    We come here every year for my birthday the Melting Pot never fails to amaze me! This is my favorite restaurant and favorite melting pot location that I've been to!!! The staff are all super nice and accommodating. The birthday decor you can purchase is so worth it. The food is always super fresh and delicious. You will be absolutely stuffed by the time you leave here. Also my favorite drinks ever are here including the strawberry blonde martini. Only downsides are it is pricy and sometimes th seafood is a hit or miss.

    Really good fusion for fondue! Never had anything like it. They have an extensive selection of cheese sauces. Wine was good. Service was amazing.

    Very pleasant experience. Came on a Wednesday evening at 6:30pm for their Crave Combo. $38 for two for a cheese and dessert fondue, bar dining only. There were three bar seats left so I was able to snag two for my friend and I. Our server was very friendly and efficient. I liked that they did notice my friend and I were catching up and talking a lot so they did minimal interruptions which is always appreciated and didnt feel forced on their behalf either. We decided on the alpine cheddar fondue with came with vegetables, bread, apples and grapes. The smell of the cheese was not the best but it was very delicious. We added the sausage dippers and it was very delicious. I also added their garden salad which was delicious! It tasted super fresh and the vinaigrette gave it a sweet but subtle taste and it all paired well with the cheese fondue. We decided on the ying and yang chocolate fondue was it was great to enjoy a nice sweet treat after the cheese and catching up with my friend. All delicious. Came with brownie, rice crispier, starters, banana and pound cake bites. It had been a while since I had visited and im glad I did. Not expensive for the two of us and honestly it was all very filling and nice for a Wednesday dinner. Definitely will be back.

    I don't even know where to begin! We had a reservation at 8, and were seated within minutes of being there. I paid extra for candles since it was our anniversary, and had told them prior that it was. Madisyn was one of the best waitresses we have ever had. This isn't just dining, this is a wonderful experience. She was so wonderful with explaining everything as it was my first time there. The flaming turtle was delicious, along with the French onion Gruyere cheese! It was amazing for our two year anniversary. The entire restaurant felt comfortable and like we were the only ones there. We will DEFINITELY be back soon!!

    The pickle cheese was something new. And interesting I've never tried. It was for pickle lovers not my favorite the Alpine Swiss was creamy and delicious the raspberry vinaigrette Gorgonzola salad has candy pie nuts. It's delicious. The rest of the meal was absolutely delicious. I had never had the lobster at home. That was great with lemon and butter. Cajun shrimp was something new to me and really good. We enjoyed two different cooking styles.

    Sat at the bar for the weekly special! They do have a good bit so check them out. The alpine cheese and yin yang chocolate dippers were both delicious. Indoor seating only. Staff was friendly!

    Amazing dinner out with coworkers! We decided just to do cheese and chocolate. We had a group of 6. We had Lucas as our server and he was amazing! We did the Wisconsin cheddar and Alpine Swiss. Both soo good. We added on the charcuterie (must do!) and double dippers (good but could live without). The only thing I really missed with the cheese is there used to be more variety of bread maybe a pumpernickel? For chocolate we did the coockie butter and dulce de Leche. I'm not normally a big dark chocolate fan but the dulce de Leche was amazing!! This is such a fun girls night or date night option! If you go ask for Lucas!

    I'm always going to love this place. I've been visiting for years and I know that it's not the new, trendy hotspot, but it's a franchise that never disappoints. The food, service, and ambiance is always 5 stars and it's one of my favorite restaurants for date night because the experience is so unique from other dining experiences. That's what makes it special. I love requesting a private booth for added romance and we usually spend about 2 hours getting through the courses. We usually go with the 4 course dinner for two and these are some faves: 1) Cheese: Spinach artichoke fondue. Just give me all the bread and apples! 2) Salad: California salad because candied pecans on salads with a berry dressing is always the move. 3) Entree: For broth, we stick with the traditional court bouillon. Can't really go wrong with any of the meat combos but I usually get the Pacific Rim and that teriyaki steak is BOMB, especially with all those yummy sauces -- you can just dip to your heart's content! My husband loves the duck. 4) Chocolate... all of it. ALL OF THEM. Flaming turtle. Yin and Yang. S'mores if you're an OG. Love the brownie and blondie dippers. You will want to lick the bowl but that could be dangerous.

    Soo good! I went with my mom, and a friend and her mom for my birthday and it was such a fun experience! We got the cheese fondue and then we got the baked potato fondue, and for dessert we got the cookie butter crunch fondue. Dinner was very good and the service was great! They brought a plate with bread, fruit, and other things to dip in the two cheese fondues. For dessert they brought brownie pieces, waffle pieces, pound cake pieces, and more! I honestly don't think I have had such a tasty dessert as that! We were all stuffed by the end, and for my birthday they brought a plate with my name in chocolate, and a chocolate covered strawberry! I loved this place and will definitely be back again!

    Food is always awesome at The Melting Pot. Some people like the argue about the portion size but I feel like it's a pretty good amount considering the different courses. Plus the main reason to go here is for the experience! I recommend signing up for their fondue club, where you put your email address in and your birthday and anniversary date... They'll send you a coupon for six free chocolate dipped strawberries! Make sure to sign up in advance and you'll get that coupon for the month of your birthday ... You'll need to make sure you mention the strawberries when you reserve your table the day before. Our waitress was great! I think her name was Jay? I don't know I can't remember (mom brain), but she was about 22, black woman, from Waxhaw and very very personable. She made me feel very comfortable and of course added to the great experience. I mention her just in case management reads reviews.

    If you like fondue, that's the place to go. They've got meats, vegetables, fruit all of which you cook at your table. It's great fun.

    Ask the Community - The Melting Pot

    Do they accept walk-ins?

    We strongly recommend reservations to guarantee you a table!

    Is the tip automatic or custom? and do they have Coke Cola drink options or tea or just alcohol and water?

    Tip is custom They do have Coca Cola Products, in addition to tea, water and spirits.

    So I noticed the food is raw at the table ,Do they cook the food in front of you?

    No, you cook it yourself in a fondue pot in the broth of your choice.

    This place blue my mind…read more I was visiting my best friend while in town for a conference on amusement ride standards. We had a reservation for Blue Door for Saturday night, and it was amazing. Now while she was vaguely aware of their "spirited kingdom" menu, I had NO CLUE. It was the best surprise! They have such a cool menu with a full theme park map containing 4 lands with 4 cocktails each. The cocktails all match the type of ride they are, it's honestly such a cool idea, and it was so well done. I loved the art. I will say, I was skeptical that all of their drinks would actually work and worried that they'd be too caught up in the theme to make results but . . . Oh my goodness I was so impressed by the drinks here. I think a lot of bars these days can get so caught up in trying to be unique that their drinks become nearly undrinkable. This place definitely doesn't suffer there. They brought us an aperitif when we came in, but unfortunately I have a blueberry allergy so we skipped that. We had 4 drinks between the 2 of us and they were all awesome. I ordered the star breaker and the green dragon (what can I say, I love gin and a good coaster), and they were both balanced and tasty. My friend got the diablo and the neon shift, and they were both fantastic as well! The neon shift was served with a black light too which was super cute. The one drink I have to call out specifically is the green dragon. There was something about this drink that was so unique, I have genuinely never had anything like it but I would order it a thousand times over. It's so good. It keeps me up at night. It haunts my every bar order. I will be writing home about it. What else can I say about this place - the service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the DJ was amazing. I thought "wow this guy really likes sax covers" only to look over and see him PLAYING HIS SAXOPHONE LIVE?? Iconic. This place was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The spirited kingdom menu will only be around for 6 months according to the waitress, so definitely catch it while it's there! If I'd heard about it sooner, I would've maybe descended upon them with 200+ theme park engineers in town for the conference (maybe it's a good thing I didn't know they were there until after it was over), but instead I will just say DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW

    3.5/5 stars. Went back to Blue Door to give it another chance with the new menu... it's still my…read moreleast favorite cocktail bar in all of charlotte. The menu this time is theme park theme... again, a fun concept but not well executed. Pretty overwhelming, especially with the bartenders explaining the menu to us twice with the same spiel there is too much to look at it makes it difficult to pay attention to the drinks. I really did not love my drink (starbreaker?) you could only taste the lychee The bartenders not a vibe, it was not that comfortable to sit at the bar. They now serve food, hotdogs... which do NOT match the vibe at all, so that was interesting that their only food (other than the free popcorn) is not hot dogs..

    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague…read morerecommended we come here after dinner for drinks. There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

    Ugh, I so wanted to LOVE this place! It's in my friend's neighborhood and near some other spots we…read morelove. But it just hit me as average. It's a small intimate setting and I do love the dark aesthetic they did. Gives it a swanky vibe and makes a great date spot. But they were burning incense in the tiny space and it was overwhelming. The other bar guests sitting next to us agreed. *They did finally pick up on it and the staff moved it toward the kitchen door* Staff was friendly as well, though, it was busy and looked as if they had a trainee in tow, so attention was lacking just a bit. So why we came: The drinks were average to me. One was weird (Pineapple Fried Rice) and I just couldn't get it sit well on my palate - and I tried - sip after sip. But the mixologist saw my struggle and swapped it out for a different one. I did like the Don't Shy Away - it was an interesting take on a margarita with a strong carrot base. The Whispering Dove was a take on a Paloma and I couldn't find the lemongrass infusion on my palate. So I found it pretty basic, but pricey. So overall, decent. And I might stop buy if I was stuck in the area again.
