Description: Situated in the hub of Queen Anne, the Mercer St. location provides a casually elegant, intimate atmosphere. The relaxing 4 course experience begins with cheese fondue prepared tableside. Fresh salad follows while your entrée pot heats up. You’ll simmer a variety of tantalizing meats, seafood, & vegetables. Each morsel is hot, fresh, & flavorful. Entrees are accompanied by an array of dipping sauces to add to the fun. Your choice of chocolate fondue is the grand finale, served with a variety of delicious dippers. Many have stopped by to satisfy that fondue craving after a concert at The Key, an Opera at McCaw Hall, or a family outing at the Seattle Center. We feature an extensive wine list, fresh trendy cocktails, & specialty martinis. It’s the perfect place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, overdue date night, family night, or a group gathering!

I was not happy with my visit. I should have read other reviews outside of TA. If you really want to go, then go and I hope it works for you. I should have known something was up when the place is half empty.

Before this visit, I had never been to The Melting Pot. I knew a little of what to expect, though. I had the 4 course experience with the cheddar cheese, salad, land and sea with the vegetable broth and the smores desert. I felt like I got mainly veggies with a little meat. The food was good but I'm not... More

Arrived at Melting Pot on a Thursday night at 10pm and finished at midnight. We were probably the only couple in the restaurant but at no time, did we feel rushed and our server, Louis, was accommodating throughout. He's the only reason I rated the restaurant higher. Fiance and I both had the 4 course experience. Traditional Swiss fondue with... More

Four of us shared the WI four cheese fondue. their wine selection with happy hour was good, several reds and whites. local and a really good malbec from Argentina. The location and actual facility were very cool. I loved the layout of the bar area, Service from the bartender was mediocre, he... More

My second time to a melting pot. It was as good as the first. Our server was very nice and the manager stopped to check on us. I love the ambiance and the food.

Third trip to the Melting Pot. Quality of food and atmosphere is tough to beat, although we waited 2.75 hours for our dinner, the salads and appetizers kept us from flipping tables out of hunger. It is an experience, dont go if your in a hurry or wanting to eat anytime soon on busy Fri/Sat nights......

This is a deliciously fun step back in time. The ambiance is such that one expects the Rat Pack to appear suddenly at the bar. Dark woods, old music make a really nice start to one's experience. The food, while a bit pricey, is delicious and I've never had a bad server experience. Fun to have fondue and eat tasty... More

Finally made it to the Melting Pot after wanting to try this place for years. I was a little worried after reading many negative reviews. I can see that with the labor intensive set up of the meals, the wait staff can make or break the experience. I am glad that we gave the place a chance because the experience... More

First course was pretty good, we had the cheddar cheese fondu. Next was salad and both mine and my husbands salads came out with rotten lettuce and very large wedges of cabbage. We did not get the air of professionalism from the waitstaff and didn't feel comfortable sending it back. Dinner was less then mediocre. We had Pacific Rim in... More

We went here after the Nutcracjer and it was just about to close. We almost turned away but a really nice server welcomed us in and even let us have extra fruits and whatnot for desert seeing as they were just gonna be thrown away. He was super funny and the place was really clean, I love the environment there:)... More
