We had a Saturday night reservation made 6 weeks earlier for Valentine's Day. Front staff was very welcoming. Unfortunately, our waiter gave horrible and inattentive service. Our drinks weren't even refilled. The other tables had waiters who came more than 10x before our waiter came. The meal and ambiance was wonderful but the service was horrible. For $160 for two, you would think you would...
We had an amazing time from the moment we sat at the bar to walking back out the door. Our server Ameila was fantastic! It was an incredible to reconnect and rekindle our relationship with terrific atmosphere, great food and top of the line service.
Very nice. Took my daughter and granddaughter for Cupids Day. I didn't know how kid friendly they would be but my granddaughter who is 8 had a fabulous time!!
The melting Pot is one of my absolute favorite places to eat. The food is so good and I love th atmosphere, so what I have to say next is really disappointing to me as well. This is the second time this has happened to me however... I ordered a bottle of wine and my waiter brought out two glasses and the bottle. He set the glasses down and poured the wine. He left the table and I picked up my...
We had a wonderful time with excellent food and service. The restaurant provided an extra surprise for our birthday celebration; very unexpected, and a nice personal touch.
My girlfriend and I have been going to this melting pot for four years now for our anniversary. We have seemed to get a Waiter named Phil every time - I have to say the service//food//price//choices everything down to the last bite. Then you want more! I would say its great for a first or 2nd date just because of the choices you make, It allows you to get a conversation going. so if you want to...
The food was great. The server was great. The value was extremely overpriced!
Cool experience again ! Haven't been in several years ,more food than we remembered didn't leave hungry as we thought we would .Would recommend and go back for special occasion.
The Owner and Manager that were working Sunday when we came I were an amazing team. Friendly and excellent service and good!! We will keep coming in!! Thank you!
Very romantic
Had a great time for a birthday celebration, Dave the owner came to our table to make sure everything was great, our server was knowledgeable and friendly. Pricey but always a good time and great food
We had a great dinner. Food was outstanding along with the service. Our server was Shane and it was his third shift as a new server and he did great.
It was grest
It was very nice. Service was slow and could have been better. Our waiter did not know if the bar made strawberry daiquiris.
Great fun for a birthday. Long dinner, plan to be there 2 hrs. Kind of pricey, but its an experience.
I have dined at the Richmond location of the Melting Pot for years. While I am not totally turned off, I find that I like it a little less each time I go. On this particular experience I noticed several things that were big turn-offs for me.
As usual, the experience was very fun and delicious. My neighbors and I go here for our son's birthdays each year. This was their 16th birthdays.
It had very good food specially the deserts! great staff!
It was wonderful, It was my dads first time and he really enjoyed it!
The food was excellent as was our server!
For New Years Eve, at $75 per person, I expect perfection. This meal was intended to come with a champagne greeting upon entering the restaurant as well as a 5-course dinner, a photograph afterwards and a $25 gift certificate for a future visit. The staff upon entering was so confused it was laughable, thank goodness the waiter picked up the pieces for them and turned the experience around by...
wonderful overall experience as always...brought our 2 grandkids for their first time at Melting Pot...They had the absolute time of their lives....Everything was Perfect ...!!!...
The service was top notch and the food was absolutely fantastic! It didn't seem like a lot at first but I was so full when I left! The chocolate fondue was the best part! I will definitely be back!
We went to the Melting Pot for the first time to celebrate a family birthday and had a Great and very unique experience ! Extremely creative and delicious food, with a very helpful and friendly wait staff ! Highly recommended !
I always love coming to the Melting Pot for special occasions and dates. Had such a great time celebrating a college acceptance and an anniversary the other night. The ambiance, food, and service are all amazing.
We go here often but have been missing our waiter who graduated & left back in June. We went on Sat night for a date & fell in love with our new waiter. This is the 3rd time there since June & having been able to find a replacement of him till now. Wonderful food & staff is very friendly. Ask for Amelia....she is the bomb!!
Food was good prices were a little high for the amount of food you get but it was an experience that was enjoyable
Thanks for being so kind with our five-year-old daughter
Our server Amelia was fantastic and made great suggestions. My husband and I did the 4-course option for his birthday which really was the best value. The Nacho cheese was the bar of the show for us both & the Yin & Yang chocolate desert was out of this world delicious. My only critique would be that there was little table space for so many plates and the room was almost a little too dark -...
Excellent food, excellent service and our server, Holly, was absolutely amazing!
Love this place. Tina waited on us, she was great! She knew everything and was very efficient. If you want great, friendly service ask for her!!
Dined here with my husband and brother, it was a bit late so the restaurant was fairly empty and I can't critique the noise level. The food is delicious and it's so much fun to cook at the table! Our waiter (whose name I can't remember, sadly) was absolutely wonderful and one of the best servers I've had in years. Definitely recommend!
Awesome service and even better food! Everything was served quickly with great insctruction and the food was honestly out of this world!
Food is always good at the Melting Pot.
Great servers make the experience that much better. Great for special occasions or any time in cold weather.
Excellent. One entree enough for two people unless both are REALLY hungry.
this was our 4th time at the Melting Pot and all 4 times has been a great night out, this was our anniversary so it was special, all the staff were complying and the food was fantastic as always, we have recommended this place to our friends and they all have said the same.
We went to the melting pot for our first wedding anniversary. It was amazing. They do all the little things to make your experience special. Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Highly recommend
Our server Aaron was wonderful, very attentive to our needs. He helped us pick out the perfect cheese based on our preferences and we were very pleased with the result. He also did a great job of going over the menu, as we hadn't dined there in a while.
Always a joy to experience this kind of atmosphere and food thats fit for a King.
The manager was very attentive. We were celebrating our 17th Wedding Anniversary. The servers all signed a card. Angie, our server, was excellent with explaining the process. She was very attentive to our needs. She was fantastic !
Wonderful
All employees were great! The Manager especially. He gave us a tour of those restaurant after we expressed interest in how cozy the atmosphere was. You could tell he loved his job and took pride in his work. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff!
Alex was a great server, and we appreciated the visit from Leo and he did a great job explaining how our groupon vouchers work.
Their are two managers there when we go and both are exceptional, they greet you when you come in and come to the table and talk with you. They keep records in the computer of what you like and what you don't and they call you by your first names. The staff are excellent and very friendly. They check on you three or four times to see if everything is alright and make sure you have enough of...
Eli was very good at guiding us through the menu options. He was very personable and humorous. It was a joy to have him as our waiter.
Our server, Crystal, was very knowledgable and truly went above and beyond with our service. She was incredibly friendly and helpful in making our selections and even made us a chocolate fondue that is no longer on the menu!!
The manager stopped by our table a couple of times and was very engaging. He told us about the little pickled peppers in the Enhance Your Dippers plate which we probably would have avoided but ended up really enjoying. Alex, our server, was super attentive and personable. He was very knowledgeable about the wines and paced the courses perfectly. Alex even brought us little samples of dark &...
Our server was excellent and his name is Phil
Maybe add more fruit to the chocolate fondue
We've been here countless times for date nights or a night out with friends. Always fun. Food options are wonderful, and if you don't like something on...
This is one of my favorite restaurants. My husband and I enjoy it so much that this is where he proposed 7 years ago. When you order the 4 course menu you...
I'll start off by saying that for me, the staff are a HUGE part of a dining experience for me. I've been to the Richmond location several times now for...
The service was excellent! Shannon was engaging and paced the dining experience just right. The manager, Dave checked in as appropriately to see that everything was to our liking.We had the...
My family and I went here for dinner. They do a fondue type cooking. You pick out your meats and seafood then you cook them in a fondue pot. You can dip them in a batter or other seasoning to give it favorite. Also you do vegetables. Deserts too. Very pricey and takes alot of time. Very enjoyable. We had...
We went there for my birthday and had a really nice experience. Our waiter, Rohit, was very thorough and truly listened to us. When we told him that we had been there before, he asked whether or not we needed him to explain the menu instead of just delving in and going through his routine. We didn't do the typical...
It's a fun experience but be prepared to spend your romantic evening with a stranger -- your server is at your table constantly. Some of it is necessary for food prep but they could greatly improve to make the time more efficient. As one of many examples, our server spent 5 minutes at our table while we were TRYING to...
Went here for a romantic anniversary dinner. The waiter wasn't very friendly, talking soo fast we couldn't hear a word he said and his appearance was not formal at all. They sat us next to 2 screaming kids, which screamed and cried the whole entire time. Then next to us the people were complaining and talking about how bad the...
My fiancé and I visited for his birthday and while the management staff was overwhelmingly friendly the service staff was just so-so. The welcome birthday card was nice
but we were stuck in a corner booth that made it hard to eat and talk. The food was predictable and blah. Each time we come we like it less and less......
My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner on Saturday night. I had been here years ago with girlfriends but hubby had never been. We had a nice table in a quiet alcove off the main aisle which was very nice. I think it would have been very noisy to have a table on that main walkway/aisle.
Our...
Visiting family for the holidays and decided to try the Melting Pot. Seems like a fun thing, but for $350 for 6 Adults and 2 Kids I can think of many other things to do. Limited to two fondue pots for eight people so you are locked into two choices on every course. Your meat course is basically bolied in...
My wife and I were looking forward to a night out and were in the mood for something other than the standard dinning venues around town. As we searched dining options on the web, we came across the Melting Pot. A few clicks later we had our reservation and were looking forward to this great culinary idea.
The restaurant was...
I've been to many resturaunts- but this one is at the top of the list. It's wasn't just a meal- it was an experience! The staff was extremely friendly. Our waiter DAN was the best. He made us feel so comfortable and explained everything wonderfully. We ordered the four course meal. Each meal transitioned nicely and there wasn't alot of...
I have been to the Melting Pot on many occasions and LOVE every time I go. The food is great, fresh and great seasonings. One of my friends was hesitant about going a few weeks ago, but after we went, she couldn't stop talking about how her experience was fantastic. I highly recommend this Resturant to all.
We tried this because everyone is always saying how much they love it and that we "absolutely have to try it." I suppose this is one of those places that you either just love or it is a place that you will try out once or twice and decide that it just isn't for you.
Likes: I loved that it...
A terrific choice for anniversary celebrations. The booths are somewhat secluded which is very romantic. Special dinners are reasonable for the amount o food you get. Food is very, very good. The wine list is extensive and we've never been steered wrong with a wine pairing. Staff is extremely friendly.
Try the Fondue!!!!!!
Go for the cheese and desserts. The restaurant has a nice ambiance. The private booths make this ideal for a romantic evening out. The service can be spotty, sometimes its excellent but sometimes it can take a while to get service.
The good news about Melting Pot is that it's a real fondue place. That bad news is that it's ONLY a fondue place. If you're dining as we were with people that have significant food allergies, Melting Pot lacks the flexibility to deal with this problem. Your first course is going to be a cheese fondue. There's no other choice....
Great service, good food. Went to The Melting Pot for the first time last night. Our waitress, Rachel, was very knowledgeable, personable and fun. We decided to go with the 4-course option. The Cheddar fondue was good, but the lager taste was kind of overpowering. I would try a different cheese next time. The house salad was great, as was the caesar..toasted parmesan pine nuts were AMAZE. I got...
We enjoy Melting Pot for special occasions (i.e. romantic). They've started a cheese fondue and dessert deal if you sit at the bar - very reasonably priced! Neat atmosphere but not a romantic environment (which is ok with us). We have started going several times a year and sitting at the bar.
This is probably my favorite chain restaurant. The whole "fondue thing" is fun and something a little different. The food is good and they often have special events like wine tasting and dessert.
We did our company Christmas Party here, and it was great. We all enjoyed it and talked about it the next day in the office. It was a party of 9, and the waitress was very attentive although she had other tables to wait on you would never know it. The specialty drinks were the best, I had a strawberry...
I called and made advance reservations for my daughter's 18th birthday for a party of four.
When we arrived we were led to a very small and cramped booth in which we could hardly move and were very uncomfortable for the 2 hours we were there. We are not large people by the way - although my husband and my...
Mon-Fri is endless cheese & chocolate for just $20 a person -- awesome deal!
We got a gift certificate for a certain meal. We were expecting something totally different. We were pleasantly surprised at what we experienced. I didn't know there were so many different ways to do fondue. It is amazing how it works and the service is top notch! There were several people in the place and our waiter was waiting on...
We went here for my 50th birthday. We kept putting off going to this restaurant because we didnt think we would like it. The food was good. You cook it yourself. The waiters or waitress will tell you how long to cook your vegetables & meat. That would be maybe 5 min for vegs. & 2 1/2 min for meat....
We have been going to the melting pot in Richmond for the last 12 years. This is a great experience. Very nice restaurant and atmosphere. Our dinning experience has always been a 10 out of 10. I highly recommend this place. Food excellent always. Service is spot on. We have always had a wonderful time eating and will continue to...
This particular melting pot is my favorite. But with that said, I really feel it is worth the price for the cheese and chocolate fondue! The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable.
definitely a special event place if you go all the way with the multi course meal. the cheese fondue was very good, the broth selection to cook the meat was also very good. the chocolate with the peanut butter was the best part because you could dip it onto cake and cheese cake. the good was very good and the...
This place is wonderful! The staff is always attentive & friendly! You can mix and match your flavors and every course is mouthwatering. I am never one to eat dessert, but who can pass up melted chocolate with stuff to dip in it! It is a bit pricey, but well worth every penny!
Great fusion of flavors, and an active dining experience. However...quite pricey. Party of 10...was $500+. It's customary to add gratuity for parties>8. However, the tip was over $70!
The food was great, and way toooooo much of it.
Could have been satisfied with cheese fondue, a salad, and dessert. Or...saved $200 by getting 2 less platters. It was an overwhelming...
The food is not amazing, but the experience is just really fun. We go with our kids and they have a ball cooking their own stuff.
Good decor and good food. Tried the Vietnamese beef entree, try
it you'll like it. Other entrees include chicken and fresh
veggies. They also have a decent bar. jb
This is a great place for takeout. In my opinion, this is far, far superior
to the other Vietnamese places in the area.
Great place to have a birthday!!!
Over priced for what you get. Maybe I don't get the concept. I actually want a meal brought to the table ready to eat.
While this restaurant is not cheap, it's worth the price to have a unique experience once in a while. They have a three course meal option, but personally, I prefer to just do cheese and then skip right to dessert. You will be a little stinky when you leave, as the food smells tend to get into your clothes and hair, but overall, a great option for a nice leisurely meal.
Took my sister here for her 28th birthday, she loved it! We both had a really great time. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, clean restaurant, outstanding food =] Would definitely be going back!
This was our first time at The Melting Pot and we had a fantastic time, unbelievable service, great food and atmosphere. We will definitely go back and consider The Melting Pot for future celebrations.
You just cannot go wrong with cheese and chocolate! The entrees and salads are wonderful as well. My wife and I recently did the bottomless cheese and chocolate at the bar and it was great! The staff…
I was one of the persons who was hesitant to eat "fondue". But now I regret missing some many years. Everything is great at the Melting Pot, and I have yet to have a bad experience w/ both food and service.
We recommend Lisa......she was very down to earth....and had great energy!!
Fondue Feast. My boyfriend and I ate here for dinner one night last month. They were doing a special with some of the proceeds going towards Susan G. Komen for the Cure. With that we decided to do their version of the France Big Night out and a bottle of wine. The cheese fondue a la France was great. The salad is just a salad. Cant really go wrong there. Then the Fondue Fusion had a lot of meat...
Corporate romance?. The GOOD: I can't believe I'm saying this about a large corporate chain -- but the mood lighting, intimate seating, and general sense of excitement actually add up to a reasonably romantic experience for a date. The food is good, albeit not spectacular. They have a "seasonal" menu. Waiters help with a great deal of advice. Dessert (dipping cake/brownies/fruit into chocolate...
They don't call it "Fondue" because it sounds pretty!. To ppg13 - It is called fondue. Ever heard of that? Also, why would you be cooking you food in hot water? You missed the boat entirely!!! This is a great restaurant and great service. The Meltng Pot is exactly what you would want for a fondue restaurant. Romantic atmosphere, great food and extensive wine list. We look forward to going back!!
Very good place for couples. Dim lighting, good food and wine. at the corner of Gayton and Gaskins rd, at the back side of the shopping center.
I love the fondue experience, but even that love cannot overcome the high price for what you get at this restaurant. The last time I attended (for my birthday) my mother found a shard of glass in her wine glass. When we alerted the server, he explained that someone dropped a rack of glasses, as if that made it ok....
I've been to this Melting Pot location three times. We were living in Orlando for a while and had several visits to two different locations (including the flagship location which I believe is now closed). All the visits were based on requests by our kids for some special occasion. All locations were consistent in food quality and service.
For the price we paid I would expected the food to taste much better than it did. The salad was good and the cheese fondue appetizer was delicious. The entrees were mediocre at best. This chain is a great place to impress someone on a date or take...
Four stars may be a little high for this one but 3 stars is too low. Maybe call it 3.5?OK here are the pros:Food is quite good. The cheese and the chocolate courses are excellent in fact. The…
We went here for a birthday dinner, and overall were disappointed. When we arrived they had a birthday card for me signed by the entire staff, which i thought was a nice touch.I had been wanting to…
Beautiful experience
We almost always get one of the specials, and almost always end it up with one chocolate turtle fondue - but with DARK chocolate. They have a good wine list here as well.
It is a nice dinner because you get to talk to each other while you pause to cook each food item. Because of those nice pauses, you...
We love this place! We always go there every year for our anniversary. Its amazing and such a great experience. I would go more often if we had the money!
We try to go to the MP once a year... Either for a birthday or for our anniversary...The food is AMAZING, and the staff is wonderful!\r
\r
If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, this is def worth the money!
This restaurant is awesome! Yummy cheese fondue and delicious chocolate fondue! I don't really care for dessert but it can't be missed at The Melting Pot. This restaurant is perfect for a romantic evening out.
Good, but it's a chain and it's expensive.
In ShortBooths equipped with tabletop fondue pots are clustered together inside the intimate dining room. Start with a cheese fondue, including an assortment of breads, veggies and fruits for dipping. Entrees include lobster, center-cut filet, fish, chicken and vegetarian selections served with a variety of dipping sauces. For dessert, try the flaming turtle, a mix of chocolate and caramel...
Girls' night every third Wednesday of the month with generous portions and a great price make this an affordable special occasion place. Delightful. Don't eat all day, just save up your appetite!
When you go out to eat, do you want to cook your own food?
Where do you go when you want to have a good time eating food and enjoying your company? The Melting Pot is the place. I would consider it more of a dining adventure. I was a little intimidated when we got there. I knew it was a fondue restaurant but was not sure exactly what that would entail. Be prepared,...
Had a birthday party there last year and found the food to be completely overpriced and overrated. The meal tasted bland, uninspired, and each course tasted the same. Frankly I felt this was a complete waste of calories. I am still wondering how this place stays in business, but given its stratospheric prices it is easy to see.
I went for the first time with a group at work. we had a great time. Our service was wonderful and the food was amazing. Although this restruant for me is for special occassions only due to pricing. I definietly cant wait to go back. i really am surprised ot hear how poorly a family with children was treated there. You should have heard our group have fun. we know we were a bit loud with our laughing and having fun but no one complained. I always recommend to wait a day and put your thoughts in writing to management. maybe they would would have like to have the family back for another...
this place is consistent. great date place.
also fun on birthdays.
restaurant has a very nice wine list.
We have been to MeltingPot restaurants in cities other than Richmond and they have been fine. The one in Richmond suffered from what seemed to be high staff turnover and poor training. The food is good, and the wine list superb, though there is no one there when we visited who seemed to know anything about the wines on the list. Service was slow, and staff only wanted to help ""their tables"". We had to wait a long time between courses which was unusual because the cooking is done at the table. The average age of the staff (""manager"" included) seemed to be about 23. We expected...
Romantic Memories!
Get Dark Chocolate with Chambord
One of the most unique and exciting restuarants in the Richmond area. The menu consists of various types of fondue, including appetizers (such as cheese fondue), a main course (usually a broth fondue with meats, seafood, and vegetables),…
I hate to be one of those people that judge by one experience, but we had
a bad server. We came in on the $25 "ladies night", and our
server proceeded to ignore us most of the time, then awkwardly attempt
to upgrade us at every point, so we didn't enjoy it as much.
Still had fun, since it was the 'ladies' and 'fondue'!
The Melting Pot is a great place to go for any sort of special occasion. It's a bit pricey, but it is definately worth it. The menu is comprised of different choices of fondue which you cook at your own table. For an appetizer, try the…
for my very first time eating here i enjoyed every bite i ate.
Great food, fun atmosphere. The pomegranite cosmos are wonderful! Ask to sit in Nicole's section - she gives amazing service!!
valentines every year so far
Over-priced but delicious.
This restaurant is a fun and unique dining experience. My friends and I love this place so much, it has become a tradition to go for my birthday every year now. We've always had great waitresses. We have gone to 3 different Melting Pots - FL, MD, and VA, and all of them have been great. Part of the fun is if something does fall off the fork. The only problem we have, but we ignore since it...
Very good food and service. Laid back atmosphere for comfortable eating.
This was not our first visit . Our previous visits were delightful - HOWEVER!!! We took our daughter for her 14th Birthday and thought it would be a great experience for her. The $14.95 balloon and picture frame was to be at our table for her - per our reservation. However - nothing was there. We have four girls between the ages of 9 and 14. They are all very well behaved. In fact, we frequent Copper Grill and Morton's with them in tow - and have never had anything but compliments on their behavior. We were seated in a small room with another family (their children were younger than ours) -...
Nice atmosphere---good food, and great fun with familes cooking together in the pots...You will enjoy this restaurant...Be prepared to pay a good price for your food...If you are looking for something less expensive---go for drinks and appetizers...You'll enjoy that also... Great for anniversaries---birthdays...special occasions..
Pros
+ Great Food---ya keep busy cooking your own food...
Cons
- Sometimes there is a wait..
I took my wife there for her B'day and it was a night to rememmber. I had requested a table off the main traffic aisle and we were delighted with the last boothe in a quite corner. The four course dinner was the best. Plenty of food, fine flavors and very attentive service combined for a memorable experience. Be prepared to drop some bucks but it is well worth it.
Pros
+ Unique and pleasant experience
Cons
- Takes time to enjoy
Excellent restaurant, one of the best places to take a date.
Great food, great service, great everything! Once you have tried it, you will see what i mean. I have been there several times and will continue to do so.
Ok, The Melting Pot is a chain that is in many cities. If you've been to one, you've been to them all. There's no culinary skill involved except the skill you muster by submerging your own raw meat into a pot of hot oil or the broth of your choice. On the bright side, The Melting Pot does have a...
Me again. Been here a couple times since 2003. Save it for special occasions.
Four of us just recently went for my wife's b-day. Got their package
for $44 a person which included everything but drinks. It was wonderful
as usual. Plus the service was great. Decor changed a bit but I think
it's better. Though I miss some of the booths for privacy. Still
a keeper to go to over and over again,...
I love fondue and have had many experiences with it, and this is by far one of the best. The selection is superb, they have something for almost every budget, you just have to be selective. The atmosphere is very cozy. It is a great place for a romantic dinner. I would say that it is really too expensive for a regular date. With wine, this place can easily cost more than $150. They have the...
The staff are very friendly. Our waitress took her time in explaining to my husband and I how the fondue process works. The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable. The prices were higher than we expected but well worth it. Definitely come with your appetite and allow plenty of time to eat! Also, make sure you get desert!
I was actually a bit surprised to find this place, and find that the fondue
(which has been beaten up in the lay press) was quite good. Not a quiet
place in Davos, obviously, but with a good regional flavor, and good
variety.
Ok for someone who had no clue about fondue I did not know what to expect. I mean I had embarassed myself at Great Steak when the waitress served me raw meat. ( I didn't know I was suppose to cook it on the grill myself). Well I have recently proposed to the woman of my dreams. To celebrate we...
First time visiting here, fun to cook your own food at the table. It is easy and tasted well. Also enjoyed the varieties of cooking liquids we could choose from.
The atmosphere at the Melting Pot is very intimate. Most of the tables are very private. The restaurant is candlelit. It is not a place for noisy kids, although I have seen a few kids there. The prices are high but it is perfect for a special occassion splurge. Reservations are needed,even on some weeknights. Plan to take your time and enjoy the fondue here. It takes awhile to finish all three...
Try this uniquely themed restaurant. See what your first date is made of!
Classy, romantic, good place to cozy up for intimate conversation. We had the swiss cheese fondue, followed by the Land and Sea cooked in the Mojo broth. All was very tasty. I'd offer a better selection of veggies to dip in the cheese, though. Dessert was over the top. We had the Flaming Turtles (caramel and chocolate with pecan) Fondue.
Comes with a yummy selection of prime fruit and cake. Our waitress wasn't the most attentive, in comparison with other waitstaff we witnessed.
Pros
+ Ambiance, Unique night out,...

The Melting Pot is a must experience dining treat! They offer a unique and fun eating experience in an elegant and realtively private setting. The food is excellent, take it from a skeptic! They have a wide selection of foods to dip and the flavors are exquisite!
I could make an entire meal off of cheese fondue with bread and apples followed by one of their great house salads and ending with a chocolate fondue dessert, thus skipping the main course entirely. Go hungry, take your time, and be sure to make a reservation. Great date or special occassion spot.
I live in Richmond and frequent the Melting Pot as often as I can. It is an excellent date restaurant as most of the tables are very secluded. The Salads, Cheese Fondue and Desserts are so good, I'm tempted to go sometimes and skip the entree part of the meal. Dinner will normally run you 65-70 for two. It's the...
who loves fondue??? i love fondue! it is so fun and different.
The staff is very attentive and the food is fun to eat and delicious.
IT was the best experence I have ever had!Way to go guys!!!
This restaurant is located in Station Square which is a "gathering place" on the river, across from downtown Pittsburgh. It's a nice area with lots of shops and restaurants. I like fondue , so I thought The Melting Pot would be a fun experience. The menu is very confusing. Dinner for two costs $55-$70 and includes cheese fondue,salads and two...
Something diffrent! I rather enjoyed the experience, but being
a meat and potatoes kinda guy, its something I might do every
now and then :). Fun though. A+++
Excellent upscale novelty joint, perfect for a 1st date. Fun
but classy fondue restaurant, private tables, great service-
worth the price!
Very good food and service. Laid back atmosphere for comfortable
eating. I give it an A plus
This is a wonderful place. My wife and I go here for almost every
special occasion. Plan on two hours plus. And you most likely
will not get in without a reservation. But it is worth the trip.
Fondue at its best!! From the appetizers dipped in the melted
cheeses, to the main course of you choice, finished by desert.
Tasty treats to dip in melted chocolate. Definitely a place you
will go...
God I love this place. Best place in town for romantic evening,
period. But my teenagers like it too. You have to try the chocolate
yin/yang fondue, it's half milk chocolate and half white
chocolate. How do they do that? It's all good.
Great Staff, friendly service, romantic setting. The Food is excellent and great value for your money. Overall an A+ experience. Highly recommend dessert and appetizer.
Pros
+ Friendly service, Intimate setting, Good food
Whoever dislikes this place will not like any restaurant. Someone complained ""cheeze cheeze cheeze"" and ""too much fat."" Let me set the facts straight. The first course is one including cheese and breads. The next course you have a variety of items, including all types of meats and vegetables. If you think they have nothing but fatty foods, than you obviously don't eat chicken, beef, seafood, or vegetables. Lastly, you can order an incredible dessert fondue! It's 100% worth every penny!
Pros
+ service, food, quality
Cons
- make a reservation
This is one of my favorite places to have a quiet dinner. The cheese fondue was fabulous as well as the seafood fondue! They also have a great wine list. Desert.....absolutely divine!
Pros
+ friendly staff, good atmosphere
Cons
- not inexpensive
What better way to spend a romantic evening with your significant other than to look longingly into one another's eyes as you play with your food?!?
Wonderfully romantic place with great service and food. Not someplace you'd go every night but excellent for special occasions.
The service could be much better, the atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired, but once seated with a special someone or a group of friends, IT'S A BLAST!!! They get you what you need, the rest you can do at the table!
Pros
+ Fondue is fun, Pricing reasonable, Parking
The Melting Pot is a wonderful restaurant! I have been there several times and every time it has been a great experience. The servers are very knowledgable and helpful with the courses. The atmosphere is incrediblely intimate and personal. I can't wait to go back!
I've eaten at the Melting for about two years now and love it every time. It's unfortunate to read that someone had an unjoyable time. Who ever wrote that I hope you know that the Melting Pot is on a reservation basis so if you had to wait forty minutes for a table you must not of had a reservation and if your wife's B-day was so important you should've made one. The servers do a lot more work than an average restaurant and take pride in giving customers an enjoyable evening, and that's why we keep going back. You should give it another chance, but this time make a reservation.
