    Chilaxing by the window
    Steven S H C.

    Armed with 3 course fondue gift valued at $60, here I am. Did make the reservation but forgot to specify preferred table. They were busy during Saturday lunch and default option was the dark corner. Some people may like dark but personally, prefer bright interior or even a window seats. Got the upstairs, cozy, romantic corner. Sat around for good 20 minutes. Nothing happened and finally had to go down to the hostess station and 911. Within minutes, server stopped by and few minutes later, manager stopped by and apologized in very nice manner. Also presented the charcuterie board. Nice gesture. I was pleasantly surprised to find that many well-known wines were half price - by the glass or by the bottle. A great deal, available during lunch only. All went well from then on service, presentation and also food quality. Our favorite of course was the deserts! Yummy.

    We came to the melting pot on Valentine's Day. We made a late reservation at 9:30 PM. We were able to find parking nearby due to the late arrival time. The hosts were nice and the ambience was spectacular. We were able to sit in a section that felt like our own little hideaway. Our server Christina R was professional and very knowledgeable. Our dining experience included a four stage process. We first started with bread, fruit, and vegetables, alongside the melting pot of cheese. That was a neat experience for me because this was my first time at the restaurant. My wife has been to the restaurant before. Our second course was the salad and it was good. Our third course with a variety of meat and shrimp to be cooked. It was delicious. It came with six different sauces that all tasted lovely. Our dessert came with a variety of fruit, cheesecake and more. We were able to have a melting pot of chocolate to dip that into. I enjoyed a Sprite throughout the dining experience. My wife enjoyed a Yin and Yang martini that was phenomenal. Our experience was five stars out of five stars. I recommend this location for anyone who wants to try something special for a truly unique experience.

    The service here was absolutely incredible, and they went above and beyond to help my (now!) fiancé pull off the perfect proposal. We came here to celebrate our anniversary, and I had absolutely no idea what was coming, so I was completely unsuspecting. When the proposal happened, I was in total shock in the best way possible. The staff was so thoughtful throughout the entire process. They even allowed him to choose his favorite seat the night before, which made the moment feel extra special and intentional. I loved how intimate the experience was. It didn't feel crowded or like a bunch of people were staring at us, which made it feel much more personal compared to other restaurants. On top of that, the food was great. The cheese fondue was hands down my favorite part and something I'm still thinking about. Overall, this place holds such a special place in my heart now. I would highly recommend it for anniversaries, special celebrations, or proposals... they truly know how to make a moment unforgettable.

    The Melting Pot has never let me down as far as service or food and both were excellent on this visit. Every member of the staff treated us like VIP's - notably our server Jasmine and Tre. As usual, we got our salads to go because there is so much food with the 4 course dinner. We were celebrating my friend's Mom's 80th birthday and the manager even came over with a slice of cheesecake with a candle. I can't say enough good things about the Melting Pot - the ambience is cozy and even when they're packed, it doesn't feel like it because of all the curtains and walls. The history of the building is really interesting too - it used to be a library and a prison and I swear there are still ghosts there. They have valet parking and patio tables for warmer weather and it will always be one of my all time favorite restaurants.

    Went here for an anniversary date with my partner and we loved it! Fantastic atmosphere and amazing service. Our server was so kind and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Even though the place was packed, you certainly don't notice it. Food was great too, we did the four course dinner and enjoyed everything. We'll certainly be coming back in the future

    Such a fun thing to do from a romantic date all the way to fun with kids! We came for my son's birthday and had a blast. The kids thought I was being silly on purpose drive here as they couldn't believe we were going to be given our food raw to cook ourselves. They quickly realized the truth and the fun began. Overall the servers were great, they were very clear on what we could expect. The seating was a bit tight, there were 6 of us, a larger space would have been very useful but we were able to squeeze the plates around. The meats had great seasoning, my only complaint is it's basically impossible to not over cook the meat or maybe I just have to practice more! So much fun seeing these kids faces.

    We went here for our anniversary yesterday and got Chelsea as our waitress. She was amazing, great service, and friendly. Not sure who filled out waters (as we had the curtains closed and just saw hands filling our water glasses) but who ever it was did a great job as our waters were never empty! While the price has gone up (1 4-course dinner for two) was $140 (not including tip, drinks, or extra stuff). However we noticed the amount of meat we got was more than last time, and Chelsea confirmed that their resent price increase included more quantity of the food. So that does make up for the price. But this is definitely a once in a blue moon for a very special occasion type of place (if you want the full experience). I highly recommend putting in the reservation that if you are a party of 2 or 4 to get 2 burners (so you don't all have to agree on the same cheese, cooking style, and dessert). Note: There is an automatic 3% charge to the bill (it goes words the kitchen staff). I love that they have this.

    Chocolate fondue
    Ksenia B.

    We came here for our anniversary and brought our three kids with us. Jacob was our server. We loved everything! The food, the service and the whole experience were amazing! The kids were so impressed and just loved cooking their own food and all the dipping. My husband and I enjoyed all the meats - they were flavorful and tender. Also, a great variety! Of course, the chocolate fondue was incredible and such a highlight! While we were waiting for the chocolate, their magician Dennis showed up and did tricks for us and we were all blown away! The location also deserves a mention - it is so unique. The building used to be a public library once and even a jail - the ambiance is fantastic. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion.

    Service was absolutely fantastic, no complaints at all. From the second you walk in, everyone is so friendly. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food and preparation methods. We ended up not liking our cheese fondue and she was kind enough to let us choose another one that was much better suited to our palette. Overall great experience and we'd happily go back.

    I came for my first melting pot experience on a Sunday afternoon. The building, which is an old library, gives the restaurant a lot of character. They are used to large parties as they sat 15 of us at two adjoining tables downstairs. All three courses (cheese, meat/seafood and chocolate) were delicious.

    Denisse P.

    Fun place for an affordable Happy Hour. We went with the kids and the space was very small. Happy hour is great! It runs from 4-7. We got three different types of cheese, a charcuterie board (very small) and three pots of chocolate. The value was very good! I'll be back without the kids.

    Menu
    Corina E.

    The food was delicious! We enjoyed our server who was very knowledgeable about the menus and history of the building. The ambiance was perfect!

    Yikes. I am so sad that they offer these cute globes, nice people, good location and yet the menu be so off. I think it is a unique experience, but hey I a don't want to pay what they charge to cook my own food. They give you sauces that you instantly forget what they are for, so honestly ate the meager morsels with one sauce. You pay for high-end food when what you are getting is more like a "hot pot" experience. The whole thing should cost you $40 max. We spent $300. Ridiculous. Had I known, I would've NEVER gone. Now I can say I went and was ripped off. It was all tasty, but for $300 I am expecting "bomb." Boiled food is hardly "bomb."

    Ask the Community - The Melting Pot

    Do they allow dogs on the patio?

    They do not

    Anyone know if they are LGBT friendly here? I would like to take my husband but not if he and I will get dirty looks or poor treatment.

    Hi Robert, so sorry for the delay. We are absolutely LGBT friendly. We look forward to serving you and your husband soon!

    Is it wheel chair accesible?

    Yes and they have handicap parking and a separate entrance that is wheelchair accessible.

    Hello - does anyone know if they have a Gluten Free menu or can accommodate?

    Yes they can. The oil option is gluten free if I remember correctly and all the raw veggies, and meat are as well. I believe you can ask for substitutions on the desserts.

    Do you guys offer vegan cheese choices?

    Yes, we do offer a vegan cheese option.

    This is my first time going to the melting pot and I'm going on a date. What should I wear to look my best but still fit in with the crowd?

    Hi William, The Melting Pot is casual, but people do make an effort. A nice pair of jeans or khakis with a collared shirt, belt, nice shoes or boots should do you right. I've…
