    We made reservations at 7:15pm, arrived 30 minutes early. We waited at the bar and watched some March Madness til our table was ready, 10 minutes earlier than our reservation, kudos on you guys for keeping those reservations on time and earlier. There was a special event going on, a server called in sick, and seemed extra busy. But with all that going on, it didn’t interrupt our excellent dining experience. We had recently been there, so we knew exactly what we wanted. We stuck with just the cheese fondue but added the charcuterie board and shared the Strawberry Almond Salad, which was delicious and incredibly filling!! Our server was very nice and attentive. Thank you Devon!! We used the valet next to the Melting Pot, very highly recommended. If you hit the Ace parking, you passed the cheaper valet.

    We decided to try the The Melting Pot on a Monday. We made a later reservation at 7:30pm. We tried the 4 course dinner, which consists of, cheese fondue with veggies and bread pieces, salad (4 to choose from), 5 types of meat with your choice of fondue cooking styles and then an amazing dessert of many choices of chocolate fondue paired with fruits and bite sized dipping treats. The food was amazing, our server Vanessa was very polite and had great recommendations for us. The prices are worth every penny, not only for the delicious food, it’s also a fun experience if you’ve never tried fondue! We were informed that there is happy hour with the cheese and chocolate fondues every weekday, which we will definitely be back for!!

    Will, I'm thrilled you loved your visit to The Melting Pot! Your praise for our tasty fondue and Vanessa's excellent service means a lot. We aim to deliver a one-of-a-kind dining experience, so I'm pleased we succeeded. Thank you, and we can't wait to have you back!

    El lugar agradeceria una remodelada, ademas es muy incomodo atravezar un pasillo, salir del restarant, bajar escaleras o tomar un elevador para tener que ir al baño.

    Everything was great Except it took too long 2 get drinks. Also, the threat on OpenTable that 2 guests only get an hour and half is ridiculous and insulting. No way guests could complete this meal in that time. We were there 2 and a half hours and spent $250 before tip. The service is slow and meant 2 b.
