The Melting Pot - GaithersburgReviewThe experience was lovely as usual. We go there as often as possible. The seating being private is a big reason and how every course is spaced out we never feel rushed like in other restaurants. Only thing negative about our experience was the waiter came to our table once chewing food. It wasn't a big deal but was slightly off putting because in a restaurant you don't know if they are eating someone's food or not. As well as having to wait for them to finish chewing so they can speak. But overall we enjoy your restaurant.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMNice experienceWE TOOK A FRIEND TO DINNER FOR HIS 60th birthday...my husband and I go a few times a year and thought he would enjoy the experience. He loved it! A very nice evening!6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Food....Service a little slowThe hostess was friendly and we did not have to wait long. Unfortunately we had to wait until after the first course for our drinks. The server said the bar was backed up.
Our server was friendly but it seemed that our table was his last priority. We waited for at least 10 minutes for the cheese fondue. I've been there before and it has never taken that long even when busier....and like I said there was only a few others there at the time and only 2 in my party.
After the main course we waited awhile for the server to come back to order dessert. I ordered coffee, by the time it came we were done eating already.
Definitely longer than usual. The staff was extremely friendly albeit a little inattentive.6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time FoundueThis was my first experience with a fondue restaurant and being that I like to cook at home and for friends on occasion I thought this was a great place and wish that there was one closer to where I live. Gaithersburg or Harrisburg were the choices, but it's always nice just to get out of town and try new things. It was a great night dining with my lady!6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMawesome dinnerWe were sitted right away. The server was very nice and helpful in choosing dishes. Would definitely try thr fiesta cheese fondue if you like a little spicy and the S' more dessert is to die for!6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWedding AnniversaryThis was the second year in a row that we went to Melting Pot for our anniversary. It is a fun place to cook your food and enjoy the company. You can not rush out of their and it takes time to cook the food. It is fun and it makes the evening more enjoyable. The desert is the best part. Yummy!5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday treatWe enjoyed personalizing our fondue experience. We were glad to skip the salad course, and got extra veggies for fondue. We had a wonderful time, and our waiter was fantastic.5/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ExperienceGood food served in a very interesting way. Enjoyed all 4 courses in the romantic personal setting.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMA melting Mother's DayItook my wife out for Mother's at the Melting Pot. It had been several years since we were last there. I'd almost forgotten how much fun and edjoyabe a fondue meal can be. It is a great place to go for a special occasion .5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day LunchI took my mom here for their special Mother's Day Menu. They had a different cheese option that wasn't normally offered...yum!!!! The meat selection were ok, but the chicken was over-seasoned and the pork tasted odd. The chocolate, as always was superb!!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMI had a great time with myI had a great time with my mom and family when we went here. Food was great, prices were reasonable, and there was a lot of privacy at the table we were sitting at. I would recommend this restaurant to a friend.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAvoid family holidaysKids are not a treat here, they are more of a nuscance.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMfantasticWe went as a group, to celebrate mother's day. There was eight of us. We decided that from now on, this is our tradition! Food was great and service was even better!!5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Food, even BETTER ServiceI took my mom out for her first Melting Pot experience and she had a blast. Our server, Sara, was AH-MAZING... super cute, very personable, knowledgable and very sweet. We were using a Living Social deal and she did not get any sort of attitude that I have experienced in the past when using deals at other restaurants.
The food was a little salty but very good. B/c it was a Living Social deal, we were required to get a specific 4 course option. It was excellent and the lobster was amazing! :-)5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMVery AccommodatingServer was very attentive and manager turned down the loud music for us. There was some confusion over our livingsocial coupon so I would recommend giving it to your server before ordering.
Be careful of up charges when you have two pots at the table.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMLeisurely mealIf you want to go somewhere where you are never ruched and you have time to digest your food this is it! I have been here many times and always love it.You will too!5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAbove and BeyondThe staff at The Melting Pot went above and beyond to accommodate all the requests of my group. I was arranging a surprise gathering, and they went out of their way to help set things up so the guest of honor would be surprised. (They went so far as to turn the lights off in the room where we would be—since there was no one else in there yet—so that when we arrived the guests were able to yell "Surprise!" as the lights went on!) The food was marvelous as usual, and the atmosphere was lovely and jovial. The Melting Pot is one of my favorite restaurants for many reasons, and I highly recommend it for romantic evenings, quality time with someone whose company one enjoys, or fun group outings.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMServiceOur server was AMAZING. It was our first time at this restaurant and he was extremely helpful explaining the procedure. He was also very attentive without rushing or crowding us. A special touch was having the manager visit our table and ask how we were doing.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat NightThe food was wonderful. Our waiter did a great job at making sure we had what we needed. I used a Living Social deal which was a great value. The Melting Pot also has Ladies Night on one Thursday a month. This is a great time to try this place and a good value as well.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMFunThis is a fun restaurant when you don't feel like the same old thing. Just be prepared to dine and not eat and run. Great for special celebrations...birthdays - kids love it too!4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMFun Night Out with FriendsOffered different options, our waitress was very knowledgeable of all options and helped us decide on which would work best for our group. I plan on going again in the near future.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat as ever.Melting Pot is the place we go when we want a special meal. It was the server's first day on the job and not only did he do well but another server was nearby every second to make sure we got treated right. They've recently changed their menu and everything is pretty much a la carte now instead of the old "Big Night Out" menu-for-two. We actually liked the new menu better, we got a greater variety of food. Goes without saying we'll be back... over and over again.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Melting pot in gaithersburgThe Melting pot in gaithersburg is a restaurant I regularly (every 3-4 months) eat at. this time we had lobster with our dinner and it was surprisingly good.

We try to dine here as often as we can as the environment and food are always top notch. We have never had a bad experience. We have had the pleasure of having repeat servers which is great because while they may not remember us from a past dining experience, the professionalism they exude and the service they provide is never sub-par. I will continue to eat here and strongly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or just to have a special night out.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMvery nice experience but toovery nice experience but too expensive except for special occasions3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMWe love the new menu selections!We love the new menu selections!
