Like Gracie, I was familiar with the Delmar Loop location before its untimely closure several years ago. I think I visited in November. I worked on my laptop as I ate and drank at the bar. I had the Melting Pot version of a cosmo... something else... and cheese fondue. I don't remember which one. Ugh. This is why I need to learn to write reviews near the time of the experience, not 2 months later. No matter. I enjoyed the food and drink. Prices are not as good as they were pre-Covid in the Loop... but maybe I'm not as good either! read more

The Melting Pot - Fondue Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

We dined at The Melting Pot as a little celebration. My husband has never been. My last visit was probably 20 years ago. We were sat in a very comfy corner booth for two sitting next to each other. Very nice. We decided on the 4 course for two. Which consists of cheese fondue, salad, entree fondue and then chocolate fondue. A great choice for the full experience. First off, Michael was our server and he was excellent. He did a fantastic job of explaining what he was doing making the fondues and explaining the charcuteries of food for dipping each time they came out. The four course option lets you choose your fondue /cooking options, cheese, entree and chocolate. Salads came out first, I went with the house salad which was very good. Then we choose the spinach artichoke cheese which was a great choice for us since we love spinach artichoke dip. Plate of breads, apples, grapes came out. My favorite course by far. Then we went with the traditional oil for the cooking method. This is where we didn't think things out. My husband does not like fish or seafood. His entree consisted of all steak and pork. I ordered a combo of steak, chicken, salmon and shrimp. I waited until he was done eating before I cooked the seafood so it would not give the oil that fishy taste he dislikes. Neither of us cared for the batter we could dip our raw meat & vegetables in before cooking. Just seemed heavy and tasteless. It also fell off and burned in the bottom of the oil. The Melting Pot does have an online timer for all the meats which was pretty cool. You have three skewers so you can cook multiple at a time. This part is very messy and keeps you busy cooking& eating. We also felt very full after. Neither of us eat a lot of fried food...so, it wasn't the best cooking method for us. Then, the table was cleared and it was chocolate fondue time. We went with the turtle pecan which was another great choice. Plate of sweet cakes, strawberries came out. We were definitely stuffed to the brim when we left. Our thoughts later. It was a unique eating experience and we were glad we satisfied the curiosity of doing it. But, I think we will keep making an occasional cheese fondue for home. Or, maybe a good girls night with wine and cheese fondue. read more

We took our kids to The Melting Pot in Town & Country, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Our server, Ty, was exceptionally friendly and provided fantastic service throughout the meal. We ordered the 4-course experience for the adults and the 3-course meal for the kids. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable--perfect for a family night out. We started with the Fiesta and Wisconsin Cheddar fondues, then chose the Court Bouillon for the kids and Coq au Vin for ourselves. Both were excellent, and we loved the variety of meats and dipping options. Dessert was the highlight! The Yin & Yang and Flaming Turtle chocolate fondues were absolutely delicious. Overall, it was such a fun and memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

The Melting Pot is a great place to go if you are looking for good food and an experience! I love the variety they have to offer, but if you are going with a small group/one other person I would recommend you choose someone who shares the same flavor pallet, as you need to agree on the cheese, cooking style, and chocolate! I think it's important to note that if you plan to do one of their 4 course meals, you will be there for a while. Everything has to be cooked, consumed, and cleared before your next course comes. If you get an entree, it comes raw and you cook it at the table, if that's not your thing then I would recommend you stick to the cheese and chocolate only! read more

Absolutely fabulous girls night out! We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to accommodate us right away. We came early. Our goal was wine, cheese and chocolate. The cheese was so good. We decided to try a different cheese. So we had the Alpine first and then the cheddar. Definitely loved both of them. We ended up having a bottle of wine between us and that was delicious also. A great place to be and Rachel was our absolute best server. Kudos to her. read more

We came on a Wednesday night to celebrate our friend's birthday. I was surprised that it was very full during the week day. There were a lot of people! We chose the high tier which is $67 per person that includes everything. We did in fact enjoyed every course we have the waitress was super sweet. Many choices for our main course and taste very good. We did not order fancy drinks because they were very pricey. Man the bill was high. I normally do not spend that much for one person. So this place truly is for special occasions for ordinary people. Unless you are rich and do not mind the grow big bucks for dinner, then it is all good. I give three star just because it is very pricey. read more

I get a craving for fondue about once a year and there really is not any other place in St. Louis where you can even get fondue. The cheeses are solid and their ability to provide basically everything gluten-free was a big plus. It seems like so little food but it does fill you up. The service was lovely - he was exceptional and knew everything off the top of his head and was very quick and attentive. That said... I just felt bummed when we got the bill and while we knew what everything costs it was sticker shock for 4 people (one being a child) of over $300. Two cocktails, two specialty lemonades, two cheeses, two broths, and two chocolates. No lobsters, no surf n turf to clarify. It just felt not worth the cost and I feel like I forget about that in between when I don't go for a year. The food is well-seasoned but it seems kind of a bummer that at the end it felt like it really should have only been half the cost - tops. read more

The staple of fondue! If you haven't been to a melting pot then you're missing out on simple entertainment here. Not only do you get to play with your food but you get to eat the food! The process is pretty simple, if you don't understand the server will explain it for you! The menu is huge so you have sooo much to choose from. This menu has great options for all diet types. This is the perfect joint for a quiet date night or bring the whole family & have a party! There's more than enough space for every one to share. read more

The Melting Pot in St. Louis was the perfect spot to dive into Oktoberfest! Fondue is always a good idea, and dipping all the things in gooey cheese is heavenly. We opted for the Surf n Turf, and I shamelessly devoured almost all the "surf" part--who can resist that fresh seafood, right? #stlouispescatarianapproved The whole experience of cooking and dipping right at the table was interactive and fun. To top it off, we fully embraced the Oktoberfest spirit, donning some fun outfits, which only added to the festive atmosphere. We definitely play too much and the Melting Pot leaned in! read more

Great food. Great service. Loved the ambiance. I had family in town that had never been and they were amazed

The melting pot isn't just dinner, it's a complete fondue experience. It's about $70-80 per person to do it right so we save it for special occasions but it's worth it. Get the full experience including cheese fondue, salad choice, entrees, and chocolate dipping dessert. Coq au vin is the best cooking style. You can ask for more dippers for the cheese and dessert! You can't go wrong with any of it but don't be afraid to try something out of the standard, the best cheese is the loaded baked potato and the best dessert is the banana foster. Be prepared to eat too much, feel way too full later, and regret none of it. read more

I really love this Melting Pot location. It is easy to get to, charming and could/can be romantic if that is what you'd like. I started going here years ago on an awkward date that we made the best of... and continued to go as the years have gone by. It is true that even knowing the cost unless you are adding it up as you go it can get pricey especially if you do drinks and add ons. Every now and again they do special cheeses or chocolates and there are plenty of special evenings where you can save a bit. They also do have 1/2 price cheese and chocolate at the bar only during happy hour which is a deal if you aren't wanting the full meal. I used to come about once or twice a year but it ended up being my daughter's favorite place to go so we go probably more often than we should and spend every birthday of hers there. This location holds so many memories for us and what makes it so is not only the great food, but the staff at this location goes above and beyond to make sure all your requests are met. You get exactly what you want and that it tastes good On tonight's visit our server was Mark and he was very friendly and this was a night where it was the first time we had been when they had just a bit of a change to the menu. And let me add the changes are spectacular. More food on the big night out and instead of like six small shrimp you get two huge ones which since my moms plate came with little shrimp we figured that all said and done you are getting the same amount of shrimp. It's tastier and meatier and I really liked them and was happy with the change. Mark made sure that he gave us extra potato's and butter like we had asked for and stopped by as often as possible to ensure that we remained happy with our food I truly felt for Mark though. He had a big section and he worked it like a pro. Every time he stopped he was professional and friendly and didn't let the busy night get to him. I remarked to my daughter that he must go home and ice his feet after all the walking he does lol but I was impressed with the continuity of service that we received. When the bill came, we realized it was incorrect and flagged down a very friendly manager who found out what we needed to know and came back to tell us what was going on rather than having the server stop and fix it right that second.... It's always these little things that I notice about the staff and how they work that makes for a much better experience. One of the main reasons my daughter and I were set on going to the Melting Pot was the Dubai chocolate and I have to admit that no one really cared for this one, but they have other chocolates which are absolutely delicious. This one just was not the choice for us but overall we had absolutely no complaints. As always I would definitely recommend and will be returning! read more

The Melting Pot never disappoints. We came here for a special dinner with my daughter for her 17th birthday. The food was great, our waiter was knowledgeable and kind, and the restaurant was clean. I love how long the experience takes with the four courses. It gave us lots of quality time to talk and laugh together. Thanks for a memorable birthday dinner! read more

Wow. We'll never come here again. On top of the prices being outrageous and didn't make sense, our service was terrible our waitress hardly came by. We sat there 3 times longer than the other tables around us waiting for our food or things to get cleared away. She didn't check our pots for the right temperature and it literally burned everything we put in it. Half our food was ruined and she was completely unconcerned. It was our first and last time going here. read more

This is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in Stl! We came for happy hour and had the half price cheese fondue and chocolate fondue and they were absolutely delicious! We specifically really love the classic alpine cheese fondue and the original chocolate fondue. We've had Aminah R as our server the last few times we've been in and she's wonderful! She's very kind and friendly and consistently provides such excellent service! I'd highly recommend the melting pot - it's especially a perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or for a nice date night out! read more

I had visited the Delmar Loop Melting Pot numerous times before they closed, so I decided to check out this location for the first time last night. We had reservations for 5:30 and arrived right on time, but we still had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. It was quite busy for a Wednesday night! Our server Jesse was wonderful. He was very attentive and energetic, and he checked in on us frequently. I definitely liked the interior of the Delmar Loop restaurant better than the Town & Country location. The restaurant was clean, but the overall mood is not as inviting. I was a little surprised by the amount of time it took for the food to come out, considering all of it comes out raw. Not exactly sure what might've caused the long wait, but the rest of our experience was great. The food was exceptional. We did the Endless Entree special for $54 per person, and it was a pretty good deal. I especially liked the seasoning on the chicken. We chose the Coq Au Vin fondue cooking style, which includes burgundy wine, mushrooms, scallions, and garlic. It was absolutely amazing! For dessert, we chose the Bananas Foster fondue. I like that they will bring out more dippers to use the remainder of the chocolate. Prior to last night, I had only ever ordered milk or dark chocolate fondue, so the Bananas Foster was a nice switch up! Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. read more

I previously visited the location on Delmar regularly before they closed. Figured it was time to try this location. The restaurant is not as nice or inviting as the previous Delmar location. This location is very worn down-- rips in the leather seats of the booths, fake marble looking/plastic tables, scratched and paint chipping wood that have all seen better days. We waited about 10 min for our table to be ready, although we had a reservation and were on time. Given the appearance of the place, I had low expectations for food but surprisingly it was great! Quality and freshness of meats were top notch (and I'm super picky). Portions were large enough that prices were completely reasonable. Loved all the sauces that come with the entrees! The experience was super fun and would be great for date nights or small gatherings. They could definitely use a complete reno or at least some updates to the restaurant though! read more

my bf and me celebrate our first anniversary at the melting pot, we did the 4 courses and it was delicious.

I am really upset to say that I no longer recommend the Melting Pot, but wow--the experience my boyfriend and I had tonight was astonishingly disappointing. To begin, although mentioned in the reservation that a guest was celiac the waiter was unaware. No biggie, but odd. Our waiter offered us three types of water; sparkling, still, and tap but failed to mention the still water was a $6 charge PER fill--which we found out at the very end when looking at our bill. We get the cheese course and ordered the andouille sausage dippers ($4 up charge) as well as requested extra apples for the cheese as we cannot have the regular bread anyway, neither of which we ever received. We move onto the salad course, I got the California and my partner got the Bacon and Blue cheese. There were no candied nuts as described on the menu in the California salad and the spinach in the Bacon and Blue cheese was almost all stemmed. At the end of our entree course we ordered the "Toothless" shark bite drink ($8) to try for fun--we never received the drink. Service overall was just incredibly slow, which I wouldn't usually have too much of a problem with as I understand that dinner service at such an establishment can be chaotic at times, however it was just making everything feel worse. All in all, it was a very disappointing experience that we aren't used to having at the Melting Pot and ultimately we do not plan to return. The expectations did not meet the price tag and I would urge anyone to look elsewhere if wanting to splurge on a nice date night experience. read more

Food was great service was amazing the waiter came to check in on us a lot and took all our requests and the place is well decorated

Ok, if you want to have a lovely family dinner experience, this is the place. The kids love to cook at the table. The service are great and friendly. The food amazing, the variety of sides absolutely kids friendly. Don't skip the dessert, thats the kids favorite part when they can dipped delicious waffles, fruits or cakes in the chocolate. A lot of parking spots. read more

Major fail by the Melting Pot. We were seated for 25 minutes and we're completely ignored. No greeting by anyone. Not a waiter. Not a bus person. Not a manager. Nothing. If you're swamped, stop at my table and say something. If you're the manager of this restaurant and you are unaware that your wait staff is struggling then you should be fired. We had planned a nice date night to have Oktoberfest fondue to reminisce about our fabulous trip to Germany in the summer and you ruined it. If I could give less than zero stars I would do so. read more

The Melting Pot - My review - Fondue Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

Oh melting pot....what happened? So we got all nostalgic and decided to do a girls night at the melting pot....it's been years and I've never been to this location. We had high hopes.... First of all the young man and lady who seemed to the manager greeted me immediately were wonderful. Very friendly and when I said I was there earlier than my party directed me to the bar like I asked. This is where is kind of went downhill. The person I assumed was the bartender said hi but turned around and went back to cutting limes....ummm ok. I wanted a drink. Not really here for the lime cutting show. Waited a minute and then said I forgot my glasses in the car to the host and ducked out. Luckily there was a bar next door. Hopped in and got a drink right away and waited for my friends. Fast forward 30 minutes and we are all here so we went back to the melting pot. Seated quickly, very friendly waitress. We ordered drinks got them in a reasonable amount of time. After that time slowed apparently... we eventually got out cheese. It was good nothing extravagant. We were supposed to get some promotional items with the friends fondue they were running. We had to ask for them and when we were almost done with cheese were presented with a small bowl of meat. Probably not what it was supposed to be but ok. Salad took a while. Overloaded with dressing. We waited a long time for the chocolate course which let's face it that e-bike we are here. It was awesome. In the meantime we really wished we had seen our waitress again for drinks but that didn't really happen in time. All in all it was ok but it's way too bright and cafeteria feeling in this location. We weren't there for romance but I'm sure other people are. Turn those lights down! Unless I'm Taking kids there to just try it out once I probably won't be back. read more

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. We had 4pm reservations. When we arrived, the hostess told us that we did not have reservations for the 14th but on the 15th. Both my spouse and I were so disappointed, we didn't really know how to react. Seeing our disappointment and frustration with the confusion, the very accommodating hospitality team asked us if we would be willing to wait to see what they could do to help. With it being Valentine's Day, the restaurant has been booked solid for at least two weeks. As we sat there trying to decide what we were going to do, the hostess came up to us and asked us to follow her. She led us to a cozy private corner booth. It was so romantic with rose pedals on the table and a bouquet on the table. The hostess smiled as I we were so touched by her kindness. Our server, Brett, was incredible. Our experience wasn't just dinner but really a fun food journey and adventure in fondu. Brett explained how to use the cook pots to het the best results and went over and beyond expectations. Also, the food was absolutely amazing as well as the romantic atmosphere. Thank you for making our Valentine's Day experience so special! read more

Food was fantastic! Adam was our server and he was super attentive and he provided great service. The ambiance was super fancy and we loved it. The manager Karen, I don't know if she had an issue with me sending my drink back. But I didn't complain about it, and didn't ask for my money back on it. All I said was "oh I'm finished with this." When she asked if she could take something and I handed her a full drink that was personally way too strong for me. After that, she treated my whole table different rolling her eyes at us and just straight up ignored us. If it wasn't for her nasty attitude I would've been giving this place five stars. But food and Adam were fantastic. They just need a better manager. read more

The Melting Pot - Birthday dessert. - Fondue Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

We arrived at 8:55 for a 9:00 reservation, we didn't get a server for 40 minutes and that only because I stopped one of the them helping other guests, and she left and came back apologizing advising it was a mix up with the staff. The rest of the night other than that was nice, but that already kind of set the tone. We were just about to get up and leave when I stopped a waiter to ask will anyone be coming to our table, and the only reason we didn't leave is because we drove from north county and 9:00 was already a late reservation, and it was already going on 10:00pm. I hope they fix the communication we like this place but just had a bad experience. read more

We had a group of 6 for girls night out. We felt very welcomed. Our server was Mia and she was excellent from beginning to end. All of her suggestions were great. She was very knowledgeable. My only complaint is that we were seated in a big booth with one way in and one way out. Not that big of a deal but it was very warm with the steam in an enclosed area and fairly dark. Otherwise, thank you Mia for a great experience! read more

I had tons of fun at the restaurant! It was like, 3 hours long - longest dinner ever! I loved the chocolate and dipping bananas. I dipped 500 banana slices! My brother liked strawberries. The impossible burger with teriyaki sauce was my second favorite. The vegan pretzel bread was yummy. I only like zucchini for veggies, and wished the potatoes didn't have cheese on them. The servers were awesome, and I love dipping everything! I ask my parents if we can go back every 5 months. read more

This was a decade birthday for me and my closest loved ones treated me to a small gathering here. I love this restaurant because it is an EXPERIENCE! They had called ahead and had everything set up when I arrived including balloons on the table and my loved ones waiting for me. They have special menu offerings or you can order a la carte. We did the special dinner for 2 menu and everything was amazing! The cheese and dessert are the best part of the experience, but the main course is tasty too. Service was top of the line - our drinks were kept full, our server checked on us throughout, she gave recommendations on top ordered options and what was new on the menu as well. She even accommodated a lil switch of items in the main course. This is not an "everyday" type of dinner, but definitely go here for your next special celebration and bring guests who enjoy the experience! read more

We came to Melting Pot with expectations for a fun experience and evening. From the moment we entered with our reservation it seemed like the host was confused. Our server was a sweet gal and familiar with the menu. We ordered our drinks and things were going along fine. Ordered a Caesar salad with anchovies and was brought a salad with no anchovies; told we don't have anchovies. Enjoyed the bread and cheese course which was fine. Ordered our protein choices and a second drink then were forgotten about. It took at least ten minutes to ask if the bar tender could find the wine. While waiting another server dropped a whole dish of sauces by our feet by accident and the sauce went everywhere including our booth and wife's pants and shoes. While accidents happen it would have been nice to have the manager come by and make sure my wife's clothes were ok and maybe compensate a drink for us and an apology. None. Dinners arrived, uneventful. Desert ordered (recommend the peanut), and we left. When you are a manager you are in charge and should be all knowing of what is happening. A subordinate can always apologize and inform the manager. Left with a not so great impression for the simplest of reasons which is courtesy. The lack of spoke volumes. read more

The food was equally great and was more than enough for us.
