A must do!! Very fun place!! Our waitress was EXTREMELY helpful for us newbies. The food was top notch. Definitely will be going back! Don’t let the price prevent you from visiting! It is 100% worth every penny.
For the price, I feel like the service could have been better. I use to like going there only because I never felt rushed and it's a great place for visit and chat. But the service and presentation has really gone down hill lost covid. Prices have stayed the same, but service is just subpar.
Service was awful
Ray was very helpful in explaining what we needed to do.
The food is always really good and the restaurant is it's own experience
Anniversary dinner. It was fantastic.
The food was very delicious as always. The whole experience always seems a bit overpriced but we left happy so I guess that’s the important thing. We were celebrating our first anniversary (on the actual date of our anniversary!) and because they asked us if we were celebrating anything I thought that there might have been some cute writing on a dessert plate or something. But nothing ever came of it. Ah well. Overall we had a good time.
It was amazing I definitely recommend it
Took my wife for a nice quiet dinner and Melting pot never disappoints. Ask for a table in Lover’s lane and it nice and quiet and private. Great dinner experience for when you don’t want to be rushed.
We dined in a room to the side of the main area. It was a nice spot and we felt very private. Our servers were fantastic and the food was outstanding.
Dined at the Appleton Melting Pot for a belated Valentine's Day celebration. Our server made the day special and even brought out candles. She was very attentive and kind. The food was excellent and was an overall enjoyable experience!
Delicious food, great variety, wonderful helpful service. We had never been before and Kailey (sp?) did a great job guiding us through the experience. Definitely on the more expensive side but great for a celebration or a special time!
I haven’t eaten at your establishment multiple times and it has been a pleasant experience but Saturday night was not up to the expectations or the quality that I have had in the past. When I made reservations first of all they didn’t tell me it was in the bar area. I was disappointed because it was quite noisy and we felt we were forgotten at times. We asked if there was booth available but there was not. This would be something that should be explained before arriving.
Great food, good value. Our waitress was awesome!! It had been years since I had been to a Melting Pot. She was patient in answering our questions and helpings us choose our dinner. She even went above and beyond when my 6 year old daughter spilled her kitty cocktail on her white jean jacket. She helped us get the stain out! She even made note that we had event to get to by 6 and made sure we left on time. Probably the best service I've ever received at any restraunt!
Went With old work friends for our annual dinner. There weren’t any specials at the time. Food and service were good. Always a fun night
Service was pleasant, but painfully slow. The prices seemed ridiculously high; however, the food was fantastic.
Very enjoyable!
Are here for a date night with my hubby. It was my second time eating at this location. It’s very elegant and perfect for a date. Great recommendations from our server and drinks were fantastic.
It was a great experience like usual. The server seemed to rush us just a little and comparing the amount of food for the kids meal versus the adult; I realized adults pay a lot more for not that much more food! Regardless, we love this place and never have less than a 4/5 experience so will absolutely be returning.
Our family went out to celebrate getting a new puppy this coming week! Our 9 year old and 12 year old loved the food and the experience just as much as my husband and I did. Our server was wonderful at recommendations and the timing throughout the evening was perfect. Thank you!
Enjoyed Melting Pot, server was knowledgeable and patient. Would go again
I have been telling all my friends and family that they need to go here! They give you the opportunity to donate to St. Jude Hospital and win a little something if you donate. The hostess brought my fiancé and me to our booth and handed us a handwritten card wishing us a happy anniversary with a coupon inside. The manager came up to us and personally wished us a happy anniversary and checked how everything was going. Our server was OUTSTANDING in every way. The Melting Pot staff truly made us feel like their only customer, which is really special. I loved the ambiance and it was the perfect place to celebrate a great day!
Jade rocked! Wow I wish more people were like her
Had a nice experience. A fun way to celebrate an occasion. Our waitress was very attentive but not overly so. Other groups were near us but not too loud. Really enjoyed the evening.
We always have an exceptional experience at The Melting Pot. The service and food are both amazing consistently.
I brought my Aunt and Uncle for their first 4 course fondue experience. We all had a wonderful time. The service we received was excellent, our waitress explained all the courses and how she was preparing that went along with all the options for each each course. It was a perfect evening!
I brought my 8 yr old son for cheese and chocolate. We had a wonderful time. Jade was a great server and suggested a yummy cheese. The bread assortment could have been higher quality but still tasty when dipped. The chocolate and chocolate dippers were scrumptious.
Our visit was amazing. Our server Tara was fun and made sure our night was as amazing. We will definitely be back
The waitress would be gone for 30 minutes before coming back to our table. Twice with forget to refill our waters she said she would be right back for. After 90 minutes we had to leave for a painting class so we had to come back after to finish our dessert course. We had “all you can eat” entrees but didn’t have time to enjoy that since it took 30 minutes to refill the meats.
I have been a loyal Thursday night ladies night customer for many, many years. So when I learned at this visit to the restaurant that the long-standing ladies night deals and crave combo were no longer offered at a discount, we left immediately without ordering. I will not return. I can't afford to eat at The Melting Pot without those discounts, even for a special occasion. I guess it explains why the parking lot and restaurant were totally empty at 5:30 on Thursday night, something I have never seen there before. I can't imagine this is a sound business decision for the restaurant, and I sincerely hope they revisit this change in the future. The server was perfectly understanding and seemed very apologetic for this change to the menu.
Amazing food and experience. However, we booked a reservation stating we were celebrating our anniversary and shortly after our appetizer a family with loud children were placed across from us. They were loud enough to where I couldnt hear/have conversation with my husband across the table. Ultimately, we stopped talking to eachother. We know its not 100% avoidable, however, it did put a damper on our dinner as we made sure to have a sitter so we could enjoy our very rare date night let alone a celebratory one. Perhaps the waitstaff could be a little more mindful on where they seated families when couples reserve tables for intimate events such as anniveraries. The food and everything else was phenomenal, no compaints whatsoever and our waitress was wonderful. I wouldve been more inclined to stay and have ordered extra drinks/desserts had it not been for the other table. Thank you so much.
Great time!!
While the service was great and we had a nice server, there was issues with our burner. It either burned really hot or cold. It probably took over 15-20 minutes for our chocolate to heat up so we could eat it. We let our server know and she tried to get it to work as best as possible but even said that she had told management about issues with that burner multiple times. Maybe then that booth/burner should be taken out of use until they know it was working properly. Nothing more frustrating than having some amazing food sitting in front of you and not being able to enjoy it properly.
My husband and I try to come here at least once a year. This last visit was our worst experience. We had a server who was very new and it was very evident. She didn’t use very much wine for our cheese fondue, so there wasn’t much for dipping, which we couldn’t do because she forgot our dippers and we had to wait until she remember. She also forgot our dippers for our chocolate fondue. There was a misunderstanding about our entree portion which the manger corrected. The manager did a wonderful job seeing that our dinner went well. They need to train the servers longer before letting them off on their own.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your last experience, we will look into our training procedure and make sure that we are better preparing our staff to deliver the experience you deserve. Sincerely, Dave Ahern General Manager
Brought friend who never had the fondue experience. Our waitress was extremely attentive and very accommodating. Answered all of our questions and special requests. Took the extra steps to make this retirement celebration a positive experience for my friend. Thank you.
Hi Lynn, Thank you for joining us for your celebration and congrats on your friends retirement! We are looking into other options to create a better Ladies Night special. Sincerely, Dave Ahern General Manager
I’ve had incredible experiences in the past at the Melting Pot In Appleton, but this last time wasn’t as great. Our waitress took a long time in between courses when we were obviously finished and waiting for the next part. She also never refilled our drinks
Service was great, food was delicious! We did the 4 course meal and were there for 3 hours, but we were never rushed. The meal changes were prompt and everything was delicious- especially the Candy Bar chocolate fondue dessert!
For the first time in a very long time, the service was very, very slow. We had endless entrees and it took a very long time to get them or any new sauces. At one point we had to go find a person to go and track down our waitress because we had been waiting on a refill of entrees and sauces for 30-40 minutes (no exaggeration). Normally service is much better
My husband and I have been coming here at least once or twice a year for the last 8 years for special occasions or date nights. This time was the worst, the dining room was obnoxiously noisey due to crying kids. Everything we ordered came out late or not at all.
The food was good, as usual, but the waitress was a bit forgetful and brought my husband the wrong beer. There was also a loud, crying baby for our entire meal.
