Went for the first time tonight with my family. It,was,a total of eight of us. Our server Acelynn handled our big party extremely well. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and helped us figure out how things worked. She advised us at the start that it would be about a three hour experience and she was spot on. I'd say the time between courses could've been faster but it did give us time to interact with each other. The food itself was pretty good. I went with the classic entree and I think I'd go,with something different next time. Overall a good experience and I'd recommend it for special occasions. read more

Went here for dinner. Everything thing was great. Rylee was our server and she was attentive and friendly. We will be back again

They have started charging customers a "technology fee" for their technical devices. Why the heck would the customers have to pay more for your electronics equipment when the food is already expensive? I just ate there (alone). I got a mocktail, cheese fondue, a salad and chocolate fondue. My bill came to $47 without tip. I didn't even get the typical fondue cooking meal. Then I get charged extra for your devices. I won't be coming back. You're killing your own business with this BS. read more

Went here a month ago for a friends Birthday dinner. All I can say is it's not my cup of tea. Service seemed slow, I believe this was due to the amount of sprits we were drinking. I'm not a big fan of raw meat being at the table and me having to cook it! read more

Great place for a romantic date night or quality family time around a fondue pot. Highly recommend the date night special as you get to pick a cheese fondue , salads, meat fondue, and chocolate fondue. It is a long meal, but that leaves more time for conversation and quality time. The service was also good. Highly recommend for fondue at the beach. read more

Made a reservation for Mothers Day, no where on their website did they say they had a "set menu" and you couldn't order off their regular menu. After taking our drink order, our waitress informed us that we could only order off the set menu. This menu had nothing I would eat. I'm allergic to fish and both the main entrees had some sort of seafood on it!! And our waitress made a big deal of not being able to change or switch anything out so I wouldn't have been able to get the fish switched for something else!! I come to the melting pot at least twice a month. I always order the same thing and it's usually wonderful. Since I could not do that today, we decided to leave. We were still charged for all of our undrank drinks and gratuity was added!! I've never had such a terrible experience at a restaurant I frequent very often. I'm not sure I'll be back. read more

Our server Nathan was outstanding he is a ROCKSTAR . Nathan was so helpful and was able to make us coffee very late and explain all of the deserts. read more

Nathan is a fantastic server. Very friendly. Funny. Love coming here. Staff is awesome.

Everything was amazing! The vibes were great from the second i walked in the door and was greeted by the host to sitting down with Nathan who was a great server and told us everything we needed to know as first time guests. The manager on duty was Mr Aaron and he came and checked on us to make sure everything was great, which everything was. Definitely will return when in town! read more

the food is AMAZING, flavorful with variety for everyone. The service is amazing, the managment and staff are kind, friendly, and frequently check in without being present to an annoying extent, had plaenty of time to eat and talk and didn't get rushed out the door. The overall vibe and Ambiance is calm, top tier, and definitely the best for a date, graduation or celebratory meal, etc. Definitely needs a Michelin Star review. read more

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 . read more

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. read more

Food: steak Grisly, small portions, dessert best part. Service terrible. We arrived at 6pm with plans for after dinner dinner lasted until 9pm 2 hrs after all tables around us. read more

Overall: Okay hear me out, I've seen some good reviews and some bad ones. Most of the bad reviews highlight that the service takes long etc etc. The good reviews will say the same as what I am about to write. This is NOT a quick bite, it was never meant to be. Me and my wife just finished dinner here at melting pot Pensacola and chose the 4 course for 2 option. I personally think it was worth it for a nicer date night (however if you're looking for a wealthy buffet of food maybe look elsewhere like I said that's not what melting pot is meant for). This restaurant is meant to be a nice place for you, and your loved ones - to take your time, catch up with each other,and enjoy the atmosphere while having some bites of food. That's exactly what I wanted when I made reservations, for me and my wife to have 1.5-3hours to talk and catch up with each other after a busy work week. Service: Impeccable! My Only complaint is they didn't put enough chocolate fondue in the pot lol. It reminded me of the inner layer of chocolate lava cake if you care for that type of dessert. Our server (Jack) was so caring, knew the menu, was very informative and helpful. We even asked if we can just finish our drinks and chill for a bit even though it was past closing time and he said no problem, no stress. Food: It was great, not the absolute best (it's no Michelin star restaurant) but certainly not bad in any way, IF you know how to cook your food to your liking! The give you a QR code to scan that alots for a cooking timer for what type of meat you want to cook etc (from my experience if the whole given time is used for the timer it well be more well-done than rare etc) Honestly give it a shot if you haven't had melting pot before, just take what I said into consideration otherwise your experience may not be what you're expecting. read more

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 read more

The Melting Pot - They set the table with roses and candles for date night - Fondue Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Everything was very good! Ace took great care of us! Im sure we will definitely go back!

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. read more

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. read more

My daughter and I had a fun time here. Don't come here if you're in a rush. We had the four course dinner for two.

Decided to spend Mother's Day here. 4 generations at that!! It was a total waste of money!! Upon arrival we explained to the waiter that we had not visited a melting pot before, so we had no idea what to do or what to expect. The only thing he explained to us was that he was going to melt the cheese other than that, he brought our meat out, sat it on the table with a pot of water And walked away. He came back about five minutes later with a paper, telling us to scan it for the cooking times of our meats and walked away again. we had no idea what to do how to do it nothing it was a total disaster. We never got refills on our drinks. only when we asked him he would come to the Table to pick up or to swap out the pots for different items such as cheese, the water or the chocolate, but never refilled or brought out new sodas until we asked. And I know our experience was not good after looking over at other tables of people getting everything explained to them as the other waitresses were bringing out the food items they took their time and explained step by step. My daughter also has back problems, we asked if we could sit in a booth because it was cushioned to her back. they said no, even though our waiter had tables inside and out where we were sitting. we seen empty tables inside but it was explained to us that those customers picked those inside tables. I asked a few couples, they said no they did not pick those tables. so they lied to us about that!!! One more thing just came to mind. We also saw a fryer. Which was never offered to us. we had to boil our salmon and steak, which I have never heard of, but because I was new to the experience, I thought it was something you had to do. read more

We did the "Oktoberfest" special. It was very good, absolutely no question on that. Value and portions were a bit lacking though. Party of two, we were shorted a bit on the cheese fondue as we ran out about 2/3 of the way through our "dippers". Really left us wanting more. (We are not a big couple either 140 lbs and 130 lbs). Chocolate fondue was awesome. Only wish they got the portions a bit more correct. Salad comes out AFTER the entree? That seems weird, suggest you ask to get it first... like any normal restaurant. read more

Food is always good (you make it yourself?) , best ambiance in the area, and the service is was stands out to me. Hands down the best service I have received yet. I'll be back soon with friends! read more

Everything was excellent! Food , service top notch! My girlfriend got in a fender bender on the way, checked me and said we would be seated whenever she arrived. The gave her a box of chocolate covered strawberries, because they felt bad. That was above and beyond. read more

The service was amazing! Don't remember the servers name but she had glasses and reddish hair and was fantastic! We got the spinach and artichoke cheese and it was amazing!! Our favorite entrees were the black pepper steak, mushroom ravioli, and garlic steak. We then got the yin and yang chocolate and it was amazing!! read more

My family and I appreciate the staff and our server Aaron. One of our sons in the Navy proposed to his girlfriend earlier that evening and we are so glad that we celebrated at the Melting Pot!!!

Way over priced and no matter how long we cooked the steak it still came out tasting like raw meat. Lots of bread with the cheese course. The best course was desert. If we ever go back it'll be after we ate somewhere else and then went for desert. read more

Went to have a nice dinner with my daughter. When I made the reservation I was asked if there were food allergies, which I said yes, to mushrooms. The hostess asked us when we arrived and again I told her yes, mushrooms. When we ordered, we got mushrooms. Aggravating. We ordered the broth cook style with shrimp and chicken. The chicken wasn't looking too good, but also the broth which was supposed to be vegetable broth was so spicy we couldn't even eat our food. It had been a very long time since eating here, and I was very disappointed. Can't say I will be visiting again anytime soon. read more

Okay so I've always wanted to go here but our location closed down before I had a chance to experience. So we went here for the Easter dinner experience and it was decent. For the amount they charge for me it was definitely not worth it. So I know they try to make the ambiance I guess romantic but man the dim lighting makes it very hard to see not only the menu but also the doneness of your meats. It was such a drag trying to cook my meats in the pot and then trying to determine if It was fully cooked or not since I could hardly see. The cheese fondue was okay nothing to brag about. It came with assorted breads, apples, carrots broccoli and tomatoes. The next course was salads and the bacon and blue was great, as I love blue and Gorgonzola cheeses. It was just a little overdressed but still good. Next up were the meats which I had pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp. The only meat I enjoyed was the chicken and shrimp. We also had salmon, beef, teriyaki beef and mushroom ravioli. And the best part of that was the salmon. The cook of choice was the one that contained wine and mushrooms. It did have flavor but I wish we would have chosen frying or grilling option. I think it would have tasted better texturally and it would been easier to tell if it was cooked. Finally dessert. We chose the banana foster white chocolate and dulce de leche. It came with pound cake, assorted fruits, assorted marshmallows, brownies, and I added on some macaroons (for an extra fee) it came with 2 one chocolate and one raspberry. Overall, it's overrated and pricey. Since I have had to opportunity to experience I probably won't come back. I would recommend utilized a good light source when dining since it is hard to see while eating. read more

Came to take my friends out as a celebration, the hostess asked us if we were okay with sitting in the bar area and we said okay. I wouldn't have said yes if I knew we would get horribly slow service with the bartender making drinks most of the night and coming over to us every now and then. On top of that I told the hostess we had a gluten allergy, but the server didn't know or bring out gluten free options unless asked to. When we got our cookies and cream chocolate fondue, he put the Oreos in the chocolate and when we told him no we can have them he just scooped them out and left. I couldn't eat the chocolate because of the contamination, but with the super slow service didn't bother to ask for a new one since we were now late to an event. Wouldn't recommend to anyone with an allergy or event after a dinner. I don't ended up paying for a meal that I couldn't eat read more

There is NEVER an excuse for a server to be lazy, haughty, or unkempt. Tell your team to do it right, or go elsewhere. Poor lighting, tables too high for chair height, inadequate grill, bland meats, incorrect toppings, and the list goes on. The common thread I see is the unwillingness of PAYING CUSTOMERS to tell their server to SEND THE MANAGER.....and then address any terrible service, poor attitudes, or unsat food quality with him/her. No patron should ever hesitate to SPEAK UP. It is not considered unacceptable to call out bad service or crappy attitudes. If an order is wrong...send it back, do NOT at sonething you don't want...and certainly do not pay for it. If the server is adversarial....get the manager. If a table is bad...change tables. If they won't move you...walk out. Prices are ridiculously high...but it seems service and motivation have taken a dive. It is YOUR hard-earned money. Don't give it away to any establishment that is not willing to earn it. Often, the manager may not know about many unsat issues. Tell them personally... Managers...and especially OWNERS...should appreciate info they should pass to their employees at a training session or one-on-one with a server or chef/cook. Every owner or manager should publicly address the sincere comments in Yelp. Don't ignore problems... Merry Christmas... read more

Excellent dining experience at the Melting Pot last night. The staff here are wonderful and attentive. They gave us great recommendations when ordering. Cheese fondue and salad were yummy. Highlight of the experience was the chocolate fondue, we went with the turtle with caramel, it was sinful. We did the mojo for the meats but I'd probably go with the grill table top next time around. Great places to social with friends or date night. read more

The atmosphere was quiet and we were able to talk without a lot of outside disruptions. The music playing was low. read more
