    I recently went for Valentine’s Day 2025 with my fiancée. I booked out dinner online in advance and opted for the special Valentine’s Day menu. We arrived sharply at 7:30 for our reservation, but were told the restaurant was running behind. After half an hour of waiting, we asked again and they said 7 people were still in front of us. At this point we began contemplating leaving. Luckily we ran into old friend as the bar and had a nice conversation to pass the time. I think if we didn’t see our friend, we would have left. Finally we get seating at 8:30, an HOUR past our scheduled reservation. The food itself was good but the service could be improved. Our server didn’t know much about the menu, nor did she offer us recommendations on how to cook the food, which other servers were taking about. Overall, the ridiculous wait for a reserved table paired with sub-par table service made the visit a disappointment, especially since fondue is typically a lengthy dinner. I don’t think I would return.

    Went for Valentines day and had a great time! They were running a bit behind so we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table even with reservations (which was totally fine). When we got seated we immediately had our waiter come to us to explain the pre set menu and take our drink orders. Every part of the meal was delicious (the milk chocolate candy bar fondue was to die for) and our waiter was very attentive. The only "negative" I would say is that it took forever to get our drinks. Not a huge deal, we saw they only had one guy working the bar for the whole place (and it was packed!). Everything overall was fantastic though and we will totally be back!

    Celebrated Galentine’s Day & it was our first time at The Melting Pot for most of us. Our server was fantastic! He gave us the full run down on how things work & was patient with all our questions. He was also amazing when I told him about my tree nut allergy, checking with the kitchen to make sure there were no nuts on my plate. The food was delicious & we really enjoyed the experience.

    It took 2-1/2 hrs. Very slow service. Restaurant is dated and drafty. Food underwhelming. Will not return. Quite overpriced for poor quality.

    The wait between courses was awful. It took over 45 minutes after ordering our dessert course to actually get it. No one came to check on the table between that time and the entree broth was left boiling… and it evaporated and started burning. The server blamed it on being busy but I think we were one of 6-7 tables in the entire restaurant.

    Our server was very kind, she had only been there 2 weeks, but was very competent. My family loves the interactive experience of the whole meal,
