Went here for Father's Day. Just keep in mind, if you do the four-course dinner, it can take some time (~2 hours).

Food was good but service was almost nonexistent in a mostly empty restaurant. Table was not cleared quickly and long waits between courses.

We have eaten here so many times and there is always an issue. This time, it was 100% different. The main positive highlight - the young lady who waited on us- Audrey. Only two months working at the restaurant and she treated us like she had been there for a long time. Made our night! Many people in the food service business should take some pointers from her ;).

We had a wonderful mother day dining experience with our waitress (I’m sorry I don’t remember her name). The food came in a timely manner and we even ordered an extra fondue (that’s my fave) and it still didn’t interrupt the rest of the meal with the meats/veggies then chocolates to follow. We love coming here to celebrate! Thanks Melting Pot -Raleigh!
