    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.

    It was my birthday and what a lovely way to celebrate! The restaurant was rather chilly, and I wasn’t thrilled where we were seated. So next time I’ll ask to be seated in a different part of the restaurant. But the food was yummy. Our server Gabriel was terrific in every way. Got my free chocolate covered strawberries for my birthday - AWESOME!!! Ty Melting Pot. 😊

    We have been to here many times and always love it! But this time we were sat by the window on a 30 degree night, with no insulation or heat on. Everyone in the room kept their coats on the entire time lol. The room was also a back room that seemed unfinished and the speakers playing soft music weren’t working, they just kept going staticky. Overall the ambience just wasn’t what we were used to! Hoping it was a one off. Food was about the same as usual and so was the service otherwise!
