This was our second visit, and sat at the same table as last time. We opted for the four-course menu and added the wine pairing. The crab cake was the best I have ever had, the use of pickled red cabbage as a base is genius. The squash soup was unctuous, the addition of grated parmigiana another genius idea. The salmon was perfection, as was the duck. Attentive and super friendly wait staff, the sommelier is great though we miss the wonderful man he succeeded. Fantastic experience, see you in 2025.

About the restaurant

The Melting Pot Restaurant in Charlotte is where fun is cooked up fondue style.

Our Charlotte restaurant is located in the Midtown neighborhood. Close to all Uptown hotels, Bank of America Stadium, Spectrum Center, Blumenthal Performing Arts center.

The experience is great in a group and romantic for couples. The intimate location provides a casually elegant, intimate atmosphere. The relaxing four-course experience begins with a cheese fondue prepared table side. A fresh salad follows while your entrée pot heats up. You’ll simmer a variety of tantalizing meats, seafood and vegetables. Each morsel is hot, fresh and delicious and all entrées are accompanied by an array of dipping sauces to add to the flavorful fun. Chocolate fondue is the finale.

My fiancé and I were celebrating one year of being engaged. The restaurant immediately greeted us with a welcome and congratulations card. Our service was great, the food was even better, and to top it all off at the end of the night they gave us a plate written in chocolate! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
