Had a wonderful experience with my boyfriend here tonight. Our server Brian was great at explaining everything to us as it was our first time. It's expensive, even with the $50 groupon I bought I paid an additional $50 with tip. But it's worth it for a nice change of pace besides Italian places we always go to. Food was excellent! read more

I've been to other fondue restaurants, and to other Melting Pot locations, but this experience was the the best fondue experience, and the best dining experience I've ever had. I made a reservation in advance, and they seated us promptly. I asked for a more private booth, if possible as this was our 5-year anniversary when making the reservation and they placed us in "Lover's Lane". It was intimate, romantic, and quiet! You could also dim the lights. We had the 4 course experience, and each course was delicious. Our server, Damarys was patient, kind and accommodating. When we asked if they served Dr. Pepper, they said no, but left the restaurant to get some for us; that's quite some service. The manager, Michael, checked on tables often, as did Damarys, but they did so without being obtrusive. When our dessert course came, they brought us a plate that said Happy Anniversary on it with a candle - a really nice touch! We had the Bananas Foster dessert and the flambe made the experience more special. We were there for nearly 3 hours. It was the highlight of our weekend. It IS pricey, but you have to know that going in; it's why we saved an experience like this for something special. Parking can be a pain. You don't have to pay after 9 pm though. I would bring change because the parking "app" used in Bethlehem is a joke unless you're going there all the time (charges you $20 even if you only need $1.50). All in all, a fantastic experience. read more

I must start by saying I have been here before a few times actually and the melting pot is just more for the experience. Usually my experience here is pretty good, but this time not so much. So I got there with a friend about 5pm when they first opened now no one was in there, the hostess takes me and my friend all the way to the back of the restaurant and sits us at this little table, me and my friend asked to be moved, now remember I said the restaurant was completely empty, the hostess makes us wait up front to call someone to say "They don't want to sit at that table and I don't know how to change the seat in the system" THE RESTAURANT WAS EMPTY!! So after about 3 mins she takes us to a bigger booth. Our waitress I think her name was Talia was very nice. Now the melting pot is expensive, me and my friend order the food for 2 96$ and the only thing we liked was the salad and chocolate. We had shrimp, steak, chicken, salmon in the Coq Au VIN Broth!!! The broth smelled good but did absolutely nothing to flavor the meat. Everything was just bland on top of the whole dang mushrooms they give you for vegetables. Even the side sauces were just ok, I love green goddess sauce, but don't give me cream cheese and chives and call it green goddess. My Flaming Turtle Chocolate was great, but I couldn't even enjoy that because everything else was just UGH. Oh wait here is the best part so I guess the hostess was mad because we made her do her job and move us so every time she went past our table she would stare in disgust, roll her eyes. This young lady even went out of her way as our waitress was talking she looked around the waitress to stare. Yeah I honestly don't know if I will be back. I think I will save my money for some place else. Side note the manger was nice and was so apologetic about the food that we did get a discount, so we made sure our waitress had a nice tip read more

Don't pay any attention to the reviews that say that the meat tasted bad or was tough. You cook the food yourself, so that's your own stupid fault if you overcook your steak. To those that didn't know you had to cook your food, you're idiots. Is it really that difficult to do your own research?! Giving this restaurant a poor review because you couldn't bother to check out their website has nothing to do with them. Anyway, I love this place, my fiance and I come hear for our anniversaries and we even got engaged here. I have NEVER had a problem with any of the wait staff or managers. There is always someone around for help and they welcome questions. They are always good with parties (I've been to birthdays, bachelorette, and graduation parties here) and groups in general. Yes it can be expensive, but so would any other nice restaurant if you ordered an appetizer, salads, entrees and dessert, along with drinks. I have had nothing but great quality food and service. read more

I have been coming here for birthdays and special occasions for years. Yes it is pricey but you pay for the experience and the great dessert. The blackberry sage lemonade is to die for. The only complaint I have would be that they give you very little dipping foods and they are constantly bringing out more and more plates it does get cluttered. Additionally many of their dessert dipping choices are way too sweet and should consist of more fruits than cakes. read more

We went for my birthday, and the staff was very nice, and kept wishing me a happy birthday. We sat in lovers lane wich is row of small tables with a u booth, so that you and your significant other can sit close. We chose not to do the Big Night Out, and chose the ala cart, we did the Fiesta cheese, which was fantastic. I do wish you had been able to pick out meats/seafood, other then just what the suggested. I like filet and scallops together but it was not a choice. For dessert we chose the Flaming Turtle, milk chocolate, caramel and pecans, except she did chunky peanut butter instead for more of a "snickers" bar. It was delicious. I enjoyed the experience very much, and hope to go again, all though it was pricey. read more

Thoroughly disappointed in our New Year's Eve non-experience. I made a reservation weeks ago, knowing how popular the place is. When we arrived, we're told they have a fixed price menu. Ok - that's an option. No...that's the ONLY option that night. Which would have been ok but it's the same food they always serve at TWICE the price. We left, thoroughly disappointed. If they are going to do that, they should warn their customers when the reservation is made, however the reservation is made (we used some reservation app). Even if they'd warned us when they called to confirm I'd be less upset. But no...we made the hour trip for nothing. To their credit - which is what gets them 2 stars instead of 1 - is the fact the server/hostess offered to ask if we could order something different. It may have been a fake offer because the answer was no but she at least made the pretense. I'm sure we'll be back because we like the chain, but they ruined our night. read more

I had my daughter's surprise 18th birthday here last night. It was very good. It is very expensive, though. Definitely a bit overpriced. I was, however, willing to overpay for such a unique experience. I enjoyed the cheese, salad, and dessert courses more than the entree. I also think I'd be less shy about skipping the raw vegetables and having more bread for the cheese fondue course. Not the healthiest option, but likely the tastiest. Also don't be afraid to ask for containers to bring home the large amounts of cheese that will probably be left over like it was for us. You'll be happy you did! The party was a hit, everyone enjoyed it. Was the first time for everyone at the party and we were all a bit awkward at first, every one of us dropping our dippers into the pot until we got used to it. That was part of the fun. We all had good laughs along the way and we were all pros by the end of the night. read more

The Melting Pot - Fondue Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Went with my co workers after work. There were 10 of us we all sat with each other. Our server was fantastic, fast, knowledgable, and willing to help and answer our questions. Food was great, this was my seconded trip to a Melting Pot always enjoy the conversations & interactions while coking the food. We were able to share food and the dessert is to die for!!! read more

I try not to write bad reviews unless the establishment really drops the ball. Well in this case, they dropped the ball in basically every way possible. Got the the restaurant 15 minutes early for our reservation and got drinks at the bar. 2 bar tenders, one is training and another that was very nice and got us our drinks very quickly. So far so good. Got taken to our table and that's where our experience started going down hill. We got seated at 5:50 for reference. We ordered drinks and waters at 6. 20 minutes later the waitress (Shannon) asked us if we got our drinks. Our table was completely empty... Obviously we did not. 10 more minutes went by and we asked again about the drinks and was told that they were sorry and would take care of it for us. Not sure if they meant they were going to hurry up the order or comp us the drinks (neither happened). We ended up getting the drinks at 6:45. Waters never came. The manager came over to serve us our cheese at 6:30 (40 min after being seated). The young blonde manager boasted about how good their staff is and how other restaurants try to recruit their servers. This ended up being a joke between us because we would see our server every 30-40 min on average. We ended up ordering beers this time around, hoping they would come quicker. They did, only because another server got them for us. Our main course arrived around 7:30. We have been to Melting Pots before and understand it is a long process, so we didn't think too much of it. We made it half way through the meal and was asked if we need anymore sauces or batter. We had ran out of batter, so we said yes. It never came so we just finished our meal by putting the food in the oil without it. After finishing our meal we waited a long time for our table to be cleared. It was so long that one of us turned off the burner because the small pieces of batter in the pot were burning. Once cleared, our waitress came over to tell us about our chocolate options and stated that she would be back in a minute to take the order. She came back 20 minutes later and took our order. I believe at this point it was 8:30. At 9 the waitress came over and asked if we needed anything. Our table had been 100% cleared for 30 minutes at this point, no drinks, no plates or food of any kind. The waitress said that we would be taken care of and the manager would be right over. At 9:15 the manager came over all happy go lucky to serve us the chocolate. We stated our concern and the point that we had been there for 3 and a half hours with little to no service. She stated "It hasn't been that long, I will have to go look at your sheet." OUR RESERVATION WAS AT 5:45... We asked for our check as she told us that the kitchen is backed up. I am sorry, but the Melting Pot cuts food up and YOU cook it. That is not an excuse for your terrible service. We ended up getting our check just shy of 4 hours into the experience. $340, full price, never a sorry from the manager and she borderline called us lairs about how long we had been waiting. Her excuse does not warrant waiting over and over for each drink, food or service in general. This was our night out with friends without kids in a really long time. We had plans to go to other places afterwards but didn't get the chance because of our 4 hour dining fiasco. Food was good, the mixed drinks we were able to get were also very good. The service was TERRIBLE and we won't be ever going back. Based on some other peoples reviews, it seems like this manager and server have put people through an experiences like ours numerous times before. read more

I've been to the one in center city Philadelphia and King of Prussia, so I decided to check out their Bethlehem location. We do fondue at home, but as a restaurant it's a nice alternative. If you're new to the Melting Pot, they do something called "Big Night Out." This consists of a cheese fondue, salad, your main fondue (with the option of various cooking styles), and a dessert fondue. Share this with two-three people and you will leave "full." I got to try their Big Night Out theme: Pacific Islands. It was a nice change. I loved our Feng Shui Cheese Fondue, it consisted of: white wine, sake, mirin, Gruyere, horseradish and havarti. My salad/lettuce wraps were large and messy, but tasted fine. For cooking style we went with Fondue Bourguignonne (oil), which oddly our waiter suggested against. This is my favorite cooking style that they offer. The wine pairing was ok, but not impressive. I hear many new comers complain because they have to cook their own food during the main entree. I personally enjoy the experience, I like to eat what I cook. If you haven't been here before, I suggest dinning with someone who has and come ready to experiment. I should also mention this is the only locationI've been to that didn't have Icewine/Eiswein. read more

Simply fantastic. My girlfriend and I went here to celebrate her birthday and when I called ahead I asked for seating at the couple's tables in the back. They are small, isolated booths which are very romantic and have a single burner to share. Our waitress was absolutely amazing, she let us know the various ways in which we could order, and we decided to choose our own three meats as part of the "Fondue by You" experience. We ended up doing a four-course dinner consisting of cheese fondue, salad, entrees, and a chocolate fondue dessert. Each course was evenly spaced out, we didn't feel rushed, nor was the service too slow either. It was fun to be able to watch the cheese and chocolate fondues being made in front of our eyes, and cook our own meats and vegetables in the broth we picked out. Our waitress even brought out a little cake to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday - it was extremely thoughtful and unexpected. In all, we were at the restaurant for a little under 2 hours, to give a sense of the time the courses were brought out. The only drawback is the price - it's expensive. Be ready to pay $40 a person just for the four-course meal, plus 7-10 dollar mixed drinks. Our total bill for two was $100 before tip - but honestly it was worth it for the experience. Perhaps if I was in a louder part of the restaurant I wouldn't have enjoyed the experience as much, so I highly suggest asking in advance for a couples table in the back, as it made the atmosphere just much more quiet and intimate. Thanks to The Melting Pot for such an awesome night! I will be recommending it to all my friends and family this holiday season. read more

My boyfriend and I love The Melting Pot! We always leave stuffed. Our favorite chocolate is marshmallow fluff in the original chocolate.

I usually never review, but my experience tonight warranted a review. We had a reservation for 7 people at 630pm. Our table wasn't ready until around 645pm, but it was no worry, we didn't mind the little extra wait. Once seated, our waitress was great. All 7 people on our party opted one of 3 different variations of the Mothers Day special, 4 course meal. Once ordered, it took about 20 minutes for our first course to arrive.(cheese fondue). Our second course(salads) arrived about 20 minutes after that, around 735pm. After we finished our second course, we waited.... And waited... Finally around 820pm, a waitress came up to us and explained that they were running a little behind and food would be right out. It's fondue... They aren't cooking the meal for you, you do it yourself! We waited some more, and finally around 9pm, our thirds course was served to us. Not a single plate was correct. One of the variations had no chicken or pork with it,and they substituted some other meat, without asking or even telling us what it was. It also didn't come with the ravioli it was advertised with. The other variation of plate we ordered was missing the vegetables it was advertised with. Through all of this, our waitress was great. Very apologetic and trying to accommodate us any way possible. Not once did a single manager come over to explain the situation to us, apologize, or anything. By 930, we were served our last course, dessert. It came out prompt, and correct. All was well with dessert... Until we found cardboard stuck in the rice crispy treats! We pointed out the issue to the waitress, and once again she was totally apologetic, and sympathetic. And once again, a manager never came over. When the bill came, they did offer us a discount, but it was too little, too late. Had we gotten an honest explication, asked if they could substitute meats since they ran out of times, or even had the manager come over once, things may have been different. All the waiters and waitresses were running around crazy all night, while the managers casually strolled throughout the restaurant, seemingly not doing anything to help remediate the issues. read more

So expensive, so worth it. I've never had a greater time at a restaurant before. This place is amazing, and the staff was so friendly! I love it here, well worth it for a celebration kind of dinner. read more

It's pricey for a chain restaurant, but it's yummmmmmmy and they always accommodate my vegetarianism by allowing us to add a second burner. Plan to spend a solid 3 hours if you're going for the full 4-course meal! The service has been excellent every time I've gone. read more

If you are going as a couple, deffinitely suggest reserving lovers lane seating...atmosphere is great! The food was descent I must say, although I did not particularly care for having to cook my own food. For the price and the amount of food you get is pretty fair I suppose as well. Portions are not large and the only thing I was really disappointed with was the amount of dessert they give !! Would go again though in the future! Best drink: strawberry blonde martini read more

We went this past weekend for my cousins and sisters birthdays, we had rescheduled twice so it was really built up in our heads and we were just excited to go. It met and well surpassed expectations! We had an amazing waiter named Matt, he matched our energy well and didn't make us feel like a bother (because honestly we were a very loud table). He always came up with a smile, randomly made jokes with us and just overall further elevated our experience there. Yea this place can be a bit expensive, especially for a group of 6 but it is worth it when the wait staff has such great customer service skills. Definitely coming back for our next special occasion! Their sangria is on a Different Level of Good, my favorite of the cocktails I tried for sure. I mean I could go on and on, because the meal itself was so amazing the spinach and artichoke fondue was my groups favorite, I'm excited to try more cooking styles for the entrees but I loved the mojo flavor, the chocolates we tried were amazing and the pound cake it came with! We could've stayed forever, glad we came can't wait to go again, just everything about it was so fun and nice I wish my review did it justice on how great of a time we had. And just one more shout out to Matt, aka cookies & cream, our amazing waiter read more

Went here for restaurant week- not worth it. The food was average, the quality of the meat was fine but they had a "veggie polpette" that was awful. The worst part was that the service was sooooooooooo slow. We sat for 15 minutes at the table before anyone came to serve us. They charged us extra for something they told us was complimentary which we didn't even contests because it took so long for the server to come get our check we needed to just get out of there by that point. We sat down at 7:45pm and left at 10:30pm. I get that fondue is an involved dining experience but this was painful. read more

I was taken here on a special occasion. The food, service and decor were exceptional, however the price was a bit much for the amount of food we had gotten at the time (enough to serve a family of 4) amounting to about $105. I'd say it was worth it as I fondly remember that dinner, however next time I believe I'll just do fondue at home. I would recommend it, but only if you're ready for the expenses! read more

Everyone at this restaurant appears to be very friendly and knowledgable about what they are doing. The fondue is EXCELLENT, I absolutely love the Alpine fondue. I'm not that crazy about the steak course, being boiled in the broth and all, but everyone's different. The steak course is rather small too for the price. My favorite entree to get would probably be the Orange ginger duck. After being boiled by me at my table (love it) it gets so tender and delicious. I always start off adding the vegetables in and cooking them first it helps add flavor to the duck in my opinion. The dessert fondue is alright. I don't normally add this to my meal though. There's plenty of items given to dip into the chocolate. The atmosphere of the melting pots are very dark and romantic, as well as quiet with decent music playing. Defiantly would recommend. read more

Great semi quiet environment server was very pleasant. Food was delightful obviously you need to cook your own food but that's what makes this place great the conversations and the search and rescue missions for the lost partake that you put in there 20 minutes ago because they take forever to cook. The management was awesome came to the table frequent to see how was everything great service. This is a lovely place for a first date or a tradition kind of place. Would and will come again read more

Terrible experience. Came here for my friends birthday and the service was horrible. Waited for almost two hours for cheese and chocolate. Our pot was smoking and smelled bad and turns out there was something on the bottom of the pot. Our server didn't even know because she ignored us majority of the time. I will never come here again... completely disappointed. read more

Been meaning to try this place, and the Labor Day special seemed like a good introduction. The food was tasty, but we all came away feeling what we got was widely disproportionate to what we paid. In some cases what we received didn't even match what was advertised on the menu. By the time the check came, I didn't even have the energy to question the mysterious charge. First time I've been pushed to take my dessert to go outside of a TGIf. Lots of novelty here... Not much class. read more

We arrived and seated at 4:50 on Sunday. We left at 8:50!!!!! We were told two stories. 1. One chef didn't show. 2. They weren't prepared for busy night. The food was fine. Obviously everything was super slow. Four hours!!! People next to us two hours. Our waiter was kind and we felt not his fault. Evening manager gave us small discount for three free drinks, big whoop! Party of six adults three non drinkers. Took a half hour to get coffee that came after dessert over! Not happy. Dog at home will have dinner at 9:30 pm! Will not go back or recommend. read more

Either you look fondue places or you don't IMO. The menu isn't bad here, but honestly, if you are ballin' on a budget just go for cheese & chocolate. read more

Very expensive. Food is quality very good and my daughter enjoys the whole cook your own dinner experience. They go out of their way to see if you are celebrating anything, and if so they do something to make it special. They sat us in "lovers lane" this time since it was just 2 of us. It was pretty dark even with the lights all the way up. read more

Just had a really disappointing experience last night. We have been going to the melting pot for my sons birthday for the past several years. Usually a very fun experience. However last night started with waiting over 25 minutes to get our drinks even though the place was pretty empty. After ordering, waited another 30 minutes for salad to arrive. Very small house salad with old looking lettuce. After ordering another cocktail, we waited another 20 minutes for a $10 Bloody Mary that had no garnish and tasted like plain tomato juice. The 3 of us all had the four course meal. Waited long between each course. Meat entree seemed skimpy compared to other visits. Ordered coffee with dessert but to our added disappointment, there were no coffee beans available to make coffee! $235 plus tip for three people for a very dissatisfying experience that lasted an exhausting almost 3 hours! read more

The Melting Pot is my girlfriend's favorite restaurant. I really enjoy it too and think it is a great concept. You can go for a full four or five course dinner, or just come for wine, cheese and/or dessert. We went for Bethlehem Restaurant Week and it was only $30/pp for a 4 course dinner. The restaurant is located on Bethlehem's main thoroughfare. I've been to Melting Pots in Pittsburgh, Atlantic City, and now Bethlehem, but I'm focusing on our restaurant week visit to Bethlehem for this review. If you have never been to a Melting Pot restaurant, and have a signifigant other, this is the PERFECT place for a date. Most restaurants have a "Lovers Lane" aisle of tables, where you and yours can sit closer together, or for instance in Atlantic City, in a private booth with a frosted glass booth for extra privacy. We had reservations and were lead to our seats. We ordered drinks, my girlfriend had her favorite.. the Yin & Yang which has Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur, Stoli Vanil Vodka and ice cream topped with chocolate shavings. I've had a taste of this and it is, pardon my language, fucking divine. I stuck with my usual choice as well, a wonderful Blackberry Margarita and soon our first course was up. The first course is a cheese fondue and you have your choice of cheddar cheese, traditional Swiss, fiesta cheese, Wisconsin trio, spinach artichoke, or fondue a la France. Our favorite is the spicy fiesta cheese fondue made with a beer base, cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, and jalapenos. It includes fresh breads, vegetables and granny smith apples for dipping. Please remember that all members of your party have to be onboard with your choice of cheese as you can only choose one cheese fondue per cook top at your table. Feel free to ask for refills of dippers, though. The second course is a salad course and you have your choice of house salad, California salad, spinach mushroom salad, Caesar salad, or salad nicoise. My girlfriend chose the California Salad which had mixed-baby-salad greens, Roma tomatoes, walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese with Raspberry Black Walnut Vinaigrette. I found the Vinaigrette a little too sweet personally but I really enjoyed my Melting Pot House Salad which had Crisp romaine and iceberg lettuce, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, crispy croutons and sliced egg with the sweet and tangy House Dressing, but you have your choice of that or the Peppercorn Ranch Dressing. For the entrée course you had your choice of three different dinners. You could choose The Broad Street which had chicken breast, white shrimp, citrus pork, and asparagus, The New Street which was spicy chicken, spicy shrimp, spicy ny strip, andouille sausage or our choice of the evening, The Main Street which was garlic chili chicken, roasted garlic shrimp, teriyaki marinated sirloin, and lastly, spinach and artichoke ravioli. The food is delicious. Cook times vary from 1.5 to 3 minutes for each item and cooking it makes for a leisurely yet intimate dinner.. perfect for a date or special occasion. Last but not least, you have the Chocolate Fondue course, for dessert. Everything you could possibly want to dip in chocolate is there for the taking.. fresh strawberries, bananas, cheesecake, Rice Krispies Treats, marshmallows, pound cake AND brownies are there to dip into your choice of chocolate fondues. You have your choice of a Seasonal Fondue, The Original which is a signature milk chocolate with a swirl of crunchy peanut butter, the Disaranno Meltdown which has silky white chocolate swirled with Disaronno and is flambéed tableside(!), the Cookies 'n Cream Marshmallow Dream which is dark chocolate topped with marshmallow cream, flambéed, swirled together and garnished with crushed Oreo cookies, the Flaming Turtle which is milk chocolate, caramel and chopped pecans flambéed tableside, the Pure Chocolate Milk featuring dark or white chocolate melted for a pure chocolate fondue, the Bananas Foster which is silky white chocolate swirled with bananas and a dash of cinnamon and flambéed tableside, the Yin & Yang which is half dark and half white chocolate artfully swirled, the Chocolate S'mores which had milk chocolate topped with marshmallow cream, flambéed and garnished with graham cracker pieces, and then there's the Special Event.. where you create your own. Oddly enough, we chose one that was on the Restaurant week menu, and that was a Crème Brulee fondue. It was very rich, flambéed tableside, and went beautifully with all the available dippers. This is a decadent, filling experience and I'd definitely plan for a solid three hours if you're going for all four courses and drinks. This is a meal meant to be leisurely and I've never , ever felt rushed here. If you've never been, by all means put this place on your to-do list! read more

I've come to this location for several years now, and on average around 2-3 times per year. The food is phenomenal. I like the "cook your own dinner" spin to it and the cuts of meat and chicken are very good quality. What really irks me is the long, drawn out process it tends to be. 3 hours is a little too much time for dinner. I get, it's a lot of food, and none of us want to feel rushed, but I honestly think it can be done in 2 hours....4 courses, 30 min each. read more

I have been to the melting pot many times. But never this location. I was super excited to bring my boyfriend who has never been & it was not the best experience. Portions seem to get smaller and smaller, the salads looked like a 10 year old made them, the chocolate was cold, and the server went over nothing about the menu. She didn't give much guidance as we asked questions about the menu. Overall disappointing trip. I am not sure if I want to go back since it is so much money to be spending on a mediocre dinner. read more

This USED to be my daughter and I favorite place since they opened... We were there EVERY week 3-4 times a week and dropped a few hundred each visit. Tonight we went there at 8:30pm and they turned us down for dinner when there was literally NO ONE ELSE in the restaurant!!! I've NEVER been so embarrassed and pissed in my whole life at what this place has turned in to! They didn't close until 10pm, which means they should be taking people until TEN PM!!! I will NEVER go back there and deal with their rude immature and incompetent staff!! There was no one at the hostess stand, we stood there for 15 minutes before I had to go to the bar and ask for someone and a drink while I waited and SHE was rude AF and asked if I had a reservation and said well I don't know if we can serve you!! Whaaattttt!!??! The least she could've done is get me a drink after I paid for parking and then to get denied dinner was complete BS! Whoever is running those place nowadays is running it into the ground with it's young incompetent staff! They only cared about getting out by 11pm! Do not waste your money because this place is over a $200 dinner for 2 people and their drinks are watered down, overpriced and suck anyway!!! They have cut back on everything with their portions and their staff as well! read more

I made a reservation to the melting pot tidy and he to cancel it because I got into a huge car accident I called the melting pot to be courteous and cancel my reservation and the women that picked up the phone did not care at all! She didn't even ask for my name or anything! How unsympathetic! Especially on Mother's Day :( read more

What a wonderful way to spend a night out. The managers and the wait staff were extremely attentive and made sure we were satisfied with our meal. Food was great as well. I recommend doing the Classic Four Course Meal because you can choose from many different options. Definitely a go-to in the Lehigh Valley. read more

Gina was phenomenal! We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of course but when we come back we're definitely coming back for the service! Would rate higher than 5 stars if we could, thank you Gina!! read more

Where to begin... don't go here if you have a party more than 3-4 people. I was in a group of 10 we made our reservation and selected all of our meal options in advance. So the kitchen knew what to expect and what needed to be prepared for the night. I'm not sure how long the waitress had been there but she seemed to be new. I understand we had a large party so things take a little more time. Understandable. But the fact of the matter is there is no reason there should be more than an hour space between each of the courses: cheese and the entree and then dessert. Once everyone finishes their food plates should be removed instead of having the customer sitting there with empty plates and glass for more then 30 mins. The first red flag should have been when the waitress said "I will be one of your serves" wrong she was the only server. Between the cheese and entree there was a huge lap of time where we were just sitting there with the cooking broth boiling and no entree. I went to the manager advised him of the issue and he said he would give our party a round of drinks on the house. And have another general manager come in and help speed things up. We got the drinks in 5 mins flat 'amazing' but there was no additional help. Entrees were finish and again we sat there with our empty plates and glasses. 20 mins go by no sign of our waitress so back to the manager I went. Service continued to go down hill, getting to dessert was another 20-30 minutes. Finally we finished dessert and sat yet again after asking for the checks, which we stated when we made the reservation and at the beginning of the meal they would be separate and we were told that was not an issue. The manager who barely could breath in his unbuttoned blazer came in and tried to make small talk and apologize; advised us the drinks would be taken off the check. So 1 drink, and some people didn't even drink. He asked "is there anything else I can offer you?" My reply: "No I'm fed up and I would just like my bill." He walked out like a dog with his tail between his legs. 15-20 minutes later surprise our waitress shows up with the bills thank the lord I had cash because apparently if you want to use your card good luck ever leaving. I've been to plenty of restaurantes across the Lehigh Valley and I've never in my life had such disgustingly slow service. The food was good but you cook it yourself. Terrible service ruined the meal. Good job melting pot maybe you should take a look at your management and staff. read more

Went here to eat with some business associates one night. None of us have ever been here so thought we would try it. The servers were very polite and prompt. It was dark at our table, had to hold the candle by the menu just to read it. The service was great, the food was just meh. Definitely not worth the prices they charge. Doubt I will ever eat here again. read more

My wife and I went there for the first time last weekend and we really enjoyed it. The food was excellent, the service was super, the drinks were very good and the overall experience was great. Part of what we love about it is that it is more of an "experience" than just eating out at a regular restaurant. It did take several hours from the time we got there until we were finished and this is part of what we enjoyed. You are not rushed as in many restaurants and the way this dining experience is set up, you don't want to rush through it. We did the four course meal and everything came out in a timely manner - not too slow but not rushed either. If you are a couple, I suggest you ask for a seat in "lovers lane", a private secluded area of the restaurant that makes your dining experience even more intimate. read more

Not a fan of cooking my own food, but I love the cheese & chocolate fondue. Cocktail specials are awesome too!
