    Wow. This was the best dinner I’ve had out in a LONG time and that’s saying a lot because we go out to nice restaurants weekly. First off, we had THE best waiter named Gill! Ask for him!! He was super friendly, provided amazing service and was so knowledgeable about pretty much everything. He was such a delight! Now for the food and drinks…oh my. Drinks were delicious (manhattan, smoked old fashioned and their special whisky sour)! My favorite was the smoked old fashioned! Ceasar salad was super fresh and their dressing was excellent. For sides we had the brussel sprouts and Prime potatoes. The brussel sprouts were UNREAL. Crispy but soft in the middle with a sweet glaze…addicting!! The potatoes had melted cheese, bacon and sour cream. They would pair well with any dish! Very nice alternative to mashed potatoes or fries. The star of the show was the steak. Good lord. I got the 14oz ribeye. I almost cried multiple times. It was cooked to perfection (rare) and the FAT! The fat was SO melt in your mouth…it was nuts. Like caviar that burst with buttery deliciousness. I know I sound dramatic but it’s the truth. My husband got the filet and said it was amazing but he kept stealing mine as well. We ended the night with chocolate cake and espresso. It always means a lot to me when restaurants serves good espresso! Please please do yourself a favor and give them a try!!

    I took my wife out to celebrate our one-month wedding anniversary, and the experience was fantastic. The server and management went above and beyond, providing exceptional service throughout the evening and making our celebration feel even more special. The food was incredible, as always. Melting Pot is one of my wife’s favorite spots, so we’ve visited many locations across different states during our travels, but I can honestly say this location stands out with the best service and food we’ve had, hands down.

    This was my second time to Chapter 6 and it once again did not disappoint. I went with four friends and we were able to order a good sampling of the tapas and one small dish. Our server Kirsten was great. She made recommendations that we loved. I can't wait to go back and try more off of the menu.
