We LOVE the Melting Pot! There is no better place to celebrate your special occasion or special date night! While you’re there ask for Al he’s the best server you can have at the Melting Pot he has helped us on multiple trips and we...couldn’t be happier with his service! He makes the experience a great one and we always look forward to seeing him! This place is freshly remodeled top to bottom and the service is some how even better than before! Don’t pass this one up!More

Hubby and I went out for just a good night out and decided upon The Melting Pot… our server Justin Ramey was wonderful and could not have asked for a nicer, more helpful gentleman. The food was delicious with all the extra items to dip...we could wish for! Such a wonderful place for food, atmosphere, and service. Can’t wait to go back again!More

The Melting Pot is a fun experience where you take your time and cook your own food in fondue pots. The food itself is decent and plentiful, albeit quite expensive. The entire staff was wonderful, friendly and courteous. Our server, Jasmine W. was one of...the best we have ever had anywhere. We were celebrating our anniversary, which they asked me about when I made the reservation. They gave us complimentary champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and brought me two long stemmed roses. We really enjoyed our evening.More

We came here to celebrate our college graduation and our engagement, food was fantastic. Jasmine, our server, was great and even brought us a tray congratulating us with little caps of graham crackers. Great food and great service!

So... we had two recent experiences at Melting Pot. The first was a date night for just the two of us and it was ot great. Server was visibly annoyed and didnt bother to walk us through the menu at all. Borderline rude. THEN another...server same out and took over and gave us an.... unsavory explanation of his belly issues. NOT something you want to think of when you're cooking your own raw foods. Called and discussed with manager who appropriately shared my concern at what happened. Made ALL the proper amends with a VERY generous gift card in the mail, which we used to take our kids and it was fantastic. Server with the best personality and so much enthusiasm to make the experience great for all of us. Manager stopped by to apologize and even brought us some delicious "extras" by way of a charcuterie board and some "thank you" chocolate covered strawberries. Any server or restaurant can have an "off night". To me, it has everything to do with their response and how they handle the second time. For this reason I'll definitely be back.More
