The classic entree
DeResha W.

Yummy! Lots of food and a nice variety. Chicken, shrimp, pork, beef. The sauces were great too. Drink was decent. My waitress was nice and it was quick service. Quiet vibes and I would go back.

Not worth a special occasion. Worth a try. Yes. As an experience. It's been over a decade, since I have been to a melting pot. In full disclosure, I was a waiter at one over 2 decades ago. This location had a worn in feel. Dusty corners, dinged booths, and a bathroom that can't feel clean unless it's remodeled. My friend had never been and we were celebrating her birthday early. Made a same day reservation for 1500. The reservation asked if we'd like a $75 per person menu. I said yes. Wanted to keep it simple. It encouraged me to tell them about a special occasion and mention if I wanted a rose package for it. I said yes and that it was a birthday. Checking in, the hostess was polite but checked out. She didn't acknowledge the reservation notes. Server did not mention them either. Once he heard that I had been there before, he opted out of explaining the meal. Heard that line repeated at other tables. Drinks came fast. Cheese was made before we placed our main order. Later, waiter had me remind him which chocolate we wanted. He learned about the birthday celebration and didn't offer anything as an option. I'd have paid for a birthday upgrade. All the food items were fresh. Food was tasty. Left full and feeling good. No complaints there. The place doesn't have the intimate, higher dining feel it used to. In the way out, 6 employees, mix of hostesses, managers and waiters, were at the hostess stand. Full out of work conversation. Passed them and made it to the door, when behind me I heard a, "have a good one." After tip, spent $100 per person. Won't be returning.

Came here while visiting to try their new 5 course premium menu for an early birthday celebration. They also always send me a birthday coupon for chocolate covered strawberries, so I was able to get those during this visit. We tried the new Octoberfest Beer Cheese, which was amazing. Their bacon Parmesan peppercorn salad was really good too and I bought the garlic wine seasoning to take home. The dessert was very fun! We got the dark chocolate raspberry with red velvet cake and a fire cracker on top! Our service was exceptional! We had a great waitress!

So, we ordered a "Bigger Night Out" at this place, which cost nearly $200 plus tip. For that price, I have to express my condolences to people who think this is delicious and have never had authentic Asian hotpot before. It just tastes cheap. It feels like they're trying to mimic something high-end, but the food simply isn't there yet. Eating here is a unique experience, but afterward, I felt sick for the entire next day because the entrée was just too disgusting. I'm not saying the food quality is bad; I'm saying this style of cooking is pathetic. For that amount of money, I'd recommend skipping this place entirely and going to M Sushi for an omakase instead--it's a far better experience than enduring that entrée.

We visited The Melting Pot for the first time. We were blessed to get Matthew R. as our server. He did a FANTASTIC job! We couldn't have been more impressed. The food was average but Matthew's pride in his position stood out, making our visit a pleasant one.

This is a beautiful restaurant! I took my daughter here for her birthday dinner. The menu was easy to understand and our waitress was amazing! The food is a not good. I had land and sea and had the mojo broth. Everything was bland. The sauces that come with the meal were also nasty. Our favorite part of the meal was the chocolate, fruit and desserts!

Kids menu

I came with my wife and my 2 kids to have some family time and build some memories. I have to say that the experience was indeed memorable. !!! . It was different as the server prepare all the food in the 2 burners we had on the table. Great cheese appetizer, salad, then meat and finally melted chocolate with and array of sweets ready to dip ! Kids loved it, my wife and I enjoyed it. That was the good part. The problem for me is that I don't see me coming here again. The cost was about $220 for all 4, I could pay that once due to the wow factor but now that you know what to expect then the food by itself is not worth that much. I could eat almost anywhere really well with that much money. But as I said if you haven't tried it before then go for it, you need to try it once. Ambiance was ok, carpet looked a bit old and de or seemed a bit outdated though so there is some room for improvement. FYI I am rating it with 4 stars only for first visit.

Dessert dipping items

Came here with a friend. I'll preface with Ive been to a Melting Pot before. To be honest, my experience at all of them has been about the same, I'm giving it four stars because it's good fondue but not great. I've been to non-chain fondues, which are typically a little pricier, but the food and experience are better. My friend and I started with the Wisconsin Cheese, it's good but nothing to die for. I really like the apples and bread, the vegetables were meh. I have always really liked Melting Pot's house salad dressing, so I was impressed. I had the land and sea with the Mojo style preparation. The shrimp and salmon were my favorite. I love the different sauce options. For dessert, we opted for the pure milk chocolate. I wish they offered more fruit. The brownie, Rice Krispies, cookie, and pound cake all tasted a bit stale. Marshmallows, which I didn't think I'd like, were my fave!! The server was great, overall good experienc.

This is a good place to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries or just to have an intimate date night. Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday and it had been quite a few years since the last time we came. It is just as I remember it. If I have anything negative to say, it would be that it's time for the chain to get an update. I get the intimate feel but I think the decor is too dark and drab. Our server was Simon. He did a fantastic job of refreshing our memory in regards to the menu and offering suggestions. He didn't try and upsell us and checked on us enough to not be a bother. Management was also on the floor making sure everyone was having a good experience. Overall we would return, especially if they updated the place. But it might be another few years before we decide to go again.

Such an amazing experience! Our waitress was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable! The food was amazing! So flavorful! The ambiance was incredible! We were there for over 2 hours and it didn't feel like it at all! It was so much fun to pick out and cook our food.

Our party of 11 visited the Melting Pot to celebrate my mom's birthday. When you have a large party you have to fill out a "large party agreement" and select all your food in advance. This has positives and negatives. On the positive side you can choose for your first course cheeses to be on the table when you arrive. This is great when you have small kids and hungry adults. Cheeses were a big hit with all of us. I chose the cheddar and the queso thinking it would be a regular one for the kids and a spicy one for the adults but it was not spicy at all. Cheeses are served with breads, fruit and chips. Next course was salad. My only complaint about the salad is that you had to choose the same one for every member of your party. I chose the California because it seemed most interesting. I loved it but about half our party did not and would have preferred a Caesar or House. Third course -- the meats. We ordered the land and sea which was steak, chicken, shrimp and salmon. It worked well with our big group because we could swap and share preferred proteins. This course also came with broccoli, potatoes and mushrooms. I ordered the Court Bouillon and Mojo broths. Bouillon was pretty boring but Mojo was good. Also, the waiter brought out six different sauces to dip your meat in. Grand finale was the chocolates. I ordered the original thinking the kids would like that one best and the cookies and cream. Everyone preferred the cookies and cream and the kids really enjoyed roasting their marshmallows over it. The chocolate came out with cake, fruit, marshmallows and Rice Krispie treats to dip. They also brought my mom a small piece of cake with a macaron and cream puff. Overall, was it the best food I've ever eaten? No. Was it a fabulous experience that all ages enjoyed? Yes. Service was great as well. Fun spot for special occasions.

It was my first time ever trying the Melting Pot. We came for a friend's birthday celebration. I was super impressed by the variety of food offerings and just the overall experience. Dhyani was our server and she was very attentive to the needs of the table. Kudos to her because we all have very unique palettes. We were even able to ask for seasoning for our meat( which was definitely necessary). I feel like you get a good value for your money here. I would definitely return.

We started with the beef tartare, which was absolutely delicious, along with the bread and butter. The butter was so flavorful that it deserves a special mention on its own! For our entrées, we had the chicken cordon bleu and the steak frites. Both dishes were perfectly executed. The flavors were beautifully balanced, with nothing overpowering the other, allowing each ingredient to shine. To finish, we ordered the crème brûlée, and it was divine. It wasn't overly sweet--just smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The service made the experience even more memorable. Our waiter, Red, was incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. He was attentive without being intrusive, answered all of our questions, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. I can't recommend Jolie enough. Every part of the experience--from the food and ambiance to the exceptional service--was outstanding. We would come back in a heartbeat. After dining here, it's easy to understand why Jolie has earned Michelin recognition. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they receive a Michelin star in the near future.

The gin fizz was light, airy, and refreshing; definitely the perfect complement to the meal. Safe to say... I WILL BE GOING BACK

The food is incredibly creative and delicious, and every visit feels like an experience. Their foie gras is outstanding, they make a fabulous Old Fashioned, and their nightly specials are super creative. They will also pre- split appetizers for you if you are sharing. When celebrating an anniversary the chef signs a decorative menu to take home, which is such a lovely keepsake. (Yes, I saved ours) The service is polished and attentive without feeling overdone--exactly what you want for a fancy night out. A few practical notes: the parking lot behind the restaurant is often full, but there is street parking and several paid lots nearby. Definitely make a reservation, especially for Valentine's Day--as it books up months in advance.

Good Harvest is a great spot if you're going with a group. While they offer hot pot, we decided to…read moreorder a couple of dry pots to share instead. Since there were so many of us, we reserved their private dining room, which came with a karaoke machine. It made the whole experience a lot of fun since we could eat, sing, and be as loud as we wanted without bothering anyone else. We got there right when they opened, so our food came out pretty quickly. After everything was served, though, we didn't really see our server much. The food was excellent--everything we ordered was really good, and if you order it spicy, they definitely mean it, so keep that in mind. I'd definitely come back, but I'd recommend going with a bigger group so you can order a variety of dishes and share everything.

We ordered plenty for the first table and they brought so much food we did not need to order again! I loved the hand-pulled noodles and enoki mushrooms. The rice cakes were soft, chewy, and delicious. If I went again I would love to try the dumplings. The fried dough was also very yummy. You won't be disappointed with anything you order here! You are able to make your own sauces at the sauce bar, which is another way to customize the flavors you get. I don't think you could go wrong here either... The restaurant started to get busier when we were finishing up, but the tables are spaced well so it never felt crowded. Our servers were quick and attentive, never letting my water go below half full!! I will definitely come back the next time I want Hot Pot!
