    This is the place if you're looking for fondue and/or a quiet and romantic atmosphere. The four-course offering is both sumptuous and fun from the opening cheese to the decadent chocolate. Service is very attentive.

    The restaurant was very busy, with a lot of people taking advantage of the free 4-course for veterans on Veterans Day. Despite that, they achieved their usual level of awesomeness. They handled our special requests easily, were attentive and friendly, and got everything to the table in a timely manner.

    Food was delicious and service was amazing! Server was so kind as we hadn’t been to a Melting Pot in several years. She answered all of our questions, even repeats, going through all of the menu selections and never got annoyed.

    Limited allowance for additional dippers with chocolate, which is a new policy. Extra chocolate remained, we have 5 people in our party and was not adequate for our group.

    Booked a table for 5 at 6:45pm for a small birthday dinner. Had to wait until 7:03pm to be thrown into a party room. My table of 5 was seated in a room hosting two other tables of 10+. The noise was deafening. Service was great, food quality was marginal. I wouldn’t recommend this location of The Melting Pot.

    This has been a go-to birthday dinner location, but they are cutting back on the serving sizes and increasing the cost. We used to be satisfied with cheese and chocolate, but not tonight. They've also started charging for refill dippers. All in all a bit disappointing in a place I have enjoyed for years.

    Food was good as always. And we always underestimate how full we get on smaller portion sizes since it takes 2 hours for the experience. But, maybe our recent experience took 2 hours for different reasons. Our server was great initially and we ordered right away and things seemed to be moving along. But, twice we had other staff members come to check on us which was a warning sign to us. Then twice, I had to go hunt down people to find our server for drink refills and then the final bill. They're probably just as understaffed as everybody else is, but be aware that this isn't a quick dinner for many reasons. And it isn't cheap, especially when you do half the work! But, it is yummy! Fine to do once a year or so.
