    We’ve been here twice before and haven’t had the service issue that we had this time around. It was unfortunately the worst melting pot experience we’ve had. We’ll try Reston next time!

    We had a wonderful Galantines day evening! Our server, Brittany, was friendly and made some wonderful drink recommendations. Also loved the special offering for the roses & balloon. It was just an extra special touch on our special night out.

    My wife and I went to the Melting Pot for Valentine’s Day and they did a fantastic job. The set menu had some of our favorite things available and the roses for the ladies and rose petals on the table were a wonderful touch.

    We had a pretty bad waiter. Forgot the drink and it took forever. Also forgot the dippers. Forgot the bread. He was nice but definitely some need coaching from the management staff. Kids ordered the flaming turtle chocolate for dessert. He came back 5 minutes into them eating it , poured nuts on it and lit it on fire. I’m pretty certain that was supposed to have happened when it was being set up

    Our server, Wells, was experienced, helpful and not intrusive. Our party ordered gluten-free dinner and there were many selections from which to choose. Everything was delicious and paced very well. We will definitely be back.
