Gourmet cheeses, crisp salads, juicy meats, fresh seafood, and decadent chocolate—all these delicious selections await you at The Melting Pot. But a meal at our Reston restaurant is about more than just the food (even though the food is amazing); it’s an interactive and fun experience that gives you the opportunity to reconnect and grow closer with friends and family. Pick up a skewer, and dip fruit, veggies, meats, marshmallows, and more into a warm pot of fondue. Choose 1 or 2 of your favorite courses (cheese and chocolate please!), or indulge in the full 4-Course Experience. And don’t forget to complement your meal with a glass of wine, a cocktail or craft beer. You’ll find our restaurant in the Plaza America Shopping Center near Reston Town Center.

Reserve your table and get ready to enjoy some fondue!

    The ambiance was far from perfect with the construction they are doing. They should have closed the restaurant for renovations. The set up of the table was not good, there’s some vents poorly directed that made the steam inconveniently directed at my face. Our waiter was very polite but would forget about us and take forever to come back. It seems to be the quality declined as the portions were not that good or the variety - we chose the most expensive experience.

    The restaurant was lovely and our service by Jefferson was awesome. The  cheese fondue was excellent as was the dessert fondue . The entrée fondue was a little disappointing. The quality of the meat was not as expected .

    I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for the first time on Valentine's Day, and it was a memorable experience. Our server, Serena, truly stood out with her exceptional service. She was attentive, kind, and took the time to address all of our questions and concerns, going above and beyond to ensure we felt taken care of. Her professionalism and warmth made our evening feel truly special. While the food was satisfactory, it didn't fully meet my expectations, but Serena's attentive care and excellent service more than made up for it. She truly elevated our dining experience, and I appreciate how she made our Valentine's Day celebration so memorable.
    The Melting Pot - RestonResponded on 16 February 2025
    Hello Evelyn.! We are so happy you chose us for your Valentine's Day and that Serena provided you all with exceptional service. We strive to provide flavorful and portion satisfying meals to all our guests. We had a set menu that evening, but we do offer a diverse menu and even some secret menu items that might be a more to your preferences. We appreciate the kind words about Serena and will pass those along to her. Our team appreciates your feedback and we hope that you will give us another try in the future.
