    We visit The Melting Pot with our friends every December as a Christmas tradition. This evening our food was outstanding (as always) and the service was excellent. I also received chocolate covered strawberries when we departed.

    Thank you, Darla, for keeping us as part of your Christmas tradition! We'll look forward to seeing you back again next year, hopefully not just in December!

    We loved the Santa lunch for kids -- great way to introduce our 6 and 8 years to one of our favorite special occasion restaurants! They LOVED it.

    Not worth the price. Restaurant was clean but very worn down and out of date. Didn’t set the mood for our celebration. We ate and left quickly.

    My wife and I haven’t had fondue for many years but on this Veterans Day, we decided to go back in time. We didn’t regret it—the four course meal was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was luxurious. Well done Melting Pot!

    Great birthday dinner. Service was excellent and the food was perfect nice variety. I recommend adding the charcuterie board. Nice drink selection as well.
    The Melting Pot - Arlington VAResponded on November 8, 2024
    Thank you so much for your review and your business! We're also big fans of the charcuterie board. Next time you should try the double dippers, which add a fun textural element to the cheese fondues.

    Called out. Seafood allergy to start the night, ordered a Caesar salad, started eating it and it had anchovies. I checked the menu again and it was not listed as an ingredient, the manager didn’t really seem to care and was dismissive even tho it could have been bad. Server was awesome!
