Terrible. Waitress wasn’t friendly and overcharged us even though I showed a screenshot of the price. Food portions were very small. Cheese was bland…no flavor at all. She was supposed to bring my friend some gluten free things and never did. Strawberries were frozen solid....Chocolate was lukewarm at best. We were literally starving when we left and had to eat again after our show.More

We love doing the dinner and show tickets with the Midtown location. We make it a family event to get dressed up , enjoy dinner, and a show at the Fox. This year we did the Grinch Musical and it was so fun to have...the Grinch show up at the restaurant. He never broke character- he was really, really good. We very much enjoyed his antics!More

I brought my staff to the Melting Pot for our Christmas party before we went to the Fox theater to see the Grinch. While we were waiting a homeless man walked in and the owner / manager immediately began to scream at him to leave....He said I am just here to see my friend - pointing to the hostess. I just want some mints. The owner said no you can have one mint but then you to need to leave - you don’t belong here. He politely left and wished her a merry Christmas. We were all very shocked and embarrassed by the whole situation and could not believe how horribly the manager was towards this person. She really made herself look like a terrible person. If we hadn’t had to go to the Fox at 7 - we would have left. I don’t think I will be back to the restaurant because of the way they treat people.More

Yeah, first we received an email telling us that Friendsgiving was on Mondays. I went to make a reservation for our nearest and most trusted Melting Pot in Duluth but theirs specifically said Wed. Wed don't work for our schedule so we decided to try...the ATL once more (as our first two experiences downtown were awful when we lived down there). So I went on THEIR website and apparently should have taken a screenshot, it said Mondays but of course on Monday when we were there for the deal it no longer stated Mondays. Not only did I read it but two of my friends just to make sure. We showed up and after going through our waiter, the manager and then the GM (good heavens can no one make a decision at this place?) they said, nope sorry you can't prove it. So yeah the rest of the visit was tempered with that disappointment. Then they didn't have most the things every other Melting Pot we've been to across the US from Seattle down to Georgia could not/ would not make. It was SO disappointing but I really should've expected it. It was exactly as it was when we lived downtown about 5 years ago. They do not stretch themselves for the customer at all at this location. I have been to Melting pots for the last 20years almost monthly. I will make sure EVERY I speak to chooses, Duluth or Savannah because this is hands down THE WORST Melting Pot I've EVER been to in any state we've ever lived in.More

We were looking for an upscale dinner experience but were surprised with a subpar server and an okay meal. From out wait at an empty restaurant, the server basically reading the menu to us but not knowing the answer to extremely basic questions, and extremely...long wait times in between checking on us we will never be back to this location. Thing as simple as asking us to point at the beer we ordered on the menu so they could find it on their mobile POS was rather telling. We were there for almost 3 hours - I get fondue obviously takes a while, but couples that came in after us were long gone by the time we got out of there. After every course we had to awkwardly wait like 15 minutes for our server to come check on us. Once it finally came time to pay and we provided the card it was rather off-putting that she popped the card in the POS and handed it to us and said tip is included and 25% was preselected. Do not waste your time.More

My girlfriend really enjoyed her birthday here. They were the best when accommodating with her allergies. She had a blast. Jeanette our server made sure everything was perfect and made great recommendations. The only downside was the seating was very dark where we were sat....The whole staff was excellent and very friendly, but Jeanette didn't miss a beat. We were the last to leave the restaurant and were treated like royalty until we left.More

There were six of us, and we got the complete meal for two (times three). My favorite appetizer was dipping the apples into the Wisconsin Cheese, but dipping any of the breads, fruits or veggies into that, or the Spinach/Artichoke...well, it was all amazing. Then...the really good salads came out, but I was looking forward to more fondue fun. Cooking our own steak in the Mojo was so good, but I think that possibly my favorite was stuffing a large mushroom cap with Green Goddess and then covering it in batter and bread crumbs and frying it in the oil. Just thinking about that....yum. But wait, then comes the best part - the dessert. We got plates full of good (bananas, pineapple, strawberries) and evil (marshmallows, rice crispy treats, brownies, etc.), and then we dipped that into our two chocolate fondues: dark chocolate and the flaming turtle. It was a super great night. Our server was as fantastic as the food and the atmosphere. For us it's kinda pricy, but this was a special celebration, and well worth it.More

Valentines weekend. The food was good but expensive. They need to invest in secure parking lot for their patrons upon leaving several cars were broken into a couple in our party was one of them. A car was stolen and personal property. The police were...nonchalant like this was a regular issue and even stated it more of them than us. The corner lot took our money but didn’t give receipts and didn’t care. Beware. Be careful where you park.More
