    The Melting Pot is a must! You get so much good for the price and everything is outstanding. The service is fast paced in the beginning but when you get your entree course it slows down to give you time to cook your meal. Everything was excellent! No complaints!

    Marissa our waitress was awesome. The food was also outstanding. My wife and I really had a blast. We eached enjoyed a cocktail her rapberry chocolate martini a little tastier than my old fashion but I was still pleased. She said she wouldn't change a thing, me when I eat here again I will stick to apps and dessert, the dinner, even though delicious just lacked something. Overall though great time and am glad I went.

    We like to go to The Melting Pot for birthday celebrations, which was the case for this visit. Our server Bea was very personable and accommodating, especially since our two year old granddaughter was with us. The food was great as usual.

    I made a reservation for my wedding anniversary and invited a few friends to surprise my wife. I specifically put in the special request box that the party was a surprise for my wife and that the party would arrive at 6pm and my wife and I would arrive shortly after. Upon arriving at 6:08pm, the hostess welcomed us and said "you're meeting a party of 7?" to which my wife responded "no" and looked at me funny. While my wife was still very much surprised to see 5 of our closest friends at our anniversary dinner, I was very much upset that my special request wasn't followed. Other than that, we had an amazing time. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our server was absolutely wonderful.

    Loved the food and the setting the server was awesome it was a great night Only problem was the lighting is a little bright it was in my eyes the whole night but other than that it was great. I would say go with a soft white light bulb to take away the glair in your eyes while eating. Great place

    I couldn’t have asked for a better evening, starting off with the green goddess cheddar and a lemon berry mojito… scrumptious! Nicholas is a top tier server who helped us have the perfect night out. would have loved to send compliments to the manager in person, but this will have to do. will return in a jiffy!

    Long overdue date night for me and my husband. It has been awhile since we experienced The Melting Pot, but it was just as amazing as it was years ago. Always consistent with great food and service. Tiffany was awesome. She was friendly and gave just the right attention to ensure we had what we needed but had privacy too. Can't wait to do it again.
