Bring your big appetite to the big city. In downtown Minneapolis, The Melting Pot is your quintessential fine-dining restaurant. Start with freshly made salads and handcrafted dressings before you skewer succulent strips of steak, and finish the smorgasbord with our famous chocolate fondue. Desserts rank high here, and just like the complex taste of our entrées, there’s something to be said of our artisan cheeses and luscious chocolates. But in our cozy corner of dessert paradise, we’re more than just a classy addition to Minnesota’s culinary scene. We are casual and approachable, which makes us an excellent choice for reconnecting with long-lost friends, updating loved ones about your life, or simply breaking the ice on a romantic date.

Excellent staff, great food, had a wonderful time. A little pricey but it was a good experience. We had to leave early and they were kind enough to give us vouchers for the desert we were not able to stay for. We will be back!

The service was very attentive, so much so that we could not complete a conversation without another interruption. Comparing to other similar priced restaurant venues, staff typically have a way of serving the table without having to interrupt the conversation. It’s one of the ways that a restaurant represents class in service. One example, At Melting Pot we where asked every times if we wanted our water glass filled. It’s water, just fill it quietly and leave. Similar with removing plates with the silverware place appropriately to signal that we were done. The quirky manager didn’t identify himself when he approached the table to ask how our food was he just started talking to us so we thought he was a random person saying hello. You get the point. For the cost of the experience, it could have been easily elevated in class.
