    Was a great time. We had never been. Waiter (Oli) was a badass!! It's definitely something to do at least once. The food is good, and it's a fun little experience.
    The Melting Pot - PortlandResponded on March 17, 2025
    Ollie is the best! So glad you got to have an experience with him!

    Love that there was no rush to turn over the table, but there was a serious lack of servers. This meant that no one checked back to see if we needed anything (we would have liked more veggies) and we were done with each course for a long time before we got the next one. Our whole meal took over three hours.
    The Melting Pot - PortlandResponded on March 3, 2025
    We apologize that you found us on an evening where their may have been a staffing issue. We owe you extra veggies for next time! Thank you for dining with us and taking the time to let us know how we can do better in the future.
