The Melting Pot - AlbuquerqueGreat customer serviceI heard nothing but great things & was really impressed. Great atmosphere, friendly staff & excellent service. Can't wait to dine again for our upcoming anniversary in August.
Our server was AMAZING. The only thing that we weren't expecting was that you were out of duck & nothing was day said until the main course was served. It was replaced with filet. My husband is a restaurant General Manager & what we had discussed on the car ride home that night is that it should've been mentioned prior. Other than that everything else was great.6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMBest food I've had in a long time!I felt like I was in heaven with each delicious bite I took. The experience was amazing and highly memorable. If you go, give yourself about 3 hours to enjoy the 4-course menu. I can't wait to go back again!6/10/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesomeWe had an awesome experience. The food was great and had a wonderful waitress. Will definitely be back.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMExperienceWe enjoyed our dinner experience at the Melting Pot.6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMRelaxing FunGreat way to eat slowly. Too much food. Better to give less food and lower prices6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMA Great ExperienceWe've gone to the Melting Pot before but only thought of it as a special occasion restaurant and enjoyed our experience. However, they are now offering an ala carte menu per person so there are many more options. This added versatility is a real plus! The fondues and their accompaniments were all delicious as were the salads. The wait staff were very capable and well informed and couldn't have been more helpful. Enjoy!6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMMiss the old feel.....Eating at the new uptown location was still nice, and the food was delicious as usual. However, it left us missing the cozy, warm feel of the old downtown location. The dining room was a bit noisy and hectic.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMUnique dining experience withUnique dining experience with great food and wonderful desserts.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMVery expensive for ABQ, butVery expensive for ABQ, but it is delicious and a nice night out for special occasions5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMFun experienceThis is a great place to go for a special occasion, definitely not a place for young children. The food was great, just wish our server was a little quicker to attend to our table and move in to the next course.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMGreatest birthday!!The Melting Pot was a wonderful place for my birthday celebration. They accommodated my larger party and allowed us to have an excellent evening. Even for a party of nine, they did great!! The service was amazing and the food was wonderful.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday dinnerHad really great service thanks to Logan. Especially when he had already put the order in for my strawberries when I had forgotten about mentioning them.5/20/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time dining at the MeltingFirst time dining at the Melting Pot.

I went there for mine and my boyfriend's one year and it was the perfect place to celebrate5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing!You guys were awesome. I really loved the food and the environment there. It was so fun being able to dip my own food in whatever I wanted. Dinner was fun and delicious!5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ExperienceZach was our waiter. (I believe that was his name) He was fantastic. The kicker was we made a reservation for our son's graduation dinner. The table next to us had done the same but hadn't told you guys it was a graduation so when they say our son's table piece they commented about it and our waiter overheard them and brought them one immediately! So cool! Also my son loved a card with his name on it!Thank you so much for making a great day better!5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's DayAlthough melting pot is expensive it has amazing food, environment , and service. Nothing beats fine dining like the melting pot.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMTasty and differentIf you've never done fondue, then this should be a treat. But beware, you have to work for your meal. Provided with fondue forks and a healthy appetite, you can navigate through cheese fondue, entrée fondue (meats and seafood) or dessert fondue. All are good, but may be a lot of food for those with smaller appetites. We went on a holiday, so there was a limited menu of four courses. During other times, you can select which courses you want, so (for example) you could get just cheese fondue and dessert fondue, or some other combination. The atmosphere is pretty private due to the layout of the tables, and the servers we've had are all very well trained and friendly. It can be a little pricey, so we reserve this venue for special occasions.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMothers Day DiningWe love going to the Melting Pot and will continue going there for years to come! While we prefer the one on one dining in the more quiet "lovers lane", the experience is ok in general/family seating as well. This visit we took the whole family. Its a bit more noisy and the service isn't quiet as personal but it was still a great experience overall. Next time will definitely have to be a date for just my wife and I.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMThe atmosphere was great.The atmosphere was great. The room we were in was quiet which was awesome considering it is really hard to find a quiet restaurant in town. My dad is hard of hearing so it get frustrating when music is blaring etc. the food was good and fun to make. The service was pretty bad though. Our waiter couldnt keep our meals straight. we had 6 of us... write down our order! They had no beer on tap and their drinks were expensive.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMPricey but...It was our 3 year anniversary and we were both super excited having never been there. The day was very fun and over all a great time but not something we could do all the time. The cheese was really good and the chocolate but dinner was not my favorite. I love shrimp and that was the only thing I liked. The streak and chicken were not my favorite and my boyfriend agreed. We both agreed we probably wouldn't go back for dinner maybe just appetizer's and dessert. I recommend it as special occasion place or date night but it took us 2 and half hours so keep that in mind. Given The dinner I would still recommend it the experience was really neat and something everyone should try at least once. I also think it would be a great girl's day place.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always greatI love the new location. Great atmosphere. Food is still excellent.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWE WILL BE BACKThis is a great time. Excellent wine choices. We could just talk to each other without interruption! The food was prepped excellently. They take very good care of you.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMRomantic eveningI took my wife for our anniversary and it was a great evening. It was her first time and see loved it .

Great time and a perfect restaurant for the occasion!4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMYou might think I sound like a chubIt was a busy night and the staff seemed a bit on the fluttered side. The booths were a bit more compact that I would have expected, but overall, it provided an intimate setting - which is what I was looking for. Melted cheese and melting chocolate, amazing. I just wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger. You might think I sound like a chubby guy, but I am just a foodie with a large appetite! Great for special dates, but not a place you want to go if you are feeling like a hearty meal. :)4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time at the Melting-Pot'sFirst time at the Melting-Pot's location uptown. We were seated in a nice private table, very quiet, great for conversation. Service was very good although given the type of meal (fondue) don't expect to be out in under a couple of hours. More entrée choices then I remember and all we ordered were very good. Also the menu choices provided more flexibility then before. Overall a very enjoyable dinner.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMThe staff was friendly andThe staff was friendly and helpful. The manager comped our first round of drinks for our anniversary which was very nice.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband hadn't yet beenMy husband hadn't yet been to a fondue restaurant. I had been to my first Melting pot about 15 years ago in Seattle. I always remember this fun experience. We delighted ourselves in three courses: cheese, steak and chocolate! Out waiter and the other staff members were very friendly, helping us enjoy it more. Of course, the meal took about 2 hours, which I don't mind except it's difficult to sit for that long. We are looking forward to bring friends with us next time. I would also like to try the bar, where it's a little more open and it has lots of windows. It would be fun just to go for wine and dessert.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a nice night - theyAlways a nice night - they know how to do fondue right!!4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMLove it and so will you.I loved the place!!!!! The food was amazing and the service was just a good. Although be very careful on your choice of cheese pot. The best thing is to ask your waiter or waitress for advice on your choice if you have never been to a fandue restaurant.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWe ate there on Easter andWe ate there on Easter and had a wonderful meal and experience. The staff were friendly and professional. The best, just as we knew it would be.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food mediocre serviceWe are usually here about three times per year and every time the service is good expect for the last time we waited 30 minutes for our first course. Overall the experience was okay.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Friday night out! BrianGreat Friday night out! Brian our waiter was wonderful, new menu set up is great. Over all a fabulous time!!3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and service wereThe food and service were both excellent. We will most definitely be returning on a more regular basis!3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMImproved PerfectionAwesome, we always enjoyed the experience at the Melting Pot....including the food and service as a totally complete package that complemented itself, but the new menu changes are definitely the best way to improve an already perfect product. The new changes offer new variety and total flexibility.....way to go!3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWaiter did a nice job. MenuWaiter did a nice job. Menu appears to have more variety than previously.3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMTake the time to treat yourselfI had the pleasure of eating here for my anniversary. Since my husband was out of town I took my adult daughter and a friend. The food was delicious and there was a wide variety of options. The food was only outshined by the social aspect. Since you are waiting a couple of minutes for your food to cook, it leaves plenty of time to visit with friends. I enjoyed the social opportunities between the yummy morsels. We have already made plans to go back...just us girls. If you are not patient enough to enjoy the relaxed flow of the meal this may not be for you. I also would not reccomend it for young children as there is a hot surface in the middle of the table.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMOur start was a bit roughOur start was a bit rough with the manager being a bit snappy but eventually he came to our table, visited and bought our son a drink for his birthday. The food was perfect, the server made some great suggestions and no one felt rushed. We spent at least three hours there. The Melting Pot is a great place for a celebration dinner!3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWe celebrated Valentine'sWe celebrated Valentine's Day, my birthday & our anniversary it was perfect! Thank you!3/9/2013 12:00:00 AM
