    This was such a great dining experience! We were excited to visit a Melting Pot again since we don't have them in Las Vegas, but we used to love dining at one in Ohio during our time there. Definitely make a reservation - easy to do on their website. The interior is large, but the ambiance is designed such that the tables still feel quite private. We went for the big night out multi-course meal which includes the cheese course, salads, assorted meats and seafood for the entree course, and a chocolate course. Try their cocktails! I had the paradise punch - tropical and fruity - as well as the love martini - strong with just the right amount of sweetness. Everything was delicious! We had the classic alpine cheese choice which includes lighter cheeses such as Swiss with wine and nutmeg. Delicious! This course includes assorted breads and fruits and vegetables for dipping. I had the Caesar for the salad course which was delicious. I really enjoyed the pine nuts which added a lovely crunch. For your entree course you can choose from a variety of cooking broths. We had the coq au vin. You also get various meats (steak, chicken) as well as salmon and ravioli to cook for this course. Everything was delicious; I think the steak was my favorite. Then comes the chocolate course... we chose the "dark and dulce" option and splurged the few extra dollars for the cake topper with a sparkler since it was a birthday celebration. Various sweet items are included for dipping with the chocolate including marshmallows and sponge cake and brownies. Delicious!! I also had the "billionaire's coffee" which is coffee with various cordials added in. Tasty and strong!! The server was extremely friendly and attentive throughout. The owner was also kind enough to visit our table to say hello and check on us. Melting Pot is a great choice for a special night!

    My daughter and I have been coming here for a LONG time - probably 15 years. It was our 'special' place where we would just sit and have great mother-daughter chats. Recently things started getting rocky. Portion sizes were smaller, service was worse, just all kind of annoying. I'm happy to report -- things are looking up! We went this past weekend and met the new manager - he's great! He said he really has been paying attention to reviews and watching service and trying to get things more consistent. We were so happy to hear this! Our food was great, the drinks were great, and our mother-daughter chat was great! So happy that things are looking up again!

    Food always good! Love the dipping Service was great! Lighting was brighter than usual . Prices tripled for the 4-course meal but we throughly enjoyed it all

    I came here with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday on Friday night. We had a great time - delicious food and drinks all around, fantastic service (Peter was extremely hospitable - funny and nice), and a cozy environment. We all indulged in the 4-course option starting with the green goddess cheddar salad and cheese fondue and then enjoyed an assortment of meats and veggies in two broths (traditional coq au vin and mojo). The desserts were scrumptious too. Generous portions of everything, nobody left hungry, that's for sure! I will absolutely be back for another celebratory occasion and if you haven't been yet, move this up on your list!

    My husband and I had an absolutely amazing experience at the melting pot this weekend! We have been before and it is always good but this visit was beyond exceptional! Our waitress Shauna was by far one of the best servers we've ever had. In fact every person we interacted with was phenomenal, everyone seemed happy and like they truly enjoyed their jobs. One of my favorite things about the melting pot is the private alcove tables that are perfect for date nights. As always the food was amazing. We especially loved the sauces that came with the Steak Lovers. The cherry on top was my husband was able to have chocolate covered strawberries sent to our table before we arrived when he made the reservation. It's the little available additions and outstanding staff that really make the melting pot one of the best date night spots! * If a manager sees this I really hope you acknowledge how amazing Shauna is!!

    I am very fond of the fondue here. Our server was the best server EVER. This place is even better than Switzerland.

    Fun experience that I have never tried before. Make sure to make a reservation cause it's busy and it takes a while. Our dinner was 3 hours but we did the 3 course dinner and this was expected. There is a menu where you can select one cheese, one dinner entree and one dessert fondue. We got the classic cheese and the waiter/waitress makes it at the table. The base for the classic one is wine and I think he put too much wine in it, because that's all I could taste. The dinner entrees were really good where you cooked your shrimp and whatever else you order in the pot. Dessert fondue is also really amazing. I had a great martini. The booths are so cute and cozy. The two person ones would be great for date night. Overall a fun experience I would go back!

    Haven't been to a melting pot in 10+ years it was a fun experience. I got the experience for 1. Go with the "classic" choices they are the best. Like Green goddess Cheddar or Coq Au Vin. Get extra Goddess sauce with the meat and veggies. Also, I don't think the side salad is worth it. The server was very nice and knowledgeable guiding me through the meal and each course. I even had the owner stop by and check everything was good. The only thing, I wish was I got to try amus bush, he offered it to the table next to me, but maybe it was because I wasn't celebrating anything.

    It's been a minute since I last dined at a Melting Pot. Not too many in my usual area/city. I was thoroughly impressed but there have been some changes since my last experience: some good and some not so great. First the good parts are the cocktails. The drinks I had were all fantastic! I think it was the Red Bull in the Tropic Haven Punch but it went down so easy. Even though I had it late in the evening I still was able to sleep at a normal hour (probably my own caffeine addiction coming into play) but it tasted so good and I loved the green and yellow hombre effect within the drink. Menu states that it comes with dry ice smoke but mine seemed to lack that. The Paradise Punch and Love Tini were also really yummy. Our server Nini was really professional and friendly. The pacing of the food here is great especially the meats because you need to wait for each of them to cook and get 3 skewers at a time. The amount of food is immense so letting your stomach rest throughout the meal is a welcome part of the dining experience. A manager came by and introduced herself. She was very friendly and reassured us she is there to get us what we would like. As for the not so great, the salad portion seems way less than I remember, the included dipping options seemed to have changed (used to be a dark brown molasses bread now replaced with pretzel bread), and cheesecake used to be a standard dessert dipper now they charge extra for cheesecake bites as an optional add on along with macarons and cream puffs. There is a nice upgrade that is the chocolate explosion: comes with a Bundt cake and a sparkler for celebrations. The ambiance is clean and inviting. I feel like it is a great place for intimate moments or to just catch up in a very relaxing environment. Not much fanfare or loud music (actually the music is quite mixed from jazz to pop) something for everyone. I am planning our next return soon when we are in this area. If for nothing else, for that amazing Tropic Haven Punch (insert drool emoji here)

    What a fantastic dinner! My friend and I ate here in October during a stay in the Boston area. It was a Tuesday night so it was fairly quiet but there were several tables full. The restaurant is set up so people can be in quiet spaces and enjoy their meal experience. We got the Big night out and used a coupon from Restaurant.com. Our server was great in explaining how it worked for my friend who had never eaten at a Melting Pot. We ordered our salads, our cheese course, and coq au vin for our entree fondue. While we were waiting on our cheese course we decided on swirled chocolate for our dessert course. The cheese was a perfect starter and we had more than enough meat for our entree course. The chocolate was the best and just enough of a finale. We left completely full and perfectly happy with our meal.

Same very sweet fried chicken, dry slaw that didn't add any flavor, a few pickles that helped a bit, but no real flavor. The chicken (on the waffles too) was hammered...fried till super dry. Comes with a side of potato chips but they weren't hot or seasoned. The big pretzel app was good. Beer cheese was ok, honey mustard was better. Sorry we didn't enjoy ourselves more. Nice people and very good service.

My friends and I went on a Tuesday after work specifically hoping for outdoor seating and a fun dinner/drinks vibe. Unfortunately, the service experience throughout the night was extremely disappointing. We waited quite a while to even be greeted by the host when we arrived. I completely understand restaurants get busy because I work in the industry myself. But it felt like the lack of acknowledgment continued all night. We sat at the bar while waiting for our patio table and weren't greeted by the bartender for about five minutes with no menus or acknowledgment. Even just a quick "I'll be right with you" would have gone a long way. We ordered drinks at the bar, and once our patio table was ready, the bartender told us he'd bring them out when they were finished. After being seated, we were told our server would be right over. The bartender brought our drinks. Another 10 or so minutes go by and then he brought water pitchers, mentioning our server was busy and would be over soon. But another 20-25 minutes passed before anyone came to our table. We eventually had to ask the host about it before we were finally helped. By that point, we were starving since we had come straight from work. The food unfortunately didn't make up for the experience. The nachos were surprisingly small for the price (barely enough for one person) and arrived somewhat cold. To their credit, the manager did remove the nachos and a round of drinks from the bill, which we appreciated. Overall, the atmosphere was great, but the service and food quality unfortunately didn't match the pricing or expectations.

The buffalo jumbo shrimp was fantastic, the four pieces were delightfully coated in buffalo sauce and laid on a good amount of blue cheese. The fondue was surprisingly large.
