    My husband and I went for my birthday this year! The online reservation process was very simple! The environment is dim, perfect for a romantic date. Our waitress, Kate was so sweet! She was happy to take our pictures upon request. The food was delicious! There's so many options! The menu is very organized, it was easy to order. It's self serve/ cook. Kate gave as the suggested duration for cooking. Then there's desert.. 4-5 course meal had our bellies happy and full. The only downfall about this is that we left smelling like smoke.

    Some friends and I went to melting pot for a dessert night and we were not disappointed!! We ordered the s'mores and milk chocolate fondue, both of which were absolutely delicious. We got dippings (pound cake, brownies, brookies, strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, Rice Krispies) and ordered a couple add-ons (cream puffs and cheesecake for $3 each). We highly recommend getting the cream puffs because they paired perfectly with the chocolate. However, what really made the experience (or more like who) was our server Bailey! He was one of the most cheerful, accommodating, and kind servers. He made sure we had everything we needed and absolutely elevated the good mood with his own upbeat and fun vibes! The only thing to keep in mind is that this is all a bit pricey. I paid about $21 for everything (tip included) and this was after splitting the cost with one other person. One dessert fondue serves two people and is $22, plus the add-ons for $6, plus tip. It's reasonable if you're going with a group of 2 or more.

    Went here for my birthday and it was a truly different experience. Cooking your own food and trying the different sauces was fun. My family and friends enjoyed ourselves.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVVVEE! This is such a unique experience. I went with my sister and mom for a little family "date" night, and it was so much fun. We did the original deal (which is intended for a date night meal for two people) and our waitress let us order it for just us, without adding on the price of another person. It was still plenty of food. We left stuffed and happy. For those who haven't been there, you start off with a fondue of your choice and you get some dippers (bread, apples, vegetables, etc) and that alone is very filling. Then you get salads (if you're doing the meal combo, which I recommend). Next you cook your food in a hot pot style. Finally, the chocolate!! It is perfect. It allows for great conversation, too. We ended up being there for 2 hours, when we would normally be in and out of a restaurant in less than an house. Highly recommend!

    My son celebrated his birthday here with his girlfriend. I surprised them and called and picked up the tab for their gift. Jerod was their waiter who helped me with making this night special. Quinn is the manager who was awesome in helping with this process too! Thanks Melting Pot for being awesome!

    Absolutely amazing experience with Jarrod and Kate last Wednesday night. My best friend and i wanted to do a last minute date night and actually had a reservation elsewhere.... we were sat there and waited 25 minutes and nobody came to help us, even after we told the host nobody had been by. It was unreal the lack of care and customer service.... and i work at another restaurant in town. I was shocked. We ended up finding Melting Pot and saw the Wednesday BFFF deal. Neither of us had been before so we figured it was meant to be and they had a deal. Both Jarrod and Kate were extremely helpful in explaining the menu to two people who had absolutely no idea how it worked. The food was amazing all around. drinks were great, and service was exceptional. We will definitely be back and thank you for saving our night!!!!!

    California salad, Wisconsin Wedge salad, fiesta cheddar dip and spread

    This was my second time here and my fiancés first time. We were celebrating my birthday and oh em gee! Was it special!? We had the 4course meal for two. We started with the fiesta cheese dip which was accompanied with the traditional bread, broccoli, cauliflower and apples. Then came our salads I had the California salad and my fiancé ate the Wisconsin wedge salad. Both salad plates were cleaned! Our entree came out with the mojo cooking style (recommended by my sister). My fiancé was super confused at first because he didn't understand that we would be cooking our own food (I kinda snuck that in at the last minute) but eventually got the hang of it and enjoyed the experience. Our final course was dessert and it came with a happy birthday plate and a candle on top of a piece of cake. Super special super fun I definitely recommend. Oh wait and their drinks AMAZING!

    Standard dippers are unlimited! What?!?

    Visiting Tallahassee, much enjoyed this buffet-style restaurant with traditional Chinese hot-pot…read more They bring you a bowl of soup broth, which boils at your table, while pick up the meats and vegetables from the buffet and dip them in your soup bowl to cook. The buffet has a huge variety of foods to sample and boil for your dinner: including thinly sliced meats, preparations of tofu, noodles and dumplings, fish chunks, vegetables, exotic mushrooms and seaweeds. And a large assortment of marine invertebrates. There are seven different soup broths -- from simple miso-styles to Thai lemongrass styles. And a variety of dipping seasonings. We had a blast, trying different foods and flavors. This restaurant also has Korean cuisine: kimchi, dang myeon starch noodles, tteok rice logs for your soup, miyeok seaweed, seasoned meat slices. They have grills for doing Korean Galbi in-table grilled cuisine also. Note the name has changed: it is Lao Jia Hot Pot. Same place, same phone number, new name. Note also: I think you can't get traditionally-served prepared dishes. This restaurant has Hot Pot or Galbi, you get your ingredients from the buffet and cook your food at your table.

Although no one was at the front when I first arrived, the owner quickly came out, seated me, and checked in throughout my meal to make sure everything was going well. His hospitality set a great tone for the visit. My server, Romeo, was outstanding--friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to explain how hot pot works, helped set up my table, and offered excellent broth and food recommendations. The broth temperature was perfect, and everything cooked just right. The restaurant itself felt a bit dated, but the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Even though it was quiet and I was dining alone, the attentive service and conversation made the experience enjoyable. While the location is somewhat hidden in a storefront area, this spot has strong potential and could be a big hit in a college town like Tallahassee with FSU, TCC, and FAMU nearby. Overall, it was well worth the visit, and I would definitely recommend Volcano Hot Pot.

Cheesecake...caramel cheesecake with a blueberry compote and banana's foster over the top. Good Lord....best dessert I've ever had. Went back the next night. Redfish. Blackened. Incredible. Our waitress was fun and engaging. Not too fun though. The ambiance here is still tilted to upscale/finer dining. Definitely a date place if you need one. We ate there twice in a weekend ... so that is how good the food is.

    I was pleased to find that Harry's Seafood Bar and Grille was listed on Uber Eats as I searched for…read morerestaurants while visiting the city of Tallahassee. And its 4.4-star rating out of 600+ via Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience. Looking through the menu of Harry's, I took interest in and ended up ordering their fried grouper sandwich with Harry's collard greens, and a key lime pie, which both were items I had an interest in trying while visiting the city of Tallahassee. Whether it be Grubhub or now Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient. Much praise to the Uber Eats delivery driver, Dezi, for arriving with my order at a reasonable time, as well as meeting me in front of the hotel. And Dezi also confirmed that it was me grabbing the order, which I cannot thank her so much for. Once I retrieved my order, it was so hard to not smell it inside of the elevator while heading up to my hotel room. First, I want to say that I was satisfied with the presentation of what I ordered. However, I was not satisfied with the way it was placed inside of the bag, which led to the collard greens leaking slightly, and the cream of the lime pie being splattered around the container. Now my mouth salivated prior to taking my first bite of the grouper sandwich, which appeared big! It could have easily turned into the only meal I ate for the evening and I was not complaining about that. It tasted just as good as it appeared with the addition of tartar sauce which I put a whole glob of it on, tehehe. The grouper sandwich made me forget about the way my food was placed inside of the bag. After letting the grouper sandwich settle off my taste buds, I went for the collard greens, which I enjoyed outside of picking out the chunks of meat! There was a point while eating the collard greens, I said to myself "This is good!". If you love collard greens as much as I do, then I recommend Harry's collard greens, but keep in mind that it has meat chunks inside of it. Now, I saved the best for last, which was the key lime pie! Mm... It was basically a cheesecake in the form of lime pie! And oh my was it tasty! I would be lying if I said that I left some crumbs behind because it sure was satisfying. Okay, Harry's you have won over this traveler from the Midwest. Being that I had a great ordering experience, I would surely order from Harry's Seafood Bar and Grille again whether it be Uber Eats delivery or takeout whenever visiting the city of Tallahassee.

We decided to sit at the bar when it was obvious that the line at the door was not moving at all. The bar wait was just as long because we found out the one waitress/hostess/bartender/everything else was all being performed by the same poor woman!! She was doing her best. I don't have any complaint against her but Ruby Tuesday- get some people in here!!! This is crazy!! I witnessed the staff tell incoming customers they might come back later and I don't blame them. I would rather have an honest assessment of the situation than for someone to tell me it will be a few minutes and it turns into an hour. I brought a guest here from out of town hoping to impress him and that was a terrible mistake. The saving grace- after the long wait, the food came out and tasted pretty good. The tots and smash burger were great. The fries could have been cooked a little longer and the "medium" cheeseburger was definitely on the rare side.

My husband and I felt the need for something "very filling" after a couple of hours shopping at Lowe's - we thought about Ruby Tuesday. We were greeted with a smile and seated within 10 minutes. We started the meal with stuffed mushrooms and chips/queso. The queso was just a bit luke-warm, so I sent it back and it was returned just right :o); the mushrooms were tasty. My husband had the salad bar, plus a bacon cheeseburger with a side of onion rings. He wasn't too impressed with his burger though. I ordered honey salmon over a bed of salad greens. A couple of add-on ingredients were missing from my salad when it was served, but not a big deal. I just went to the salad bar for the missing items. The salmon was pretty good. We were both very tempted to order dessert, but were stuffed and didn't want to take home any sweets. Our server was nice and very accommodating.
