I’m so sad to see this place go! Last experience was great, I just wish my card didn’t get charged for the wrong meal of $200.00+ right before rent is due.

We are so upset that the MP of Baton Rouge has closed for good. The closest MP now is too far away to drive for a meal, which means the MP experience for us will live in our happy memories. Thank you for providing many enjoyable experiences. We will miss you as you are our favorite place to go.

The food was great. Our waiter was not happy about the closure and her negativity was reflected in her attitude. She was trying her best, but it came through. I am just so sad about the closure of the restaurant. This was my children’s big celebration place. They now have to find another special place.

Sooo sad that is the last time we will get to go there. We went often as a family to catch up on life happening. One of my sons purposed to he girlfriend there and they have been married for 14 years. Melting Pot was the first restaurant that had gluten free food for my granddaughter. We will miss them!!

I absolutely love the Melting Pot. I loved and frequented the New Orleans location simply because it was closer, but it closed in May of 2018. I love the Baton Rouge one, too, and unfortunately, it is closing September 29, 2018, which is a shame! My husband is hard to get to go out on a date, and this was his favorite place, so now I go back to no dates again unless I want to drop a fortune to eat at his other favorite place.

Food was good, but the waitstaff seemed confused and loud. We went for my birthday, I also was supposed to receive a dozen free chocolate covered strawberries but was told that there were none made because they are trying to close. We were given 4 cream puffs in order to compensate for the 12 missing strawberries.

We had a horrible experience. They did not accept our Groupon which we should have received the face value. Our waiter did not come back to check on us. We had to track him down. He put our oil for the entrée very high and burned the meat too quickly. The busboy spilled hot grease on my daughter and they did not offer anything but burn cream. I guess it is good they are closing.

Hostess wasn’t nice. We had reservations on open table but she said they over book reservations. We had to ask three times and she told each time that we couldn’t get our table until 8:30 when we had a 6:15 reservation. If you call the phone number it’s a recording from Valentine’s day which was 6 months ago!

Waited over an hour with an empty glass before finally having to request a refill. Took another 20min to get the refill once I asked. The taste of the food was off and the filet was tough. Was overcharged/charged for an entree which I didn't receive. I ordered a crate your own-pick 4 and only received 3 of the items. The server immediately realized this and said she would correct it but did not. The bill arrived uncorrected so commensurate with the level of service we received over the course of the meal she only got a 10% tip.

Horrible experience. We got seated in the bar at table that had a broken burner, the controls for which were sitting on a chair that had been pulled up to the booth. Our food was a mess and not good- the “filet” tasted like pot roast at best. Our drinks took forever and at one point we overheard the bartender say “oh sorry, I keep getting caught up in this tv show.” (Bob’s Burgers was playing on the bar tv). And it was SWELTERING hot. I was sweating the whole time and by the end we were tempted to just eat the cost and skip dessert to get out of there and stop sweating.

I never have written a bad review however this time I can only do that. The service was terrible and unfortunately our waitress maybe had a bad day. The food is nothing to brag about either. You go here for the entertainment purpose and to dip in the fondue. If you’re looking for great food and service, this is not it. If you’re looking for entertainment with friends with mediocre food, bad service and dated decor, this is it.

It was our two year anniversary and because we are plant based, its very difficult for us to find places to go on dates so we don't go on dates often! When we saw The Melting Pot at least offered vegetarian options we were thrilled. Even though it wasn't vegan, we just wanted to go on a nice date. That is exactly what we got. Wonderful service, our waiter was kind and had a wonderful attitude. They gave us champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. We would go here again and again for special occasions!!

Our waitress was very personable and refilled our drinks numerous times without having to ask her. It took a little while for the first course to come out, but all of the other courses, including the check, arrived at a great pace. The food was delicious! In the past I had various milk chocolate desserts, but this time I tried a white chocolate option. It was great! I thought that the taste of the white chocolate blended better with the dippers than the milk chocolate did. The waffle pieces were my favorite.

The server was noticeably new, but also was doing the best she could with the table. The food came out fine and the tickets were split correctly and the payment process was smooth. The bartender that came by the table was extremely rude, and also made a scene with another coworker out in the open which everyone at the table found unprofessional. Would not return here again.
