   This was a really fun experience for the family. Really enjoyed the cheese section. I was pretty full already after cheese and salad. The meat section was good but it felt like a lot for one person. My kiddo loved loved the chocolate section. We got the chocolate turtle. Would do it again with friends for happy hour or a really special occasion. Server was wonderful. Really liked our service!

   Food was good but too much bread, not enough veggies. Too many taxes passed on to the consumer.

   30 mins before anyone took our order, bad service throughout. Very overpriced for what you get even with the activity of making to food

   Great experience a bit on the higher side of cost. But it’s great for every once n a while

   We chose the Melting Pot for my daughter's 18th birthday because in the past, we've had a great experience here. We've brought each of other children for their birthdays. Prior to our reservation, I called and asked if I could add a special dessert to our package and was met with this response from the male on the phone " well yeah, we are a fondue restaurant, how would we not have dessert". That felt very condescending. Part of the fun about coming here is the experience, and the explanation of each course by the server. There was no explanation of the menu, when she returned, she asked what courses we wanted and explain what each course entailed and how they might be different. We waited long stretches to get our waters refilled and my husband ordered a bottle of wine and waited until it was almost gone for the chiller to be brought out. When the server brough the mixtures for the pot (cheese, broth, chocolate) she left and we were left wondering how long we should wait to dip our foods. The food was good, but that's it, just good. Our service felt hurried along and lacked the elegance and level of service that we had experienced in our previous visits to the Melting Pot. Our server was very nice, just not the level of attentiveness that we had experienced in past. When paying for a dinner for 4 for over $400, it seems that it could have been a much better experience. I think it will be a long time, if ever, before we visit again.

   Claryssa, our server, was friendly and helpful as we had many questions about the menu and the many fondue options. There are many cheese and seasoning choices available. The ingredients are of the highest quality and were delicious. We were celebrating my niece’s birthday and this restaurant experience made it a very special occasion for her indeed. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

    We came in for a family fondue night for a special celebration. We got the "Bigger Night Out" menu combination, and it did not disappoint! The beef, chicken, and lobster and other seafood tasted fresh and delicious. We had our favorite Wisconsin Cheddar as a starter and ended with the Yin and Yang chocolate. Our server, Claryssa, was super attentive without being annoying, and she was very personable. We always enjoy our visits, especially when it is happy hour for date night.
