    We had a wonderful time. Food and service, with Darius, were great. It's a bit pricey but we knew that going in. I do wish the booths were more comfortable, softer and bigger, since you are there a while. It would be nice if you were a bit higher for the angle of fondue usage and we are tall. Also would love someone to come wipe off burner area after messy cheese course, but that's probably just me. ;)

    I think they were severely understaffed. It took 15 minutes to be seated after arriving on time for our reservation. We didn’t get the $20 squishmallow that was requested as part of the reservation. Before dessert was put in front of us, the server took payment, which felt odd — most likely he was trying to leave after a long shift. The whole experience probably 2 hours 40 minutes when it should’ve been closer to 2 hours, simply because the service wasn’t available.

    I called several times, to try to make my Saturday night a very special night at the melting pot. I requested a romantic and quiet table. I made sure that was in the notes several times. What we got was the table closest to the kitchen with a door that squeaked like you wouldn’t believe loud. the temperature was incredibly hot in that location. Doesn’t matter how much pre-planning you do you just get what you get when you show up. Marc
    The Melting Pot - PortlandResponded on 14 November 2024
    Hi Marc, we are so sorry you and your special guest did not enjoy your evening with us. Our romantic tables do all lay in the same are, as there is only a handful. They are the only two seater tables in the resturant and can be booked up to weeks in advance on a saturday night. Your table was a part of this section, but I understand a bit closer to the kitchen than hoped for. The red velvet curtain is to help add to the romantic aspect of the evening by shutting it for privacy. We apprecited your review as it did give us notice of the squeaky door and we have taken care of this since then. We would really love to have you back and restore your faith in The Meling Pot. I have added to your notes a disliking to the table you were sat at so it won't happen again.
