    We have been to a few other Melting Pot locations and have always had good experiences. At the Arlington location though, we did NOT feel like it was worth the money or time. Some of the tables had burners that didn't work and some had (after market) burners on top of the tables instead of built in. There were some things that seemed worn and just did not seem well-cared for in addition to the mis-matched tables. We called ahead to ask about the wait and they told us it would probably be less than 10-15 minutes. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Friday night but they were not busy at all and we were sat right away. In fact, it was pretty dead so we were confused about the answer we received on the phone. The host lacked a little friendliness, but not a big deal. We thought it was odd that even though it wasn't busy, they put us back in the far corner of the restaurant. Our server was a lot of fun, although I was uncomfortable at times. You know when you are having fun joking with someone but they seem to take it too far? I feel like there is a difference between a server being down to earth, cracking jokes and having fun verses carrying things over the line, making the experience uncomfortable. Overall the server was very knowledgeable and made sure we had everything we needed. They are definitely good at their job, I was just uncomfortable. Again, the restaurant was not busy yet the time between courses seemed slower than expected. I expected it to take a while as that is part of the experience, but time between courses just seemed to drag. The food was tasty, although I feel like for the price, it was lacking. For example, the cheese fondue came with plenty of bread, but each couple only got like 2 pieces of broccoli, 4 grapes, 3 tomatoes, etc. We probably could have asked for more, there were just lots of little things that all added up to a disappointing evening. I would not return to this location considering the bill was $392 for 4 people; we did not feel like the experience was worth even half of what we spent.

    We went to The Melting Pot for Mother's Day & had a great experience! We had reservations & were seated promptly upon arrival! The staff were awesome & explained everything as it was my mom's first visit! They had a special Mother's Day menu that we were made aware of at booking, so there were no surprises on the menu! The food was delicious, but the atmosphere & experience made the day special! The restaurant was clean & our waiter was the best! Gratuity was included in the special menu, but he was so good we didn't mind tipping extra! I wish I could remember his name! Thank you for the experience!

    We cannot thank The Melting Pot enough for an anniversary dinner. On our actual anniversary in April, I had a seizure during dinner and Tara and the entire staff made me feel safe and offered a redo. Tara and team, you have the most wonderful & beautiful souls. Thank you for the redo and the laughs! Yall are absolutely amazing!!!!!!

    This was our first time coming to this business. We always knew what type of dining it was, but never took the time to go, mainly since our only child was still quite young and wasn't able and willing to enjoy it. That day finally came and my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, too. First off, (please take note to the management) our waitress was very informative, kind, patient, and willing to make our dining experience the best it could be. I really appreciate people who take the time, to listen to the customer, and are sincere to their needs and wants. Our server (Cream H) did all of that and really made our dinner be as pleasant as it can be. Our son (10yo) really enjoyed it as well. I really hope the management there really holds on to her. She is a shining star and does her job incredibly well. Second, the food is great. I felt the variety and servings were perfect. We did the four course diner and found it to be really fun. It was like reading a book or watching a movie. An adventure, an experience that is not something you get to do every day. Third, the dining areas were great as well. I had a feeling the tables would have some form of heating, but it wasn't very obtrusive. I would be cautious having young children though with curious hands. I'd have to say though, our server was the leading star of the show. You could tell she knew what to suggest and she did well. She earned a well deserved tip. Thank you, Cream!

    Outstanding Service! We had an excellent experience thanks to our waiter, Rob. From the moment we were seated, they were warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcomed. They checked on us often without being intrusive and made great recommendations that turned out to be perfect. Our drinks stayed full, our food came out just the way we wanted, and the entire experience felt smooth and enjoyable. Rob's professionalism and friendly attitude truly elevated our visit. If you come here, definitely ask for Rob --you won't be disappointed!

    When it comes to rating on Yelp, it always says "How would you rate your experience". And if we're judging off of experience, I'd have to give this place a 4 out of 5. This was very delightful way to have an easy and laid back dinner. This experience was a fun way to spend time with your loved ones, and was very eventful. I would definitely recommend. Each course brought delight, however, when it came to taste I would say the Cheese was my least favorite. But the Chocolate and Entrée were spectacular. My only note is when they clean up for the final part of the meal (the chocolate) they took all of my drinks! I was not super happy about that. But I did not let that ruin the Experience we had. I will definitely be coming back.

    Yeah host team needs a little bit of an attitude adjustment. Would give more stars but the two hostesses could have helped me understand vs just saying no, sort of a turn off to a first time visitor So just be aware. Rude first impressions ... On the other hand Dakota as a server was great... Explained everything, made recommendations and explained what he was doing so we can enjoy the experience Started with the Wisconsin Cheese dip with bread, veggies, and apple Next the salad , small plates Then the entree, we went with the wine based broth, and decided to keep it simple Went with the meat plate of chicken, shrimp, beef and salmon. Comes with veggies .. Desert, was OMG, so have fun

    We went with a party of 12 for a birthday. Our server, David, was very attentive and entertaining. We were there for about 3.5 hours. We weren't in a hurry and enjoyed visiting between courses. So time wasn't an issue for us. The food was all great. Having a big group meant we could try several different options for each course. We did the 4 course experience. Definitely loved the baked potato cheese and bananas foster chocolate the most.

    It's my second time visiting but I still get confused with how everything works here lol My server Alan was very nice. He was working hard to service my table and the table on the other side of the divider. He also answered all of our questions and gave good recommendations.The atmosphere was very peaceful with just enough background noise so you can have your cute, private conversations with your date without feeling like others are listening in. Food was good. We got the Big Night Out Dinner for Two. I think the only thing that was meh was how long it took between courses for us to get the food. By mid-entrée, I didn't feel like eating anymore. ALSO, my bf got a reservation and added a rose package but it turns out $15 only gets you a single rose in a vase so like... don't do it. It's not worth lol

    Went here for my birthday and it was wonderful. This place has an amazing dining experience! Perfect for a date night or just a unique and special meal. had a wonderful time, our server was thorough in his description of each course and patiently answered all our questions. They have a four or two-course meal. we ordered a grand margarita. With their 2-course meal which includes cheese fondue, salads, main course, and chocolate fondue) it also includes the lobster tail but there is an upcharge of $9.00 and called a bigger night out. we choose their classic alpine, melting pot house, and create our own, yin&yang. The whole dining is about a 3-hour experience fondue and you can boil the main course yourself the service was also quick. it was expensive -$200 (tip included) for 2 people, but it's an experience. Overall ambiance and service were good.

The potatoes were typical breakfast potatoes but they were good. For my birthday they let me choose any dessert and the limoncello cake was absolutely perfect. Lemony and tart with creamy frosting, I would go back just for that!! I definitely recommend this place for brunch!

    A buffet and hot pot combination can be a dream come true for those who enjoy having the ability to…read moremix and match or experiment with ingredients, control how it's all cooked, then go back for more. But, as Happy Lamb Hot Pot demonstrates, things that are great in theory aren't always that way in practice, Here's how it works. The first step is to choose a soup base from about half a dozen varieties. You can have one, two or three different types in the same pot (although adding a third will cost extra). Then you choose meat: chicken, beef, lamb or pork. They also offer some premium cuts of beef for an additional fee. Once those are ordered, you visit the buffet where there's a wide selection of seafood, vegetables, sauces and even some foods that don't go into the hot pot, like chicken wings, sesame balls and fried rice. While I loved the fact that there were so many options, it quickly became apparent that some were much better than others. For example, the chicken and lamb were fine, but the non premium beef we got was not the best quality. The seafood and vegetables from the buffet were fresh and plentiful. However, the items that were not hot pot-able left something to be desired, like spring rolls that were cold in the middle, or dried out, overcooked fried dumplings. Our group was big enough to use separate hot pots at our table for a total of 4 soups. The Thai Tom Yum soup base was hands down the best and most flavorful of them all. The worse was the original marrow broth, which had a pungent sour flavor that basically made it inedible. I'm sure through trial and error a fantastic meal could be constructed from what's available here. But, for the price, I won't be in big hurry to return and make the effort.
