   I was so happy to have you re-open! I love the Melting Pot and have had so many great memories created around the table. I brought my daughter and grandchildren this time and they loved it too!

   We had dinner reservations (family of 5) at 6:15pm on April 26th. The restaurant had just opened recently on April 9th. Service was extremely slow, even when the restaurant wasn't very crowded. Became even slower when the restaurant received more customers. We didn't leave until 9:00pm. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable at least. Maybe the restaurant is tailored for people who likes a long dinners. Definitely not for anyone who may already have scheduled plans for after dinner. Value wise, too expensive for the experience of fondue if anyone's never done it before. You can do Korean Hot Pot and it's all you can eat for half the price.

   Service was definitely lacking but it's still a new location so we'll try again after they've been open longer. Food was good as always at other locations I've been to. .

   Savannah was our server and we had an amazing experience. It was my partner’s birthday and we felt so special! For only being open a couple weeks the service, food, and overall vibe is just amazing! We will be back!

   Food, drinks and service were very good . We just don't understand why every new restaurant in Down town st Pete has to have the music so loud that we cannot talk to each other ,or the server for that matter.

   So happy to see a Melting Pot close to us again. It was a sad day when they closed the one on 4th. When I got the email from them that 4/11 was national cheese fondue day and they were having a special grande cru cheese during April for their anniversary we had to go! Made the reservation n OpenTable then headed down. So the lace is very modern. The inside / outside bar was nice. Will definitely be back for the happy hour which we didn’t even know they had till we got there. Happy hour 3-6 was not advertised on their site. Got a table by the window since it was so nice. Definitely brighter than other melting pots, especially the one on 4th where it was so dark. Because of that and the loudness it was so much less intimate. The loudness was really annoying. Even our servers had to yell. Pretty much the same menu with a few extras. We both got the 4 course the picked different proteins so we could try each others. Didn’t like that we had to order everything all at once but I guess you should know what courses you want right? Come to find out the Grande Cru cheese was not available. Still not totally sure why. Everyone seemed to not know what i was talking about. I showed them my email from them. We tried the cheddar bacon and whiskey. Very tasty but never melted enough for a good fonduey consistency. Like they needed to add a little cream. A new item are the side kicks. These are toppings to put on the cheese and desserts. Neat option. Hang on to what you don’t finish after the cheese, they are great on the proteins too! Savanah our server was a rockstar. I would give her 5 stars. She handle everything professional and took our displeasure about the things I mentioned above in stride. Because we have had so many great experiences at melting pots our expectations were high but we were a little disappointed. The loudness, not getting the special cheese and lack of intimacy was a let down. This is there first week so I am sure it will get better. Would hav

   Opening night this location is brighter than most other locations. I’m happy to hear this is a test Kitchen. Yes , being it was the first night of this location they will need to work out the kinks. Everyone working went over and beyond to take care of my husband and I . We had our first date 30 years ago at the Tampa location. Since then we have been to many locations and always leave full and happy. We traveled to Zurich and tried their fondue and we both agreed this is our favorite fondue and now we don’t have to go far to enjoy. We wish this location much success! Also we did miss the blue cheese dipping sauce and the Pineapple with the chocolate but also enjoyed the new grapes and broccoli with our cheese.

    Horrible service, they did not plan accordingly for their 1st night. Waited over 1 hour for a chocolate fondue. Manager did not care and seemed useless and we left before the chocolate came out and they still charged us for it! SMH melting pot is better than that.
