    This was a great experience! This is the perfect place for a date night as we were in a very private area and couldn’t hear other guests. Food was delicious and our server was able to answer all our questions and and give great recommendations.

    we made a reservation and still had to wait about 40mins. the appetizer felt like a school lunch, we had to ask for water, and it took forever to get our utensils as well. overall, this place is overhyped and definitely overpriced for what it is. we ended our dinner early, because it took so long to get started that we were gonna miss our movie. the server was nice though!
    The Melting Pot - CastletonResponded on April 30, 2023
    We're so sorry to hear about your disappointing experience, and we'd like the chance to make it right. Would you please send the name of your reservation and your contact information (phone/email) to our VP of Regional Operations - Daniel - at daniel(at)cheesecartel.org so he can be in touch? Thank you. Best, Rob, Mike and Tom

    Disappointed. Finally returned to Melting Pot when new ownership took over. First trip back was amazing. A few months later, right back to where it was previously. Servers stretched too thin. Waited for bar drinks for over 30 minutes. Didn’t get requested dipping sauces until we were almost finished. Waited another 30 minutes for chocolate fondue after dinner was cleared from the table. Waters were empty. Our server was sweet and seemed to be trying but no support from other staff. Reserved our table using Open Table. Requested a quiet booth and let them know it was my husband’s birthday. We were sat across from a large group room in a high traffic rates and the waitress had no idea we were celebrating a birthday. This was a slow Tuesday. So disappointing. For the money, I would go elsewhere if you want good service that matches the price you pay.

    KathyH, We're so sorry to hear the service level during your visit wasn't up to your - or our - expectations. Our sincere apologies. We have passed your contact information onto our VP of Regional Operations - Daniel - at daniel(at)cheesecartel.org, and he will be in touch soon. Again, our apologies and we look forward to speaking with you. Best, Rob, Mike and Tom - owners
