    Menu was difficult to understand. It was 3 hours long for 3 courses so be prepared to be there a long time. We thought the options were extremely overpriced. It was complicated to cook the different meets as each required different timers. More prongs would have been helpful to speed the process along. The food was pretty good.

    Austin... I believe that was his name. He was awesome. He explained everything well to those of the group that had never been. Just a great personality. The experience although expensive was worth it for the experience, food and time to talk with friends. I would recommend for a girls night.

    We have eaten at Melting Pot several times and are aware that it is a bit pricey and involves a longer dining time than most restaurants. We enjoy the food and the experience of eating at Melting Pot. The food was very good and our server allowed us to make on substitution in the menu and also provided a new filet when ours was not very tender. We appreciated her focus on making our anniversary celebration a great one.

    7 people, 3 hour dining experience expected for high end/top notch restaurants. Melting pot used to be that type of dining experience. Anything but nowadays. Hard to understand why service isn’t number one priority when none to very little cooking is taking place in the kitchen. Hope they can turn it around.

    Was there with 6 people and was put at a table that only had 2 burners. Considering each meal is done by couples, that meant that 1 couple was left out with their cooking style of choice. Was told we could get a bigger table that could accommodate and it never happened. Drinks took 10+ minutes to receive once ordered. When main course arrived, 5 people were to share 1 plate of veggies, which wasn't even enough for 1 person. That seemed like a huge waste of money as each couple should have got 1 to split. Would not recommend if you have a group over 4

    Not up to previous standards: Our booth was sticky and the menus were dirty. The hostess started us off with waters, to help out the server, but actually dipped her unrestrained long hair in the glasses when she leaned over to set them down. We asked for bourguignon but received bullion and had to send it back. We had to remind the server that we needed gluten free dippers at each course. The gluten free bread was very disappointing. We didn’t have any silverware to eat our dessert course. They were out of Rice Krispie treats and the only fruit offered for dessert fondue were strawberries and bananas. In the past there were apples, pears, and pineapples. We also felt the serving sizes for the cheese and chocolate courses were smaller than they used to be. The food was delicious, but the details that should make this a perfect experience were missing.

    It seemed like they were VERY understaffed. It took over 30 minutes to get our drinks. The cheese pot was not warm when he showed up to make the cheese so it took a very long time for it all to heat up. The server was very friendly but it took a very long time to get what we ordered.

    Service was A++. Drink refills took a long time, but our server was very kind, accommodating, and tried to make everything right. The food was so-so. It wasn't the best-but I find this to be the norm with "high-end" chain restaurants. The portions were small. We had 3 people at the table: two adults and one child. The child barely ate anything (picky eater) and we paid full price for everything. The best part: appetizer and dessert. I recommend sticking to the cheese and chocolate if you decide to go--and a thick wallet.

    Returned again, this time as gluten free diners with kids. Our waitress was slammed, but her team helped her out thus giving us one of the best timed (not rushed, but expedited) meals we’ve had here. The food was fantastic. Our waitress, though very new, was great with our GF needs (& so was the GM when we called earlier in the week, as well at the manager working that night). Yummm!

    Food is pretty good but overpriced. You are paying for the fondue experience and not the quality. All of the brownies, cake, Rice Krispie treats, waffles etc seem to have come straight out of a package and were definitely not freshly made. Nice atmosphere and privacy at tables but as far as the food, could have had a much higher quality meal at a lower cost elsewhere.

    Service was very slow. Our server told us if we needed something to get up and walk around to find someone as he was busy. Meat quality overall was poor as our steak was very fatty. We’ve been to this location a few times and this was by far the worst experience.

    This was our first time here. We made a reservation and when we arrived, I think they were having issues. Not sure what the issue was, but it seemed like they had more reservations than tables. They apologized and you could tell they were trying their best. We were seated and 45 minutes after our initial reservation, a server came over. She was great and knew we now had to hurry. Unfortunately, we were not able to finish our dining experience as we had somewhere to be. Also seemed pricey for the amount of food.

    The experience was not good. It took forever to get our drinks. The cheddar fondue was good, alpine fondue way too alcoholic. This may be because it had to be remade and the pot was not warm. The only thing to dip in the fondue was mediocre bread and small pieces of baby carrot and celery. Salads were decent but had too much dressing on them. Used the cast iron and broth for cooking. Everything took a long time to cook, seasonings did not taste great and the heat generated from the cooking made it uncomfortable. Was not a good value for the cost Did not stay for the dessert- got a coupon but not sure I will be back. I definitely will not go back again for a dinner.

    Service was very slow. Had to be re-seated because with 9 guests they didn’t think we’d want 3 burners. Spent over 4 1/2 hours there. Server charged us for things that we didn’t ask, got parts of our order wrong, and was pretty rude. A 17 year old shouldn’t be trying to handle a party of 9 on her own. Poorly cut meat.

    Took my girlfriend here for her birthday as she kept raving about it and the experience. Got the thursdate special and had the candle with rose peddles on the table waiting for us. Which a lovely setting to come to, the staff was professional and very quick to seat us as we had a reservation set. The waitress was incredibly helpful and gave us wonderdul recommendations and checked up on us regularly while still gave us time to eat. She even joked with us which made the experience all the more fun and memorable. The icing on the cake was when she offered to take pictures for us using my my phone which came out lovely. Would recommend couples who are looking to do something fun and new to try the melting pit out!

    Our evening was fine- not great. I noted in the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and no one had any idea about it. We waited over 5 minutes for anyone to even come to our table. Then, we waited another five minutes for water. The place was mostly dead and it seems like they should have been more prompt with the service. We usually love coming here to celebrate, but I might have to start looking elsewhere. It was kind of disappointing, unfortunately.
