    Entree

    The price they charge does not equal the service and quality of food you receive. Unfortunately, we were not impressed with our visit to The Melting Pot. I do not think anything was bad or terrible, it is just extremely overpriced. The service was ok and the food was ok, nothing amazing. However, this location is absolutely beautiful. It is in a historic old mining building in downtown Louisville. The architecture is amazing. Lots of rustic wood and rocks, creating a super cozy and romantic vibe. My husband I have been to another location for a date and enjoyed ourselves. This time we brought our kids. Our 9 year old liked it and could handle dipping his own food but, I did not think it was a good choice for our 5 year old. Hot plate, messy fondue, sharp skewers and a quiet, romantic atmosphere are not ideal for a 5 year old. So, we definitely learned our lesson with that. We paid $189 for my husband and I together (couple meal) and it was an additional $94 for our 9 year old. We received 2 appetizer boards with bread, veggies and apples to dip in cheese. (Not sure why my son did not get his own board). Then we each got a salad. Next was the entree, we got 3 plates that had 5 different meats to try. Last was the dessert boards (we only got 2, instead of 3). Each dessert board had strawberries (some strawberries were not good), bananas, a bite of each of the following: brownie, cake, blondie, Rice Krispie, waffle, marshmallow. We had to wait to be seated even though we had a reservation and we had to ask our server for water twice. The quantity and quality of food just did not equal the price. And the portions did not make sense to me, considering we paid full price for a 4 course meal for 3 people but only received 2 apps and 2 desserts. I would definitely not return here.

    Been here several times. Food is always delicious. We had the full meal.... surf and turf, salads, dessert and cocktails. The service is great and the location in Louisville is a favorite. Built in an old mine. The place has several nooks and crannies with tables. Great for an intimate dinner or family group. We always look forward to our meals here.

    Box of 6 Signature Dipped Strawberries

    We had a wonderful experience at The Melting Pot (Louisville) on 01-11-26. This was our first experience at this particular location, and it did not disappoint. What a great ambiance. We were so fortunate to have Jayda as our server, and she went above and beyond. Thank you for the great recommendations and for your amazing attention to detail, Jayda! Our Four-Course Dinner for Two was absolutely delicious! Thank you to Quincy for making our reservation, to Josiah for confirming some additional details pertaining to our reservation (including the box of 6 Signature Dipped Strawberries), the hostess, and to all those that contributed to making our experience such a memorable one!

    Desert is fun and delicious!

    For a special occasion, this is a fun way to celebrate. We went for a birthday and weren't disappointed. Yes, it is pricey and some of the dishes are too small for the price, but the overall experience is great. Our server was wonderful. She helped us with our order, made recommendations to help us save a little money, reminded us to be careful with the hot pots, and always spoke in a reserved but sweet way. The food was delicious, in fact the proteins seemed fresher and more tender than at the Littleton location. We wish more veggies were served with the cheese and broth pots and that the salads were larger. The atmosphere is unique and interesting.

    What a great place to celebrate something! I went for my husband's birthday! It is so much good food and it is pricey, but you do get so much for what you're paying for. By the time we left I was so full! I love that you can have a private space with the curtains, if you want. The server was also super friendly and helpful when we were trying to figure out what to order. It had been over 10 years since I had been to a melting pot location, so there was a lot that had changed. Everything was super tasty and I will definitely be back!

    I haven't been here in 18 years! It was "Moms Night Out for my church group. We were able to reserve a whole section for all our mommas. I ordered their BFFF special which has appetizer, salad entree and dessert included in price. I was seated with a group of ladies who needed to be gluten free. Their GF cheese dip, and chocolate was amazing! It was plenty of food. I enjoyed every bite of each part of the meal from start to finish. I highly recommend visiting here for date night or hanging out with your friends. The service and ambiance was on point. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Burned key

    During my visit the waiter put the wrong burner on and it burned my(Tesla) key. The stand in manger kept questioning me if I was sure it was my car key. I advised without the key I was not able to start the car. She gave me a number for the manager and said if I have any questions to call him. I contacted corporate office and I never received a call back from them but a week later another manager that could not help called me and asked me what I was looking for. This is not my job to determine this. The gentlemen stated that another manager would call me the. Next day and till no call or messages left on my machine. The worst service I have ever had and experience to. Our food was delayed so to the wrong burner turned on and they did not seam to care about that either. I felt do to me being Hispanic they just did not care.

    Charity dinner with mojo seasoned broth

    We had a really great experience here Sunday afternoon celebrating an anniversary. The ambiance of this restaurant makes it a great place to celebrate anniversaries and stuff like that. We were seated and taken care of pretty promptly for our reservation, our server was Min and he was friendly and took great care of us. We aren't the type to do "fine dining" often so it can feel awkward to have your server be doing so much for you, but he made us feel comfortable and explained the menu and everything. The food was amazing, or two people, we were absolutely stuffed afterwards. Their menus are pretty standardized as four course options with various add-ons, so we started with the Wisconsin Cheddar, we each had a house salad, mojo style fondue, and yin yang chocolate fondue. Each fondue is served with an assortment of dippers, and the main course is served with dipping sauces as well that really complimented the dish nicely. With the main course the server will give you general times to cook your meats and guidelines, we have done fondue before so it wasn't too foreign of a concept but it's nice of them to let you know. We did order mixed drinks as well that I feel deserve a shout out, while they were pricier than I'd like, I can't deny that they were delicious. But be careful because the cost for those will sneak up on you, haha! All in all it was a great experience. While it is a pricey one, it was well worth it for the occasion.

The prices are very high, and I don't recommend buying items you can find in your local grocery store or gift shop, but if you find interesting, unique, and beautiful items that you love, then it is worth spending the money, in my opinion. This is a great place to find exceptional gifts, especially for someone who likes to entertain. Must take home a fresh French baguette and some caramels!

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).

Maybe it was the server." But last night we actually spoke to a manager and realized they are in a decline because they have changed their policies and no longer care about repeat customers. Get people in. Charge them high prices. Never give them value. And it doesn't matter if they come back. My wife took her work team of 20 for their holiday party in 2025. They all agreed to never do it again. And then after giving the restaurant a few months to see if it improved, I took my daughter for an early dinner and was treated poorly from the minute I walked in. Can't believe I stuck it out, but the night involved a promise to my daughter. It's a shame to see such a cool location wasted on a bad experience.

The highlight of the evening was the superb service. Our waiter was professional, kind, attentive, and genuinely diligent in making sure everyone at the table was comfortable and well cared for throughout the evening. His warmth and patience, especially with two tired young children in our party late in the evening, were greatly appreciated. The appetizers were excellent, and the bread was truly superb. Most of the meal was enjoyable, though a few dishes did not quite live up to their descriptions. The lentil soup, unfortunately, was rather bland and forgettable, lacking flavor and depth. Two entrées the tilapia specialty and a risotto-style dish also felt somewhat overstated compared to expectations and unfortunately they were way over salted. To the restaurant's credit, concerns were addressed politely and professionally, though the offer of a replacement felt a bit scripted as the evening was growing late. We did choose not to accept the replacement. Overall, however, the atmosphere, hospitality, and thoughtful service made for a very pleasant evening. With a bit more care from the kitchen in matching execution to presentation and description, this charming restaurant could truly shine.

To dine at Chez Maggy and navigate the hospitality ecosystem of The Thompson Denver is to step into a meticulously curated cinematic universe where every gesture is deliberate, every color palette feels intentional, and human kindness is treated as the ultimate luxury asset. It is an environment where staff do not merely anticipate your desires; they dismantle the very need to harbor desires in the first place, operating on a frequency of predictive generosity that leaves one feeling delightfully disarmed. At the absolute epicenter of this symphonic choreography stand two incomparable individuals, Jason, the Food and Beverage Manager, and Bailey, an exceptional server whose presence turns a standard dinner service into an event of genuine human connection. Jason operates with the crisp, unflappable precision of a master conductor, moving through the bustling terrain of The Thompson with a quiet, elegant professionalism that anchors the entire operation. In an industry too often prone to transactional coldness, Jason possesses the rare and vintage gift of treating hospitality as a high art form rooted in absolute sincerity. Upon my arrival, he greeted me by name with a warmth so authentic it instantly erased the frantic static of travel. This was not the rehearsed familiarity of a corporate script, but the intentional, sharp memory of a true professional who understands that a person's name is the finest note in any conversation. Throughout the stay, his oversight of the food and beverage program manifested in a series of flawless iterations, ensuring that every detail was exact, every transition was seamless, and every guest felt singularly important. Jason does not simply manage a department; he curates an atmosphere of safety and sophisticated comfort, balancing a sharp, dignified executive presence with a deep, accessible kindness that elevates the entire hotel standard. Steps away at Chez Maggy, Bailey transforms the dining room into a theater of radical hospitality, offering a masterclass in service that goes far beneath the surface of menus and silverware. Bailey is quite frankly exceptional, possessing a luminous energy and a sharp, witty intellect that commands immediate affection. What elevates Bailey from a brilliant server to an unforgettable human being is a profound capacity for empathy, delivered through the sharing of an awesome lived experience that instantly bridges the gap between stranger and friend. Rather than maintaining the rigid, invisible wall so common in upscale dining, Bailey engages with a rich, textured perspective on life that mirrors our own complexities, validating our shared human journeys with effortless grace. This unique willingness to connect on a soulful level creates an immediate sense of home, wrapping the table in a cozy, familiar embrace that makes you forget you are sitting in a public restaurant. Bailey reads the emotional landscape of a table with astonishing accuracy, dishing out comfort, laughter, and brilliant recommendations in equal, perfectly timed portions. Together, Jason and Bailey represent the absolute pinnacle of what modern luxury should aspire to be, proving that the most memorable aspect of any journey is never the brick and mortar, but the remarkable people who inhabit it. Their combined kindness, paired with an uncanny ability to anticipate every unspoken whim before it even materializes as a thought, transformed this birthday celebration into a masterpiece of joy. To find one individual who remembers your name and treats your presence as an honor is a stroke of luck; to find two within the same establishment who make you feel deeply understood and completely at home is an absolute triumph of hospitality. For anyone seeking an escape defined by clever sophistication, brilliant conversation, and a level of care that feels both deeply nostalgic and entirely refreshing, look no further than the unparalleled team of Jason and Bailey at The Thompson and Chez Maggy.
