    Service was than expected and continues to get worse with every visit. Service is just not what it was before the pandemic. The kicker for me; leftovers were taken home in 20oz clear plastic cups and no bag! This place is just not the value it once was.

    The restaurant was so hot! We looked at the thermostat on the way out and it said it was 86 degrees inside the restaurant. It made it so un-enjoyable. There were 4 tables that got up and left because the heat was so overwhelming. Staff said the AC is broken. I will not consider going back until it is fixed!!!

    Expensive but great. We went for our anniversary and had the total 4 course meal experience for two. My wife got chicken as one of her proteins and regretted it. Took too long to cook and we were paranoid about cooking it thoroughly. Overall we loved it!

    My wife and I went here for our third wedding anniversary. The food was solid. We had the four course meal with the classic alpine fondue and used the grill method. The cheese fondue had a little too much nutmeg and not enough garlic for me. I also would not serve celery with the cheese fondue. Seems like an odd choice. The salads were pretty basic and not quite the quality I would expect from a higher priced restaurant. The rest of the meal was good, though I did miss having a bbq or steak sauce as a dipping sauce. We finished with the Dark & Dulce chocolate fondue, which was very yummy, but definitly missing more fruit options to dip in the chocolate. The staff was great! Super friendly and attentive. Overall a good experience, if a bit overpriced.

    The service and food was fantastic but the front staff was very confused and did not communicate to each other very well. Our reservations were for 7:15 and they seated several customers before us. We had to ask what was going on. We weren’t seated until after 7:30. A little frustrating. But the rest of the night was great.

    Used to be a favorite celebration spot but it seems to have had a steady decline. The building and furniture are looking rather shabby. The entree was not as good as it once was, we found quality to be lacking. The cheese and chocolate courses were lovely. Staff was great, our server was kind and funny and all around awesome. The manager was also very pleasant. I feel as tho the restaurant is a victim of the times, trying to maintain its price points while quality and maintenance suffer.

    Party of 7 celebrating a graduation. We ended up in a room by ourselves, which was nice, but did feel a little neglected as the night wore on when we ran out of water and sauces. We had to ask about a “surcharge” of almost $15 that was added to our bill - apparently it’s to offset the rising cost of meat. They said they don’t raise their menu prices but apparently there’s a note on there about a surcharge for rising cost of meat (?). Overall, good experience.

    Based on our previous visits to Melting Pot we thought it would be perfect to take our daughter to celebrate her graduation. The experience was ok at best. The service wasn’t what we were accustomed to. The portions definitely seemed to be smaller for a increased dollar amount. We will probably explore different establishments for our next celebration.

    Paid $60 for the “experience” and it was them dropping off the bear, balloon and strawberries after we sat down and that was it. The 4 course meal took 3 hours to get through. It was very slow and multiple other customers tracking down wait staff for an update on when they are getting service. Food was good as usual. Disappointed in what I spent for an experience, I do not suggest that.

    Brought my Mom here for her 80th Birthday. Thank you Melting Pot for making this birthday a very special and awesome event! We all had an amazing time from the bottle of champagne and boxed chocolate strawberries waiting on the table, to a special birthday teddy bear 🧸 just for Mom. This occasion was certainly the best! Mom and both of my daughters had never been, needless to say they will ALL be back! The food as always was fantastic! We were all filled to the brim, then they brought out the chocolate fondue!!! OH MY OH MY!!! FANTASTIC! Think we all wanted to kick the pots!! LOL Thank you Melting Pot for all the amazing food and fun! Happy 80th Mommy💜💜💜💜
