My family and I have been here MANY times before! It's AMAZING FOOD EVERY-TIME! My favorites are the cheese and CHOCOLATE! I can't recall the exact ones but I know I've loved everyone I've tried! The Wisconsin cheddar is indeed my favorite though- reminds me of a home I used to have there! The service can be a bit slow at times but that's what makes the whole place work! The ambiance and atmosphere are just wonderful and makes you appreciate everything you have! PLUS the food is always a hit! #MyTribe #Family #TakeMeToTheMoon read more

Went out for a family dinner to celebrate a cancer free MRI and Dani was amazing! Super sweet & attentive, will be asking for her next time. Food was good and restaurant was clean. However, the ladies bathroom was lacking attention on a Saturday night. No TP for some stalls and paper towels all over the floor. read more

We came here for Mother's Day, and had a lovely experience. Maria was our server and was very kind and cheerful. Hard to say which course is the best, because they were all delicious. Would definitely come back here. read more

At least three of my friends have gone to The Melting Pot in recent times. Each time I read or hear about their experience, well, it's always fabulous and it makes me question why it's taken me years to return to this chain. Then I go back and remember, but I'll get to that eventually. It was Valentine's Day week and I knew I would be up in Tallahassee. I tried to coordinate a mini reunion and failed, so it just wound up being us two. I made the reservation a week or so in advance, even changing the reservation from one night to another no problem. When we went on a Sunday night, it was pretty busy. A lot of people were there to celebrate Valentine's Day, even though it had landed earlier that week. I mean, I can't blame them - we went and did the same. The fact that they kept advertising their packages only aided matters, although we are simple folk and just went for the food and company. We opted for the four-course meal, consisting of cheese fondue, salad, our entrees, and chocolate fondue. For the cheese fondue, I believe it was the Swiss alpine we chose, but I don't exactly remember. They brought us dippers and lots of bread and vegetables. Well, and apples. My companion found the apples weird, but apples and cheese made me grin. The ratio of fruits and vegetables to bread was in favor of the bread. More bread than anything else honestly. I had to quit eating this to have room for everything else because I knew lots more would come. Lots more came indeed in the form of salad, which surprisingly is the one thing you can order different from your companion as you're not sharing a pot. He had a Caesar salad I think minus some bacon bits, while I went for the California salad which had a sweet raspberry vinaigrette. From there, we chose a package for our entrees. I believe it was called Big Night Out and it brought chicken, filet mignon, teriyaki steak, shrimp, salmon, and mushroom ravioli. We then debated our cooking style for the pot. I immediately vetoed coq au vin as despite being a Francophile, I'm not a fan of this flavor. Last time I had it, well, I would have rather drunk the wine than eaten it. He bargained that I'd get to choose the chocolate fondue, so I agreed to bourguignon. I hesitate in saying he made a good choice because I may never hear the end of it if it gets back to him. That said, because my companion is a notorious seafood hater, I had to cook my shrimp last. I didn't bother with the salmon as I wanted room for dessert. That and I partook in practically everything else sans the mushroom ravioli. I left that for him. Finally we get to dessert and I chose the S'mores one. They set it aflame right in front of us and it was beautiful. Then, the platter with strawberries, bananas, Rice Krispies, and the like - wow! Except me having a craving I added macarons and I inhaled those, along with the strawberries. I wanted to have a marshmallow, but alas - it simply was too much, which is pretty much why I take breaks years in between these experiences. I love this chain to bits, but it's too much food for little ol' me and expensive for what it is to boot. My companion and I could've done this at home, but well, he indulged me and took me to The Melting Pot because sometimes you have to take one for the team. Anyhow, I'm glad he did because it made for a lovely evening. read more

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. read more

The Melting Pot - Fondue Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

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. read more

The Melting Pot - S'mores fondue (left), milk chocolate fondue (right) - Fondue Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Atmosphere is OK, very, very dark. My husband had to use his phone to light his menu so he could read it. We went celebrating out 29th anniversary at the recommendation of our 17 yr old son. You choose options in 4 courses. 1st cheese types with chopped vegs and fruits with many pieces of bread. They add several types of seasonings & chicken broth to melting pot and add add the shredded cheese of your choice and you dip your items in the cheese. 2nd is the salad, 4 types to choose from. 3rd is the type of entree like seafood, different meats and how you want to cook it, yes you cook it either if a broth (boiled) or grilled!! This takes a lot of time for all to cook their choices. 4th is a melted chocolate syrup with dipping items such as small cakes, brownies, marshmellows, fruits, etc. You can see from other's pictures the size of the food, it is all top quality and delicious. Service was very good. It's definitely an experience. We were there for 2 1/2 hours! The cost for 3 of us was $250, including tip. We will not return, for us it was outrageously overpriced. read more

The Melting Pot - Dessert for my birthday. - Fondue Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

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! read more

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!!!!! read more

The Melting Pot - Wisconsin Trio and Sunshine Sangria - Fondue Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I've been three times and the atmosphere has been spot on....good food...and customer service.

My wife and I went to The Melting Pot for a late Valentine's Day date. It was our first time trying out The Melting Pot, though it's been on our wishlist since arriving in Tallahassee over ten years ago. It was certainly not a let down and was even better than expected! Make sure to book reservations. We booked three days ahead. They were turning away anyone without a reservation. Our reservation ended up taking 2-1/2 hours so it made sense as to why they were limited! Our waiter was a super nice kid. Very attentive. Since it was our first time at The Melting Pot he talked us through the experience. We ordered the four course meal for two - cheese fondue, salad, entrees, and chocolate fondue. Cheese fondue: We ordered the Classic Alpine. It came with a variety of dippers - French bread, vegetables, and apples. 10/10 Salads: My wife will laugh at me, but the pine nuts in the Caesar salad were a unique highlight but with all of the tasty food ahead, this course didn't feel necessary. 7/10 Entrees: I ordered the Land & Sea and she ordered the Steak Lovers with the court bouillon. The entrees came with six different dipping sauces. The shrimp with the cocktail sauce was *chefs kiss*, but I have to say that the green goddess sauce was a perfect combo with just about everything. 8/10 Dessert: The Flaming Turtle was a great way to end the night. Our favorite dipper was the cocoa marshmallow. So yum. By the end of the night we were stuffed. 9/10. And... we forgot to take pictures. But overall it was a great night. We were seated just after 6:00 pm and got out of there around 8:30 pm. read more

We had looked forward to this for months as a reward for making it through major surgery, I had only had fondue a couple of times in my life and loved it, and always left full and happy. I've never been to this place but I wanted to! It was freezing. Bring a shawl or jacket (or hell, a duvet) but no problem right? The waiter did an awful job with the cheese and literally splashed molten cheddar across my cream colored blouse. My husband helped me to blot it (it stained anyway) but I was alright, not burned and tried to enjoy the cheese with bread (are the bread chunks supposed to be croutonlike?) and when the entree oil pot was brought and the combo plates were brought I couldn't believe how little the portions actually were. It felt like a tasting menu, a couple of pieces from each type of meat or chicken and it tasted freezer burnt. We left hungry. Y'all let me down. read more

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! read more

I know it's a chain restaurant BUT I love this location. The service is always wonderful and attentive. This was my first time with a child in tow. I've spent many date nights here in the past but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the Melting Pot has a kids menu! That being said, my 5 year old wanted nothing to do with fondue but he loved the anti pasto appetizer. Kind of wish they offered a grilled cheese sandwich at least but hey it's a start. You have to do cheese and chocolate here. We opted to share an entree and I believe that was a wise decision. That way we had more opportunity for cheesy deliciousness and chocolate dipped everything. The coqu a vin broth option was wonderful. I know Tallahassee has so many wonderful dinner options, especially for a special night out however this Melting Pot location never disappoints! read more

Cheese Fondue is great the Chocolate Fondue is great and the sweet tea is great great place to eat

honestly, this is one of my wife's favorite places to go. We go here for her birthday every year. For me, it's a huge waste of money as if I wanted to cook my own food I would just stay at home. I will say that the desert chocolate fondue is incredible and the service is always top-notch. Everyone is so friendly, it's expensive so be sure to break out the pocketbook as he won't get out of there for less than $100 read more

One of the most surprisingly gluten-free friendly places in Tallahassee, I have yet to be disappointed with the quality of food or service here. Have I eaten at better Melting Pot locations? Yes. But this might be one of the best restaurants in Tallahassee. It's great for a date night or to celebrate. read more

I was there tonight dining and our server was absolutely amazing! However the table in-front of us had a issue with their card working for a moment and instead of the server they had being professional waiting for them to get the card or finding out a different payment source to work he raised his voice for the whole restaurant to hear and went to the back complaining to his coworkers about a tip saying exactly "broke people shouldn't come to a place knowing they can't pay" so i ended up paying for the table and told the management that was working how unprofessional that is in such a nice dining place they continued to tell us after we paid for someone else's meal that we couldn't finish ours and to leave. Horrible first experience do not recommend unless you want college kids being disrespectful to you or someone around you and getting away with it ! read more

So The Melting Pot has been on my list of places to go for a long time now, but I've never had anyone to go with until recently. I've also never been to a fondue place, so I was excited to try it for my first time. I went on a Friday evening with a group of friends, and we all got the full course. I got the house salad, which was quite good. Simple, but good. For our cheese, we got the Bacon and Gorgonzola. I was not disappointed. Very very good with the breads, fruits, and vegetables that they give you. It was thick and creamy, and had slightly tang to it, and stuck to the dipping items quite nicely. The only reason I'm giving this place a 4 instead of 5 is because the main course wasn't as great as I was hoping it'd be. It's good, but not great for the price. I ordered the classic, so it came with a variety of things like sirloin and shrimp. I also ordered a side of salmon to go with it. In my opinion, the salmon was the best thing there. Very tender, and it maintained a very fresh taste and feel. Dipping that in the various sauces was close to perfect. Side note, when cooking your things with a group of people, go about 30 seconds to a minute longer than they tell you in the pot or else it could still be raw in the middle. For dessert, we got the flaming turtle. Excellent. The flaming part was also pretty cool at the beginning. The chocolate fondue mixture did not disappoint. It was easily my favorite part of the meal. I also ordered a side cheesecake slice. It had a chocolate crust with chocolate raspberry filling. Also delicious. I was only able to get decently full after ordering the extra stuff that I did, so I was a little surprised at the portion sizes. However I can eat a lot, so I guess in reality it's normal. As everyone knows, this place is pretty pricey. I paid $61 before tipping, and I only ordered 2 extra side items. Definitely a special occasion location only. The staff was pretty great though. Very involved with the table and personal, which we all appreciated. I'll definitely try to go back, but it'll be awhile. read more

Melting Pot is definitely an experience. The 4 course entré is about $50 but it includes cheese, your protein of choice, a salad, and chocolate. The only bad thing is the whole table has to agree on the same cheese and chocolate. The lobster was amazing but you have to ask for the butter sauce to go with it. I also feel the Gorgonzola sauce really pairs well with the filet minion! The chocolate I think is the best is the marshmallow cream with Oreo cookie crumbles! Ask for Melaina as your server and you won't be disappointed! read more

I've always wanted to try The Melting Pot, but the closest one to me is in Tallahassee, Florida, which is an hour and a half drive. My 2 year anniversary was the perfect excuse to get away from town and splurge a little bit! We made reservations for 6pm and were seated immediately. I had asked for a private spot and they put us all the way in the back in a dark, cozy corner...perfect! Our waitress was super sweet and very helpful. She was lovely and had a beautiful accent...possibly Romanian or Ukrainian? I believe her name was Gia or Cia? (Management, if you'll comment, I'll correct her name) We started with a few drinks. I had the Tipsy Turtle and my other half had some kind of whiskey on the rocks. You definitely got your money's worth with the alcohol! We ordered the "Bigger Night Out" meal for $102. It came with a LOT of food...2 kinds of steak, wild mushroom pasta, herb crusted chicken, salmon, shrimp, potatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms! It was delicious and we ate every bit of it!!! We were about ready to be rolled out of there when the dessert fondue came. I picked the turtle and it was dreamy! The dippers were extremely plentiful. It came with 2 kinds of marshmallows, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, rice krispy treats, pound cake, bananas, pineapple, and strawberries...WOW!!!! If I HAVE to come up with one complaint, it was that my tropical drink wasn't as fruity and sweet as I like, but it was definitely strong. I could have easily asked for a little bit of juice to add to it and it would have been perfect! We ended up walking out of there with a bill of $177.00. That was the meal, the 2 drinks, and a very generous tip. We will most definitely be back, and maybe bring the kids this time!!! read more

I came to Tallahassee to spend my birthday with my son and his g/f. Made reservations about a month ago because I wanted to make sure we could get a table during my stay. We had a wonderful dinner! My son and I had been to the Melting Pot before but this was g/f first time. She was very impressed. we started off with the cheddar cheese fondue and had a variety of tasty morsels.......but I think my favorite was the tart green apple slices. Then we got the salads. I had the California.....delicious. My son had the cheddar wedge and g/f had the Caesar. The salads were fresh And very good. But I have to agree with another reviewer who said this course is probably not necessary......and then we chose the coq au vin cooking style and enjoyed the main course.Also have to agree with the other reviewer who raved about the green goddess sauce. I would like to add that the sweet and sour sauce was especially delicious with the duck and the pork.... We had a few morsels left over so we cooked them up and g/f was able to bring home to her dog for a tasty treat. We ended our dinner with the flaming turtle......with the nuts on the side. I loved the pound cake and coconut marshmallows. G/f loved the cookies and my son loved everything. all in all it was a great experience. Takes about two and a half hours so don't make your reservations too late! Oh and I have to give a shout out to Michael at the bar and Sarah, our server. Everyone was very nice. Oh.....and to the person who made my little birthday surprise. very pretty and tasty too! read more

Beautiful interior, fun experience, amazing food a service. A little pricey but definitely worth every penny

After growing up hearing so much about the melting pot, I finally got to experience it for myself. It was obvious that everyone loves the cheese fondue, and that's pretty much the only think I knew about the melting pot. The menu itself was kinda confusing, I wasn't sure what or how to order because I felt like it wasn't explained well and the waiter was really nice but not too helpful. We chose to do the four course experience which came with a cheese fondue appetizer, your choice of salad, your selection of 3 proteins, and a chocolate fondue dessert. There's only one pot in the middle of the table, so you have to agree on a cheese fondue. Me and my boyfriend decided on the most ordered cheese which was the Wisconsin cheddar. The coolest part was that the waitress came out and made the fondue in front of us in our pot- we watched as the garlic, spices, cheese and beer transformed into a mouthwatering cheese fondue. The cheese is served with bottomless pieces of bread, Granny Smith apples (which was surprisingly my favorite to dip), and raw vegetables. The cheese pot was then replaced with a pot of some sort of broth (you get to choose which one you want) so we could cook our entrees. My salmon, shrimp, and mushroom ravioli came raw and I got to cook it myself which was really cool! The entree was also served with a bunch of sauces which were all so good. Finally, the chocolate fondue was debatably the best part. We chose the s'mores which was milk chocolate mixed with marshmallow fluff and graham crackers. It was served with fruits, brownies, and marshmallows. Overall, the food was pretty expensive despite it being college night which meant discounts for us broke college students. The specials were $5 off each 4 course meal, $6 cheese/chocolate fondue, and an extended happy hour. If I do return it's going to be for a special occasion. The melting pot is definitely somewhere everyone should experience at least once. read more

Tastefully decorated with an intimate ambience I have always loved The Melting Pot for special occasions, this was a belated birthday celebration. Although things were probably not that much different than before, I think I'm past that phase in my life where boiled fillet does it for me, a major reason I knocked off a star. The cheese fondue is always my favorite part, it was too thick to start off with but our server was happy to thin it out. The menu is now also available à la carte which makes it more expensive but I usually never made it through the desert so this actually kept our tab down. Their full course menu price was $$$. The $22 cheese fondue was an OUCH! We also ordered the steak, shrimp, chicken combo, our server was happy to swap chicken out for shrimp. They were busy for a weeknight and our server did a great job keeping up but at the end of the day, they simply needed more help. What restaurant doesn't these days?! The fillet wasn't butchered properly, one piece should have been cut into 3 smaller pieces...small mistakes like that that kept us waiting and for the money I'd prefer things go smoother. I think it's a fun place for kids to have a grown-up experience. Nice for young people getting to know each other over dinner. read more

Good for a special event, when price constraints can be ignored. What's best about The Melting Pot is that it provides a fun venue. We wanted to re-create favorable experiences when we introduced our daughters to fondue in the early 1980's. We were delighted to be able to order the original mushroom salad, even though it was no longer on the menu. The grandchildren loved the experience, particularly the chocolate fondue. (This isn't a criticism, but I make better cheese fondue.) read more

What a fun place for dinner! If you've got a date or just want to savor your meal and catch up with some friends or family, this is the spot to do it. The food is delicious, I mean, who isn't a fan of food dipped in cheese and chocolate? There's plenty of options too, so you should be able to find a few things that your party can agree on! The atmosphere is nice, every table feels secluded so you can enjoy you time with your group. The food is definitely on the pricey side, but so delicious and worth it! Ladies! Make sure to grab your girlfriends and go on the last Wednesday or Thursday of the month! They typically do a $25 3-course special for ladies night, so it's a price you can't beat! And college kids! Wednesday's they have deals on cheese and chocolate! If you've got a special event coming up or just want a few hours to talk and enjoy some delicious food, definitely visit the melting pot! read more

I went last night with some friends for the first time and I was disappointed. To start with the server we had named "Kate" was horrible and she was not very friendly. She quickly asked our order did not make any effort to make our dining experience pleasurable. Then when it came to the dippers and the cheese fondue, the bread was stale and the cheese fondue was all chunky because the server Kate did not prepare it properly. To skip to the dessert portion, I will say the milk chocolate dip was good but the items given to dip in it were subpar. The marshmallows were not soft and overall it was not a good meal or experience. read more
