    It isn't clear if The Melting Pot has a new strategy or not, but this location has lost its' ambiance and appearance of fine dining. While it was never fine dining in my book it always was seemed to have a lure of a place to take a date for a romantic experience. The first thing that hit my senses was the rancid burning smell. This was likely the result of the cast iron cooking style and someone burning their food as it waned over time. It was still unsettling. There seems to be a new policy whereby all lights are turned up on high at this location. This is an ambiance killer and creates the atmosphere of a Denny's rather than a romantic fine dining establishment. Further, from our table, and given the bright lights, we could see mediocre cleaning, filthy and loose venting, and everything at every other table. To be fair, we did complain which got the attention if the waitress, assistant manager, and general manager who all apologized and offered to move us to a new table. While this was a nice gesture and "may" have addressed us it would not have changed the ambiance as it was destroyed the moment we walked into the restaurant. Our waitress was very good. The food was decent, but way overpriced and lacks in value. I guess this is fine for a unique special occasion, but no longer a place i would even visit a couple of times a year. To further iterate my point on the ambiance: there appears to be an add-on whereby rose petals can be spread on a table in advance of arrival. About halfway through our meal a hostess spread petals on the table in the geometric center of the room. I watched this and told my wife I would be livid if I expected a private and romantic dinner. This was next to a table of two couples drinking and talking loudly (nothing against this). My point is, given that the restaurant was 1/3 empty why didn't they take the opportunity to spread the rose petals on an out if the way table with fewer people "watching" the date"?

    The server acted like she was putting nutmeg in our alpine cheese but there wasn’t any nutmeg in her grinder. The meat selection is covered in rubs and seasonings - I want the old selections of plain meat so I use the sauces myself, I could not eat the pork - the rub was so salty. Also the dust on the wood work between the tables was so think I could see a handprint! Clean the restaurant!!!

    Went with family friends to celebrate 2 birthdays. Table was nicely situated away from cold drafts (28 degrees out) out of busy walkways. Server Jay was excellent—kept checking to make sure we had plenty of food and beverage without overdoing it. Explained options clearly and made great suggestions. Hadn’t been there since the pandemic, had forgotten how fun it was. Will go again.

    Decided to grab a few friends and give this a shot for the first time in years. Forgot how fun it is. Three bottles of reasonably priced wine for three couples. Server was outstanding and really guided us thru the process without trying to upsell. Can’t wait to come again

    We go every year for Valentine’s and my SO’s birthday. No curry sauce because of the golden event; basically lost 2 sauces! (Curry and curryaki). New drinks menu, old fashioned was bad. Lights were brighter, noise level was high. Not a fan of the skillet and tempura options. We didn’t get them, but a nearby table did and the smell was not appetizing. Love the double dippers, but miss the cream puffs!
