    This place has gone downhill rapidly since Covid. Cheese fondue now comes with a plate of 95% bread, 1 piece of broccoli, 1 piece of cauliflower, and 2 apple bites. Servers are not well-trained at all. They speak far too informally, do not abide by correct etiquette, and know absolutely nothing about the wines on the menu. Our server clearly had never even opened a wine bottle before…cork had gotten in the wine and rather than apologizing, the server simply responded “they didn’t train me how to do that.” Prices suggest elegant/special occasion with IHOP-level service.

    Hello Brandon, my name is Daniel and I'm the general manager. I just left you a voicemail as well, but I wanted to reach out about your experience, talk about where things went wrong, and see if there's anything we can do to make up it. If there's a more convenient time for you to talk you can let me know here, or I can be reached through the restaurant.

    We had a very nice family dinner. Our server was friendly and very attentive. He brought extra sauces and left out the sauces we don't like. He also brought us extra rice krispie, blondie and brownie dippers for the chocolate. It was a very nice evening, thank you!

    We had a fantastic time at The Melting Pot on Saturday. We ordered the four course experience and started with the 50th anniversary Cru Cheese - it was delicious. We both had the California salad, and the Classic Fondue. We finished with the Dark & Dulce chocolate. Our server was AMAZING! I'm sorry I don't remember her name, but she was FANTASTIC. So nice, and accommodating. This was just a very nice night out, no special occasion, but she made it one. Thank you!

    It was a wonderful evening shared with friends. This is definitely a place to be with friends. From the first drink of Sangria to the Classic Fondue (which reminded me of my time in Switzerland) to the chocolate fondue, everything was delicious. Jose, our waiter couldn’t have been nicer. We will return next time for a special occasion.

    Melting Pot is a favorite of our family and we have been to many in many different locations. The food was fresh and the quality that we have come to expect from our dining experience here. The server was friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing and we felt we could take our time and not rush. We will be returning over and over again because of the consistency of the food, service, and ambience. Another perfect dining experience!
