About the restaurant
The Melting Pot Restaurant in Charlotte is where fun is cooked up fondue style.

Our Charlotte restaurant is located in the Midtown neighborhood. Close to all Uptown hotels, Bank of America Stadium, Spectrum Center, Blumenthal Performing Arts center.

The experience is great in a group and romantic for couples. The intimate location provides a casually elegant, intimate atmosphere. The relaxing four-course experience begins with a cheese fondue prepared table side. A fresh salad follows while your entrée pot heats up. You’ll simmer a variety of tantalizing meats, seafood and vegetables. Each morsel is hot, fresh and delicious and all entrées are accompanied by an array of dipping sauces to add to the flavorful fun. Chocolate fondue is the finale.

We had a great time! My husband and I were going with our newborn and the restaurant was SO accommodating. They messaged me immediately about where we could put our newborn carrier. Then they called day of to make sure we were all set to bring our baby. When we got there, everyone was so nice and made sure that we were comfortable! The food was great. Overall good experience.

Plenty of good authentic Spanish choices here. If you can't decide go for a selection of Tapas, about 3 per person and a shared salad would be perfect. The empanadas are excellent and the Mussels w/ Chorizo and bread is enough for a meal in itself. This is our favorite go to restaurant for special occasions. Prices are reasonable for the great quality here.

While there are great servers, Rey is above the test. I come to Capital Grille on a monthly basis and Rey is my “go to”. The experience is NOT the same without him. He makes the entire experience memorable and I enjoy sitting in his section. He knows what I drink, typically what my order will be, and he is engaging without being overbearing. An absolute TREASURE!
