting there. She apologized and offered the dessert addition ($10) for free. Something we wouldn't have gotten in the first place but I guess it was better than nothing.

Few things...overall we had a good experience at the melting pot. If you’re doing the whole experience set aside a lot of time. It took us 2.5 hrs to finish. Next time I’ll only do the cheese and chocolate. I was impressed with our server. We had a mishap with our pot and it fell through allowing water in. Even though we were almost completely done with our dessert board he brought out a second serving since ours got ruined. I only gave it a 3 for ambiance because there was a lot of excessive chatter and loud laughter from the server with the table next to us. When eating out I know you’re going to have that but I still like it to be a relaxing experience and this gossiping was very distracting.

Maybe my new favorite restaurant! It’s an experience, not just a meal. Delicious food and lots of fun. Only one complaint: paper straws. I know we want to save the environment, but no one could possibly enjoy drinking from a paper straw.

Really meh experience. The server was nice. Food took forever to get. I have no idea why, there weren’t that many ppl and we cooked our own food. The food was very mediocre. The steak and so forth basically tasted like cheap stirfry a relative who doesn’t cook well concocts together, yet it costs basically the same/more than a steakhouse experience. The fondue was fine. THE MUSHROOMS WERE UNWASHED AND COVERED IN DIRT?? I ended up washing them in my water cuz the server was gone for a while and it took so long to get the food I didn’t feel like sending it back and waiting more. It’s a fun concept but honestly would never go back.
