Food Coma Alert: you have just about a 100% chance of going into food coma after eating at the Melting Pot, and that's a good thing every so often! We went there this week with two friends at the VIP dinner experience, and we really enjoyed it. We were well taken care of from the moment we arrived to the time we stumbled out after that food hangover! If you've never been, it's worth checking it out. You get options involving many items to dip in melted cheese, as well as various meats and vegetables to dip in hot broth options. Then, after that's over, it is time for dessert items dipped in hot molten chocolate. No one at our table drinks alcohol, but I enjoyed a couple of mocktails that were delicious. Hats off to Alex and Lee, who took care of us that night. This is not something you want to do on a regular basis, but it is definitely a wonderful splurge type of meal experience. read more

This was our first time at The Melting Pot, and unfortunately, it was not the experience we were expecting. We made reservations for four people. From the beginning, the hostess came across as a little unfriendly, which wasn't a great first impression. Our waitress was nice overall, but there were several mistakes throughout the meal that really added to the disappointment. We started with the cheese fondue, and when the vegetables arrived, we were honestly shocked by the presentation. The tray looked like something you could pick up last-minute from the grocery store like one of those pre made vegetable trays from Fry's or Costco. The vegetables didn't look particularly fresh or well presented, and some seemed dry. For the price and the type of restaurant this is supposed to be, we expected much more. Then came the main course, where we had to cook the meat ourselves in the pot. Maybe this is part of the experience for some people, but it was honestly not what we were expecting, and we found it more annoying than enjoyable. The drink situation was another frustration. Two of my friends ordered Diet Coke and I ordered a regular Coke. Our waitress brought me Diet Coke twice instead of the regular Coke I ordered. Mistakes happen, but having the same mistake happen twice was pretty frustrating. Dessert was unfortunately more of the same. The fruit and other items on the dessert tray looked like they had been picked up during a last-minute grocery run rather than thoughtfully prepared and presented for a restaurant experience. Overall, the presentation was extremely disappointing, the service had too many little mistakes, and the food did not feel worth what we paid. For a restaurant that is supposed to be a special dining experience, we expected much more attention to detail. Presentation: 0/10 Service: 0/10 Overall experience: 0/10 Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend The Melting Pot based on our experience, and I would not return. read more

The Melting Pot is an intimate dining experience which is reminiscent of hot pot. For those new to this like myself, you basically get a pot that sits in the middle of your table that is constantly heated. The 3 types of pots are cheese, soup, and chocolate. You choose the type of cheese you want and then they put it in a pot for it to melt hence the name of their establishment. Each type of pot will come with dipping options. For instance, my cheese pot came with vegetables, bread, and nacho chips. For the soup, you choose one of their bases and then it will come with various options from beef, seafood, vegetables, and chicken. And lastly, the chocolate pot will come with fruits, and various snacks. My personal biggest issue is that a large majority of the dipping options are either average or below average quality. Basically, they just feel like things you would buy at an Albertsons. The best parts of this whole endeavor were the cheese and the chocolate. This is one of those places that really suffers from a plethora of choices but almost all of those choices are not of high quality especially when this whole thing cost me around $65. If you've never tried hot pot, I think this might be worth trying just for the novelty since most other hot pot places are just soup dishes and here you at least get cheese and chocolate but one can argue you can get great nachos and chocolate somewhere else. And finally, service was quite amiable but inattentive. read more

The melting pot was never a place that appealed to me but after being gifted with a certificate, here I am! The food itself was underwhelming. I didn't try the cheese fondue, the main course meats weren't particularly flavorful, and for the cost, the portions felt small. Drinks were extremely watered down. Servers were polite and responsive. Overall this is an experience that you're honestly paying way too much for. If quality of food matters, this is not the option for you. read more

I stopped by The Melting Pot for the first time and tried their special "Down to Fondue" happy hour, which offers 50% off cheese and chocolate fondue in the bar area! Our server, Emily M., was fantastic and provided excellent recommendations. We started with the Fiesta Cheese Fondue, which was absolutely awesome and packed with flavor. For dessert, we went with the Flaming Turtle chocolate fondue. It was decadent and delicious, though slightly on the sweeter side due to the sweet sides provided. We also ordered the house salad, which was fresh and simple. The ambiance is beautiful and upscale, making it a perfect spot for a romantic date night. Highly recommend! read more

Pricilla was amazing! The service and interaction was so refreshing! She made our dinner a great time and service was top notch! Thank You!

Food was great and the server was also very pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu. Very romantic setting which I loved! We got a picture taken but never given to us. We asked before leaving and the manager was not coming out after 15 min of waiting we just left. Honestly willing to give it another shot maybe just differently this time read more

My friend and I had a lovely experience visiting Melting Pot last night in wanting to enjoy the national cheese week promo. Jade, our server, was lovely, friendly, informative, and attentive. Super appreciated her, and her manager Melissa was such a warm, cheerful, friendly face as she stopped by our table to check on our experience. All-over great experience by service, 5 stars for the people! Overall I'd give food 3-4 stars as the flavor profiles blended together and did not hold their taste as well as I hoped at first. We went with the Alpine cheese which was tasty but didn't love the consistency as much as we tried to adjust it to preference. Would probably try cheddar next time to compare. Went with the combo of teriyaki-glazed steak, peppered steak, and duck. The steak were flavored well but quickly seemed to dry up once in heat. The duck was flavored with something like a rosemary or thyme that I wasn't keen on. I find the price point too high for the culinary experience. That said, would go again on occasion for the overall memory and shared experience. read more

My husband booked this as a surprise and it was our 1 year wedding anniversary. The setup was nice and it was cozy. Unfortunately the people sitting in the next booth had terrible language and said over a billion bad words during our dinner, the man was also very nasty and vulgar about what he wanted to do with the fondue and his body parts. He also told his date she shouldnt eat more or she will get fat! Completely ruined the entire experience for me:( I tried to ignore them but they were SO loud. read more

Had a great dinner at The Melting Pot. The food and overall experience were excellent, and Davidson took great care of us as our server. He was friendly, attentive, and made the night feel easy and enjoyable. Grace, the manager, also checked in and made sure everything went smoothly, which we really appreciated. We had a great time and would definitely come back. Thanks again to Davidson and Grace for making it a memorable dinner. read more

Wow this place is the best!!! We got the bigger deal for two. It was way more than we could eat. The salads are delicious and the desserts are really good too. The Wisconsin cheese fondue is the bomb and so is the hatch chile fondue. Our waitress was really sweet and the service was top notch. If I am ever on this side of town, I am definitely going yo come here again. read more

What happened to this place? Service is slow, bartender wasn't dressed like a high end restaurant. Pricey for the food and atmosphere. I am thinking after 20+ years of the melting pot and how they have been the last few visits probably won't go back. All good things come to an end. read more

Was definitely an interesting one. First off I need to note that dinner was about 3 hours long from start to finish. I'm not sure why, even the drinks took a long time to come out, and everything else was not cooked... The food was decent- it really isn't anything amazing, but it's an experience and easy for a group as everyone gets to make what they would like. We had a few pots and were able to even try the vegan cheese which had the weirdest texture- def do not recommended. I did LOVE the dessert pot- I would come back just for that alone! Would I go back, probably not- it was also quite costly for what it is and really just too much wasted food. read more

Everything was great. Desert was excellent. Staff was wonderful. Anniversary celebration went well. We will return.

Recently celebrated a birthday here and it was an awesome experience. we did the deal where it's two people for $120 or something like that I can't quite remember. Love how the food comes out in courses, but it is plenty of food. it took us about two hours to get through everything but the made for a really nice experience where you get to try and enjoy everything. We love the concept of cooking your own entrées. Interactive dining is always something unique and I really enjoyed this place. Awesome service too. read more

Took my father in law for his birthday, Alexis was an awesome server. The food was excellent.

The Guy Mark who checked us in ? Not very friendly. Honestly I almost walked out because of him. He was flat out rude. Even in the phone when I was asking for directions. In person he was worse. He goes you need a reservation. I responded it's under Kimberly Hernandez ...he let out the rudest scoff....anyway.. We loved our waitress she was pretty awesome! She was attentive and had awesome suggestions. She kept checking up on us and was just delightful. I was here for a Birthday. I chose the bottle of Malbec $47 and the 4 course meal that included the lobster tail. Everything was quite tasty The ambiance was okay and the decor could used some upgraded the decor has been the same since 2019 and the torn up seats are not a good look. read more

Alpine fondue and salads were great and it was plenty for 2 yo share. Lee, our server, was perfect as we're the manager and host. We were seated in a private booth with curtains to ensure privacy for our anniversary dinner. As new members of Club Fondue, we also received complimentary chocolate dipped strawberries. I highly recommend this location. The fond was delicious. I had been dreaming about it for a quite some time! read more

The Lovers Kane package is amazing, the private dining, the 1 on 1 service and atmosphere ate work every penny. The food is phenomenal and the pacing quenches your hunger without stuffing your gut. The desert is absolutely amazing. It's worth every penny! read more

Went to the Melting Pot for grand-daughter's 13th birthday later in the evening on Jan 18th, along with wife and our daughter. The food, ambiance, and service were all excellent. Foodserver lady was great, wish I could remember her name. WAY too much food, I might almost suggest to see if four people can split one of the "4-Course meals for 2". A bit on the pricey side; but it's valid that we had a couple drinks and added the lobster. We have been here a few times before over the years on special occasions. All pretty much the same end result re: a very good time, great food, and a different experience. Solid 5 stars; but just be apprised it's not low-end. Great food and service, though. read more

I love Sarah the server. She is delightful and funny and amazing. I would come back here just for her! Also the food it great :D and the ambiance is really romantic. 10/10 would come here again. Sarah deserves a raise! read more

Unique experience, filling, and the quality was good. The cost was for the experience more than the quality food. For us, it was good for a special occasion, but if I'm dropping nearly $200 for a dinner for two, there's a lot more choices with high quality cuisine and experiences. read more

Zero energy with subpar ambiance. At one point we were the only people on a Friday night in the place. If Doug out to eat is an experience then this was terrible. Server was very competent but very edgy and awkward. I dot think I wil ever go to a melting pit given poor ambience, edgy server, and outrageous pricing for the quality and quantity of food. Esperiwnce at your own risk. read more

Went here on Christmas Eve with 3 adults and two kids. Our servers (they team up) who are sisters were fantastic, attentive, friendly, and gave us tips and tricks to move through the multi-course meal at a quicker, yet enjoyable speed (for the kids). Food appeared fresh and tasted great, thanks to our server's tips and my husband. This isn't a place we'd come to regularly but definitely for special occasions or when we are itching for an experience. Great ambiance, lighting, and decorations for the holidays. read more

A unique and enjoyable dining experience. A great place for a special occasion celebration. There were three of us celebrating our friend's new job. We shared a spinach artichoke fondue made for three - this was plenty! Emily did an excellent job of mixing, presenting and serving. We also splurged and did the chocolate peanut butter fondue. This was so delicious! Everything here far exceeded our expectations. It's not inexpensive, but well worth the experience. read more
