    My wife and I have been to this Melting Pot location before, but it'd been a few years. The food and cocktails were pretty good. My wife's iced tea was very dark and cloudy, and she found it undrinkable. The service was a massive step down from what we've experienced at Melting Pot in the past. We felt ignored by our server much of the evening. Our server briefly stopped by our table to say they were dropping a tray of food at another table and would be right back. It was 25 minutes before they returned to take our drink order. That set the tone for our dinner - it was often 20-30 minutes between visits from our server. We ordered our food at the same time as we'd already had plenty of time with the menus. My cocktail took about 45 minutes to arrive, only coming out once the cheese fondue was served. It was 45 minutes from ordering food to having something on the table to eat, and something other than water or bad tea to drink. The salad and entree course deliveries felt more timely, which gave me hope that our server had just been bogged down temporarily and service might improve for the remainder. Unfortunately, we seemed to fall through the cracks again after the entree. We finished our food and waited, and waited. A manager stopped by and asked if we were done. We said yes, and I assumed we'd be visited by our server shortly. Another 15-20 minutes past that manager interaction, I got up to ask someone to call our server to our table as we'd still not seen them. No one was at the front desk when I checked, but I was able to flag down another employee. A few minutes later our server returned to collect the pot. We had to wait several more minutes for the rest of the entree dishes to be removed. The dessert course and check were handled mercifully quickly. We were quite ready to leave by that time.

    The cheese fondue did not taste good. The bread served for the fondue was chewy and stale. Restaurant is dark and needs to be updated. Service was pretty good but overall the value for money is not there.

    Lennox is one of the best servers I’ve ever had. He was accommodating, warm, and had a great sense of humor. He went above and beyond for us and made our dinner special. 10/10.

    Staff was friendly, but slow. Ourr server seemed to go missing quite a bit and we sat with empty drinks for a while and had to request extra sauce from 3 different people. Food was delicious!
