We always love visiting melting pot. Fantastic experience and Shauna the manager went above and beyond for us. If you have never been, some things to bite: - let melting pot know why you are coming. - use the timer for cooking times but don't be afraid to check it and put it back in for 15 seconds. - we recommend getting the night out specials. Takes the decision making out of it and is a great deal. Again I highly recommend giving this spot a visit!

The cheese and the chocolate was amazing. The meat… not good at all. The server didn’t like his job and it was evident. Go somewhere else. Gaslamp has many amazing options. Not worth it here.

Excelente!, my wife and I took our moms for dinner and everything was wonderful. I forgot the waiters name but he’s from Spain and he’s service was 10/10. We wanted for our moms to have a good experience and dinner, it didn’t disappoint.

Excellent experience! We had Hamilton tickets for the 7:00pm show, so we wanted a restaurant we already knew had delicious food. We were once again happily satisfied, Silvio was the one who took care of us that night and did a fantastic job!! Thank you Silvio!! May, June and July are all our important dates to celebrate, so we’ll definitely be back again!!
