    El lugar agradeceria una remodelada, ademas es muy incomodo atravezar un pasillo, salir del restarant, bajar escaleras o tomar un elevador para tener que ir al baño.

    Everything was great Except it took too long 2 get drinks. Also, the threat on OpenTable that 2 guests only get an hour and half is ridiculous and insulting. No way guests could complete this meal in that time. We were there 2 and a half hours and spent $250 before tip. The service is slow and meant 2 b.

    Our experience at Melting Pot was negatively affected by a very loud and obnoxious female guest setting near our table. We brought this issue up with the management. The manager allowed us to move to a different table further away from the problem individual. Unfortunately our dining experience was still affected by this loud individual. With regard to the service we received at Melting Pot it was outstanding. The food was excellent. The manager did comp our meal for us. This was a very generous and much appreciated gesture. We will certainly dine at Melting Pot at some point in the future. I again want to acknowledge the professionalism and all efforts by all employees at Melting Pot.

    So if you have never had The Melting Pot I would recommend giving it a shot. That said it is not a cheap Date. Once you have had The Melting Pot honestly it kinda is the same thing every time.
