    Food was good as usual and service was decent. We do this place about 2 to 4 times a year. It is always a good time with smdecent service. The only complaint i have is the alcohol beverages are hit or miss. We returned two drinks one being a simple Old Fashion and the other being my wifes Blueberry Mohito, they were terrible and undrinkable; we ordered something else (Simple) and were fine. Other than the drink issue it was a great time and will be returning.

    We went the day before Father's Day for lunch (normally not opened that early) and it was great. It wasn't crowded, the service was excellent, and it was quiet so it was easy to talk. They offered a special for Father's Day - "Tea pot party". It was fun and it was cheaper than the normal four course offering while providing most of the same options (tea, tea party sandwiches, cheese fondue, regular fondue with limited entree options, and chocolate fondue) . We had fun and I would highly recommend it!!

    We took my daughter to celebrate her 6th birthday with a chocolate fondue. She loves coming to the melting pot on any occasion but our server made it special and gave her a special plate with happy birthday written in chocolate and sprinkles that she loved. It’s nice making special memories at the melting pot. Can’t wait to go back.

    I already reviewed on Yelp so I am copying and pasting my review here. Awesome food and service, our server was named Isaac and he was very kind, great conversation. I have an allergy and he was very accommodating of it. Sometimes servers can have an attitude when faced with an allergy or dietary restriction but he did not make me feel like a burden. He kept checking on us regularly and was very polite. My wife and I came to celebrate 6 years together and they even put a cute message on a plate for us. I'll definitely be returning to this location because the service was excellent. Food was perfect. My wife and I couldn't quite finish all of it but it was still amazing. All of the food seemed quite fresh and had a good flavor. We got the Wisconsin cheddar with no alcohol, I believe they sub in veggie broth if I remember correctly. I liked the Caesar salad too, I love Caesar salad and it definitely hit the spot. We also got traditional oil paired with land and sea. I really like the pesto and basil sauce (I think that's what it was called). Dessert was super yummy too.

    The food we had at the melting pot was delicious, as always. Service at this location was a bit slow. We were there for 2.5 hours from the time we were seated until we paid, and had to request our waitress come back a few times.

    We brought our family to the restaurant on Thursday, April 17th for dinner, and it didn't go well--long delays, issues with service, etc--leading us to leave without eating. The owner and manager reached out to apologize and asked us to try again; we returned Monday, April 21st to a truly excellent dining experience. The service was stellar, the food was fantastic, and we truly felt appreciated as customers. TONS of gluten free options, felt like a great, safe place to eat with an allergy. I would absolutely recommend the Gaithersburg Melting Pot after tonight's dinner; we will be returning!
