It is what it is. The kitchen seasons everything well so all the food was good. GREAT wine. Amazing service. You are cooking your own food though. Not for me but if that’s your thing then this is a great spot

We have always loved The Melting Pot and were so excited for the St Pete location to open! My husband and I sat at the bar for dinner and both bartenders were amazing. Can’t wait to go back even just for cocktails and nibbles.

The food delicious and service was top notch. I like the new location but it did have quiet cubbies tucked away in the back.

We went her to have dinner before going to the Opera. We chose the 4-course menu for 2 ($120). We started with the Alpine Cheese fondue. It was a mix of cheeses with breads to dip in, and there was one cheese that did not mix well with the others, but it was still good. Then came a choice of salad, I had the house salad with ranch; very tasty. For the protein portion fondue, I chose the Pacific Rim one that came with 2 bite size portions of Ahi Tuna, 3 shrimp, 2 duck, and two other meats. It was about 1/2 way through this delightful course that I knew I was full, but of course, I still had dessert to come! We ordered the standard chocolate fondue but subbed dark chocolate in it based on our server Sam's (excellent) suggestion. May I say that it was so decadent and divine. It came with pieces of waffles, brownies, and other delightful things one shouldn't eat. It did have sliced bananas and strawberries to make it healthier...Again, I was full, but I ate most of that. We did share a bottle of wine ($48). Parking was slightly difficult as it was Friday evening. We got there at 6 pm and left because of our next event at 7:45. I was amazed it took that long, but the timing of the service was great. They know what they are doing. I'll be back.

I think the best base for cooking meat/seafood is the oil.

We were sad when Melting Pot on 4th St. closed. This was our first experience with the new Melting Pot. It was great. Our server Jake was outstanding. He was very accommodating, had a great personality, was everything you could want in a server and more. When we come back we will definitely request him as our server we enjoyed him that much. The food was as expected - excellent. The atmosphere was lovely and not too loud - we could converse easily. Great job on the building rehab.

6 power surges before we were half through our main course. After the third power surge we asked to move but the manager decided it wasn't necessary, it's just a little flip of the breaker. We couldn't finish our main dish due to the pot losing the rolling heat. I'm sure the food would've been fine however the enjoyment of dinner was lost on the constant flagging down our server about our cooktop not working. After we moved seats and after asking for the 4th time, we asked for the manager. He had little to say, no sense of hospitality until pushed back and then he spoke up and said don't worry I'll take something off your bill. Sir, that is appreciated but too late. The entire experience was a disappointment. I hope the restaurant gets that area corrected so the next guests won't have the experience we did. The server was great and no fault to her.

Everything was great except the air did not seem to be working and it was SO hot in the building! And then adding the hot pots/cooking food was even hotter!
