    Perhaps they were understaffed? Service was spotty and sometimes very slow.

    I’ve visited this location four times now, and up until recently, the service had consistently fallen short of the experience I remember and loved growing up at The Melting Pot in Fort Myers. A month ago, I dined here on a quiet Monday night, and the service was just okay—which was especially disappointing since it was my boyfriend’s first time. We decided to give it another shot on Father’s Day, going in with zero expectations—and we were so glad we did. Dara completely changed the experience for us. She was warm, attentive without being overbearing, and made us feel truly cared for throughout the entire meal. Her kindness and professionalism reminded me of what The Melting Pot should feel like. Thanks to Dara, I now know that great service does exist at this location, and I’ll definitely be back because of her.

    We have eaten here many times over the years. This time when we sat in our usual booth an air vent was blowing (like crazy) extremely cold air down on us. In fact, it was so cold I had to get a jacket from my car. Usually I carry a fan with me as I seem to be hot most of the time...not this time! My husband was freezing but unfortunately he had no jacket in the car. (Mine was there becase I left it in the car from this winter when it was colder outside.) We mentioned this to the manager but she said she thought it was broken. My husband said this was the coldest he has ever been in a restaurant. (I know older people get cold easy, but we are not that old!) Service was very slow. We expect to take a while to eat since we cook our own food, it just took a while to get the cheese fondue to us and the main entree. Usually the server is on top of things so we are not sure what was going on. She was splashing the cheese fondue out of the pot when she was making it and stirring it. This has always been one of our favorite restaurants but this time it was NOT an enjoyable experience. We are in no hurry to return.
