    The Melting Pot is a bit of dinner and entertainment combined. We went for happy hour -- service was great, and the staff was friendly and accommodating, even offering gluten-free options without an upcharge, which is rare and appreciated. We ordered one cheese and one dessert fondue. The dipping options included bread, veggies, and fruit. The cheese fondue uses pre-shredded cheese with anti-caking powder all over it. I also had a cocktail, which was very sweet -- and most of the drink menu seemed to lean that way rather than offering craft-style cocktails. Overall, the food was just okay; I neither loved nor hated the experience. Had I paid full dinner pricing, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. A solid 3-star visit.

    Restaurant Week is still going strong, and we were so excited to finally try The Melting Pot. My kids absolutely loved the hands-on experience--from appetizers to dinner to dessert--it made the whole meal much more fun. We originally didn't plan on getting dessert since they served us so much delicious protein that we couldn't finish it all. But in the end, we gave in--and wow, it was worth it! My daughter is already asking to come back for her birthday! The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed. And even though the restaurant was packed when we left, the booths made it feel cozy and private. Here's what we tried: Mac and Five Cheese Fondue Chicago Deep Dish Fondue Caprese Salad Meat Lovers Fondue Vegetable Fondue Chocolate Explosion Birthday Cake (a must-try!) We have to come back to try the different cooking styles for fondue! So far, we've had Mojo and Cast Iron Grill, but next time, we'll be trying: Coq au Vin Court Bouillon Bourguignonne If you haven't been to The Melting Pot yet, put it on your list! It's such a fun and unique dining experience--perfect for a special occasion or just because.

    Finally tried The Melting Pot during the 2025 Inlander Week Event! The food and drinks were a 10/10, absolutely delicious with no complaints. Cooking at the table made it interactive and fun, perfect for families or date nights. Spokane needs more spots like this! Common guys!!! Excited to come back and try their regular vegan menu. Wish more restaurants here offered one, shoutout to Twigs Bistro for having one! Plenty of tasty mocktails too. I had the blackberry citrus one, which reminded me of Clinkerdagger's drinks. Some drinks even come with gummy bears, like the Shark Nibble. Woohoooo candy :D

    Our first time ever at a fondue restaurant. This place hit the mark all the way around. But beware of one thing, they give you A LOT of food. Unless you're willing to eat a lot, you may want to get service for two or three if you have a party of four. Other than that, the service was great, the food is fantastic, and the ambience is really nice. Highly recommend going there on a date night or just a casual night out with friends.

    Definitely fun place to bring friends or ur other half! We went during happy hour which is only available at bar side ( 21 y.o and older) which made the fondue all half off! Pretty fun experience especially being my first time! Food was very simple, not meats which I was kind of sad but basic foods like bread, fruits, veggies to dip into the fondue! They also gave us more fruits to finish off the chocolate fondue

    I've been here three times with my girlfriend and it never disappoints. The service quality is absolutely amazing, our server this time was Dakota and he brought a great atmosphere to our night. The food was delicious as always. A great way to spend my Valentine's Day. If you're okay with spending a little then I definitely recommend you come here.

    The Melting Pot was a good New Year's Eve choice for dinner. The food was amazing. The service was top notch!! It was my boyfriend's first time there and he loved it!!

    Went out to melting pot on a double date to celebrate and had an amazing experience at the melting pot. It was my first time there and I wasn't entirely sure of what to expect. We were there for almost 2 hours for a 4 course dinner that (with some drinks) cost about $260 for 2. The cheese, broth and chocolate fondue are assembled right in front of you which was very cool. The little hot pad in the middle of the table keeps the kettle hot and melts the cheese/chocolate and keeps the broth hot enough to cook the proteins. There are so many options of proteins and cheese. Can't go wrong with any of them!! It was a very cool experience and the food was very fresh and delicious and the drinks (especially the sweet tart) were absolutely delightful.

    S'mores dessert

    Easily one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The meal selection was fantastic while the s'more's selection was easily one of the best desserts I've ever had. Our server was very kind and informative. The price is kinda expensive, but worth every dollar.

Their menu is very interesting, it definitely tells a new American story with a lot of influence, but holds traditional to a new American style. The service is incredible. Everyone seems so happy and alive. Every single thing that we got was perfect. The port flight was quite a steal at $20. We were excited to try some different items, but were even more thrilled when it came out with some amazing chocolate. The bread puffs that come before the meal are to die for, and we got a taquito appetizer that was super filling, fresh, vibrant, and a little unique too. I wish we didn't live all the way across the country! This is a must stop in Spokane for a lovely and memorable meal.

But, if you have money, or if you want to make an impression, by all means, this is the place. Quaint, nicely decorated place. Low light, quiet, everyone is happy. But, again, go for the food. Everything else is a plus. My first visit was a year ago. I had a fish dish. I'm asking myself why it took so long to go back! Dress nicely, you'll feel important.

Our server was friendly, professional, and perfectly timed, attentive without hovering or rushing us. For food, I ordered the Brussels sprouts with jalapeno, ham, and parmesan, also had the butternut squash agnolotti with sage butter. The agnolotti was well made and rich, though a touch on the sweet side for my taste. The Brussels sprouts were fine, but the mild jalapenos caught me off guard. My friend had the chicory salad and really enjoyed it. In hindsight, I wished I had gone with something a little lighter too. Overall, it was a good meal with warm service and a comfortable atmosphere. I would go back, but next time I would explore another item on the menu.

We sat down just my husband and I while we waited for my mother and her husband. We ordered drinks and it took 15 minutes to get them. I understand it was Mother's Day and it was busy so I let it go. My mother arrived and we obviously ordered the Mother's Day brunch, and we were never told that they would bring us plates eventually we were told we had to go pick up plates, which was fine. When we went to go get our plates at the buffet, there were no plates available. We had to wait at the buffet for five minutes before they brought us plates. It was very uncomfortable. When we got back to our table 20 minutes after we had arrived, we still had to ask for silverware. After that, we were never offered another drink or a refill on water or ice. There was no question offered to us in regards to how our food was and whether we were doing OK or not. And after a $75 gift certificate, I still ended up paying $280. This is unacceptable and if you're charging someone that much money, your service should be top-notch, but that is not how it turned out to be.

The venue itself is pretty presentable, kind of in a weird limbo of not quite themed to much of a set decor but also not nearly as modern as other restaurants. We both ordered burgers off the menu, I expected a bit more from both if I could be honest. The portion sizes of each meal were pretty decent. When it came to preparation and the way each patty was cooked, I think you can expect a better burger from Red Robin and could expect to save more money. I'm not in the business of pushing for people to go to major chains or corporations, but I would say paying for a martini bar experience should have a kind of food experience to match. Their fries are tasty and are unique with basil added in the seasoning. Overall, a good experience just not enough for the 5 star review.
