I remember when this place first opened up, it was great. Crowded, but worth it.
My wife and friends returned here and didn't have a good experience. Despite our 8pm reservation, we were not seated until 8:30, and didn't get drinks until 9pm. There was a large time gap between courses, I believe the servers were spread too thin. Our...

This fondue place is great for a very different dinner experience. Great variety of food that you cook at your table. Dont miss the tuna; it's delicious. Expect to pay about 45 a person; a little expensive but worth it for a special occasion. The exterior entrance is not particularly inviting and the interior is nothing special.

Not the place you'd visit every week, but so fun when you need a special place for a special occasion. Prices are high, but the fondue experience is worth it once in a while!

We visited the Melting Pot for the first of my birthday celebrations and it was truly a fun experience!

We opted for the 4 course classic dinner with includes a cheese...

We visit the Melting Pot every few months. The food is good, but it is expensive and a little overpriced in my opinion. The experience and the wuality of the food make up for it though.
Our service has always been great, and this is a fun place to go to with friends or family.
There is always deals around...

Good fondue and fun experience but service all around was horrible. We arrived for our reservation, the restaurant was 90% empty and we still waited 15 minutes for a table. then the waiter was so slow between courses that we left before the dessert we had paid for. I just couldn't sit there staring at the walls any more. The...

This is a unique dining exerperience, and yes expensive. The service was just adequate, no real special effort, nothing magical about the place.

Pretty unique experience. Not as good as shabu shabu though and much more expensive. Its worth going ONCE for the experience. Good for a special occasion. If you go for the "Big Night Out" be prepared to be there for 3 hours.
