A wonderfully intimate atmosphere where the servers and bartenders always treat you like treasured company. Melting Pot is not a cheap date night but it is a really good one. I've never had a bad experience here and honestly have never regretted the spend. If you're worried about price, sneak in for Happy Hour at the bar and enjoy $10 cocktails and $30 a person cheese, salad, and chocolate. It is a wonderful value and definitely more than enough to fill you up. The full meal experience allows for you to customize your meal for each person and you cook your fondue while enjoying conversation and the atmosphere. read more

Amanda was our server for a later lunch, and she was great. We got the "big night out" and got the cheddar cheese for our first selection, coq au vin for our entree and S'mores (which wasn't on the menu but WAS still available). We also requested no pork, and had no issues with getting more of another selection instead; we chose extra teriyaki steak. The standee on the table had the cooking times, which was nice because it was that extra reassurance I wasn't going to accidentally undercook! I also appreciated that the descriptions of the sauces were there. My partner went to take a work call outside shortly before our desert got delivered, but Amanda delivered our desert and waited to do the flambé until he got back, which I greatly appreciated. The lighting is lower even during the day, so this still made for a lovely earlier date for the two of us, which was nice since my partner was on call and things seem to be more prone during dinner, so it was still a nice way to fit a date into our week. read more

This was my first and last time at The Melting Pot. I always wanted to go for the experience. They have a 3 course happy hour special ($50 entree add on). Orlando was having magical dining which is restaurant week/month. Service was fair. The downside of things was it took too long to cook the meats. We told our waitress. She said she turned up the fire as high as she could. That still wasn't good enough for us. By that being way too time-consuming. I don't ever wanna go back to the melting pot. We had bread and raw veggies. Me personally I don't like cold food. The veggies would've been better had they been steamed prior. And the bread should have been warned. I will Server did at one point warm the bread in the microwave so we can dip in our fondue. One and done for me.... read more

We made the mistake of coming on Valentine's Day, which is no doubt their busiest day of the year. We made reservations over a month in advance, and were seated nearly an hour after our reservation time. We would have left but we had no where else to go. The service was on the slower side, which to be fair, they were slammed. But the food just wasn't good or anything special. I've been to The Melting Pot before and I remembered it being better. My husband however LOVED the cheese fondue. But it's kind of hard to mess that up. The dessert was good though. They do have just dessert as an option, so if you're hellbent on coming here, I would just come for dessert. read more

Had a really lovely second visit to The Melting Pot! My husband decided to come here for his birthday dinner. We opted for the dinner for 2. We picked the bacon and brie fondue, the house salads, the steak lovers with mojo broth, and the turtle chocolate fondue. Service was super friendly and attentive. My husband was given a birthday card as well. We love coming here! read more

As always, had an amazing time. The server had no issues working with food substitutions that we needed. We did the big night out. Cheddar cheese first course. Extra broccoli . One California salad and one Cesar. Yes to the wine and garlic seasoning. Entree was up Fusion with coq au vain style. Felt just full enough to still enjoy the smores chocolate course. read more

Experience was great. We had Maya as our server and she was awesome. My friend just got a job at another location and wanted to have the whole experience. Maya kindly explained everything. For cheese we chose the fiesta cheese and classic alpine. I'm vegetarian and thought the vegetarian options were great. I do wish they had cheese raviolis as an option as I don't eat mushroom. We chose the classic and the flaming turtle. We added a shot of kahlua to the classic and it was great. Overall great expe read more

Four of us went to the Melting Pot and had the most wonderful evening. Our waitress, Amanda, was attentive and helpful. We ordered two- four course meals (2 people for $130 and it covered a cheese fondue, salad, entree, and chocolate fondue). We selected the Wisconsin cheddar and alpine (both were amazing- the cheddar particularly so), two of us the house salad with raspberry vinaigrette and two of us the cesar salad (I can attest the raspberry vinaigrette was SO good and the cesar was raved about), the grill was fun and the coq a vin delicious (and the meats were such good quality, tender, and not fatty at all), and finally the yin and yang, and the flaming turtle (both of which I'd highly recommend). Well definitely return. We highly recommend this spot! read more

The Melting Pot - Fondue Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Our server was really nice. Parking was awful. Bathroom stall out of order. It's a lot of food.

First time sitting at the bar and enjoying fondue alone. I will do it again! The bartender, the young lady's whose name I really wish I could remember, was very friendly and efficient. I "only" had the cheese, Classic Alpine and chocolate, Flaming Turtle. The dippers were fresh and yummy. Plentiful enough for me, but they will bring you more if you desire. read more

First time at the melting pot. When you come here you're making a night of it so be sure to plan for plenty of time to dine! Food was great and service was awesome. Gabe was an incredible server --thanks Gabe!! He honestly made the night. I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much without his hospitality. Quite a fun and engaging stop. read more

We were here twice in the past month. The first trip was for happy hour at the bar. Our bartender was super friendly and the drinks were great. We also had cheese and chocolate fondue that was really good. We usually get the fiesta cheese and I request extra apples. The second trip was around my husband's birthday for Magical Dining month. I have been going to Melting Pot for like 15 years, and have never had such bad service. The only staff members that were friendly were the same bartender from last month that remembered us and the manager. We sat down to eat at 6pm and didn't leave until 8. The section we were in was pretty empty when we arrived, but it took a long time to order. Our cheese course was good, fiesta cheese with extra apples and soft pretzels. The dinner course was the main issue. Our meats and dips came out but no veggies. Our waiter was nowhere to be found. There seemed to be two other waiters in our section. I stopped a hostess and let her know about the veggies since she was the first person I saw after we had eaten over half our meats. The manager came around asking how everything was. I told him that I think our waiter quit or left since I hadn't seen him. I let him know about the veggies and eventually they were brought. In the meantime my husband went to the bar to get more ice water since both of ours were out and no one was coming around with water. Our chocolate course was good and our waiter did eventually come back. By this time our section was full. It seemed like we were his only table in this section or maybe he was a trial server. Normally at Melting Pot I'm use to someone checking on us about every 10 minutes - not necessarily the server, but someone. Magical Dining is a great deal. We would only be back to sit at the bar. You can eat there just as ease as sitting at a table with much better service. read more

Went to the Melting Pot, with family and friends for our shared birthday. This was our first time coming to this type of food experience. The idea sounds cool, however, I was not impressed by the food and experience. For being something that we had to cook ourselves, I was not happy that the server was taking way too long, to bring the raw food that we had to cook. So that put the experience a little sour. However, I like to give establishments the benefits of the doubt by maybe trying the place out another time, to give the place a chance. The ambience was very nice. One can go for a date or a meet up with family and friends. It appeared that they had a full bar, so adult drinks are available. read more

I was really excited to try The Melting Pot for the first time. I grew up hearing how amazing it was, so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to them. The cheese flavors were very strong--so much so that they became a bit overwhelming and unenjoyable for me. The entrée was okay, but personally, I'd rather have my food fully prepared than cook it myself at the table. It just wasn't my preferred dining style. Our server was helpful, but since it was our first visit, we had several questions. At times, it felt like he may have been a bit bothered by them, which made us slightly uncomfortable. The food also took quite a while to come out--even though it was served raw--so we were a bit confused by the wait time. The highlight of the evening was when the manager approached us as we were leaving and invited us to take a photo at their photo booth. That thoughtful gesture really added a positive touch to the night. Overall, it just wasn't a dining concept or flavor profile that I see myself craving in the future. read more

Shepard was awesome! He made us feel right at home with his genuine interest in our lives and our anniversary celebration. He had awesome vibes and we'd love to be served by him again! Food was delicious of course, spinach cheese dip and the flaming turtle was the perfect end to our night. read more

The last time we went here it was for magical dining so I for sure wasn't prepared for the price, you know I almost compare it to like a Korean bbq because you have to cook your own food, but it felt like I was paying for much more. Nothing I ate was bad, I liked the meats and the dipping sauces. Dessert was a little too much sweet for me and honestly by that time I was very full but it's not a place you can really take leftovers...I mean the meat is raw so what's the plan there? Sure u could have taken the bite size pieces of dessert but my chocolate wouldn't have been the same. So I just stuffed it all in lol Our server was nice, gave my dad a hard time when my dad gave him one and that doesn't happen often so I was glad he held his own. He was slightly pushy on wanting us to write a google review, even having his Google review QR code on his personal cell phone that he tried to hand us. I won't use his name because I'm sure he was just doing what he was asked to do. We told him we were yelp humans and would write this review which didn't seem to please him as much. I would say the meal just took a little bit too long. We were there over two hours and not because we were eating the whole time or talking to each other but more because we were waiting for the next course or for our server to return. One win: and a big one at that, my father has a million food allergies and they accommodated all of it. Including garlic which tends to be VERY hard. read more

We had a great experience at the Melting Pot last night. The food was amazing (as always), ambience is great (perfect for a night out with friends or date). Our server Oscar provided superb service. We go to this location at least once a year. The only thing that changed this time around was the wait time upon arrival (even with a reservation). This is the first time we had to wait for everyone on our party to show up to be seated. It was a small group - 5 people and 4 had already there. read more

I absolutely loved it.... right now I'm enjoying myself.... I will say that I was nervous because I'm not big at trying new things and I'm vex picky but I have to say I absolutely loved it and I can't wait to come again. Chris was our server and Judy was a helper and they were extremely nice and very helpful, courteous and enjoyable to talk with. The manager and hostess was just as nice, too. The atmosphere is so relaxing and fun... the music is fun... uplifting... it is immaculately cleaned. Even the bathroom is cute, especially the faucet. Every employee that won five was respectful and nice . Everyone seems to be happy at their job.. they have people in the same area but spaced so it's really nice. You feel like you have your own space but you don't feel isolated. OK, I just tried the dessert and oh my goodness if I never eat anything else, this is the absolute best and I will fight anybody over it ... it's what you would call heavenly.... I'm so HAPPY!!! This is a 5 Star Experience!!! read more

Too dark. We all had to use flashlights to read the menu. The food was soso. The Pinot Noir wine was good. read more

When it comes to a special occasion, we have often found ourselves looking for something interesting, fun and unique, the Melting Pot is exactly that. If you love fondue in any form you will love this concept. The variety of food you get to dunk into your fondue makes it a great experience for everyone. We opted for both the cheese and the chocolate fondue which gave us double the fun. If you are looking for something special then look no further, the price is higher than others dinners, but you are certainly paying for a memorable night out on top of your food. In terms of service, the staff are all friendly and knowledgeable and helped us make some enjoyable choices we may not have selected ourselves. We will be back when the next occasion calls! read more

What a wonderful birthday I had at Melting Pot Orlando yesterday. First, the hostess Giovanna seated us, as requested by me, in a nice secluded area so my husband and I could enjoy our time together. She was so very cordial. Our server Carsen was amazing and "spot on" with her service. Everyone here is so very friendly and I personally suspect that they receive their training at Disney University. This place never disappoints which is why it is worth the drive for us (although the Tampa Melting Pot is closer to us where we live). We always decide to drive for quality of service and excellence in food prep/presentation/freshness etc. Definitely worth the drive. A+ and thank you Giovanna and Carsen for making my 63rd birthday yesterday 'extra special'. Love this place! read more

Besides our server (Amanda) being upbeat, friendly, professional and patient - she was very attentive and ensured we had the ultimate experience! The atmosphere here is comfortable and feels very private. It is just a little dark, so perhaps a small lamp on each table would be a good idea (especially when checking to see if the meat is cooked thoroughly). We used our phones as timers because of this reason! The food was top quality & all the meat was cut in pieces that weren't too big or too small. The menu has a lot of choices & it's always difficult to choose. They have a la cart options for those who just want a appetizer, salad, entree or dessert - along with a 4 course menu. Everything is fresh & most definitely worth every penny! I would highly recommend! read more

Food amazing as always, interior was romantic and nicely dim, the service is the reason it gets 4 stars. Our server seemed to disappear through our meal for long periods which drug it out to over 2 hours, we eventually flagged someone down and requested to keep our meal moving please. But people get busy so it's understandable at time. Will give it another shot since the food was so nice read more

The Melting Pot - Smores chocolate - Fondue Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This was one of my favorite restaurant chains for a long, long time. I've also been to this location many times, but it has been probably 2 years. We decided to go for NYE. One thing that was a bit annoying was the price of the package we chose was slightly off from what they posted on OpenTable when we booked. Only a few dollars, but still, felt misleading. We were surprised how little of some of the sides they give you now. Obviously you can ask for more, but it was pretty sad to be given so little of the veggies with the cheese and entree and have to ask right away. Unfortunately even with asking with the entree right away, we never got it, 30+ minutes later once our server checked on us again we just decided it was too later and to forget it. But the veggies are always my favorite part. Our server was very nice, but not attentive at all. Granted it was NYE, but the servers around us were constantly checking back on their tables and we waited long, long periods of time to even ask for more water or pay the bill. I think the main issue was that our server didn't have any other tables in our section, so we were forgotten about. Food was very good, but I did feel the experience wasn't as good as it used to be. The servers used to do a lot more at the table, where not I assume most is done in the kitchen. Part of what I liked was watching it being made. read more

The service here was above and beyond! We were celebrating a birthday and they put out rose petals and a candle at our request. I had also requested a secluded booth and they did just that! It was a very intimate experience. Our server Chadwick was amazing. It was our first time there and he was sure to explain the menu and how it worked. My Martini was delicious they have so many options to choose from. I got the land and sea and it tasted amazing. It was all reasonably priced and I would definitely go again read more

This is our first time at the Orlando location and it was a great meal. The Good: 1) Our server Jake was amazing! Super attentive and really on the ball. 2) The food was delicious (we did the classic 4 course for 2 people) 3) We were able to change things up based on dietary needs: I was able to get Gluten Free dippers and broth and my daughter subbed her shrimp out for teriyaki steak. Very accommodating. 4) The pacing between courses was good also. I've been to ones in the past that had us waiting a long time. This was just right. 5) The bathrooms were really nice The Bad: 1) Nothing really - just keep in mind it's more of a special occasion or date place, as the 4 course for 2 is over $100 without drinks. But I highly recommend it for special occasions. 2) It's dark - but that's their theme. Tips: If you are having a special birthday or celebration, you can also tell them ahead of time and order chocolate covered strawberries or balloons or a stuffed bear and they'll have it ready at your table when you arrive. This location was easy to get into and out of also. We'll definitely go again or a special meal. read more

Wow! Got there early and it was a happy hour so another fun experience is you roll a die and that determines how much you're gonna pay for your drink how fun and how cool is that . Ordered a glass of wine and if you roll a one you pay one dollar if you roll a two you pay two dollars if you roll a three you pray three dollars if you roll it's half off and if you paid the happy hour price . What an experience! it seems like a pricey experiences. All of the vegetables you can order in the amount of meats they give you take home enough for two more days of meals. That is not including your dessert and if you sign up for their email the next year when you come back or the next time you come back, you get a gift of chocolate covered strawberries . So it is worth it to go experience and learn the process. Enjoy this cooking class adventure.. so to speak. The food looks fresh the cheese fondue and broth that they make are made at the table so you get to see every ingredient that they put in it from the wine to the broth. Scallions is incredibly flavorful. And they add new recipes every year according to my friend that I was with from the past two years. It is a learning process, but how fun dipping your meats in cheese and broth and learning how long to keep it in there to the temperature that you want your meats or seafood. The conversations are flowing around the table of oh my next one I'm going to do this way or that way. Maria our server was extremely patient kind understanding knowledgeable in every stage of the process that we were getting ready to experience not touching the burner to suggestions and how you should dip one or two or three continues so that you are eating a meat all the time to suggestions on a broth or cheese to what type of meat that you order, and explaining all of the dipping sauces that comes with your experience. They also have gluten-free options. Tom, the manager came to our table to welcome us and also check on us always plus. This restaurant is well designed and laid out. It gives you a swanky, romantic, private feel.. They also have a free photo booth that we enjoyed And had so much fun to finish off our night capturing our memory that we were all able to have a printed copy of to take home with us. read more

We have been going to the Melting Pot for years, and we love it. It is a wonderful place to spend family time, although small children need to be closely supervised. Service is excellent. Some areas feel too tight, but the time you spend there is so wonderful that we kind of forgive that. We always order the traditional cheese fondue, an option with beef, chicken, and shrimp for the main course, and the Yin and Yang chocolate fondue. It has become pricier over the years, making us look for other options sometimes. read more

I've been to Melting Pot few times but my wife had never been so we set this as our anniversary dinner. I added this option (anniversary)in the online reservation for extra charge said included picture. Upon our arrival after short wait we were ushered to table to find rose petals waiting to set the mood. At this point we were introduced to our waiter and briefly explained how everything works for cooking and ordering. We both started w drink orders where the waiter then asked for my wife's ID but not mine. We both explained we were married for 4 years bc she didn't have ID w her. I asked the waiter why he carded her and not me, his response was "You are clearly older but she does not look old enough." Well you can guess that our opinion & interest in whatever else he said after was not good. I basically ignored him rest of night except to order. Other than that, you really can't go wrong w the food just choose starting fondue cheese, salad, cooking meats, cooking broth, & dessert. The meat pieces all cook in the broth for 4-5 minutes. Our food was great, our waiter was awful. The photo that paid extra for was not really explained well except that it was taken at end of dinner. Our amazing waiter didn't ever mention it again, we had to ask a bus boy where the Photo Booth was, and guess what never got those photos! The day after posted this review did finally receive the Photo Booth photos. read more

I've been coming to this location for years and it's always a great experience. Depending on when you come, the parking lot can be a bit tough since there are other restaurants and businesses in that shopping center. For dining, you have three options: outdoor, high tops at the bar, and tables. I always prefer getting one of the more private tables. I usually make reservations on OpenTable and make the request. I've tried almost all of the cheese fondue at this point. On my most recent trip we opted for the Bacon and Brie and I absolutely loved it. It's definitely for people who like a stronger, sharper cheese but I thought it was fantastic. I'm boring with the next two courses because I always get the same thing...Caesar salad and the big night out with the mojo broth (that broth is amaaazing with the veggies, I always leave them a little extra than they recommend and they soak up the flavor). For dessert, same with the cheese - I've tried almost all of them. This time we opted for the Carmel Toffee Crunch. I liked it, but the original is always preferred. read more
