We’ve been to many melting pots, almost always a great experience, that’s why we go back. This location was just ok. Servers timing was good, we didn’t wait too long between each course, personality just wasn’t there. Food was so good. What was weird was...just the employees just running around and acting unprofessional while trying to enjoy an expensive romantic dinner. It was the ambiance that was just annoying and honestly we didn’t enjoy ourselves because of this. The hostess was running around with the bus boy, laughing and just being immature. We were sitting at a table near this door…and employees kept going in and out of it to go outside. The door was loud and they kept it cracked open so light came in and messed up our lighting. It was just a complete distraction and the employees had no regard for us sitting near by. There was also no music at all, we played our own music on my phone just to try to drown out background noise. 140$ down the drain!More

Everything is fantastic from the cheeses to the fresh veggies and breads to the delicious entree’s! The mushroom entree, and the duck were my favorite. The filet and tuna were also fantastic. The s’mores fondue is to die for! Our server was great too!

We were a party of 7 in a separate room and originally it was quiet and it was still difficult to hear our server. It really got bad when a table of about 8-10 teenagers were seated in the room. From then on it was...really difficult to hear anything as they were laughing, giggling and singing John Denver tunes. Our waitress was under qualified for a table of 7...she moved too quick, stirring and spilling, taking up plates without asking, spoke too softly. The cheese and chocolate courses were good, salads good as well. The meat I had was bland and only edible because of the sauces...although I only ate a few pieces of each meat. I would only return for the cheese fondue and dessert fondue.More

I met friends at the Gaithersburg Melting Pot for an early dinner. As a group, we've gone to multiple MP locations. This one was a stand out in a good way. Probably the only negative was that it was so dark inside. We all had...to use the flashlights on our phones to see the menu. On to the good... Our table was handled by Kelcey. She was fabulous. She was funny, prompt, and helpful. I've probably been to MP at least 10 times and never had a server who was so good. She was even helpful with the child in our party. We ordered the bourbon bacon cheddar cheese, which is only available at a few locations. It's something I'd love to have every night. We selected the "choose your own" entrees, since we each like different items. I had the chicken breast and three different types of beef. The garlic sirloin and peppercorn filet were especially good. We had the original chocolate (milk chocolate with crunchy peanut butter). That's always a pleasant finish to a good meal. Kelcey offered to split our check without our asking, which was great. We have reservations here for this coming weekend. I hope Kelcey will be our server!More

My husband surprised me for our wedding anniversary. We've been to one in Myrtle beach (which is great) but not to this one. Dylan was our server and did an excellent job. He answered questions and very helpful. The food was delicious as usual. It's...a bit pricey but definitely worth it for special occasions.More

My daughter had her B-day party and it turned out to be a great choice - a) affordable for a full menu and less expensive than dining here on the regular menu - b) you get plenty of food and seconds if you need and...a full 3 courses with drinks - c) friendly staff. The manager made it a point to stop by first and then twice later - the waiter was great and made things super flexible when needed (spicy broth replaced with oil for main course, etc.). The standouts are the cheese and chocolate fondue - the main course isn't as great - but that's the only negative.More

I had the time of my life with the funniest waiter I've ever had in my life. His name was Jose and he is a Latin version of John Candy, the Canadian actor from the '80s. What a funny guy! Jose made the meal for...us. Believe me, some servers don't know how to serve but Jose will take care of you. The cute Asian waitress was very helpful, too. Food was outstanding and drinking a Melting Pot Mule was so delicious. If you're looking to have a good time, this is the place to go. Make sure you ask for Jose and have fun!More

Had the original cheese, split the spinach salad and the milk chocolate. Meat would be too much. Service was perfect

My girlfriend and I went here to celebrate a romantic night out. Our server (Logan) was amazing. The food, the service, and the atmosphere of the place really made this a romantic evening for us. The rose petals and candles were an especially nice touch....This place is typically out of my price range. However, due to the fantastic experience I had here, I will definitely be making another reservation here very soon!More
