On 11/29 we celebrated my wife's birthday at the Melting Pot on Blanco Road (14855) and we were lucky to have had Allison (Ali) as our server. We eat out often and to have someone as good as she is a blessing. She was efficient,...knowledgeable, and pleasant. The restaurant is lucky to have someone like her.More
Our reservation was at 7pm. The inept receptionists, three of them, said they weren’t ready and offered the bar to wait with two children in our party. The manager came out and told a lady in tight pants that our table for seven was unavailable...because the party before us was still there. She was in a party of three. He totally ignored us— the true party of seven. He ran the occupying patrons off and then escorted the lady in tight pants(party of three to our table)at which point he realized his mistake and came back to tell us our table would be ready soon. At 7:25 we were seated. Our waitress did a good job but the manager and incompetent receptionist were a total disaster. We never saw the manager with eyes for tight pants again. I don’t think I’ll be frequenting The Melting Pot again.More
This was an awesomely unexpected experience for my date and I. It’s a neat concept to dip and cook your savory foods and sweet foods. The service and food was great.
Excellent! If I had room, I would have eaten all 4 courses and then started over. Didn’t want it to end. We ordered: Fiesta Cheese. Best dipper was the pretzel pieces. House salads can’t be beat. I did the create your own entree with chicken,...Memphis pork & filet. Wasn’t a fan of the pork, but the other two made up. Used the Bourgonyone (I know I spelled that wrong but don’t hate). We like our food fried in oil, we r from south Louisiana lol. Ying Yang with Milk Chocolate and white chocolate for dessert. Amazing! Can’t wait to go back!More
My husband and I enjoyed waiting for our table at the bar. The table service was superb and the food was so good. It was a great menu to choose from and we enjoyed having the choices.
A must-go place! It's not your ordinary type of restaurant, just a super nice place w/ different choices of fondues (entrees and desserts).
We originally had other plans in SA, but our car broke down on the way up and it made us several hours later than we originally anticipated. There were only a few options that popped up for places that were going to be open late...for dinner. I made a reservation for 10PM on our (second) drive up and upon arrival we were greeted warmly and provided a happy birthday card. They couldn't have had more than an hour or so notice so kudos for checking guys. It was very much appreciated after such a long ordeal. My fiance had never done fondue so I thought this would be a great experience for him and it was. From the fancy cheese, to the fresh salad, fun making cooking our own entrees and finally the delicious dark chocolate with goodies at the end...the whole thing was awesome. I dont often review chain restaurants but this place was legit. We had a great time with great food and left very very full. I can't remember the name of our server, but he was great! Very knowledgeable and accommodating and didn't make us feel like a burden even though we were there after closing time. If I lived closer we'd definitely be back. P.S. - to those complaining about cooking your own food...do you know what fondue is? Have you heard of Google? Geez people, get a grip. This is a very fun place and all the "cooking" you do is stick your choice bite size piece of food into liquid that is prepared for you.More
We went just out of curiosity and absolutely loved it. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable, and helped us make great selections that I don’t regret one bit! We will definitely be back soon.
The staff is always great and the food? One of my favorites! The fruit, veggies and bread are always fresh, the meats always wonderful. I love that we spend approx. 1.5 hours here. It gives us plenty of time to reconnect over dinner, taking the...time to slow down and enjoy. The wine selection is good also.More
I've been wanting to try this restaurant for years and my hubby gave me a gift card for Valentines to try it out for a date night. We made a reservation and we were seated at the dirtiest table. We asked the hostess when she...passed by to wipe the seats so we could sit and then she turned to a passing waiter to ask him to clean it. It took at least 10 minutes for the seat to be wiped. During that uncomfortable amount of time, we really looked at the table and pot. It was filthy. The waiter finally came and wiped it down and he was sweating like a pig and out of breath trying to explain the menu. Let me tell you that sent red flags. When the waiter left I asked my husband if we could just use the gift card for drinks and we did. Unfortunately, the bar drinks were watered down. We left and went to another restaurant. I won't go back!More
