We went to the Melting Pot for the first time last Friday. Our waiter was so patient and kind with our party of 4. We had the 4 course experience. He explained everything as many times as we had questions. It was such a fun and interactive experience and enjoyed all the yummy fondue both savory and sweet.

The environment and atmosphere of this location were absolutely beautiful. I met a friend for dinner, I got the vegan fondue and the gluten free breads&veggies to dip. We both loved everything, especially the mocktails! Shout out to Shauna who made our visit that much more enjoyable, we will definitely be back!

The service was amazing. The server went above and beyond to be both efficient and quick as possible to ensure my date was memorable. I never had to ask for nothing it was like they knew exactly what I needed when I needed it. Definitely a place I would recommend for that special night out to show your better half how special they are to you.

We had such a good time. Place looks really nice dark interior in a building constructed in 1913 in great shape. We started with the Alpine cheese, fondue, followed by salad, and then the dark chocolate. Amazing taste, loved the cheese. Charles was our waiter and you did an amazing job. We’re gonna go there every other month for our date night!

Enjoyed a celebration package with our group of friends! Experience was amazing from the moment we arrived with Valet Parking. All courses were delicious as anticipated! Our waiters were fantastic!!! Totally accommodating to allergies, dietary needs, and our extra requests. From the moment we entered the private party room it was fantastic. Balloons and Roses adorned the table for our besties birthday celebration. Food was so delicious and timely we forgot to take pictures of the salads, and entree but it was seriously such a great time! Never a dull moment between courses. Devin was our waiter and he was ABSOLUTELY amazing! We even requested a photo with him! (We also had another amazing waiter, but I forgot to ask his name. ) Can’t wait to visit again!

I used to go to the Melting Pot in a different state, and it was a beloved yearly tradition around Christmastime that I have missed. I live far from this location, so this was a special treat to celebrate an important event for me. Our server, Alonzo, was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make my celebration special! The food was just as wonderful as I remembered it, too. A perfect evening reliving fond memories—thank you, Melting Pot!
