    Service was extremely slow. We are usually fast eaters and our lunch took an entire 3 hours. The staff barely came to check on us.

    Do not book for Valentine’s Day!!!! Typically this restaurant is good, but not on a busy day! They overbooked and under delivered as we had an 8:45 reservation and did not get sat until 9:10. We were one of the lucky ones. The restaurant closes at 10 p.m ,and there were people lined up waiting for a table when we were leaving around 11:15. I heard most complaining about having reservations as well. Hard to enjoy your meal when your sat in line sight of all these disgruntled couples, waiting for there long overdue reservation. They need to fix this, and definitely lost my business after this valentines experience.

    Christian (our server) was awesome! Unfortunately, I think they must’ve been too busy to handle (which was not his fault). We spent a lot of time waiting for our food and drinks. Usually when we come to Melting Pot, we’re right around 2 hours from start to finish - and it took a little over three. Overall though, it was great!

    This was such a fun experience with my family. We went for my daughter’s eighth birthday and my kids had the best time. A little chaotic with young children just because it’s so exciting they have a hard time waiting to eat the meat.

    This was a great experience. The food was delicious. Went with a group of work friends and they enjoyed it as well. Presentation of the platters were very delightful. All the courses were delicious!!Our waitress Lexi, was super awesome! She explained how everything worked and with a smile. She was so nice that some of us left her an extra tip. She enjoyed her job and you could tell. We all will be back very soon.

    We had a great experience! Really liked the table set up and the server was wonderful! Of course, the fondue was amazing! I prefer the cheese, salad and chocolate… the fiesta cheese was a hit!
