    Waste of money, no meal was served here, just small appetizers. We literally were served 2 small bites of chicken, steak, and 2 pieces of shrimp . Spent 280$ with tip and drinks. We will never go back . Go to McDonald’s for real

    Really the only negative experience was the host who greeted us. He was not very welcoming or friendly. Otherwise everything was wonderful and Kenard/Kinard (not sure how to spell his name) was a fantastic server!!

    Very disappointed in my Valentine’s Day experience. Spent almost 400 dollars for two people. The quality just was not there. The shrimp cocktail appetizer was tiny. The steak was a poor cut and chewy regardless of how it was cooked. The special “truffle cheddar” fondue lacked any truffle flavor. They forgot to ask when we would like the sparkling wine we preordered. At that price point I expect a near perfect meal as I could genuinely go to a Michelin star restaurant for the same cost.

    The food was good but the service left something to be desired. I have never had a negative experience at this restaurant in the past so hopefully this was an outlier.

    We did the Thursdate special, and we absolutely loved it! The food was amazing, and our waitress Z was spectacular! Our experience as a whole was wonderful! We decided to celebrate Valentines Day with this special date night out, and we were not disappointed! We will definitely be back!

    This was not the experience we are used to when we dine at the melting pot. Maybe there is new management? For our desert the waiter just set it out unmixed and giving us nothing to stir with.
