The Melting Pot - University CityLove this PlaceThis was my third time here at the Melting Pot, and each time i come here, i feel very welcomed and love the experience, it is a very different experience from other restaurants, where else do you get to cook your entree on your table?!? Love this place, people say it is a little pricey, but i think every once and a while it is a nice night out. I took my mom for her mother's day present and she loved it!5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderfulHad a great time with my mother and sister. Everything was perfect and look forward to my next visit.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMBig Night OutI took my girlfriend here for her birthday, and finished the night by proposing to her (she said yes!).

However, if you don't have incredible service to match the food, the restaurant will be found wanting. Our waiter was.......INCREDIBLE! He presented to food well, explainded was the sauces were each used primarily for, and even brought me an extra cup of dark chocolate for my dessert.........wife likes milk chocolate.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMNight of RomanceFor our anniversary we decided to take a trip to the city, not knowing much about The Melting Pot we chose this for our romantic dinner getaway! We booked online made reservations for two and in the special requests asked for the anniversary or date night out package, which was INCREDIBLE! This place has the BEST service I've ever experience! We walked in and was automatically greeted with smiles had our choice of waiting at the bar or in the front. We waited only maybe 2 minutes before we were seated at an extravagant table! Champagne, roses, champagne glasses, picture frames, a very romantic private booth! We got to take all of this and more home with us! Four course meal you don't leave hungry! I would recommend to anyone!!5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMMelting potThis place is awesome every time I go, whether it be for special occasions or just a night out!5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGood experience!This is the type of restaurant that you will want to visit for a special occasion.

Had a great time.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMA Wonderful Experience!Every time I dine at The Melting Pot, I leave wishing that I could come back everyday! The staff is always friendly and courteous. The waitstaff is very knowledgeable about the menu items and has always been very helpful when answering any and all of my questions. I've always had a reservation, but from what I've seen, other peoples wait time to be seated has been very short. Last, but not least, the food is amazing! And the updated menu has made things even better! I highly recommend it!4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWe thoroughly enjoyed theWe thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the food.

The set up was cozy, the dimming of the lights were great.we had the 4 course menu and I would recommend it. The waiter was very helpful with making suggestions.food was delicious. The waiter even helped us carry our gifts to the car. The whole staff was friendly ,and prompt with filling glasses. Very romantic place, can't wait to go back.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMDouble date nightMe and my husband went for double date night with a couple that have never been there.

The entire experience was wonderful!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThe only possible downsideThe only possible downside that I could see with this restaurant would be that it takes about 2.5 hours to eat. It wasnt a big deal for us, but just plan to be there for a while.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMA FULL Experience, Great flavors!ABSOLUTELY fun and fantastic flavors of food that you get to prepare at your table. The servers are smart and fast and the flavors of food and sauces make this one of the most fun dinners out you can possibly have. It takes a while to get through a few courses, but the food, fun, conversation and flavors make this more than any meal in town... a full experience. Great for special occasions and older teens to older adults. Kids will get bored here. Good drinks and wine list, great cozy booths and tables make it feel somewhat private, so it's the perfect place to catch up with friends, family or a romantic dinner. For a chain, this St. Louis (Delmar Loop) location is outstanding. Parking in back is sometimes busy and the Loop area is fun.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was my first time toThis was my first time to the Melting Pot. Great restaurant. Expensive, but great. We went with the anniversary menu and we were not disappointed. Great place to go on a date or celebrate a special ocasion. My only complaint is that even with a reservation we still had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMThe 4 course EVENT makes forThe 4 course EVENT makes for a longer experience. I enjoy the extra time to visit with my friends and family.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMWife's New Fav SpotThis was our first experience at The Melting Pot. Didn't know what to expect, or really what to do. Our server, Jennifer, made the experience one that must be repeated. The food was exceptional. The experience was one that will soon not be forgotten. We had a quiet L-shaped booth made for two in the corner. It was very romantic, in a casual kind of way.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMI loved the place! We hadI loved the place! We had the four course meal. The spinach and artichoke fondue was very good. The salad was small but appetizing. The main course, the meats(there's a vegan selection and a gluten free menu upon request), were great! The burners on the table make for a fun evening. You cook your own meat in broth of your choice. We had the one with the red wine. It was ok. The sauces were a bit strange for my taste. The blue cheese one goes well with the mushroom tops! The chocolate fondue at the end was fabulous! We will def go back!3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a really nice time.We had a really nice time.
