Outstanding Night Out. My wife has been wanting to come to The Melting Pot for a while and I finally agreed and we gave it a try last weekend. We made a reservation and I am glad we did as the place was packed, I requested a quieter table for a special night out and was pleased to find our request was accommodated. The experience was long, 4 courses, melted cheese, a side salad and an entree that you cook yourself, it all takes some time but the staff was very helpful and informative guiding us through the process. I was also very excited about their wine menu, some great selections on there. Very attentive service overall and we had a great time. I didn’t think we would be doing dessert but it is part of the 4 course dinner and I am glad that we did, my wife was in heaven, a big pot of melted chocolate and fruit and pastries to dip into it, great way to finish a wonderful meal! We will be back!
Horrible Managers/Don’t bring your baby. VERY RUDE MANAGERS, WILL NEVER GO BACK, DISGUISTED with the place. Took my wife to celebrate her birthday and we brought a baby and was good all night up until the cheese foundue and then had a crying fit. First manager walked by and gave the look. Then walked up and told my wife with an attitude that something needed to be done and to get up and take the baby for a walk (Don’t tell mothers how to calm their babies) we continued with our meal. 2nd Manger walked up and asked how everthing was. Said how the first manager was rude to us. He defended The 1st manager and said we were being loud and people are out on romantic evenings here (we are paying customers too) I mentioned the other table had a bunch of kids and they were being loud to, but I guess that was ok. (not to mention 11 year old had the staff come out and sing happy birthday and that wasn’t even offered to my wife even though we told them it was her birthday) Not to mention 2nd manager even got my wife so offended when he kept defending the first manager he made my wife cry. He made it out that we shouldn’t be able to be at a restaurant like this with a baby and we should’ve celebrated elsewhere. This is a place I loved and always went to for birthdays and anniversaries. I will never go back. I don’t tell mothers how to mother their kids and restaurant managers shouldn’t either. People go out to eat and celebrate birthdays all the time. You can’t control what babies do and you shouldn’t be treated poorly if they don’t act the way you want them to.
Overpriced and underwhelming. The food was more like bland, soggy meat and cheese in little bite size cubes. We won’t go here again.
Great service!. We had a late Valentine’s day dinner and our server was Danny. … He came from Arizona 2 weeks ago and he is a fantastic addition to your wait staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable! Had mike last time also a great server!
Ehhhh…… We had never been to Melting Pot and decided to go for Mothers Day. This place had amazing reviews and we heard it was one of the best restaurants in the Castleton area. We had reservations, but they didn’t seat us until 15 minutes after. Our waitress then didn’t come to our table for 20 minutes, which was very irritating and never came by our table to ask for refills or anythig else. So overall, the service was horrible. The food was just okay. We ordered the spinach artichoke cheese fondue and milk chocolate fondue and it was average. I just wish they would give more bread and chips for the cheese fondue. We probably will not be back…..
A Total Disappointment. The service here is atrocious. The food is average and completely overpriced.
Wonderful…. I believe in writing a review for a place after multiple visits. One good or bad experience doesn’t define a business. PERIOD. I go to the Melting Pot at least 3 or 4 times a year. This is the IDEAL place for dates. Expect to shell out more than $100 for a meal for 2, so make sure it’s not some random person you’re blowing money on. Their valentines week meals are superb. They close fairly early, so it always is uncomfortable when I’m booking a meal for 6 or 7 pm and being one of the last couple still sitting. Meals for me usually take 2 hours or so. Staff is always extremely polite, minus one issue with a hostess a year ago or so. Lighting and sound level are extremely appropriate. I agree that this is in no way a place to take children, although I’ve never seen children there. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine eating their kind of food as a kid. Expect well-knowledged staff. You’re always going to get the best servers if you book later dinners, as the best servers are those that close the restaurants. (General rule) Servers are trained to not be noticed. They get in, give you what you need to eat, and check up on you when needed. I’ve been very grateful that they don’t hover. The food that’s presented is always perfect. I’ve never had an issue with any course being served…whether it’s cheese or chocolate. Management doesn’t visit my table every time I’m in, but that doesn’t matter to me. Management table touches are overrated. They’re only important if you have a waitstaff that can’t handle their jobs.Kudos to the waitstaff/kitchen/management/ownership. You’ve done well over the years, recieved multiple awards for your wine lists, and kept me as a customer. Please don’t ever change.
