    I’ll start with the positive: the intro course with Alpine cheeses and bread was decent. The dessert was also okay. The negative: pretty much everything else. Service was rough. We waited a long time for almost everything. The wine I ordered at the beginning showed up after the appetizer course which is maybe 20 or 30 minutes after I ordered it. The quality of the meat for main course was kind of rough especially in relation to the cost of the meal. Another server and the host were arguing about something in the middle of the floor next to our table. It was just not good.

    Other than being seated close to 40 minutes after our reservation time, the 8 of us had a very good and fun experience. Our server was great, friendly and timely. Each couple split a salad and entree but added the filet and lobster. It was the right amount of food for us. We also prefer oil to cook in as well. The lighting in our room was a little bright which “dimmed” the ambience a bit. We enjoyed it!!

    My first Melting Pot experience, as my wife's birthday dinner request. We had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed our visit. Our server, Linda, was great, and made our experience memorable by presenting a birthday cake for my wife.

    Poor management there. Daughter got sick and couldn’t eat her main dish. The manager would not take it off the bill. Only took off $17. Ridiculous. This is our favorite restaurant so we go no matter the city we are in. This location is not as intimate as the others either. We will skip going to this one. Won’t do it again.
