About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Charming
Bring your big appetite to the big city. In downtown Minneapolis, The Melting Pot is your quintessential fine-dining restaurant. Start with freshly made salads and handcrafted dressings before you skewer succulent strips of steak, and finish the smorgasbord with our famous chocolate fondue. Desserts rank high here, and just like the complex taste of our entrées, there’s something to be said of our artisan cheeses and luscious chocolates. But in our cozy corner of dessert paradise, we’re more than just a classy addition to Minnesota’s culinary scene. We are casual and approachable, which makes us an excellent choice for reconnecting with long-lost friends, updating loved ones about your life, or simply breaking the ice on a romantic date.

    Food was fresh and delicious. We tried many different combinations - all were equally good. Even though we stayed over 2 hours there, we felt a bit rushed, maybe just due to the fast talking waiter...his review of the menu was difficult to follow, but once the food started coming, all was good. Don't forget that if you get full, you can cook the rest of the food and bring it home with you!

    Great birthday dinner for my husband and teen. Next time we will try the grill top. My only issue with dinner is when you are a small party you don’t get more than one fondue choice and we don’t have the same taste so we’d come with more people to make it worth it

    Great eating experience. Take your time with it. A perfect date. Time to talk and spend quality time together. Expect to spend at least two hours but it really should be three. Do all four courses and have a few drinks too.

    It had been 30+ years since our last visit to a fondue restaurant. The Melting Pot was very good. Food was delicious. Waiter was knowledgeable. Drinks were WAY too expensive though.

    As usual the Melting Pot was a great dining experience. We were a party of three but ordered the dinner for two with an extra salad, based on our knowledge of the amount of food we would get. All the courses were splendid, cheese, salads, meats, and dessert and we somehow managed to finish it all!

    The waiter was amazing! Dessert was great. The salad and main dish was not great. We all felt like we smelled like broth when we left.

    Back of house did a terrific job preparing food for our meal, but service staff made us feel very rushed throughout all 4 courses. Used to love coming here, but feeling rushed during the meal made the experience unpleasant. Hopefully the server just wanted more tables and management isn't trying to turnover tables faster for more profit.
