About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Kid-friendly
  • Good for groups
Gourmet cheeses, crisp salads, juicy meats, fresh seafood, and decadent chocolate—all these delicious selections await you at The Melting Pot. But a meal at our Reston restaurant is about more than just the food (even though the food is amazing); it’s an interactive and fun experience that gives you the opportunity to reconnect and grow closer with friends and family. Pick up a skewer, and dip fruit, veggies, meats, marshmallows, and more into a warm pot of fondue. Choose 1 or 2 of your favorite courses (cheese and chocolate please!), or indulge in the full 4-Course Experience. And don’t forget to complement your meal with a glass of wine, a cocktail or craft beer. You’ll find our restaurant in the Plaza America Shopping Center near Reston Town Center.

Reserve your table and get ready to enjoy some fondue!

    Dinner for 4 without alcohol over $300 with tip. Soda refills were slow, request for extra sauce were slow. Food was good and the addition of new chocolate fondue flavor was fun along with a new cheese first course.

    It is a nice long dinner. Food was great, service was great too. The wine we had was excellent. The manager came by to follow up with us, which we appreciated. The value of the food is a bit expensive, but we understand we stay a long time.

    I go here with my best friend a few times a year, but this time we brought an extra friend with us (her first time dining at the melting pot) and she loved it! We all had a great time! A spectacular experience as usual! And i must say - having been coming here twice a year for 3 years now, i was a little bit nervous to see that some of the menu options had changed, but i was super thrilled with the brand new cheese fondue i tried!! And i’m excited to try more new things next time i visit :) thanks for being wonderful!

    Server was not the best. Food was ok but surprisingly small portions. Dessert was the best - Turtle Chocolate all the way!

    We had another wonderful evening at The Melting Pot on Saturday. With Sabrina as our server, we had the perfect service. She got everything that we ordered right, was very efficient and friendly! I also have to say that we were very impressed with the portions of food - there was no skimping! And she was more than happy to bring us more of our favorites like bananas and strawberries for the dessert and pretzel bread, green apples and cauliflower for the cheese fondue. It was delicious! I do have a suggestion to the mgmt: I'm wondering if you've considered adding cherry tomatoes to the cheese fondue menu of sides and pineapple to the chocolate fondue as a side? Everyone knows how well cheese and tomatoes are paired and it seems like a really good fit. Anyway, thank you for maintaining a high consistency every time we go and for regular sized bites - not miniature ones that fall off of the fork! Bon appetit!
    The Melting Pot - RestonResponded on April 28, 2025
    Hi Anna! Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad to hear that the food and service exceeded your expectations. We will pass along the kind words to Sabrina. On a side note: Cherry tomatoes are one of our rotating dippers for cheese, and it should be back soon. :-) We will make sure to mark those as your favorites. Thank you again for your review and we look forward to seeing you all in again soon!

    The food was exceptional. It seems that this set of meats/seafood was some of the best we've had at the Melting Pot. The Cheese Fondue was a little thicker than we remember. The Chocolate Fondue was thinner than previously. We use the Melting Pot for special occasions!
