    We felt like VIPs throughout the entire experience. It certainly helped that it was a very quiet day/time, being early afternoon on a weekday. But our server, Danny, was FABULOUS. He made sure our birthday celebration was special. And the food was delicious as always; The Melting Pot is one of our favorite spots!

    Food was very good, the experience is nice. Waiting staff will help you order if you do not know whats good to get. The caesar salad was by far my favorite. The vibe was elegant and yet sociable. Not any child while I dined if that matters for some. The lemon berry basil drink was amazing

    Waitress dropped a salad on me. Didn’t replace the dressing which ended up all over my pants. Waitress said sorry. Manager came and said sorry, no discounts, free dessert, etc… Very expensive for cooking my own food.

    The food was excellent as usual. This is the 6th time we have eaten at this restaurant in the past year, usually the service is great but this time we had an inattentive server so it wasn't as good of an experience as we typically have.

    The hostess at the front was rude and dismissive, despite us having a reservation and the restaurant being very empty. The $26 appetizer included a pile of bread and a couple of raw vegetables haphazardly thrown on a plate. For being called the “Melting Pot” the fondue size was very small and was removed before our meat even arrived. I thought the whole point was to have cheese throughout the meal…The serving sizes are a joke and extremely expensive for what you get. I thought I was seeing things when I saw little pieces of meat being delivered in a sauce bowl. The side dishes are very low-effort as well - whole, raw, unseasoned mushrooms; a few slices of unseasoned zucchini; and a couple raw potatoes in the area. Overall, it was a very underwhelming and criminally overpriced experience. We will not be returning.

    The Melting Pot is always a fave spot for my friends and I, this visit was great as usual. The menu has some small changes and they are so good. The double dippers with the cheese course are a must have, makes the cheese even better! We both tried the new brown sugar bourbon steak in our entree choice and it is amazing, definitely a must have. Service was above and beyond from Mike behind the bar and Kara as our server.

    The server, Dustin, was great. The food was good. However, the seating hostesses and the whole experience was off-putting, which got the whole experience started on the wrong foot. We had a reservation yet people who walked in, from the Steelers game, got seated and in nicer tables…. We were offered a table next to the bathroom (mind you I had a reservation). Luckily I said something and then they found me a new table… the whole process was not great and the first impression created was not good.

    The food is way overpriced and the only things that are good are the cheese fondue and the chocolate fondue. The meat takes forever to cook in the cast iron a couple pieces at a time. We also had more than a half bottle of wine left over and we weren’t allowed to take it home. I’m sure the staff enjoyed it afterward.
