    Such a wonderful, unique experience. Allows lots of time to talk and no cell phones. Food was excellent, along with the service. Would highly recommend.

    Amazing experience as always. The waiter was friendly and helped us with our decisions. We had 3 kids in tow, but the waiter was amazing with them and made sure they were having a good time

    Our server told us there was no green goddess prepared. It was literally liquid like water. I asked twice if there was any that was ready (not sure she even checked). It looked like it was missing an ingredient. She said it didn’t “freeze” in time. I thought it was sour cream, cream cheese, and chives? We LOVE this restaurant but this visit was a bit disappointing for a Mother’s Day visit.

    Usually have a great experience at Melting Pot, we went the Friday before Mothers Day and it was packed. Not sure if the restaurant was understaffed. Food took at least and hour longer usual and we had to skip out on most of dessert because we had been there almost 3 1/2 hours and had to get back home to our kids.

    Spent over 200 dollars for my families Easter dinner. They got most if not everything wrong completely. Lighten was bad We had a new-ish server that didn't spend time with us. Waited on drinks / food service the whole time Just an overall disappointment for the price and my family.
