The environment and atmosphere of this location were absolutely beautiful. I met a friend for dinner, I got the vegan fondue and the gluten free breads&veggies to dip. We both loved everything, especially the mocktails! Shout out to Shauna who made our visit that much more enjoyable, we will definitely be back!

Meh overall experience last night with our group of 8. First time for most of us here and I had made a reservation via Open Table. Really cool historic building (former bank) spread across 2 floors. Food itself was all great, especially the dessert (and I am generally not a fan of sweets). Service was ok, but the waiter kept just repeating his standard pitch as quick as possible. Menu options are way too complex and not explained well — highly recommend reviewing in advance. We had 3 kids with us and it was well over an hour before they had any real food. 1 person had some dietary restrictions (gluten and garlic free), but that meant I got the same (I hate gluten free bread). There was also confusion by the waiter about how many burners were on each table (long story). The 2 other groups next to us were both celebrating birthdays, so they seem to cater to special occasions, rather than family dining. I would probably not take kids back and still only go with adults if you are prepared for a 3 hour tour. Just very different than what I expected, but like I said, the food and the cooking it yourself experience was really neat.

Fantastic staff, so friendly and helpful, even the trainee was on top of his game. The food was great, we recommend the date night special with candles and rose petals on Thursdays. The vegetarian, gluten free, & dairy free options were wonderful. The best Melting Pot we have ever been too! Awesome place to have a special night. We will be back!
