It was so sweet and such a romantic atmosphere, had our own corner table, with the plus of sitting next to each other. Need a romantic dinner, than I definitely recommend!! read more

The Melting Pot - Houston - Dessert! Flaming Turtle* - Fondue Near Me - Houston, Texas

The Classic Alpine cheese was alright. The dip held onto food easily. The other cheese we used did not stick onto food at all. I ate pepper steak, tuna, pork, salmon, shrimp, and duck breast. We used the grill and coq au vin hotpot. The pieces of meat were in big chunks so I had to cut them in half before putting it on the grill cause it would take too long to cut. It was hard to tell when the large chunks of meat were done in the hotpot because they were so big. I had to cut them to check. I ended up cutting the meat into thinner pieces to check. Out of my meats, salmon and duck was my favorite. The pork was good, but took too long to cook. The chocolate dip prep was impressive. It's a double boiler setup and our waiter added fire to it. The chocolate was pure milk chocolate and was way too sweet. I dipped a strawberry into it and it just made the strawberry too sweet. The pound cake (sara lee) was good in the chocolate, but was very sweet too. read more

We were content with our overall experience at Melting Pot but we did have some concerns about the portion sizes and overall service. If you're a cheese lover, I do recommend giving fondue a try (especially for a date night or special occasion just to experience it first-hand), but that being said, there we're both pros and cons when we dined at this particular fondue establishment in Houston. When we first entered, the staff surprised us with an anniversary card signed by all the staff members and we were greeted by a friendly manager who kept our water glasses full. The high quality and selection of meats, dips, and cheeses was also a pleasant surprise. Some of the dipping options were questionable but the duck and salmon dippers were our favorite meats during the third course. The first course also featured a really nice alpine cheese accompanied by pretzel bread and French bread. The dessert course was our favorite though--a hot brûléed' bananas foster dip paired with bits of sponge cake, belgian waffle, marshmallow, and brownie bites. That said, the portion sizes were tiny and limited for the price point and when we asked for additional things to dip into the cheese or chocolate, our server returned with the smallest bowl imaginable. During the third course, we weren't even given the choice to order additional dippers. Furthermore, our waitress didn't even bother to ask whether or not we wanted to add black pepper or cilantro to the broth, she merely gave us a description as she threw things in. She was also super friendly in the beginning but by the end of the night, she simply handed us the bill without bothering to ask if we wanted additional drinks or food. At one point during the night, a man asked if he could clear the table even though my husband was still eating his steak. And our waitress was also eager to start clearing the table in order to move on to the next course. Unfortunately, we just felt very rushed and annoyed by the end of it. Overall, I think that if it were not for the service and portion sizes, we would have really enjoyed our time at The Melting Pot. It's a very romantic setting and it was cool to try something new. That said, if you're already familiar with hot pot or Korean BBQ, fondue is a far cry from a proper night of feasting. read more

What a cute place for special occasion! The Melting Pot offers a fun, interactive dining experience that feels celebratory and different from a typical night out. We came here for our nephew's birthday and they had balloons and decorations for the table. Also got a cute little stuffed animal with a pic taken of us and printed right before the courses came out. The fondue courses are flavorful and well-paced, and the atmosphere is perfect for family night. We got the vegetarian options and they were considerate about everything we ordered. The banana foster pot for dessert was something else. I'll be thinking about it for a while especially with the fire show! While it's definitely on the pricier side I think it's worth it for special occasions and would definitely be back! read more

I had dinner at The Melting Pot with my close friend and her family on the last day of HRW 2023. The three course dinner menu was $39. I started with the White Peach Cosmo and it was good. 1st Course: We went with the Spinach Artichoke Cheese Fondue. It came with bread, chips, apples, and veggies (broccoli & cauliflower). It was very flavorful and I enjoyed it. The portion was large and it was plenty for four people. 2nd Course: They have five cooking styles to choose from and one cook top per table, so we had to agree on which cooking style we wanted to do. We opted for the cast iron grill. I ordered the Steak Lovers which was an additional charge. It came with Premium Filet Mignon, Teriyaki-Marinated Steak, and Garlic Pepper Steak. My friend ordered the Land and Sea. It came with 5 dipping sauces. I can't remember all of the flavors, but I did like them. The steak was tender and flavorful. It also came with mushrooms, asparagus, and zucchini which we were able to grill. The veggies were good, but the amount could have been a little more (especially since I don't eat mushrooms). 3rd Course: For dessert we chose the Milk Chocolate Fondue. It came with an assortment of fruit, cakes, and pastries to dip. It was yummy. Our server was nice. She was bilingual which was helpful for my friend's husband. If you're doing multiple courses, plan to be there for a couple of hours. This was definitely a dining experience and it was a nice way to finish off HRW. read more

Had a great experience right from the get go, the hostess was friendly and warm with her greeting and sat us right away at a nice and steady pace. My guest and were greeted by our server, Andrew, I believe he was in training. He made a nice recommendation for the 4 course dinner since we had not been in for a few years and wanted to make sure we got a nice array of choices. All courses were timed out well. Andrew did a great job and will be one of the main reasons we come back! read more

The fondue concept has been around for decades. The Melting Pot has definitely figured it out and is the leading fondue dining experience. I previously dined at a location in Charlotte NC. My 19-year-old niece selected this as her dine out treat while home from college. On Wednesdays, there is a BFFF (Best Fondue Friends Forever) promotion to encourage friends to come in on a less romance-filled, lighter weeknight. However, we ended up opting for the 4-course meal for two ($118). We also each selected the create your own entrée option. Which offered more flexible design of your proteins. Both my niece and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We felt like we had plenty to eat. It took about two hours to have a leisurely dinner. We also both agreed that if we went back next time, we might order our a la cart because we really didn't need the salads. And I felt my salad was completely overdressed. Our service was excellent, friendly, and just the right amount of attention. And while some concepts like this - that been around forever -- are starting to show their age; The Melting Pot was classic and enjoyable. And I would definitely go back. read more

The Melting Pot - Houston - California salad (too much dressing!) - Fondue Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

If you're interested in paying $60/person for mediocre food and crap service, walk- don't run! Two stars only because the dessert saved this restaurant. We got the four course meal, which is $118 for two people and each additional person is $59. You get an appetizer, which is your choice of fondue. We had a large party so we got three- the Classic Alpine, the 50th anniversary, and the fiesta. When they bring you your pots, you get sides such as bread/veggies to dip and tell you it's refillable, but then conveniently disappear as soon as you need more food. This happened with every course. I didn't like any of the cheeses and found them bitter, but I think they were high quality and other people in my party liked them. You then get a salad, which was pathetically small for such an extreme price tag. Next you choose an entree, which comes with a broth or- get this- a CAST IRON! Sure, let me pay $60 a person to literally cook raw, unseasoned meat that a restaurant so generously (and unevenly) chopped up. Hello? A few of us got the vegetarian option because we got the broth and boiled meat tastes like feet. They gave us ONE singular ravioli. One. I mean at this point just spit in my face. Can't pull out the big bucks for more can you? The broth did add a nice flavor to veggies and sides. We got the coq de vine (or something) and it was a rich flavor with a nice kick. Still, waiting 10+ minutes for service, 10+ minutes for the food, then another 2-5 minutes for each thing to cook was not a pleasant dining experience. I havent yet touched on the service. While we did have a large party, we were at this restaurant for three and a half hours. Four course meal, I get it, but they could've easily shaved an hour off if the waiter consistently remembered he had a table. I walked around the entire parking lot, came back, used the restroom, and he still hadn't been by to check on us. Easily 20 minutes in between. Not to mention being nowhere in the vicinity when you needed a refill on any of the "free and refillable" items. Overall, not great. The food tasted fairly high quality and was more than edible, but not even worth half this price. read more

My daughter had gotten the highest marks in her class, so my dad asked me to take her somewhere nice on him. My kid loves fondue, so I figured what better place than here. We got there for lunch on a Sunday and they were not busy. On the reservation I checked the box that it was for a special occasion but the waiter didn't bother asking nor did they do anything special. I mean, that's fine and all. But why is there that box on their reservations app then? Good grief. We decided to do a 4 course. It felt kinda rushed to be honest with you. The salad came out before we were halfway done with the cheese fondue. And then entree before we were done with the salad. I'm a fast eater but this was ridiculous. Also I noticed the portions weren't always the same for me and my kid. Like I get it for the entree it's supposed to be like that but for example, she got a chocolate marshmallow looking thing for desert on the turtle fondue but I didn't. And there was only one. So what to do? Additional dippers are free for the chocolate fondue. But after I paid the waiter he never returned with the additional dippers we asked for (we just asked for only a couple of items, not like a whole another round). I had given him a 15% tip although 20% is the lowest tip on the machine they hand you to pay at your table (they hover over your shoulder while you figure the tip). So maybe he wasn't happy with 15%. Or maybe he just didn't care after getting the money. Some tips: The food looks paltry but I think if you eat slowly like the experience is supposed to be (not ours) then it actually fills you up. Kids portions are available for the entree. And it's just smaller. But the cheese and chocolate they share the same pot as the adult. If there's just 1 adult and 1 child then you could pay half price for a 4 course meal and add on the kids option. They're flexible like that. The cheese pot looks deep but it's actually not that deep (see video). We had a lot of bread leftover without anymore cheese to dip it in. Land and sea was pretty good. The seasoning still hangs on despite it being dunked. There's 6 dipping sauces too. They also give you some veggies (potatoes, mushrooms and broccoli). Best to put all those veggies in the entree broth. Just let it soak up the broth. Overall I somewhat disappointing meal given the customer service. Good customer service can make a meal great or mediocre. Or downright bad. For us, it made what might have otherwise been a 5 star meal just 3 stars. read more

This has been on my list of places to try for a while, and I'm so glad I finally made it here! We got the spinach artichoke (Butterkäse, Fontina, Parmesan, Spinach, Artichoke Hearts, Garlic, Tabasco) as the starter. It came with pretzel bread, sliced baguette, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and green apple chunks. The dip was good, but it didn't have much garlic flavor (maybe they went light so guests' breaths didn't smell in the small booths lol). I think it would have been tastier if the breads had been a little toasted. I did appreciate how the waiter offered extra dippers with the starter. For the main course, we got the the Chicken Breast, Shrimp, Teriyaki-Marinated Steak for one of the entrees and the Shrimp, Memphis-Style Dry Rub Pork, Teriyaki-Marinated Steak, Garlic Pepper Steak, and Herb-Crusted Chicken Breast for the other entree. We chose the mojo cooking style (Caribbean-Inspired Garlic, Cilantro, Citrus); it was basically a broth that we boiled all the food in. My favorites were the garlic pepper steak and teriyaki steak. The entrees also came with some mushrooms, potatoes, and broccoli to cook and a slew of sauces to dip everything in (a curry sauce, plum sauce, sweet chili, green goddess, lemon aioli, and a couple others). Next time, I'd ask for more vegetables to dip to help balance the meat. For dessert, we got the s'mores (milk chocolate, marshmallow crème that is flambéed, topped with graham cracker). It came with chunks of brownies, Rice Krispies, pound cake, Oreo covered marshmallows, blondie, waffle, strawberries, and bananas. The chocolate was good, but the graham crackers ended up tasting burnt and gassy in an unpleasant way. I think the waiter added them too soon while the marshmallow was being toasted. The service was good overall, and it was definitely more of interactive dinner experience than typical places. The restaurant was clean, and the booths were cozy. Note that if you're sitting at a smaller table, then you and whoever you go with might have to share the same cooking style. Also, we were told that everything had to be at least portioned for two (i.e. you can't just order one portion of the starter cheese dip or dessert). The parking lot was spacious. read more

My family and I went to the Melting Pot for dinner and everyone was amazing from the valet, hostess, and especially, our waitress, Leslie. She was such a sweetheart and made excellent recommendations. It wasn't too loud and the lighting was dim, but bright enough for intimate discussions in our personal booth. We had the spinach artichoke cheese fondue for our appetizers and coq au van with Pacific Rim and Land and Sea for our main course. Our dessert was the flaming turtle. We'll definitely be back soon. read more

I love this place! The food, the customer service, the vibe: all great! Def will go back. Yes it's a bit pricy and it's more intimate, like meant for couples and tight-nit individuals such as families & close friends. You end up laughing/ bonding with the staff & your table because you don't know how your food is going to turn out. (Our hot plate was sensitive & cooked super quick so we were pretty much constantly turning instead of the recommend 2 min per side.) You would NOT want to be here if you hate: 1.) cooking, 2.) experimenting with food, or 3.) the person you're with. (No seriously, a business meeting with a party of two in a tiny booth? That would get extremely awkward.) Small learning curve. The small but plentiful portions may be a turn off to some. My husband took me for my birthday & he got the birthday special. Very lovely. Loved the staff-signed card, chocolate cover strawberries & wine. We had the Bigger Night Out Dinners for Two with lobster: spinach artichoke fondue is like crack, Caesar salads, not exactly what we expected with candied nuts but very good, cast iron grilled style land & sea, & the Framing turtle for dessert was awesome! My only issue was with the lack of seasoning, we got lucky & our server recommend one. Without it & just depending on sauces it would have been very fresh, tender yet VERY bland. My husband ordered 3 of the whiskey businesses, they were strong & delicious. read more

We decided to surprise my mom for her birthday at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The service was awesome from start to beginning. The hostess were so sweet upon entry. They sat us immediately and Tina took over. Tina was a good host. She explained everything from start to finish. I did feel a little rushed, but i understood because we had lots of questions about the process and we were there closer to the end of the night. I usually would take a star for that but she made up for it with the small talk, knowing her stuff, taking our picture and just being very pleasant. We had the HRW menu with the 3 courses and all of the food was great. The steak was my favorite. I am still surprised that you can cook all that meat in 2 minute segments. That garlic wine seasoning is also great. I would definitley come back because it was a true experience. read more

We had reservations for 3 people. I haven't been here in over 20 years. It's amazing the place is still open. Inside it looks remodeled and it's huge (I kept getting lost from the bathroom to my table ). We got seated right away. We ordered from the restaurant week menu. Baked potato cheese with bread, Vegetable broth with veggies and the seafood with beef/ chicken, milk chocolate fondue for dessert. kids are $28 so not cheap. Drinks I got the passion fruit paloma (no passion fruit flavor at all). Overall we had a good filling meal and great service. read more

So I came here with my sisters since this seemed like one of the better options for our dietary needs/choices (2 of us eat meat/fish, the other 2 are vegetarian & vegan). On the HRW website, it didn't exactly specify that you'd be sharing either ONE or TWO like dishes? Meaning that the whole table would be getting the same thing. Thankfully, because there was 2 different types of dietary choices, the waiter told us that we could do both regular cheese fondue and the vegan fondue, which was great. But then we had to share the vegetable broth (which was ok) for the main course and one of my sisters & I had to wait a while for my other two sisters to cook all of their vegetables before we could cook our meats, so all of that itself took a while. Then lastly was the dessert fondue, which was probably my favorite part of the whole course. And for that, we were able to get one regular chocolate fondue and the vegan chocolate fondue. The drinks we got were delicious. Overall, I personally don't think the price was worth it for this experience. read more

This is truly a dining experience. I strongly recommend a reservation which can be made on their website with Open Table. We had a party of 8 and were seated right on time. We came for my sister-in-law's bday. Plan on spending at least an hour or more for bigger groups. This is wonderful for special occasions and a nice date location. Plan on spending about $85-100+ per person if you want to try the cheese fondue, main entree fondue, and a dessert fondue. They also have dining packages with 4 courses that include salad. Our server, Joy, has a fitting name. She was truly a joy to have for our table and she was very patient explaining everything since we had 4 children in our party. If you've never been to this place, you can choose your cheese mixture (we chose loaded baked potato) and it comes with a variety of breads & some raw veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and even apples). The main entree is a choice of broth with a variety of meats (multiple choices) and there is a vegetarian option as well. The broth (we chose Coq A Vin) also comes with a variety of veggies (potatoes, mushrooms, and broccoli) in addition to the meat. You can upgrade your choices to premium meats or seafood for a higher price point. They bring about 7 sauces to dip everything in. The meat and veggies are brought out raw and to cook them in the broth for a few minutes. There are four choices of salads as an add on as well (we went with Caesar). They do have a kid's version of the meals available (3 courses). They get their own cheese and dessert fondue choices and they pick three meats to dip in the broth choice. The best part for us was how much the kids enjoyed it. We had two very picky eaters in our group and they were the most enthusiastic about the whole evening! We tipped off the dinner with S'mores & Bananas Foster fondue (dipping choices were cake bits, waffle bits, bananas, strawberries, marshmallows. They have lots of options for people who are gluten intolerant. Everything was delicious and we will be back for our son's bday. You won't be disappointed if you dine here. read more

We celebrated our first anniversary together here - it being my boyfriend's first time ever eating at a Melting Pot and fondue in general. He loved it! I've been here many, many times before and found everything to be delicious as usual. It's best to make a reservation ahead of time due to limited availability. The dining room is a very romantic setting with each table being a private booth - even more private now with plexiglass up to the ceiling in light of COVID (which I was very pleased to see). The menu is set up for a four-course dining experience where you start with a cheese fondue that you dip breads, apples and veggies into. The second course is a salad. The third is the entree where they bring you uncooked meats and vegetables to cook on your own in a pot of either boiling broth or hot oil. The final course is chocolate fondue that comes with all types of fruits and cakes to dip in. We had the Quattro Formaggio cheese fondue which is still delicious as ever (two of my other favorites are the Spinach Artichoke and the Loaded Baked Potato). They apparently no longer have the Strawberry Caprese salad (my favorite) so we chose the California salad instead. We're both vegetarians now so we shared the Vegetarian entree and were very pleased with the available items on it! Two different pastas, vegetarian "meatballs" and different vegetables than what are already provided with each meal. We finished the meal with my absolute favorite chocolate fondue - S'mores As a longtime Melting Pot diner, I will say that I was a bit disappointed to learn that they no longer make the cheese fondue at the table in front of you anymore. They send it out pre-made from the back. Maybe because of COVID? Maybe not. It took away a bit of the experience but not enough for us to never return. Also - I'm pretty sure they still have Happy Hour prices for their cheese/chocolate fondues ONLY as well as select beverages in the bar area on weekdays. read more

I was expecting to leave full and satisfied, BUT that wasn't the case. We got the "steak lovers" and "land and sea" entree with the Coq Au Vin broth (server recommended) and I thought it was okay.

Proportions were small (pictured); I truly don't think it's worth paying $23-26 for the amount you get. read more

Don't let them sell you into getting the course, just get a single pot is more than enough.

We just celebrated my daughter's birthday,she's in her 20s, we got the rose petals and rose put on the table for fun, it's not just for dates!! The classic Alpine cheese fondue is the best, they will bring you extra dippers if you run out, or just ask for more. We mix the curry and terriaki sauces, and call it "curry-aki". So great on the shrimp!!! We learned about it from a Melting Pot waiter over 20 years ago in FL. The chocolate fondues are all amazing!! It's definitely expensive, but it's a whole experience. Our server this time was totally amazing, wish I could remember her name...she was thorough, never let our glasses get empty, and very friendly. It's always really cool, we always enjoy it. If you don't want to spend big bucks, you can just go for cheese, and chocolate fondues and skip the entree course. read more

Dear Foodie readers, have you been back to the melting pot...you won't believe it, but it's been 16 years since I have gone...and I don't know why it took me so long...it's fun, delicious, and great service. It's been remodeled, it's much brighter, it used to be darker woods, so now it has a modern feel to it. We were celebrating our anniversary, and took our kids, they were extremely excited to try it all. We sipped, dipped, and enjoyed every bite. The meats were excellent, we got the surf and turf combo...next time I would only order the turf lol, the salmon was hard to control, then we would have to fish them out of the pot...the kids actually enjoyed that part =) The kids were ready to go back for more! read more

What an amazing experience! We celebrated my nieces birthday and I thought something different like fondue would be perfect. I was worried it might be too grown up for her but our waiters made her day. We decided to get the 4 course meal which includes your choice off cheese fondue with green apples, breads and healthy veggies. You also get your choice of salad. We got the shrimp salad which we didn't realize was spicy so we couldn't share it with her. I also didn't realize it was $50 per person not for sharing with 2 people. We got the beef option with the coq su vin which has mushrooms. All the meats were good but I wasn't crazy about the peppered ones since they were too peppery for me. I thought the portions were small and that I wasn't going to be full, we all thought that but after all the courses we were pretty stuffed! My niece like the chips with the cheese option and the waiter was so sweet with her. He pretended to only give her one when she had asked for a "whole bunch please!" and when she looked down shocked her he gave her a little bowl full of them which made us all laugh. They just made it such a fun experience for her and even brought a special plate with a candle for the dessert fondue. One of them even did a neat trick with the fire. Both our waiters were super friendly, accommodating and great with kids. They made the experience an unforgettable one for all of us. I'm very grateful. I just wish I had gotten their names to give them a special kudos. read more

Good food, great service, nice atmosphere. However, they seem to be following the same trend as other Houston restaurants where they have valet block all the parking spots in the front of the restaurant with cones to force folks to park far away. Y'all don't need to have valet. Valet is for when you don't have a parking lot or parking spots and you got to park the cars far away. There is no convenience in this service being provided. read more

The Melting Pot - Houston - Fondue Near Me - Houston, Texas

I don't know what it is, but I think once you have this experience, you really don't need to do it again. It just seems like a novel idea because it's very expensive for what you get. I came here with my son and daughter-in-law and two grandkids. I made a reservation for four because one of the kids wasn't even two years old and doesn't eat fondue. When we walked in it seemed like they got confused about the baby even though I have no idea why. Anyway, we got to the table and we ordered the Big Night Out which is for two people and then we added an additional person. We then ordered one kids meal. We had four sodas, a glass of wine and two Moscow mules and it was over $350 before the discount because I used a coupon. Our server was very nice, and when there weren't any tables, very attentive. As soon as they got other tables then we didn't get our drinks, we had to remind them, but it wasn't terrible. I think my problem is that this is a pretty chaotic experience if you have more than two people. And you don't get as much food as you think you will especially in terms of the meat and seafood. So the experience is what you're probably paying for and you're not getting the best cuts of steak. And you have to cook it yourself. Next time I spend this much money I'm going to a restaurant where the food is higher quality and I get waited on and don't have to cook my own food. This really is just a novelty place. read more
