About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Charming
Bring your big appetite to the big city. In downtown Minneapolis, The Melting Pot is your quintessential fine-dining restaurant. Start with freshly made salads and handcrafted dressings before you skewer succulent strips of steak, and finish the smorgasbord with our famous chocolate fondue. Desserts rank high here, and just like the complex taste of our entrées, there’s something to be said of our artisan cheeses and luscious chocolates. But in our cozy corner of dessert paradise, we’re more than just a classy addition to Minnesota’s culinary scene. We are casual and approachable, which makes us an excellent choice for reconnecting with long-lost friends, updating loved ones about your life, or simply breaking the ice on a romantic date.

    Our service was excellent from the hostess to our server, the gentleman removing our dirty dishes and two different managers checking in. The food tasted even better than it usually does and maybe that’s due to the new system of bringing the cheese already hot and mixed? Our server was excellent!

    I took my wife there for her birthday and we had a terrific time. From the second we stepped in the restaurant we were taken care of. Gavin was our waiter and he was great. Eric is the manager and, let's just say he made it a experience to remember forever. Great guy great place. Food was great and we will be bringing our friends and family there.

    Our server, Vinny, was spectacular. He took the time to explain the menu and ordering options so that it wasn’t overwhelming. The food quality was excellent and we definitely had more than enough to eat. The ambiance was dark and dated, you can see it was quite the place in its day. It now it felt big and dark.

    The only hiccup of the night was the wait for a table despite our reservation. However, once we got our table the food was fantastic (as always) and the service from our server was superb. So so tasty and a perfect date night.
