The Melting Pot - PoughkeepsieGood experience overall. AGood experience overall. A bit pricey considering that the actual meal provided (1) isn't prepared by a chef and (2) doesn't have a lot of high-end ingredients, but to the defense of the restaurant, the average meal takes at least twice as long to consume so that the restaurant must compensate for a lower turnover of customers.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMA fun night3 friends from work went there...

The server was very friendly and knowledgeable, but seemed a little robotic, and a little forgetful.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMEven A Bodybuilder Can Eat Here!I was very skeptical about the whole fondue aspect of dining. I thought it was all about cheeses and desserts, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I was able to actually eat. I am a competitive fitness/figure competitor and am constantly on a strict diet, so i wasn't sure how much I would be able to eat at the restaurant. I was able to snack on veggies during the first course (without cheese of course), i had a salad for the second course, and was able to have all my protein (shrimp, fish, and chicken) with some more veggies. The only thing I couldn't divulge in was the delicious looking dessert (I'll make sure that when I get a break from my diet I go back to The Melting Pot to enjoy it). Overall it was a fabulous experience.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMHad been to other locations,Had been to other locations, this one was just as nice for being in a mall.

I explained in my online reservation that I wanted them to make it special for my friend, as it was his birthday. When we arrived, the hostess wished him a happy birthday AND when we got our dessert, a sundae with a candle was brought to our table. My friend also received a chocolate covered strawberry and a plate with "Happy Birthday" written on it in chocolate. Our waiter was accommodating without being clingy. It was a great experience.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMno servicewaitress was a nightmare waited for her for everything waited 25 mins to get a soda refill seemed we waiting for her all night long we saw her 5 times total during a 2+ hr visit. stood up a few times to see if she was near around something to ask her for another drink its like she came took the order, came dropped of the items and was never seen again, i have been to other melting pot locations this one was one i most likley wont visit again service was just not there at all3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband and I LOVE theMy husband and I LOVE the Melting Pot in Poughkeepsie!
