    The experience is definitely cool, but in my honest opinion it’s not worth the money. The service was amazing my server was super attentive and caring as well as my request were met. It’s the concept that throws me off and I felt like it lacked that feeling of fulfillment. Lacked flavor; overall I appreciate the great service but I wouldn’t go back to spend the kind of money for okay and lacking flavor food. This is all my opinion, don’t knock it till you try it you might have a different experience than me!

    Food was good. More about the experience than quality of food. Cook food yourself so a learning curve on overcooking or undercooking proteins. We got the grill option and while it was tasty it was very loud and smoky the drinks were good and service was good.

    The entire location was smoky I couldn’t breathe. First time trying it and they should have a side of rice or something I literally just ate meat. Never going again

    We thought the food was great, and the way it was presented was fun. We had the classic four-courses, starting with the cheese (Quattro) and it was delicious. Then Parmesan bacon salad. Also good. We had a variety of meats (streak, chicken, tuna, salmon, shrimp) with the citrus broth and that was tasty. It also comes with broccoli and mushrooms. Then the dessert, we had original which was peanut butter chocolate with all kinds of things to dip. It was a huge amount of food. Our server was super attentive, explained everything to us, and was delightful. She made the experience special. The downside to this restaurant is that the facility--the space--is dated and dirty. And the experience feels contrived. It's a chain, and you know that from the second you enter. It is expensive. For the same price, we could have gone to a $$$$ steakhouse in a prettier environment. That said, for the amount of work put into the Melting Pot experience, I thought it was reasonable. Plus, we were there for two hours, and no one rushed us. In fact, we were encouraged to take as along as we wanted. So, I'd say it is worth it if you want to experience this specific thing. And I hope they'll work on ambience, make some upgrades, and fancy it up a bit so that the facility matches the price point and the service: she was exceptional.

    A great experience at the Melting Pot. The service was great, the food was excellent and you can’t beat the fun of cooking your food at the table. Fun for the family.

    The food was great, and the waiter was almost perfect. The waiter did forget a few things but all in all nothing really to talk about. I visit tis restaurant a couple of times over the years and never did I have negative impact. Its clean and the staff is very friendly. The table was ready at the appointed time. I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
