Bring your big appetite to the big city. In downtown Minneapolis, The Melting Pot is your quintessential fine-dining restaurant. Start with freshly made salads and handcrafted dressings before you skewer succulent strips of steak, and finish the smorgasbord with our famous chocolate fondue. Desserts rank high here, and just like the complex taste of our entrées, there’s something to be said of our artisan cheeses and luscious chocolates. But in our cozy corner of dessert paradise, we’re more than just a classy addition to Minnesota’s culinary scene. We are casual and approachable, which makes us an excellent choice for reconnecting with long-lost friends, updating loved ones about your life, or simply breaking the ice on a romantic date.

Overall a positive experience but a few issues: The oil was too hot and initial items cooked in it splattered and burned quickly. This was eventually realized by our server and oil was added to cool it down. We ordered a pitcher of the punch. It was supposed to be smoking but wasn't. Not terribly important but we wanted the experience. Apparently they ran out of the dry ice that created the smoke but were not made aware of this when we ordered it. The pitcher was not mixed so those who got the first pour were very sweet. Those who got the last pour were more sour. There were 6 of us but you only get two cooking styles. We also only received two trays of dipping sauces. I assume if you come as a couple you would get your own sauces. The amount of some sauce is not adequate especially the ones that were more popular at our table. The table situation for six was a bit cumbersome. We had a rectangle table. We had two different cooking styles. Those on the end or the table had difficulty managing their food having to reach over the person sitting in the center. It can get a little hectic.

Food was good and server was knowledgeable but we were sat right before a 6 top birthday party and our server struggled to keep attentive to all of her tables, we were forgotten about several times as we were just a 2 top. Each time she apologized but it got old and ruined our experience.
