    The cheese pot was incredible. The salad was also really good. The entree, I was not impressed. I did not enjoy it at all. The burgundy and chicken broth and seasoning, even the smell to me was not good. I guess I ordered the wrong one. The service was really good as well. Very expensive for what we got. It definitely fills you up, the with cheese. oh and the chocolate was also good. After the meat I was ready to go. I didn't want to cook my own food. Not calorie friendly at all. But that's OK. We won't be returning to this restaurant.
    The Melting Pot - CincinnatiResponded on June 25, 2025
    Dear Sherry, We're happy to hear how much you enjoyed our cheese, salad, and chocolate courses. I do apologize that you did not find our entrée course to be to your liking. We're always happy to assist during the ordering process to guide you to what you might enjoy best for that course. I'm very pleased to hear that the service you received was really good as we strive to provide our guests with excellent service. We appreciate you're feedback on the cost of the experience and you're opinion on each of our courses. We do hope you change your mind of not dining with us again in the future. We'd be happy to have you back to enjoy just cheese, salad, and chocolate! Best regards, Doug B. -AM

    Love this place went for a weeknight dinner with friends. Atmosphere is OK, prefer the old school atmosphere where you actually sit closer to the ground. The couple next to us were timing all of their cooks with their phone and a loud ringer. The room was getting annoyed ;wish the servers had asked the couple to use their phone on silent . The food is classic and delicious.

    Hello Tracy, Thank you so much for leaving us a review. While we do apologize about the inconveniences of the tables around you, we are very glad to hear that everything was still delicious for you. We do hope to see you again soon for another night out with your friends! Thanks again, Matt Cushman -AM

    Server made us feel like an inconvenience from the very first interaction to the last. She never smiled, she was incredibly short with everything she said. After she took our payment she was waking away as she was finishing her sentence to us. It’s like she couldn’t get us out of there fast enough. If we weren’t familiar with the normal service there, we absolutely wouldn’t come back.
    The Melting Pot - CincinnatiResponded on June 14, 2025
    Hello Kirsta, We are so sorry to hear about this experience and the inconvenience that you felt. This is never something that we want to occur as we always try to ensure that you have the perfect night out whenever you are with us. I am still happy to hear that we have done so previously and we will make sure that the next time you return, everything is perfect as it should be. Thank you for leaving this review and will re-discuss proper service techniques so that this incident doesn't occur again. We would be happy to discuss this experience further if you would like to reach us by phone at (513) 530-5501 ext. 2. Thanks again, Matt Cushman -AM

    My fiance and I have celebrated many special occasions at the melting pot over the years. Last night we celebrated our 5 year anniversary and it couldn't have been more of a special event. Our service was out of this world!! Stephanie R. Made it such a special day and was such a pleasant person to be around. The spinach and artichoke cheese, salad, the cour bouillon with the steak lovers and the store chocolate were to die for. We received extra dippers with each course. Stephanie even took some photos for us to celebrate the occasion. The melting pot has become such a special place to us and is so fun and delicious
