Melting Pot

I had been to their Bellevue location, and it was amazing, so I made a reservation at 4:15pm in the lounge at their Tacoma location to eat prior to the Sept 3rd P!NK Concert. I was disappointed and let down by my experience. Below, I have a few of the cliff notes to why. • The concert started at 7 pm, and we arrived at 4:15 pm, so more than enough time to enjoy a couple of drinks, eat prior, and be able to get their dessert. Unfortunately, that did NOT happen for us. • By 4:25pm, we have ordered their Apline Cheese with Gluten Free, and charcuterie board with Gluten-free dippers, the Espresso Martini, and Mule. (Mind you, it didn't seem very busy, and two gentlemen were working the bar) • Our waitress let us know by 5:30pm that we had been forgotten about. We never got our drinks or food. (Just water). • By the time we finally got our first drink and cheese with charcuterie board all together, it was approaching 6pm. We had to eat it all SO fast and not really enjoy it. My stomach got upset. Because we only got 30 minutes to eat and chat. Not so fun. • Based on how slow everything was, we decided not to risk it and order the chocolate or another drink, which both things we planned to do since it was happy hour AND we got there at 4:15pm. So we didn't get the drinks and dinner experience we were hoping for before the concert. That did not happen for us this evening.

They took care of my dairy free and gluten free needs, but I feel bad for the people who paid. It was a ton of money and even my companions who ate normally agreed with me the quality is sub par for the cost.
