I invited new acquaintances that had not been to the Melting Pot. Waiter let the pot burn after which the manager pressured me into giving the waiter a tip. All of us at our table smelled like smoke and I was wearing a new dress. When I commented about that the manager asked me to relax in a most condescending manner. Both my guests declined staying for dessert and indicated they would not return.

One of my most frequented restaurants in Madison and it’s because not only is the food outstanding but the customer service and the ambiance is exactly what I want on a night out. During my birthday month alone I usually visit 3-4 times with different parties. The owners truly care about their staff, their customers and take pride in their restaurant and it shows. I have had the pleasure of being a regular customer here for many years and bring all of my friends and family and introduce them to the fun world of fondue because it’s worth sharing… plus that means I can come more often. Highly recommend, the menu options are plentiful and there is something for everyone.

Celebrated #BFFF night out with my aunt. Sat in Lover's Lane and it was quiet. Food was tiptop, especially the enhanced dippers included in the BFFF option (cream puffs and macarons!) Seville, our server, was stellar; So kind, funny, and he positively accentuated our experience. Assistant Mgr, Ethan, came to our table to check in and he was friendly and personable. I'd go there again in a heartbeat. <3

We brought my mom here for Mother's Day. I am a server as well at a different restaurant and I was not impressed with the service for what we paid and had to tip her. She was very sweet but seemed to struggle to know any items on the Mother's Day menu. She also really struggled to be prompt in bringing out courses with an adequate amount of time (way too much time in between) as well as our bill. What should have taken 1.5-2 hours took 3 hours of our day and I was very sad we had to give her 20% when I didn't feel she deserved it. I do understand that it's a busy day for servers but we were the first table to be seated all day and were there for 3 hours. Very ridiculous. We are happy, returning customers and this has been the worst experience we've had there thus far.
The Melting Pot - MadisonResponded on May 10, 2022Kayla, thank you for joining us for Mother's Day. We're so sorry that your experience didn't live up to your - and our own - expectations for service.

It was very busy because of prom night but the sevrers did good job. But the place is so streamy because of all the fondues being heated I don't think much consideration into the ventilation system was ever taken into account when the place was built. I spent over $200 for two people three drinks each plus tip. If If I spend that much at a restaurant I expect exceptional atmosphere and exceptional food and this just wasn't that.

Melting Pot has gone downhill. Waitstaff isn’t trained, they used to be a lot more professional. The veggies and potatoes are prebought - not freshly prepared. The portions are 1/2 of what they used to be. Timing is rushed between each fondue. Subpar, looking for a new special place with fresh food, better ambiance and higher standards for waitstaff.

We went with a 9 and 11 year old on family night and was charged adult prices. Would not consider family friendly.

Good as always. I don't eat a lot of meat and usually I'm able to make adjustments to the entree to sub extra vegetables instead of meats. The server wasn't open to it so I paid $28 for zucchini, onion, and artichoke hearts as my entree. Still tasted great just wasn't what I normally get.
The Melting Pot - MadisonResponded on February 28, 2022JessicaL, thank you for dining with us and for your feedback. We've passed on your feedback for training purposes and we thank you for giving us the opportunity. Also, have you tried our Veggie Garden Pot? Best, Rob & Mike (owners)

We come here for many of our Anniversaries. This was the first year we were NOT put down lovers lane for our table. Instead, we were placed near the door and I had to wear my coat during dinner because it was so cold. The service was great as was the food. So the fact that even though I mentioned in our reservation it was our Anniversary and we basically got the worst seat in the house kinda ruined the overall experience. Who wants to wear a large puffer coat at a nice restaurant just to stay warm?
The Melting Pot - MadisonResponded on February 21, 2022Thank you for dining with us, and we're sorry the seating for your anniversary celebration was not to your liking. Please drop us a note at madisonmeltingpot@gmail with your name and phone number so our GM can be in touch. Thank you. Rob & Mike (owners)
