I definitely think the Melting Pot is worth the price. The atmosphere and service are great, along with the food. We got the four course experience and everything was great. The cheese fondue (surprisingly) was our least favorite part of the meal. P.s. the teriyaki marinated sirloin is the BEST. We will definitely be back! read more

This was the first time I've been here since they moved across the street from their original location. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice. It's definitely somewhere I'd like to come back to for happy hour or wine and cheese fondue. We were here for a birthday dinner and Alex, our server, was beyond accommodating and very patient. He was great! We did the dinner for two which was reasonably priced for the cheese fondue, salad, entree and chocolate fondue selections. The drinks were just as good. The black cherry cosmo and white peach cosmo were very tasty! read more

My best friend and I came here for my birthday a week ago. It was my first time here but my friend has been plenty of times. As a first timer, I was a little bit disappointed in the amount of meat you get of 4-5 pieces of each however it was very filling and I honestly couldn't have eaten more. I had the shrimp, tuna, and filet minion. I guess 5 squares of steak just made me crave more. The experience of cooking at the table was fun and our waitress explained cooking times simplistically. All of the sauces were delicious! Due to covid, we were limited on fondue choice quantities as she informed us. I'm not a sweet eater but the fruits were delicious - we had the white chocolate banana type sauce? It was super sweet, I'm bad with names. Overall my experience was great and the server brought me a complimentary piece of cake for my birthday. FYI apparently they used to gift chocolate for your birthday but discontinued this. read more

Had our tiny wedding here and everything was phenomenal! Our server was amazing, incredibly attentive, and was just an overall sweetheart. She even served us chocolate-covered strawberries on the house for the certificate signing! Food was fantastic! We had the Bigger Night Out option for the table and we were all in awe of the amount of food you get. My favorite part was the entree portion since it came with shrimp and lobster. It paired perfectly with the Mojo pot. Definitely going back! read more

It's always a joy coming here. I'm pretty sure it's the only place in PGH where you can get fondue. I visited here Friday afternoon and was greeted so kindly by Deja. My friend and I were told that all the tables were booked up for the night and there was limited bar seating. We decided to be patient and after about a 5 minute wait, Deja greeted us again with a smile and told us to follow her. It felt like we were getting personalized service. I loved it! I ended up sharing the s'mores fondue and it was good as always. While there, I was told about their promo that happens every Wednesday. For $30, you can get a cheese fondue, salad and dessert fondue!! I can't wait to come back and take advantage of that deal! read more

Banana foster desert Specs: White chocolate melted with bananas and dulce de leche then flambéed. It comes with a variety of fruits and snacks to dip.

I'd not been to Station Square in years and was happy to see the Melting Pot doing a brisk business as usual. Our server, Gabby, was fantastic--knowledgeable about the the menu and extremely personable. She made recommendations for the main course fondues, advised on drafts that paired well with the cheese fondue course, brought samples of two beers I was debating between before I even asked, and later showed us ingredients to answer questions we had during the chocolate fondue course. I'd highly recommend asking for her if you go! read more

Been meaning to come here for so long and we finally did. My boyfriend made reservations and it was our anniversary so they decorated the table with rose petals and candles - it was so nice! Our server Gabby was awesome and recommended the S'mores chocolate fondue, which is what we got with the salted caramel cheesecake on the side. Everything was delicious! Would highly recommend and even though it's on the pricey end, will definitely have to come back to try the 4 course meal! read more

Food: Food was great, I took my boyfriend and friends as a birthday celebration and we enjoyed every second of it. One thing I will say is my 21 year old friend was not able to have an alcoholic beverage just because the rest of the table was not above 25. Service: Great service, our waiter was very nice and we were check up on consistently. I wish the directions were just a bit more clearer for my first time friends. Ambiance: Very modern, sets the scene nicely read more

Melting Pot is a fun place to go for a special occasion. I only knocked a star off for how expensive it can be, but everything else about it is great. This location is fairly new (they moved across the street) and I really liked the different ambiance! It's more open and brighter than other Melting Pots I've been to, but still romantic. Our waiter was extremely friendly, taking time to chat with us while he was making our fondue. I'm a vegetarian, but my boyfriend is not, and they were able to accommodate my need for a separate cooking broth pot with no issues! I really appreciated that. We went during their $45 endless fondue event, and it was great. We got 2 cheese fondues, salads, endless entrees, and endless chocolate fondue and we were STUFFED by the end (in the best way). We were also there for almost 3 hours, so don't come if you're in a rush. Again it's a little pricey, so I probably wouldn't come here unless there was a promo happening again, or I would just get cheese and chocolate. But I really appreciate that they try to give you an experience, not just a meal. read more

The Melting Pot is a great place for happy hour. I can't really speak to having a whole meal here since I'm not a cheese eater but the chocolate fondue is so good and fun! It comes with fruit, waffles, brownies, Oreo dusted marshmallows, pound cake, and cookies. You can pick the kind of chocolate you want and we got the flaming turtle which is milk chocolate melted with caramel and flambéed. I love the drinks here. They make some delicious cocktails like the love martini and the sangria. The wine selection is great too! I loved the Sauvignon blanc. The staff is sooo nice here and they really felt like we could be good friends. We liked the charcuterie board here, there's a good selection of cured meats and cheeses. I like all the accompaniments like mustard, jam, nuts, and fruit. The cheese fondue looked awesome too (though I don't eat cheese). We got the spinach artichoke and my friend said it was good. It came with sausage and shrimp and prosciutto wrapped asparagus. I think a lot of people mostly complain about the price here but the happy hour seems reasonable! read more

This place is always packed! Make a reservation! Came here 6pm on a Saturday without a reservation. Of course everything was taken and the wait time for a table was over 2 hours, but we were lucky to sit at the bar, which is equipped with a hot plate to enjoy a full fondue meal. The waiters take an active part in your meal experience. They set up and operate the hot plate, making your fondues for you. Both waiters/bartenders at the bar were very friendly and courteous. Very well mannered and charismatic. The chit chat was genuine and pleasant. The ambiance is casual and relaxed. Dimmed lighting, booths, tables, a bar. Good for big groups. Good for any occasion--date, friend or family hangout, or just a treat in the middle of the week. You can order anything off the menu, people usually do a four course meal, but we did a three course, as we weren't that hungry. For the first course, the cheese fondue, we got was Formaggio ($9.95 per person). Earthy and herbacious, as the menu describes it. A mix of Buttercase, Mozzarella, Fontina, Parmesan, and herbs. Could definitely feel those herbs. Comes with bread, apple, celery and carrot dippers. I was honestly expecting more. The cheeses aren't of the highest quality, and I'm very into good cheeses, so for me this fondue was underwhelming. You could taste that distinct aftertaste of cheap cheese. Cheese connoisseurs should look for a different cheese fondue place, not a chain, which saves on ingredients and charges such below average prices. Then we got the salads. Caesar and California ($5.95 per person). The portions are really tiny--just a slight appetizer bite to get your appetite going, so keep in mind that a three course meal might not leave you full. The salads were fresh and flavorful. Simple Caesar, nothing new or extraordinary. Recommend the California--mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, candied pecans, gorogonzolo cheese, house made cranberry vinaigrette, which was as sweet as dessert sauce, so be prepared for the sweetest salad of your life. The salad was tasty, just very sweet and reminded me of a dessert rather than an appetizer. The crowning jewel of the fondue experience for me was the dessert. All the menu options are so enticing and delicious--choosing a chocolate will be the hardest decision of your day. Glad I went with the gut and got the Flaming Turtle ($9.95 per person). The waiter flambés the chocolate in front of you, pouring the shot of liquor in the pot "to give the turtle some flight!" Then in go caramel and caramelized pecans. The result--heavenly sweet perfection! Each dessert fondue comes with a delicious plate of small dipping goodies. Strawberries, bananas, pineapples, shortcake, brownie and blondie bites, crispy rice treats, marshmallows, waffles. Dipping all that into caramel chocolate is every sweet addict's dream. Just perfect. You can also order additional, deluxe, sweets for dipping for $5 more per person. Wish the experience could last forever. Licked our plates clean! The prices of this chain are very reasonable. A solid meal for the price. Service and ambiance are great for any occasion. Definitely recommend and will be back. read more

I went here on a date night and got the Wisconsin cheddar cheese fondue, and the land and sea dinner. The Fondue was amazing and always is! The land and sea was also amazing and we chose to cook it with the court bouillon which was delicious as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you want an experience, as you do have to cook your own food so you should expect to spend 1-2 hours here. The wait staff has also always been very friendly and knowledgeable when asked for recommendations! If you're ever in Station Square, definitely stop by or make it a night out! read more

This has always been one of my favorite places. I love their new location! I came here with a group for restaurant week and we're not disappointed. The menu is pretty similar throughout the year with some changes in the chocolate fondue. My favorite is the fiesta cheese fondue and the Alpine. I just can't get enough and never want to share! They had a bananas foster chocolate fondue this time and it was superb! Highly recommend! read more

Well, I want to preface by saying the food here isn't bad, and the service is great. HOWEVER, the amount of food you get for the price is laughable. I ordered the surf and turf and received literally 4 pre cut bites of filet and 6 shrimp for $35. You also get enough sauce to literally taste it, there was not enough to even come close to being able to flavor your entire meal. They are great tasting, as is most of the food, but the cost is just completely insane. The cheese was probably the worst part of it all, and we thought we were playing safe by doing Wisconsin cheddar, it was bitter and poorly melted. I can go to a Michelin starred restaurant for what they charge, even if they slashed prices 40-50% I would still say it's too much for how little you get. Plus I'm cooking it myself! Increase the portion sizes so I don't feel like I'm getting completely ripped off and maybe I would consider a better rating but as is it's just a pretentious place that is trying to see themselves on an "experience" instead of being a nice place to eat where you feel good paying what you did. read more

You definitely pay for the experience - but it makes a great date night. I like this place even more since they moved to the new location! I felt it was really dark and dingy in the old space... the new space is great! We have sat outside when the weather was nice - this was awesome. Also if you don't want to smell like chicken when you leave (plus your coats, purses, etc) sitting outside or upstairs seems to help. However, it seems to be unavoidable. They have specials and deals a lot for different events (holidays, happy hours, restaurant week) so keep your eyes peeled for those to save some cash. However during some of these events, you may feel a little rushed as they try to flip tables. Our favorites: Quattro Formaggio cheese (literally the best), house salads, normal court bullion or the oil option for cooking entrees, and the turtle chocolate. If you get the oil (which we love) you get batters to fry it in. Fried broccoli is the best, and you can usually ask for extra. Also, if you have a party of two you can request a table with two burners so you can try two options for the rounds. We love melting pot! read more

We recently visited The Melting Pot as a party of five to celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday. I was a little put off upon arrival by the 5 hostesses chatting away, seeming very annoyed to have to speak to me. We were seated at a booth which was honestly too small for five adults. This was apparent immediately as we tried to navigate the many, many menu documents that were placed on the table. Our waitress Amanda was extremely personable, explained everything well, and very attentive. Despite her wonderful service, we all struggled to read the extensive menus in the dimly lit, snug booth. We ultimately decided on our meals and enjoyed some drinks while waiting for our first course. When the cheeses arrived, the small booth again proved to inadequate. Elbows bumping and tangled forks, we struggled to serve ourselves. Salad arrived while we were still working on the cheese and we were furthered crowded at the table. Once we finished salads and those dishes were cleared we had slightly more room for our entrees but it was still very challenging, especially since platters are shared. The burners running really heated up the table and the side of the booth with three people became uncomfortably warm. The dim lighting made it very difficult to determine if the meats were cooked to our liking. Our whole party was disappointed in the quality of the steaks overall. The portions of the entrees were very generous and no one was left hungry. We finished with our two chocolate pots which were indulgent and wonderful but impossible to finish since we were so full of everything else. Our server also brought a "Happy Birthday" slice of cake with a candle, which was very kind and appreciated. My grandmother enjoyed the experience and novelty of it all, which was why we choose the restaurant. If we were to return, I would request a larger table and maybe bring a head light- just kidding! read more

First timers here, dined on the patio in August and it was beautiful. We did the 9 pm special, cheese, chocolate, and wine for 50$ and it was perfect. Was definitely a sweet date night. Had the loaded bake potato cheese which had chunks of potato through it. It came with different breads and some veggies. The pretzel bread was amazing. Got the smores chocolate which they flambe at the table for a magical presentation. It came with all kinds of sweets and goodies. The service was good and we have no complaints. Can't wait to return! read more

This was my first time having fondue and it was great! We tried the classic alpine and Quattro Formaggio and both were delicious. The classic was exactly that, cheese forward, while the latter tasted more like basil and sun dried tomatoes. I got the Pacific Rim as my entree and my favorite was the duck breast. For dessert, we tried both the Flaming Turtle and dark chocolate. I preferred the plain dark chocolate; however, the Flaming Turtle was good too. I also got a Melting Pot mule and I thoroughly enjoyed the kick of the ginger. The overall meal was definitely more of an experience and it was so much fun. read more

I finally experienced the Melting Pot, something my family and I have always wanted to try. I will say this: the service was excellent, and everyone worked very hard to make our experience as great as they could. My family and I all ordered the Bigger Night Out full experience with the added lobster tail. We all agreed that the cheese fondues we received with the bread and veggies was very tasty. Our salad that we got was also awesome. When it came to the actual "meal" part, we were a little underwhelmed--and overwhelmed--with how this part went. The meats we received were "okay", but we all personally thought the filet we were given was off-putting. It didn't taste right. Also, the preparation of our own meats in either the broth or the grill was overwhelming, and wasn't as good as we expected it to be. The sides that came with the meats (potatoes, broccoli, etc) took WAY too long to cook in the methods provided. The "boiled" version of our meats was not something we'd ever do again. We opted for the Coq au Vin pot, and it just didn't do it for us. The grilled was better, but again...took too long. We finally realized that something happened to the table hot plate, and it wasn't even on. When we finally got this all working again--it still took too long to cook for a whole table of people on one tiny grill. It was just a not-so-great experience with this part of the meal. If everyone would've had the ability to cook their food--this may have been better. But, with a $400 check to have 7 people trying to cook their meats/veggies on two small cooking apparatus--when you're all hungry--just didn't cut it for us. The dessert was awesome. We tried the original milk, the one with the crunchy peanut butter added, and the turtle. AMAZING. Final verdict: We'd go back again for a cheese fondue app and dessert, but you'd probably never catch us in there again for an actual dinner. read more

AMAZING experience! My boyfriend and I went there for our two year anniversary dinner, and it was everything we could've dreamed of. Note* parking can get very confusing. We were about 15 minutes late to our reservation because we had to walk a bit from our car. We are not from the area so we were not aware! Parking where we did was only $5. Server was amazing. Made our night perfect. They are very attentive, fondue was the best thing on this planet hands down. I will say, for the price of it all, we did the dinner for 2 for $99, you pay more for the experience then the food. But still all worth it. My boyfriend also called ahead and had them put rose pedals on our table which was an amazing surprise. 10/10 recommend for your date night! We were gifted with complimentary glasses of champagne as well. Great night. read more

My review is almost completely positive. I was here on new years and I had looked at prices prior to making my reservations. I will admit that I should've known they might've had a special going on for the holiday, however it wasn't made clear when I had arrived. And before I continue, I was there with one other person. As much as I understand that it isn't entirely their fault, I wish I had been informed that their was a holiday menu with different prices when I arrived. Because that dinner ended up being over $200. When I hadn't planned on it being anywhere near that much. On a way more positive note. Our server was the most amazing guy. He was so kind, fast, and helpful. He made the whole thing worth it! And the food was delicious. Overall I am very pleased with my experience. Simply wish I had been informed about the change in price on the holiday menu. read more

Perfect spot for date night! It's a fun experience, you can do 4 courses or just order al a carte. The cheese and chocolate fondues were my favorite. Very savory and sweet and liked that they both came with an assortments of fruit, breads and sweets. I wasn't that great at cooking the meats for the main course. They cook fast and I kept over cooking them but it was still good and the broths are very flavorful. We enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back! read more

I will start by saying this, (Yes, It is a little over priced, but...) this is definitely an experience worth having. If you do plan on visiting, be sure to leave yourself time. Lots of time! I came twice, both times we were here for close to two hours during their 3 course, 22$ special. This included cheese, chocolate and a salad. The only downside I have found is if you get seated at a table with only one burner, you have to share the same cheese/chocolate with everyone in the group. Where as if you get a multiple burner table you can all pick your own. Also, my most recent visit my friend and I were sat at a table with other people that were not part of our group, which was a bit uncomfortable. Be sure to make reservations online beforehand, the place can get packed! read more

We visited last night to celebrate my son's birthday. We had Amanda as our server. From the greeter, our own server, and the additional staff who ensured that our drinks were full and our table was frequently (though not intrusively) tidied, our experience was excellent. Amanda truly went above and beyond explaining the process, making suggestions, and treating us with extraordinary kindness and connection (even with our kiddos). The food was delicious, we chose the Wisconsin cheddar and Quattro Formaggio. We had a variety of salads that were wonderful. The Pacific Rim was a popular choice at our table and we chose both the Court Bouillon and Bourguignonne as our cooking styles. Amanda frequently checked in with us and was accessible. For dessert, we chose the flaming turtle and the s'mores. Amanda added a special touch by giving the birthday boy his own plate with a happy birthday message (and singing!). The restaurant itself is lovely with low lighting and comfortable seating (we were a party of five at a round table). Even my youngest (who is not too adventurous in his food choices) enjoyed his experience and wants to choose the Melting Pot for his birthday dinner. Thank you so much! read more

The fire alarm was going off for over 10 minutes, along with the flashing lights. The staff continued on like business as usual. There were no apologies or explanations for the inconvenience that it caused. It was a real disruption to our evening. They could have at least offered a discount for the meals for those that it was an inconvenient situation for. I'm not sure if the waitress was overwhelmed with tables but she was not that great at making sure we had what we needed and bringing us our next entree. We had to go up to another waitress to get assistance. read more

My husband took me here for my birthday. I was excited to try it! We made reservations and was told the outdoor area was heated and comfortable. It was not. Our server assured us when we sat down that they just turned the heaters on and it would "feel like a sauna very soon", it did not. If we would have known the extent of the cold/wind that we experienced, we would have initially left, or sat at the bar. We ate our dinner with coats and hats. Food was good, but the dining experience was kinda miserable. Our bill was $160, for that I would have hoped for a way more comfortable experience. read more

We stopped in because we were staying in the hotel next door and just wanted a drink to go. We walked in and the place is packed with people unmasked and eating their fondue.

It just didn't feel appropriate and safe. read more
