My fiancée and I decided to celebrate Friday in style at The Melting Pot, and it couldn't have been a better choice! We experienced their Oktoberfest selection, and everything--from the cozy atmosphere to the exceptional food--made it an unforgettable evening. The Oktoberfest menu was phenomenal. The Bavarian beer cheese fondue was packed with flavor, and the meats cooked in the savory broths were absolutely delicious. And then came dessert--fall-inspired chocolate fondue that was the perfect way to top off our Friday celebration! A huge shout-out to our server, Anna, who made the night even more special. She was attentive, friendly, and her positive energy really added to the fun. Good food, good times, and plenty of laughs--she truly helped make our Friday celebration one to remember. If you're looking to make any evening extraordinary, especially during Oktoberfest, The Melting Pot is the place to be. We'll definitely be back for more incredible food and good vibes. Highly recommend! read more

The Melting Pot - Food! - Fondue Near Me - Miami, Florida

Let's start off with the overall aesthetic if you will, I thought it was pretty nice and fairly intimate. Looked decent in its level of cleanliness which is something I like a place, especially somewhere I'm eating, to have in order. The girl who was our waitress was so bubbly and fun although I will say she said our group of girls was the best table she's had the whole night so maybe we were just hyping her up and making her feel good. Regardless the service was great! Food was also pretty good. I wouldn't say it's extremely gourmet or anything but it's good if you're looking for a lot of food for less than you'd pay at a place located closer to Miami. Be prepared to take food home if you go with the three course!! I was feeling too stuffed for my own liking afterwards lol read more

I have been going to this Melting Pot location for years, and I always have a great time! We usually do the Meal for Two, but we have also gone on nights where they have the specials for just cheese/salad/chocolate. We have tried the Classic Alpine, Spinach Artichoke, and Cheddar cheeses. The Classic Alpine is probably my go-to, but the Spinach Artichoke is also very good. For salad, I order the California, but I request the amazing parmesan-encrusted pine nuts because they are too good. I also add the spice blend, which kicks it up a notch. As a vegetarian, I am thankful that they have the Garden Veggie entree, and it looks like they put effort on it with the meatballs and the ravioli. Some veggies - like bell peppers - are strange to cook, and the asparagus can be challenging since they are so thin, but overall, I always feel I have plenty to eat and sometimes take some home. The mushrooms are the best veggie, especially if you stuff it with the green goddess sauce after cooking it. I appreciate you can ask for more of your favorite sauces because the serving dish has pretty small portions. The Flaming Turtle is my favorite chocolate option, but we have enjoyed the S'mores and the classic milk chocolate. The waffle, pound cake, and brownie are my favorite to dip. The ambiance by the bar feels more casual because of the TVs, but we were happy they were able to change the channel to a soccer game we requested recently. We like to dress it up sometimes, but a lot of people come very casual (despite the price point). We have always had great servers who are friendly, and we appreciate they accommodate our request for two pots since my husband has veggie allergies, and I don't like to share a pot with meat cooking. I have come to celebrate graduations, for date nights, or for double dates, and this place does not disappoint! read more

The Melting Pot - Dessert - Fondue Near Me - Miami, Florida

First time here and it was a good experience with a theme called Wars of the Stars. The ambiance was nice. I was completely confused how the service worked until meeting our pleasant server. I ordered the sunsplash martini which was good and the Caesar salad to start; the Parmesan-dusted pine nuts were a great topping that I thoroughly enjoyed. For the entree, we chose The Classic that consisted of garlic pepper steak, teriyaki marinated steak, shrimp and herb crusted chicken breast (added extra shrimp instead of pork); the fondue cooking style was mojo which is a Caribbean-inspired, garlic, cilantro and citrus flavor that was divine. For dessert, the Yin & Yang was superb with the abundance of sweet treats & fresh fruits to dip. Absolutely stuffed to the max and can't wait to return ! read more

Ambiance, loved the coziness of the dining area. Music was good. Food was great. Loved the variety and the dinner combo for two was ideal. The portions were on point for two. Service was excellent. We got greeted by a nice young lady. When seated the waitress explained everything and answered all our questions. Also our server, Maria S., prepared an amazing Anniversary plate for us that I wanted to buy to take home. Maria, you are not only a great server, but also an amazing artist. Thank you! You made our night that extra special. Melting Pot, great service and great food. Highly recommend this Kendall Staple Restaurant. Will visit back soon! read more

So I had been looking for an excuse to take my significant other to The Melting Pots, a special occasion or a memorable event. No, being a weekend is not good enough. Even The Melting Pot agrees. If you go to their website and try to reserve a table, it asks you what the occasion is, and being hungry is no longer a valid reason, not even it being a weekend. Her birthday was far off and our anniversary even further off, so I decided to invent an occasion, and I am intending to submit my newly created occasion to the United States Cultural Affairs department as my contribution to the dating society. I decided to celebrate the 500th day anniversary. Technically it is not an anniversary, it should be called something like 500th day-versary, and since this word does not exist, I will submit it to Webster as my contribution to English language. You're welcome. I digress. I hadn't been to this specific location in 20 some odd years, so I wasn't sure what I was going to see, but fortunately I was pleasantly surprised. They had me at hola. We walked in a saw nice decoratios with a big bar in the back. The hostess was nice and even though we were early, we didn't have to wait and were directed to our table. Each table was in a cube with a black curtain to draw if you wanted privacy. Mind you, the curtain was see-through, so no hanky panky, but for all those who were celebrating 500th day-versary, it added a nice touch to the ambiance. The waiter was very good, and I liked the variety of options on menu. And by the way, to all those who say "if I wanted to cook my own food, I would've stayed home", if sticking something to a stick and waiting for it to cook for a minute is cooking, then I am the best chef in town and all the kids who roast marshmallows are cooks. The ONLY problem with the food is that you know that there is dessert coming up next. As everyone knows, the dessert in The Melting Pot is an experience all on its own. Just thinking about that melted chocolate dripping off strawberry makes that broccoli being cooked seem less appetizing. That is why sometimes I go there just for the dessert. Let's just go to the good part. So the 500th day-versary was very good, knowing that there will be no 500th anniversary, and at my age, probably no 500th month-versary. Webster, I have another word to submit. read more

Summary: It had been a long, long time since I last had gone to any Melting pot. On one hand, it did not disappoint. The four-course meal was excellent, the service was [almost] impeccable, and everything was delicious. On the other, I feel it used to be more of an unique experience... maybe it is the post-covid world we're living in... The Experience. Made the reservation very easily through the website from my phone. No awkward interactions, just fill up the form, wait for the day, and show up. That's a win right there. I arrived with a friend from work early, but close enough to the time of our reservation, and in what was pretty much the only hiccup on the service, we were told we needed to wait for our table because they were not ready to serve costumers yet. It wasn't the fact that we had to wait in itself, but something about the way they told us, what rubbed me the wrong way a little bit. However, after they took us to the table, everything ran smoothly. We ordered the two-person four-course meal. First, the Classic Alpine cheese fondue, it couldn't be more perfect, though I wouldn't mind trying every other cheese fondue on the menu before setting that statement in stone ;-) The we had the Strawberry Pecan salad, which was pretty good, but of course it wasn't the star of the night. I had the the Pacific Rim entree, and she had the land and sea, and we chose the a Coq Au Vin (burgundy) cooking style. It was... fine. The ingredients were good, no complaint about that, but with that cooking style, everything get's dyed purple with the wine, and the flavor isn't (in my opinion) really improved over the Court Bouillon... but I have my sights in trying the mojo next time. The Pure Chocolate Fondue for dessert was all that you expect... if only I could eat three or four by myself without sharing in one sitting :p However, I'm planning on testing the dark and dulce or the flaming turtle next, because they sound interesting to me. Now, here's the thing. Everything was very good, including the service, and if I had never gone to a Melting Pot before, this would have been a full five-star review (yes, even with the issue earlier about "not being ready for guests". But it used to be more of a... show, I guess? But yes, it is still an "all night out" event. You can't just sit down, have a fondue and leave. You still take your time and enjoy the whole production... only, before, it felt like theater, and now it's more like the movies, if you catch he meaning of my feeling. read more

Like the place. The lights are dimmed like a romantic ambiance. The complete fondue experience for two was good. The Loaded Baked Potato Cheddar is really good, but the green apple is not a good combination with cheese. I wasn't a big fan of boiling the meat, but the experience was fun. The Bigger Night Out comes with a decent number of choices for two. Flaming Turtle Chocolate Fondue is so good; so make sure you have room for this. Thank you, Diana, for such a wonderful experience. read more

The Melting pot is a 5 out of 5 hands down. My partner and I came here for our anniversary and it was very private and secluded. The customer service was amazing staff is very friendly and interactive throughout all the four courses. First you receive the cheese fondue, then the type of salad, next the main entrees, and lastly your choice of chocolate. The food is very good and I love the concept that you cook it on the grill or a pot (including your choose of stew to cook meat in). It is a little pricey but for a special occasion I think it is worth it without a doubt (: They're only accepting reservations only if not the wait is over 1-2 hours long FYI. read more

Pleasantly surprised Interesting layout with intimate booths separate from one another allowing quiet areas to enjoy in peace. Memu was extensive with many delicious choices Started with veggies served alongside a cheese dip Then as a main dish we had steak, fish and chicken heated in an oil pot. For dessert we shared various fruits dipping them in heated cheese pot Everything was wonderful We have to go back whenever we are in Miami read more

I have not been to this restaurant in over 30yrs., so after much insistence from my daughter, I took her for a mom-and-daughter date night. Ambiance - The place is an updated version of what I remembered. It has a wonderful full bar and the cubby booth seating still makes for a quaint experience. Service -- This is were it got tricky. I told Yesenia, our server, that I had not been there in decades, so to explain to us the oil options they now have. She told us that she was new [few months into the job] so she had to ask her manager because she didn't know. Then, when she brought out the food with all the sauces, I asked her to explain how everything had to be prepared because I didn't remember and I wanted my daughter to get the full experience, and she didn't know that either. At that point, I asked another server to call the manager for us. The manager immediately came and she fully explained to us how to prepare our food and she brought us more sauces and batter because the server had not brought enough for 2 people. When dessert time came, our server simply disappear; and after 20 minutes of waiting, an alarmed server took over and brought out our dessert. Our server finally showed up towards the end of our dessert to tell us that she was serving other people and she was busy, so I guess we became less than in the customer category. Food -- We ordered the Classic which came with the cheese starter, salads, entrees and dessert. Overall, my daughter enjoyed it, but I think it was because it was a place I frequented when I was just a bit older than she is now, along with the novelty of the first time ever cooking anything. Bill -- Without asking if we wanted/needed anything else, Yesenia brought us our bill and just waited next to me, so I can immediately process the payment without giving me a chance to look at it. It seemed like either she didn't trust she was going to get paid and/or she wanted to make sure we gave her the suggested 18% tip [which she didn't]. Overall, that part of the dining experience was also awkward and unnecessary. We can wait a couple of more years [or decades] to repeat the experience but it will be totally alright if we don't. read more

ive been coming to the melting pot for quite some time with my family and its always such an amazing time. you get to eat such delicious food while also interacting with your table by cooking the food and making it fun. some people don't like the idea of doing this but I love it because you get to have a fun little experience and its just a great and relaxing atmosphere! we always get the cheese fondue then of course the selected meats with our cooking pot and a delicious chocolate fondue in the end with sweet treats to dip. This one is their dark & dulce dessert and it had (and still has) my mouth watering fun fact: you can also request it be set up for any special night, just let them know! read more

Amazing night spent at The Melting Pot Miami having a fabulous four-course fondue dinner. Started out with their Octoberdest beer cheese with pretzels, short rib, and sausages. The cheese is so perfect and goes very well with everything. Next, the meal was followed by a California salad of greens with gorgonzola cheese and walnuts which was so flavorful I could've kept eating it all night. The main course was terriyaki steak, chicken, shrimp and more of those fabulous sausages. The flavors were just so good that I am dreaming of having more. Lastly, the chocolate fondue which was served with an assortment of dipping items like strawberries, bananas, apples, waffles, and cream pufffs. The milk chocolate was just the right combination for everything. The drinks were made strong and flavorful. My Dark and Stormy was made perfectly. The Ying and Yang dessert martini was delicious and both my wife and I shared it and wished we would have ordered one each instead. Service wise, impeccable! The manager was around to ensure our experience was memorable and the wait staff were full of personality, charisma, and always around to make sure we had everything we needed. Great spot for a date night, for a nice conversation over dinner, or to celebrate a birthday or another important moment. read more

I have enjoyed melting pot in the past, so when I heard this location was closing, I decided to swing by with my wife and friends. Unfortunately, it did not hit even close to the quality it has delivered in the past. The restaurant was relatively empty, yet we were there for over 3 hours at the dinning table waiting for the different courses to come out. Waters and refills were far and few in between. My friend ordered an alcoholic drink, took way too long to just come back and say they don't have the drink. He order a different one, but once again took for ever, and when the server came back she was confirming he wanted the drink (meaning it wasn't even rung in yet) . The waffle chunks tasted like they had freezer burn. Honestly, I was over the whole experience before we even got the chocolate just from how long everything was taking. Thankfully the cup of water had ice in it, so when it melted, I could drink the melted ice. read more

Came here for a date night birthday dinner. Our server was very nice. I just remember this place being so much more amazing. My salad was missing candied pecans, drenched in dressing, and tasted like my massage place. My bf had a Cesar salad and it came w sweet crunchy somethings and he thought it was weird so he gave them to me and it saved my salad. The cheese fondue was ok. And I looooove cheese. For the main meal we had the mojo base and it went well with our land and sea choices. Dessert was yin and Yang and that was quite tasty too. I just wasn't as amazed with the whole experience as I used to be. Additionally I had a coupon for free bday chocolate covered strawberries. When I called there's a 24hr request for them but the lady said she'd see what she could do.... Nada. I'm aok with not coming back here. read more

After years of living just a few miles away from The Melting Pot, I finally got a chance to go to it, and now I am wondering why I waited this long. The whole experience was first class, entertaining, an fun. I am looking forward to going back maybe with a larger group, when my daughter comes in for a visit, or maybe pop in just for dessert. The restaurant had a quaint feeling to it and the walls were decorated with the black and white photos of old Miami streets and Miami Beach. Maitre D was friendly and pleasant. The waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. I got the chance to pick the type of meat that I like and prepare it the way I like. If the food was under cooked or over cooked, then I had no one to blame but myself. Fot the cheese fondue we got Quattro Formaggio, which was very tasty. For the entrée I had Land and Sea in a Court Bouillon fondue, and the Pure Milk Chocolate fondue for the dessert. Everything was amazing and I can't wait to try other fondues (and fon-don'ts) read more

This place used to be great years ago - I'm not sure if it's because I was younger or if the place let itself go. I remember: elegant restaurant, romantic, dim lighting so much food, great quality. Reality now: feels like an expensive chain restaurant without the expensive food quality. Portions have gotten SO SMALL - like they even cheaped out on the bread for the cheese (which is sooooo cheap and filling?!) the meals BARELY have any food - like a few pieces of steak and like 3 veggies. They even cheaped out on the veggies!! Not kidding - we only got 4 mushrooms - 2 for each. The steak and shrimp quality wasn't even good - seriously, very very tiny. We paid about 120 for two and left hungry. It was a huge disappointment unfortunately- will never come here again. If I want the fondue experience, I can do it at home. read more

Restaurant was fairly empty . We ordered the dinner for 2 $110 per couple. On the fondue section we ordered the "classic alpine" in a wine and garlic broth. The cheese was really good and a good combination of bread and vegetables to dip in. The meat was a very poor amount for as much as you're paying. 2 bite size pieces each of the select meats and shrimp. I was shocked when I saw the amount of protein given. For dessert we have the "dark and Dulce fondue" which was fantastic. Overall I would say it's really overpriced for what you are getting. It's nice to come for the experience one time but I would not go again for dinner. Would be a great place to go for cheese fondue and dessert only. read more

I'm on the fence on this one. It is just another gimmick type restaurant. We tried the gill option with meats and vegetables. The grill was a frying pan with groves, not big enough for three people to cook. The dessert was much better. A fondue type pot with two types of chocolate and an assortment of fruits and cakes. I think the problem was the staff. Although friendly they did not seem to be interested in explaining the concept. I do not think we will be back. read more

I have been coming to this location since it was located further down Sunset on 98th Ave! Many birthdays and other celebrations have been enjoyed by my family and me with great fondue and service. But last night was by far my best experience yet and it was all due to our lovely server, Kaylin! She is upbeat, knowledgeable, and it's undeniable she sincerely enjoys ensuring her guests are well taken care of. I even noticed the folks at the table next to ours commenting about how great she is when she walked away from serving them their drinks. Whatever we needed, Kaylin provided for us enthusiastically. Also, you'll want to consider her suggestions. I never thought I'd opt for the "Flaming Turtle," but I'm really glad I followed her advice. Yum!! Exceptional service, scrumptious food, and the intimate and warm atmosphere made our night here the very best! read more

This place melts your soul into a food coma! But, a good one of course. The ambiance of the place is nice, casual, mellow, but yet fun. We had an awesome experience from beginning to end. I'll start with a shoutout to our server, Mr. Casanova, who was nothing short of amazing. He made great recommendations from our wine, cheese, main entrees, and of course the finalé... the dessert! They have a variety of cheese fondue options, which can be a bit overwhelming because they all sound SO amazing. We went with the classic cheddar, which had a bit of a bite from the beer base. The fondue is made right in front of you and brought with a side of a variety of bread (the pretzel bread was my fave) and a few veggies and apples. **Only complaint: they only have one burner on the table and don't have a portable little burner, so you kinda have to finish the cheese before you move to the main entree** Although I enjoy my food being prepared for me already cooked, cooking a variety of meats in front of you was fun- it's a different kind of experience. There is also a wide variety of sauces brought to the table for dipping. The meats were tender and tasty. Have no fear!! Grilling experience is not required! (; To finish with a bang, we went with the ying and yang. Half milk chocolate and half white chocolate. The variety of things to dip was impressive- brownies, cookies chunks, strawberries, bananas, Rice Krispies, and even waffles! The waffles have these little chunks of IDK what inside that gave it a crunch- was so yummy! Overall, had a great experience. Service was great from beginning to end. Thank you again, Mr. Casanova. read more

I've been here many times and the food is always great and the service is mediocre. I always feel like the servers don't pay enough attention to the tables. What made this last experience unpleasant was the fact that I'm now dairy free due to an allergy and my server gave me a gluten free not dairy free platter after bringing me a regular platter... after I told her about my allergy. I also asked several times that everything there was dairy free because she kept saying gluten free.... So I am now sick to my stomach and have been all day read more

We live very close to the Melting Pot and we have heard very mixed reviews about the food and experience, however for whatever reason both my wife and I were interested to try it out for ourselves. This past Friday we went with the kids and were seated right away, the table has a counter top where all the fondues are cooked. So we decided to have the four course meal which includes a cheese fondue, salad, the main entrees with several meats and of course the desert which consist of chocolate fondue. Our waiter was amazing, he provided very detailed explanation of all the dishes that we ordered, the first fondue to arrive was the Cheese, called Quattro Formaggio. It included four different types of cheese including my favorite Mozzarella with white wine and roasted garlic, it was amazing we licked it clean. It comes with slices of bread, veggies, and apple for dipping. Then main entree arrived which included shrimp, tuna, pot stickers, chicken, beef, and veggies and we ask for the mojo broth used in the fondue. It was good but you need to be patient because it is recommended that cook your meats at least for two minutes. Then the moment that we were waited for arrived the chocolate fondue, we order the dark and milk chocolate which came with fruits, pound cakes, brownies, and rice crispy treats to dip. The chocolate was perfect with the right combination of sweet and bitter. We would definitely return for a date night in the near future. read more

For a romantic night out in Kendall, Melting Pot is a great experience. It is a fondue style setting (a pot where you can melt your cheeses, entrees and even desserts.)
