I have been to The Melting Pot multiple times and have never been disappointed. When my husband and I first tried it several years ago, I didn't understand the fondue experience at all and wondered why we were paying so much money just to cook our own food. But dining at the Melting Pot isn't a normal night out....it's a... More

The food was good. Lee was one of the best servers we've ever had. He was attentive and professional. The price was appropriate for the courses. We were celebrating our sobs birthday.

This is a nice place to go if you want to linger over dinner. There are many choices for each course so you can experience a variety of flavors and they can accomodate gluten free dining restrictions. Our particular waitress was fairly efficient but seemed a liitle awkward and unpolished. The portions are adequate but not ample. Just by nature... More

A great place for a romantic date. The food is all pretty good, especially the chocolate fondue which is amazing. The prices are a little high, but hey, it's not a place you're going to all of the time. Don't skip on the chocolate though.

My husband and I finally tried the Melting Pot Restaurant. We made reservations and were seated after just a couple minutes having a drink at the bar. Our server was excellent and explained all of our options for dining to us so that we couldn't wait to try everything. We went with the Four Course Menu. We started with our... More

The Melting Pot is one our favorites. We've been eating there for 20 years (starting with the one inRockville and moving to Towson when they opened there). It is a fondue restaurant and that alone is an experience. The food is great. The ambiance is wonderful. We usually start with a cheese fondue for an appetizer. Then move to a... More

Took our elementary aged children here and they had a blast. The service was excellent and we were all satisfied at the end of the meal. We ordered 2 portions of the 4 course meals and that was plenty for the four of us. We would definitely go back.
