Everyone from hostess to bus person were thoughtful, friendly approachable. All excellent qualities. Even the manager checked in to make sure all was well. One of my favorite places to go

Wonderful time. Tge food is delicious. I would remind the restaurant to keep that great clam chowder hot when served!

I highly recommend The Melting Pot for a unique event with an incredible dining experience. The blackberry margarita was delicious. We had the four course menu, and neither it nor our server disappointed. For us (a retired couple on a fixed income), it was pricey, but since we were celebrating 55 years of marriage, it was worth it. And there’s a convenient parking garage a half block away. My only caveat was for the special romantic event we paid extra for. Apparently the only seating for this (we saw three other couples in the same seating area) was back by the kitchen, with waiters going back and forth and calling out to each other to avoid accidents with hot pots. It was less than conducive for a romantic celebration. Otherwise, everything was superb.

Great service, delicious cocktails & food (roasted chicken; Steak Frites, potato medley, parm fries; creme brulee'). Noise level started out as "quiet and came to a moderate level by the time we left to get to our show. Very pleasant atmosphere, although we probably would have preferred to not hear some of the conversation coming from the cooks in the kitchen, given what was being said. Might be important to remind the cooks that guests in the dining room can hear them. . .
