    Made reservations for birthday. Server was very friendly and helpful. Food tasted great and there was a lot of it. I expected to be there for a bit but there were also lots of time we were waiting for our server. The restaurant wasn’t busy (2 other tables) and our waters were never refilled and we sat for at least 10-15 min each time we were done w a course waiting for the server to notice.

    We brought our eight year-old granddaughter for her birthday, and everything was fabulous! We had not been to the restaurant in many years, and found the food, service, and atmosphere to be fabulous! The best review, is that as we were leaving, she said she wanted to return!

    We love coming here for special occasions. We were so happy to be able to get a 2-burner stove for our group. Total for 5 w drinks and a tip was $345 but for a special occasion we don’t mind.

    Assume $300-$400 for a party of 5 adults before any bar tab. Usually outstanding service but this time was mediocre (drinks not refilled promptly, accidental balloon delivery ordered ahead of time but delivered to the wrong table, not attentive to table requests). Not sure but food portion sizes in the past year seem to have decreased at this location which you wouldn’t expect for the price.

    This is the place if you're looking for fondue and/or a quiet and romantic atmosphere. The four-course offering is both sumptuous and fun from the opening cheese to the decadent chocolate. Service is very attentive.

    The restaurant was very busy, with a lot of people taking advantage of the free 4-course for veterans on Veterans Day. Despite that, they achieved their usual level of awesomeness. They handled our special requests easily, were attentive and friendly, and got everything to the table in a timely manner.

    Food was delicious and service was amazing! Server was so kind as we hadn’t been to a Melting Pot in several years. She answered all of our questions, even repeats, going through all of the menu selections and never got annoyed.

    Limited allowance for additional dippers with chocolate, which is a new policy. Extra chocolate remained, we have 5 people in our party and was not adequate for our group.
