    Interesting drinks, tasty courses. It’s such a fun, interactive experience. The meal pacing was a bit too spread out which resulted in a 2.5 hour dinner…but you get so full with all the courses that the extra time was ultimately necessary. Very expensive meal so definitely only a special occasion event for my family, one we very much look forward to.

    Last night was terrible. Our server disappeared for 40 minutes. Manager could have handled the situation much better. This was after our server brought put the cheese, salads, and cooking style all out at the same time and didn't pace out the meal.

    Our server Libby gave perfect service and was very attentive. We got the vegan cheese, strawberry salad, garden pot and v chocolate. Libby was very knowledgeable about the vegan items and even made sure to ask us if we were okay with the wine (since some aren’t vegan). The manager came over personally to check in on us. They even made my wife a special “congrats” dessert plate for our celebration dinner. Will be back!

    One of our burners wasn’t working right and they took so long in between every course… the waitress knew this issue and did nothing about it… and for a reservation for 7 people you would think that they would have given us an area with more burners… everyone was eating at different times and was making it more difficult with that faulting burner… I will never go there again with a large party if they can’t accommodate.

    I ordered the romance package as it was our anniversary. They put the rose petals down but never lit the candles. Dinner was good. Had two servers, one in training. A boy with highly manicured, long, long girl nails. Just weird. Could hardly place things on the table as his nails were in the way. Was afraid he was going to spill on us. Luckily he didn’t. Ok night.

    Came in for a daddy daughter meal and they were great. First with the stuffed animal and chocolate covered strawberries, then we just order drinks and a dessert. Our server never rushed us on the order or on finishing the meal. My daughter absolutely loved it, which then makes her Dad absolutely love the experience. We’ll be back soon!!

    Service was too fast. They no longer mix the cheese at the table, they brought the salad while we were still on the cheese course, and started emptying the table when I still had food on the skewers during the chocolate course. Too pricey for such a rushed experience.

    The Melting Pot - BuffaloResponded on May 23, 2023

    Hello, Thank you for the feedback. I apologize you were rushed during your meal. Many of our guests have asked for a quicker dining experience so we have been focusing on keeping the pace faster. However, we still want you to be able to dictate the pace and slow things down if that is what you prefer. I would appreciate an opportunity to make it up to you. Please contact me at 716-685-6358 at your earliest convenience. Thank you, Jim Materese Owner

    Our server was not as friendly as we have experienced in the past. We were brought room temperature water twice and had to ask for ice. We felt rushed when she brought our salads and main dish at the same time before we even finished our cheese fondue. The food was amazing and we enjoyed the experience. We just had a bad experience with the server.
