    Classic Alpine*
    Naz Z.

    This was such a fun birthday and date night spot! The location is beautiful and they had free parking during the week for us. Our server was very kind and attentive, he seemed to be rushing us to get our orders in but not to actually clean and leave, so that was odd, but at the same time, he was great on checking in and also for the things we took to go, he brought all new sauces for us. The food itself was delicious and such a unique experience. I think the meat section is a lot like hot pot or kbbq and if that's your style, you'll love it, but I don't really like cooking my own meats, so I let my boyfriend take over. It was cool to experience, but I think in the future, I'd go just for cheese and chocolate. Both of those courses were the stars of the show. I cannot recommend dark and dulce enough, that dark chocolate was to DIE FOR!!!! We didn't care for the salads, but since we were doing the 4 courses, it came with it. Lastly, highly recommend signing up for rewards because for your birthday you get 6 free chocolate covered strawberries. They were great. It's expensive but I believe it was well worth it, we left so full. And, if you do just cheese or chocolate, it's not that pricey.

    I had always wanted to try Melting Pot and I have to say.. I was so impressed. I freaking LOVED IT!! Went on Mother's Day with my family and it was such a fun experience. The service was great (our waiter's name was Felipe), the place was clean and nicely decorated, and the food was 10/10. I'd go every day if I could.

    This place was so much fun. Plan to spend about 3 hours if you get the four courses because it's a lottttt of food and a lot that goes into each course. Great date night spot. Come hungry! I asked in our reservation to sit in a private booth as I heard from other people those are the better tables if u don't want to be near a lot of other people. They sat us in the back. It was nice. Service was amazing. Server had to explain how everything works bc it's a lottttt. We chose to do the Best of Melting Pot 4-Course. $125 for two people. Just note it's A LOT of food. We left stuffed. Note - you can get unlimited refills of the fixings that come with the cheese and dessert. To start, we opted for the hot honey alpine cheese. Very good. We then picked our own salads. I got the Strawberry pecan and bf got the Caesar. Both good. Ok at this point I was full and still had entrees and dessert coming! Entrees - We went with the Mojo cooking style and the create your own and you each pick 3 proteins. I got the Sesame-Crusted Ahi Tuna, herb chicken breast and shrimp. Bf got the Garlic Pepper Steak, Atlantic Salmon and Memphis Dry Rub Pork. Proteins come with a variety of sauces which were all delicious and fun to try. They give you a QR code to scan to tell you how long to cook each protein. This took a long time to cook everything and you have to keep track with different timers. It was fun though! Lastly, we got the S'mores chocolate fondue. Delicious. Our waiter was so nice. I'm gluten free so he brought me out a special tray of gluten free fixings for the cheese and dessert. I wish I remembered his name. Very outgoing guy. When I come back I would probably just do the cheese and chocolate knowing how much food the four courses are. It was a really nice evening though. Would recommend coming.

    It was amazing! My husband paid for the package and they decorated the table with roses, a picture frame and chocolate covered strawberries. They took a picture of us for our 21st wedding anniversary and put it in the frame. The service was excellent. It was interactive and fun. I don't eat meat and thru accommodated me. I had lobster and shrimp it was delicious. Sorry no pics of that my hands were occupied.

    Had Saturday night reservations to celebrate my 4th birthday with family. There was 5 of us. (This was in the beginning of June, there were obvious kinks to still work out as they had recently opened) Our server was friendly and the cooking process was explained well. Wish that the cook times could have been brought to us on a card or little menu instead of being told to look at them on our phones. Pretty pricy, but you're also paying for the experience (even though you are actually cooking your own food..) Drinks could have been stronger. The atmosphere was HOT. I know, there are literal boiling pots on the table in front of me, but I wish it was cooler. Would try again.

    We thought all of these were closed a pleasant surprise to find one in New Haven! Delicious always unique experience. This new location is great lovely ambiance and our server Angelina was fantastic sweet and attentive.

    Went here to celebrate passing the bar with my girlfriend and our dog. We sat outside--the only thing I would maybe suggest is putting a gate up so there is more separation between the dining and the sidewalk. However, with that being said our experience was fantastic. The food was great, the drinks were great, and we even got to meet the in-house magician Brian! He was so lovely. And our server Megan was so kind, easy to talk to, and really made the experience great for us. She also loved on our pup which was so sweet. We will definitely be back!!

    I have been to this location a few times with my one best friend and each time it was a great experience! Especially last night. We sat at the bar, had the white peach cosmos(AMAZING) and they had a promotion for free cheese fondue which of course we took advantage of. Our bartender was amazing as well as managers walking around ensuring everything was to our liking. It was decently busy but not loud to the point I couldn't hear my conversation. Plus they have FREE valet parking!! We ended the night with chocolate fondue & some dessert cocktails. Will definitely be back AGAIN.

    The new Melting Pot in New Haven is definitely worth checking out for a great meal and experience. We came on a Saturday night for dinner, and it didn't disappoint. Cheese fondue first course, we went with the cheddar, so good, plenty of snacks to dip from different types of bread, to veggies and fruits. Main course we did the pick 3, shrimp, chicken, and potstickers were mine, lobster tail and filet were also delicious. Its a cook it yourself entree and the new grill option is great, hifgly recommend. Desert was of course chocolate fondue that you get an unlimited assortment of cookies, brownies, fruits, rice krispy treats and more. Drinks were good. Waitress was excellent. It's an experience, so be ready for it to take a few hours. Inside is brand new and beautifully done. They also have valet service which is great for new haven. We will definitely be back soon!!

    I had an absolute BLAST at my favorite restaurant, The Melting Pot, where I had my birthday dinner. Dianna, our server, was lovely. She attended to every one of our needs: describing flavor profiles of ingredients, addressing concerns about allergens, creating custom mocktails, explaining the cooking process to the newcomers in my group - the whole nine yards!!!!! She was kind, personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and patient with our many questions!!! The kitchen and waitstaff were appreciative of our business and stopped over to check on us. The menu was fairly extensive for a fondue restaurant and left me in awe of how creative the staff was in curating a custom, allergen-free meal for me! I wasn't missing the broth whatsoever after enjoying their substitution. The food was fresh, flavorful, AND creative!!! Beyond that, they were so kind about giving me extra gorgonzola cream sauce. They even gifted me an Iron Man cape to celebrate my birthday after sticking a sparkler in a halved tomato for me (I despise fruit, so that was their creative solution that had me laughing for 5 solid minutes). Bryan was the resident Saturday night magician who dazzled us with his tricks. We still have no idea how he did them! He was super friendly, funny, and engaging. Finally, the space is beautiful! I love the fire feature and open floor plan! I can go on and on and on about how much I love this place. DEFINITELY stop in and enjoy their food and cocktails!!!!! Make sure to see DIANNA and CARLOS!!!!!!

Always consistent with friendly service…read more The ambience is upscale vibe and I like how your tables are kind of blocked off from the other tables so it feels intimate.

There was too much food (to be dipped) in comparison to the amount of cheese fondue provided, thus I do feel like free refills should be a thing. 4/5 spinach artichoke cheese fondue- quite heavy on the garlic, but not too overwhelming, comes with a tray of regular bread, pretzel bread, broccoli, peppers, grapes, grape tomatoes & green apple. I dipped everything except the broccoli & grapes. 3/5 watermelon cooler $10- not really a soda fan, thus hard for me to rate anything carbonated above a 3, wish it was a bit less sweet but decent otherwise, you can def taste the watermelon 3/5 Caprese- balsamic is too strong, good otherwise 5/5 pure dark chocolate fondue- prefer a bit darker & a bit less sweet but still amazing, comes with pound cake, brownies, Rice Krispies treats, fried marshmallow, banana, & tart strawberry.

It was quite steep, but since other local restaurants were booked, we decided to keep our reservation. I had been eager to return after several years, remembering previous excellent experiences. Because it was the Valentine's Day menu, it wasn't representative of their usual offerings. I missed the unique dishes they normally feature, but overall, it was still a pleasant evening. I had hoped to try their Arctic Char, but ended up with the salmon from the special menu. We started with an amuse-bouche of deviled eggs, which were fine. The ricotta appetizer was outstanding, with bright hints of lemon zest and balsamic, while the zucchini and carrots were less memorable. The salmon was enjoyable, though not my favorite dish, and I heard the steak was well-prepared. For dessert, the pistachio cake was tasty, though slightly dry, and was served with a pistachio and chocolate gelato. Overall, it was a decent experience, but quite pricey for the quality. I'm giving Zinc a 4-star rating, taking into account my past visits, which were quite good.

We saw her only when she brought out our food, and never checked on us again. But she was nice so I'm cutting her a little bit of slack. The hostesses, though, were not so kind. When we went up to the stand, they practically ignored us and took their sweet time talking with each other before trying to seat us. It was just frustrating to watch.
