    We love fondue, however we always go for the ambiance also. I chose the Melting Pot for my birthday dinner and was not disappointed. Our waitress was excellent and we never felt rushed by her. She took care of all the little extras including offering to pack up our dessert when she heard us saying we just couldn't eat anymore.

    We used to frequent Melting Pot in NN, but it had been a while. Service was quite terrible, and although it was Mothers Day - they weren’t really, really busy. We saw the waiter for the table across from us much more than we saw our own waiter and not because they asked for him to keep coming back - he was actually just attentive. The server didn’t come check on us once the cheese was done and he didn’t even make sure it was finished melting, so we had large clumps of Gruyère and way to much wine in the cheese. There was so much wine, it tasted like white wine with a tinge of cheese. The desert was very subpar aswell. It looked as if he had brought us a leftover chocolate fondue that someone accidentally ordered and they put back.

    We celebrated Mother's Day at The Melting Pot today and had a wonderful experience. Our waiter (Jeffrey) was fantastic. He ensured we had plenty of water and accommodated my gluten-free needs. The food was delicious! I ordered a rose and chocolate-covered strawberries for my mother to celebrate the day, and they were waiting for her when we arrived at the table. My only complaint is that the table behind us had kids who were being obnoxiously loud. That isn't the restaurant's fault, but it is a noisy atmosphere, and the behavior of the children behind us didn't help. Despite the loud kids, we are looking forward to going again soon!

    Very nice server however it took us 2 hours and 45 minutes to get through lunch. Food was good but I don’t know if they were understaffed or what but it just took way too long.

    Excellent experience! Our server, Jeff, was awesome! The only thing was the lights above the table were way too bright and couldn't be dimmed. Other than that, everything was very enjoyable.

    Overall great experience. Food was delicious as always, waitress was great. Only downside was the front desk was a little chaotic and we ended up having to wait over 20 minutes for our reservation that we made weeks ahead of time.

    This was my First and absolutely LAST time visiting Melting Pot. The experience was ridiculously over priced for the amount of food was brought out for 2 people. The amount we paid for the Valentines Dinner was ridiculous, not very tasty at all. I only enjoyed my salad and cheese fondue. The entree portion was enough for one person. My husband and I was very upset, especially for the amount our bill was. I been better off cooking a romantic dinner at home. Lastly after our entree plates was cleared it took our waiter roughly 30 minutes to bring dessert.
