We had the unfortunate opportunity to be served by your server Rodney who surprised me in his incredible lack of competence as a server. People come to your restaurant on a quest to get a taste of France, an experience only you can offer. It...was my Birthday and I chose your restaurant specifically for that reason and was sorely disappointed. The food was amazing but the terrible service completely took away our ability to appreciate it. We had lots of questions and Rodney had no sensible answers making it obvious he was untrained and unknowledgeable. Drinks took over an hour and the meal was 3 hours. A complete waist of money!!! They charged us over $200 for 7 double shots! Just do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else! If I could choose zero stars I wouldMore

We went to celebrate a belated birthday, and were served by Owen and Cassidy (whose first day it was), and they were a blast! Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. The owners were very nice.

We were not sure what to expect. I mean dipping everything in cheese? No, absolutely not. We had Jovanna as our server, she walked us through the entire process, made great recommendations, and we had such an amazing time we can't wait to go back!...Our food was delicious, even leftovers the next day were flavorful and fantastic. I would love to make athis a bi-weekly affair, but i don't ever want to get bored of it! So, maybe every other month for now. It's a bit pricey, but the quality is there.More

I would like to communicate how disappointed and unprofessional I am with The Melting Pot. My wife and I were very excited to have our favorite time of the year, Valentines Day at the restaurant. We have eaten at the restaurant celebrating this day for...many years. Not only having made my reservation 3.5 weeks ago and for seating in the area known as "lovers lane", the host that I talked to when making this reservation said there were no problems accommodating my desires since I called so early. I decided to confirm my resetvation today (3.5 weeks later), and they communicated yes I had a reservation but they could not guarantee my seating preference. VERY DIDDAPOINTING FOR ME BUT EDPECCIALLT MY WIFE. I will never go to this place again! Since under new management this year, the place has gone downhill!More

I was there with family as a gift to my grand neice. It was a nice experience. The only problem was trying to understand the menu. It was confusing and our waiter had to explain it a couple of times. We had to asked twice...for more water, tea, soda, and boxes. Place was not that busy.More

We had a wonderful 4 course meal at the Melting Pot. Our server, Olivia, gave us just the right amounts of alone time between the courses. She was so helpful explaining each course and what she was making at the table. The Wisconsin Trio was...good, a little onion-ey, but still yummy, we'll probably will go back to the Wisconsin Cheddar next time. The Strawberry Almond Salad was amazing! Our entree meats were prepared wonderfully, I recommend the Teriyaki Sirloin, my husband says the Cajun Filet Mingon. We decided on the Flaming Turtle for the chocolate course, you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Melting Pot, for making our 11th Anniversary the best one yet!More
