I had the BEST waiting experience with Rhi. She was so friendly and answered all my questions. I loved her recommendations! Will be coming back! read more

I've been to The Melting Pot both here and elsewhere and have always enjoyed my experience. As others have explained, if you're unaware, it's a fondue restaurant in downtown Boise. It's a chain, as I mentioned, I've also been to their location in Brookfield, Wisconsin. That said, this location is solid. Our server kept our glasses full and made sure our meal moved along at the perfect pace. We brought a couple here who had never been to a fondue restaurant, which is so fun. This is a great spot for a double date. I've also been here with a large group and we had a blast as well. We began with their cheese fondue (cheesy deliciousness), enjoyed salads (caesar salad had candied pecans? I didn't hate it exactly, but it was weird), and chose the Coq au Vin and the grill for our main. Our party of four agreed we'd likely skip the grill next time and go for a second broth type cooking style as it was much more flavorful. And, then ended with the creme brulee and a chocolate choice that had candied pecans. Both were great but the creme brulee was the table favorite. The only oddness is that they don't have a liquor license, so while they have cocktails on the menu, they're all canned (they spruce them up in a cocktail glass with garnish, but they're canned). They're all fruity and not something I'd order. I tried to order bourbon off menu but that's when I found out they don't have their license (they've been on a wait list for years--oh, Boise!). We opted for water. Aside from that minor glitch, a great experience! Get to it! read more

What a great experience! We went to celebrate our 42nd anniversary and had the best time! The food was excellent and service superb. Our server Fon (as in "fondue") was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Hot tip: if you go, ask for the "search and rescue" spoon! All around a top notch experience! read more

The ideal winter treat. The boiling pot has taken the meals of fondue/hot pot and made it into a course base meal. With friendly and helpful staff in a ideal place for team building or family get togethers. The excitement Oman's energy makes the place with while. read more

It was ok. Probably not worth the money. If you don't mind doing it yourself Cuisinart sells a really nice fondue pot. For the price of what you pay here You could buy that some decent food and wine and just do this all yourself and you'll have it for next time. If you like driving to downtown Boise and sitting in a booth and being waited on and that's worth it to you then do that. However for me I'd rather not. I wanted to see what all the hype was about so I went. I'm a pretty good cook so I think I cooking's better but I'm not even sure if you have to be a good cook to do this. There's a lot of recipes out there for fondue and if you get yourself that fondue pot you can do it too. I will say one amazing thing about this restaurant that I've not seen anywhere else is their customer service when it comes to reservations They check in with you and make sure that they have everything set up for you and that's just amazing that's like something I haven't experienced in Boise before It's just above and beyond and I hope they don't lose that. And honestly My reasons for probably not returning have nothing to do with the business itself It's fine it's just I see more value in purchasing something I can do myself and doing it myself for less money than going out but some people like going out and that's okay. read more

Was insanely impressed with my experience here for the first time. Everything looked great, smelled nice, and was very excited to get seated. Was greeted by Jason Corral assistant manager there, was insanely nice, cannot describe how amazing he was, made good convo with him, gave us a coupon for being so patient, and overall was an amazing person, and the food was amazing from top to bottom on the list, read more

Ate there for our anniversary. They went the extra mile with service , flowers , rose petals. Gave us a small private room although the lighting was a little low. Great time!!!! read more

It's not bad food, but for the price and the amount of food we got, it wasn't worth it. Both of us left hungry.

Way too expensive for what we got.. 10 year anniversary dinner wasted... we got the bell tower room and it was so Hot in there... would not recommend.. service was very slow and forced... read more

My husband and I came here for dinner on July 18,2025. We had a reservation and got seated within 5 minutes. We were fortunate enough to get Jadie as a server. She was attentive, friendly, and really just everything you hope to get with a server. We started with the fiesta cheese, fondue. It wasn't too spicy and had just the right amount of flavor. We chose Steak Lovers for our entrée and chose to grill it. Out of the different meats, we both agreed that the Garlic Pepper Steak was the best. We wrapped up the meal with S'mores fondue for dessert, which was delicious. I'll definitely come back with my kids to experience the dessert alone. We normally have decent size appetites, but could not finish everything. The restaurant does serve all ages, there was a reasonable amount of noise. Not too quiet, but we are also able to carry a conversation without having to yell. Overall good food and excellent service. read more

Great food and service. Took the time to explain how the whole process works and everyone was kind with all of our questions.

We made reservations at the bar top and Ashley was excellent as well as everyone working on Thanksgiving Day. We do appreciate you and the service was excellent especially on such a busy day. We left completely stuffed as a turkey. read more

So if you come here- chances are it's for the experience and not necessarily for the food which is a good thing because the food is sub par at best. We were here for a group function recently and they stuck us in the back which meant not only were we away from the action but so were the servers. And by action- I mean us. We arrived around 8:30 and the service took over 3 freaking hours from start to finish. That can't be the norm. Drinks were forgotten for me and my husband at least twice and it just kept getting worse with each course as far as time wise. I can honestly say I'd never come back. To any of their establishments in any city. The two stars were for the "experience" and the cheese fondue. It was really the only thing I'd order again. Oh- and despite the mediocre bordering on terrible service- we were charged a mandatory 18%. I almost fought it. There's much better places and experiences to spend money on. Choose those. read more

Wonderful food, charming, attentive and caring service. Just had the pleasure of experiencing Happy Hour at The Melting Pot, courtesy of my daughter to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we checked in, the Host/Manager wished me Happy Birthday, our server wished me Happy Birthday, and there was even a signed card from the waitstaff already on our table. We enjoyed the Happy Hour special and chose 2 cheeses and a chocolate fondue - the Classic Alpine and Fiesta cheese fondues, and the Dark Chocolate dessert fondue. Each one was prepared at the table by our server, a caring, genuinely friendly (not an 'I'm in Customer Service' friendly) young woman (I didn't catch her name). Each fondue was wonderful, and there was more than enough 'dippers' for each one. I would highly recommend The Melting Pot and look forward to coming back. read more

I enjoyed my Thanksgiving at The Melting Pot with my husband this year and service was very busy, understandably. We usually have trouble finding restaurants we like that are open and regularly enjoy The Melting Pot so were excited to set a reservation. Our food was good and that is always consistent. I was disappointed hearing in the restroom that the owners called in "sick" which clearly impacted the morale of the staff. As a business owner, company culture impacts business longevity. I appreciate that the serving staff came on their holiday so my husband and I could enjoy our Thanksgiving. read more

What can I say, you pay for experience! Me and my honey love coming here to celebrate or even just a date night. The food, the drinks, the service. All great. We've had Ari as our server a couple times and she is so great. 10/10 ask for Ari! read more

We went just for dessert. Overall fun experience and definitely filled us up. Servers were attentive to my food allergies and very kind.

Our server Grace was phenomenal! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided an amazing experience! Graces hospitality was through the roof and we hope to see her again soon. Food was amazing and Grace also let us know we could request extra sides for the fondue! The Manager on duty was attentive and very professional! read more

Five stars to this place simply because it's an experience more than a meal, and they offer that experience to vegans and non vegans! Huge props for that. This was the first fondue place I'd ever been to and it was really cool. The melted cheese with food to dip into it, and the chocolate fondue for dessert was perfection. Although it took three hours form start to finish, and you're paying quite a price, we had a blast and the service was really good. You have got to check out one of these types of restaurants! read more

What a wonderful experience we had on December 19th, it was a last minute decision to dine at the Melting Pot and we're certainly glad we did. Ari was our server and her ability to create a memorable experience was noteworthy. The food was good and the location is perfect. It was an unforgettable evening and I'm truly grateful for the 5 star experience. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year read more

I HAVE NEVER HAD A BETTER DINING EXPERIENCE Me and My friend went there and ordered off the ala cart menu and had the loaded potato fondue, steak lover's entree, and the yin and Yang dessert. Let me tell you it was delicious . The service was impeccable. The ladies at the front were very warm and welcoming and our hostess timed everything perfectly. At first when I saw the portions I was like how could anyone get full off of this, but I was so wrong. Everything there was cozy, intimate, and over all just amazing. Thank you guys for an amazing night!! I will be returning soon lol read more

Wow. Where do I even start. Libby is a fantastic server. So amazing, insanely fabulous. She melting my cheese with passion, and it was incredibly memorable. She is a light in a tunnel of darkness. A wonderful blonde girl with a huge passion for the cheese industry. read more

Fun, romantic, interactive, yummy place to be! I enjoy coming here during happy hour to get the cheese and chocolate! The drinks are always really fun too! I love the shark nibble which has a cute gummy shark and strawberry "blood." The waiters are always kind and funny, giving THE BEST, service and food tips! I love to put broccoli in the cheese to soften it up, and dip my after meal mint into the chocolate. I always enjoy coming to this lovely place to have some delicious fun! I generally always have a pleasant experience at the Boise Melting Pot. The only time I had a less than desirable dinner was when I had an encounter with the new manager. I will not go into all the details, but the situation was handled quite harshly to a point that the waiter was apologizing to us after the incident. I will say that the manager was polite, it was just off putting. I understand they are trying to run a business and have to have a strong face for the company. read more

We love Bennett! He was amazing and made us laugh the whole experience. We will definitely be back and requesting him!

We always really enjoy our experience at Melting Pot. The food is delicious, the staff is courteous, and the pricing isn't bad for the quality you get. The lights dimmed when we were first seated, and it was hard to see after being outside in the sun, but it didn't take, too long to adjust. I wouldn't recommend getting the extra tray for desserts as the cheesecake is so overpoweringly sweet and too rich. I also hope they bring back bananas foster since it's by far our favorite dessert fondue. read more

Enjoyed lovely evening for parents 63rd Anniversary. I ordered a small bouquet of roses (provided by Melting Pot) for table upon our arrival. The roses and the waiter did not disappoint. The food was flavorful and plenty! We went early so it was nice and quiet which is perfect so we could all hear each other with ease. The staff , again was exceedingly patient, helpful which was much appreciated. By evenings end, the restaurant staff surprised me by not charging for the roses, which I knew and agreed to pay for initially. It was a touching gesture. We will return. read more

Absolutely horrendous experience. It is humorous the lackluster food they present you with, and they are absurd with their prices. It is an absolute joke for what you get. $160 for crappy raw food you have to cook yourself, everything was extremely lackluster. Cross-contamination is no concern at this restaurant and they use cheap ingredients and "dippers" and charge top dollar. They bring you out these "sauces" because all the meat has zero flavors so of course, you have to drench it in the sauce. The chicken was rubbery, the skillet wasn't seasoned/oiled and all the food stuck to it. Salmon would stick to a skillet and just crumble to where you couldn't even eat it. The server wouldn't even let us get through 2 bites without asking us if we wanted a box, for what raw meat and uncooked vegetables? Weird. Felt very rushed, but we weren't too worried and were ready to get out of there. You can get a 100000x better experience at any other restaurant downtown. I'd rather take my nearly $200 to Ruth's Chris at least then I could leave knowing I had a good meal! Do you know when you accidentally sit through a pyramid scheme presentation and go wtf just happened? That's how I felt going here. Wtf did I just pay so much money for? And why am I still hungry? Will never, ever be back. I think people who like this place have never experienced good food, or don't have tastebuds and don't know the difference. read more

Yohenny was a great server! Very kind and funny. We always love coming to the melting pot!

We were living in Boise for a few months and I found myself addicted to The Melting Pot. It's such a fun, unique experience and a big pot of Gruyère is the best thing ever. Not to mention the incredible sauces...so good. However, last but not least was the impeccable service from Alessio and many of the other servers, too. Thank you all for every wonderful experience! read more

My boyfriend and I had the most wonderful time at this location. Neither of us had ever been to Melting Pot before so we didn't know what to expect... we were very pleased with our dining experience! Our waiter, Alessio, was very kind and easy to talk to. His suggestions for what to get were so good - ask for dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for the "flaming turtle" option! We did "The Complete Experience for Two" and it was a lot of fun. They give you a ton of sauces with the entree so you can try many different combinations of flavors. It is a LOT of food - come with an empty stomach! We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Had the BEST experience at Melting Pot last night! Forrest was our server and he was so nice and fun and was quick with everything we needed. We ordered the endless entree option that is their September special and we left there VERY full! Got the Alpine cheese fondue, a house salad and a caprese, the endless entree was chicken, two types of steak, and shrimp, and we did white chocolate for dessert. Everything was DELICIOUS, especially the filet! Definitely will go back and have more fondue soon read more

Excellent dining experience with quality and service that never disappoints. Four of us enjoyed an early dinner on a Saturday evening. Not a cheap date, but for such an interactive and engaging evening with family I would gladly pay double. Wait staff are friendly and top-notch professionals, a much appreciated find in a city with a sprinkling of entitlement wait staff. They were attentive, engaging but not overbearing. Don't miss out on this amazing restaurant. Cheers! read more

I was shocked at how poor the food was and how EXPENSIVE it was. Like I lost sleep over it. How is this restaurant still a thing? The first course has chopped up baby carrots (gross) and the dessert course had pre-packaged rice krispy treats and vending machine style cookies to dip in the chocolate. Our bill for four (no alcohol- only one lemonade that my sister said tasted like Country Time) was $344. HOW?!?! Never ever ever again. I rarely take the time to review, but this was SO bad for being SO expensive. The service was friendly and the ambiance was fine. read more
