The Melting Pot

My first time at melting pot and it was really fun! We had an amazing server who gave great suggestions and brought everything out quickly. We came for happy hour which allowed us to get their chocolate fondues and drinks discounted.

We were a group of seven and got 2 savory and 2 sweet fondues. Starting with savory we got the spinach artichoke and classic alpine. Both were really good but I liked the spinach artichoke the best. For dessert we got the original and s'mores fondue. S'mores was so good and the assortment to dip in the fondue was great.

Overall I had a great experience and loved the variety available for fondue.

This was my first time at Melting Pot ever! Made the wise decision to come during restaurant week, and my friends and I had the best time!

Our server Malik was amazing! So helpful and patient with us as It was our first time and we needed some explaining.

We had three courses. The cheese fondue was to die for. Malik made It at the table in front of us. We got the classic alpine. We devoured this with the bread, veggies, and apples It comes with. We also ordered a bottle of the house red for the table which paired well with the cheese.

Next you get to pick from salad options. The caprese salad was a solid choice.

At this point I could feel myself getting really full, but I pushed through!

Next up was the proteins. You get to pick from four. My favorite was definitely the teriyaki sirloin and the mushroom sacchetti. We chose to cook It Coq Au Vin style. A great choice. Came with eight different dipping sauces and extra veggies.

Of course we couldn't say no to the dessert. This was incredible. S'mores style fondue chocolate dip with everything from Rice Krispy treats to strawberries to brownies to dip It in.

We left so full, but I already can't wait to come back! Next time I would probably be satisfied with just the cheese and chocolate! It's a lot of food, but if you've never had a Melting Pot experience you should definitely check It out!

Today was a sad and devastating day for my family and I. My husband insisted on taking the family to dinner but had the slightest clue where he wanted to go. My daughter suggested "the place where they cook in front of you", and my husband suggested The Melting Pot. This was my daughter, my son, and I first time experiencing The Melting Pot. When our server comes over I'm sure that we seemed unsure of what we wanted to drink however we all laughed and moved forward with the experience. The young man comes back with the drinks for my daughter, son, and husband. I at this point order a beverage from the bar and we proceed to order. During the process my husband and I BOTH make it very clear that we (as a family) DO NOT EAT PORK NOR SHELLFISH. The young man acknowledges our request.The cheese comes out and everything is great. He comes to the table with salads that are obviously not what we orderd. We do not make a big deal because we ( my husband and I ) both work in the restaurant industry so we understand that things happen.The young man then corrects his mistake after we inform him and then he brings out the correct salads. As dinner goes on the experience is well and my family is having an amazing time. The main course is brought to the table and my husband makes a NO PORK joke and the young man says "yes sir no pork". My family and I are excited to dig in, however as we are eating my husband realizes that we ordered salmon but we have no salmon. My husband informs the young man he looks at the plate as if we are asking for something we did not order. The young man then proceeded and say" no problem I can bring you a few pieces". The salmon comes out and we continue to enjoy our dinner. My husband cooks a peice of meat(PORK) and we taste it together. At that moment  the night went from amazing to hell. My family has not had pork in over two decades.  My husband and feel like the meat doesn't taste like the rest or anything that we are use to eating. We call the young man over and ask him to identify the meat for us and he states that it is sirloin. Now I am no Melting Pot employee however I can read. The pork comes with a Memphis dry rub and the type of sirloin that we ordered comes with sesame seeds. My husband at this point asks to speak with a manager. While waiting my husband sees another employee in passing and asks her to identify the meat and indeed she says that the meat is in fact pork. This is a very devastating point in our lives especially because of our religious views. It is very disturbing that my family had to go through this especially after taking the proper precautions. The negligence is unacceptable and the establishment MUST take more pride in their training process. Especially when it comes to food knowledge. My family and I now how to go to great lengths after having dinner ruined and now being impelled  to be unclean. For this being our first encounter with The Melting Pot I am some what disgusted and disappointed all at the same time. I honestly hope and pray that this situation may help that young man gain some understanding when it comes to the guest that patronize the establishment that helps him keep his lights on.

Shalom.

Great service and food. We had the alpine cheese, fondue with mojo seasoning, and dark chocolate and all were delicious with vegetables to make the meal lighter.

This was a great date night location. We had a nice cozy booth for just the 2 of us! After a satisfying dinner we enjoyed the Yin and Yang chocolate dessert.

Service is great, parking is a bit of a walk in case you are wearing heels LOL!

Live roach  in our meal. Made reservations to celebrate my twin daughter belated birthday. Service was extremely slow, we arrived for 6:30 pm and left at 9:08 pm without finishing our dessert course because there was a roach in our food. The manager was apologetic and gave us a discount but we were extremely upset as it was alive and crawling in our food, luckily we noticed it even though the lighting was dim.

Pros - We were seated before our reservation, the food was delicious, and the waiter brought us extra dippers when needed.

Cons - The price for the entrees is high for the portion given. Also, the waiter didn't clear our table as we went so it got very crowded.

Overall - This was my first time and I will go back, but only for special occasions since it is so highly priced. I recommend this restaurant.

Amazing! The service was excellent. Keith was the bomb.com!!! Thank you. Will come again.

I will admit that we are WAY BEHIND on the fondue train.

Chocolate or cheese you really can't go wrong! While I'm not a fan of reviewing franchised establishments on the regular, the experience itself is worth raving (and writing) about!

A huge word to the wise, if you want an actual full dinner, don't get your hopes up. The servings tend to run on the small all in all. The main (and only reason) you come here is the activity itself. And the ability to get close to your date over something a little warm :)

Came here for restaurant week and had the most amazing dinner! The cheese fondue was devine and exactly what I needed. The the entree was also great, although the meat and veggies where a little bland.the best part was the s'mores chicky fondue that was absolutely delectable. Will definitely be back.
