    Check for two people... with $30 tip $178.89. Was it worth it? No not a great value.
    Omar A.

    If you are here for the gimmicky experience and it's your first time, you might like it or not. You cook everything table side. The lighting is a bit too dim. I guess they are aiming for a romantic atmosphere. It's hard to see if your food is cooked or not. Even with the timer, I ended up cooking my steak well done. I prefer medium rare. With it to dim, I can't tell. Also I ended up always over cooking the shrimp. Once you've been here is really nothing special about fondue. This is my 4th time and the excitement wore off after the first time. Is it over priced? For small bite slices of sirloin, chicken, pork, shrimp $59 + $5 or the steak only $59 + $7 (sirloin 3 different style (garlic pepper/ teriyaki / bourbon glaze) All You Can Eat (AYCE just main course only) probably not. For that price they should use better cuts of meat. For 2 people with a $30 tip, the check was a little under $179. Was it worth it? No, I could go up the street to Rodizio Grill for better cuts of meat for $50 less for two and you get a filet (tenderloins) and you don't have to cook anything. Better yet at HQ Korean BBQ and Hotpot was a better value for less than $100 for two. The AYCE main course is only available Monday - Thursday until August 1, 2024. It's better to be here before 6pm because they close at 9pm. We arrived at 7pm and felt a bit rushed. Service and cooking time takes away from your eating time. It just felt I ate for less than 30 minutes with waiting time (mostly waiting for the food to cook or the fondue or grill to heat up totaled about 1.5 hours). I basically ended up having 2 refills. The refill amount is very small. I would advise to order something else when your order arrives. If you never been here, at least try it once. The experience is as gimmicky as a hibachi grill less the show. You either love it or "ehh, been there done that" kinda of experience. Perfect for a romantic date, or celebrating an anniversary. However, it can be a bit pretentious if you've both already been here. I gave it 3 stars because of our server Lindsay. She was great - very friendly. Otherwise, it would be 2 stars because it is over priced. The value is dismal. Note: you can eat low carb / keto as long as u stay away from desert and bread with the cheese fondue.

    We've come to this location 3 times now . Always great servers and a great time with family . Only thing kinda annoying is it's expensive and the breads seem old not fresh . Pound cake is our favorite and last visit they were very old tasting . We asked server if any were fresh and she said that's all they had . Rice crispies also kinda old tasting . We check website every now and then to see if our white wine cheese returns . It was the best one we've had .

    They set the table with roses and candles for date night

    We got the 4 course meal for two and it was unbelievable! Our server was Jack and it was honestly the best customer service I've gotten, They knew in advance that it was date night and set the table with roses and candles, and the ambience in general is very romantic The food is amazing especially the Chocolate Fondue at the end. Please remember this is supposed to be an event, it's supposed to be at least 2 hours because you have to cook your food, most of these reviews complain about how long it takes, but the courses are supposed to be a while to self cook, this won't be a fast meal. I would defiantly eat here again, both the manager and our server were so kind and accommodating ALSO the drinks are AMAZING! I got the Lemon berry Mojito and the Love martini, along with the Bee Pollen tea (yes we did spend about $100 on drinks for two because of how good it was) so whoever the bartender was deserves a raise because not only was it good food but we got a nice buzz too, the PERFECT place for date night

    Came here for dinner on Saturday for a date night. We did the bigger night out selection for our entre and it was well worth the price. Our waiter Chris was very informative of the menu and had an exuberant personality. The drinks were top quality and the food was delicious but the experience of cooking the food was definitely the highlight of my experience. This is a go to spot when you're in Pensacola.

    Expresso Martini.  Meh..

    This was our second visit to a Melting Pot location. A nice getaway for a couple. It was a similar experience as last time. Decent service and somewhat generic ingredients with nothing very memorable once you've been here. They offer different fondue pot options. Basically, it's a four course meal. Personally, would much rather spend the money KBBQ or Hot Pot establishment. Nice experience, but for the price not really worth it in my opinion.

    Our table

    The atmosphere is perfect for date night or celebrating a special occasion. It was my 57th birthday dinner and it was perfect. The drinks, the food and our waiter Jack were totally awesome. We will definitely return since they will be adding some new things to the menu soon.

    Love Martini
    Miranda C.

    The food was delicious and service was 10/10. Our server Jack was friendly and very knowledgeable. I started dinner with the Love Martini it's perfect if you like your drinks on the sweeter side. My boyfriend and I decided to go with the complete fondue experience for two. Let me tell you the loaded baked potato fondue was superb, I highly recommend! The complete experience was so much food, we both left fat and happy.

Our waiter, Craig, was outstanding--funny, personable, attentive, and truly enhanced our dining experience. The filets were cooked perfectly to order, tender and flavorful, and the butter sauce was the perfect complement to the meat. Every aspect of the meal was thoughtfully prepared and expertly executed. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend Voyager to anyone seeking a five-star dining experience in Orange Beach.

When we first arrived at the resort, we were in awe by the beautiful landscaping. We arrived early and decided to have a cocktail at the resort bar before our dinner reservation at 7:30PM. There was live music in the lounge area. When we checked in for our reservation, we were seated right away by a window, which I requested. The view was nice. Our waitress was quiet and seemed very busy with multiple tables. For appetizers, we ordered the fried quail knots and a bowl of soup. For dinner, we ordered the duroc pork chop and 10 oz filet. For sides, we ordered Bayside Blue Mac and Potato Hash. Overall, everything was VERY rich and decadent, heavy. The pork chop was tough, the filet was very thick and tough, the sides were salty, saucy, and heavy. Overall, the resort is nice and the view inside the restaurant is pretty but the food was too heavy and rich for my liking.

We came in for a late lunch on a week day so it was not busy at all, but our server still seemed pretty scatter brained for some reason.

The rest of our table got enchiladas and the quesadilla and really enjoyed it. Overall not a terrible place to be, but don't think it would be good on a busy night. Service just did not feel very personal, felt like just another wallet in a tourist restaurant.

I have to say, out of the many times we've visited, Kim truly stood out as the highlight. Some people simply have a natural gift for hospitality, and it's clear that she does. Beyond her professionalism, she genuinely seems to enjoy what she does, and that makes all the difference. She was exceptional from beginning to end, attentive, warm, and perfectly in tune with our experience. Your establishment is incredibly fortunate to have someone like her representing it. Thank you, Kim, for making our evening such a memorable one.

I tried a few bites of a few different things, like the lobster mac and cheese, king crab, filet mingon, and blackened snapper. Nothing disappointed whatsoever. For the price, maybe not so worth it. It definitely was an expensive venue. Service was next to perfect, Chris was great. The actual place itself was pretty inside and out, and the indoor aquarium was nice to look at. If you have the money, its worth trying.

    5 stars. BUT/ very detailed review of my experience---…read more This place was nice. We made a reservation maybe 4-5 days in advance bc we had 17 on a Saturday night. 8:30 res. When you arrive they have valet parking. The front when you walk in is the cutest coolest thing! There's an outdoor "speed" bar with beer seltzer and some wine options. I think a high noon was $5 and moscato was $10. Which are the 2 items I looked for. Very normal prices. The outdoor seating area ambiance was great and I would've loved to sit out there with a drink! Great spot for pictures and just the vibe. Ok inside- sooooo cool! Didn't know what to expect when ppl said aquarium in the reviews but yea it's huge. When u walk in, Smelled so good like fresh dessert. Made us wait for our whole party inside before we could sit but I understand places do that. ----Quick timeline with a large group on Sat night / Sat at 8:35 I think, ordered drinks at 8:45 or so, appetizers came at 9:20, bread came at 9:50 (would not bring until we ordered entrees & had our appetizers already), food came at 10:15-20. I think we left at 10:45-50. ---- Food was very good, I pretty much liked everything I tried! The people that ordered steaks- all of theirs were overcooked some and they didn't like how tough they were. My bf's prime rib was overcooked as well. The salmon was fishy tasting to me (I get it's fish- I don't normally like fish, Ive had salmon that isn't fishy and I prefer it that way LOL- my friends that like fish loved the salmon!!) I loved the Mac n cheese! A friend loved the shrimp n grits & said it's the best he's ever had (and we are southerners). Egg roll appetizer was great, bang bang shrimp appetizer was great. Everyone seemed really happy with their meals for the most part except for the people that got steak. There are a lot of reviews about this place being really expensive, but I think their prices are similar to any nice restaurant. The price is well worth the food in my opinion/ okay another big thing-- I wanted a side salad as one of my sides, I saw a table next to us get them so I asked the waiter (way before we ordered) if my entrée came with a side salad. He seemed like he didn't want to tell me, but then he said all the entrees come with a complementary salad. My friend and I were so excited because we were talking about all week wanting to go to a restaurant that had a good side salad! What the waiter did not mention is that they were all served with a vinaigrette on it. They don't tell you about the salads when taking your order or ask you about a preferred dressing. It's just a surprise. I found that to be pretty disappointing and annoying considering we asked about ordering a side salad. He told us that we got one and didn't mention the dressing. Salads are a spring mix lettuce and every single person had 3 cherry tomato halves lol/ a few people asked for ranch dressing and he brought some. The ranch dressing was very good and we all poured it over the salad. Most people don't like vinaigrette though so I think it's silly that they don't ask or tell you or just bring it plain with dressings on the side. I guess because it's complementary they don't care. The bread-- SO GOOD! Huge, fluffy but also some crunch. It's warm, served with oil. It was so good. Took an hour and a half to bring it to the table since they want you to order appetizers first. Drinks were good and strong. I got 1 blueberry martini, very yummy. The raspberry one was good too, everyone liked their drinks. We told them when we sat we were celebrating an engagement & they brought a piece of cheesecake once 4 people had already left and right as we were getting ready to leave. Also, we had a reservation for 17 people at 8:30, 8 Sat on one side and 9 on the other and we were slammed pretty tight, the side with 9 were crunched up so bad. It was pretty pretty loud inside also. I think the menu is average to small but everything seemed great. Saw some reviews about not having enough flavor and I would say that everything is averagely seasoned. I think the veggies could definitely use some more flavor. Feel like their staff is heavily trained and Don't love the way that they time things because I feel like it's it's in order to get more money out of you, but I liked the restaurant and ultimately would come back here. Next time I come to PCB it would be on my list.
