    We felt very rushed by our server, and even though we were celebrating a birthday, our server did not acknowledge it stating he did not get the notification in the reservation notes, even though I saw them there, and we reminded the hostess

    It took us 1.5 hours to get our salad and we were there for 2 hours and 45 minutes with two little kids. And that was with us complaining it was taking too long. Insane.
    The Melting Pot - PortlandResponded on May 12, 2025
    Hi Sohel! I was able to take a look at the time stamps for your experience as we monitor and record each transition period for all our guests starting from when you arrived, were sat, and closed your tab. I understand that when we are hungry or have young children with us that time feels to move faster. Our notes show that from arrival to check out, your family dined with us for a total of 2 hours. That is what our average table time is for a family of 4 having all 4 courses with us, especially on one of our bussiest holidays of the year. We hope you enjoyed your food and your server otherwise and would love for you try us out again in the future. Happy belated Mother's day!

    I went into this knowing that this is an experience restaurant and is priced as such. Our party of 6 went to celebrate our anniversary with our children. Shayna was very helpful, she kept the courses coming and made an excellent recommendations. This was a great family experience.

    A fun experience and nice atmosphere. Food is good, service is good. It was very uncomfortable and disappointing when our server approached me in front of my children asking why I didn’t leave him a tip. I reassured him that I did, and after he looked further in to it he apologized promptly. Still, very unprofessional and strange.
    The Melting Pot - PortlandResponded on May 19, 2025
    Hi Jennifer! I am so sorry to hear that? That does not sound like anything that I would expect from any of our servers. I agree that is very strange and unprofessional. If you are intrested in reaching out to give more information about your reservation date, I would be happy to have the proper coaching conversation with said staff members. We hope to have you back. <3
