Melting Pot

Ethan took such good care of us while out for our daughter's birthday. Our drinks stayed filled, the pace between courses was just right and he made sure to keep in mind my gluten free needs with each course. We had a great night! Thank you, Ethan!!

I think they purposely abandon guests for 20-30 minutes at a time. Make sure to plan 4 hours for dinner. When we were almost at 3 hours, I asked for the check, a doggy bag, and if she could bring dessert before we left. We ate dessert standing up, and walked out at the 3 hour mark. Food was good, but the gap between courses was absolutely a hostage situation. This was an hour drive each direction, and it was over 6 hours when we got home - only dinner, and we were on time for our 5:45 seating. Food was great and we had fun, but we had to turn off the burner because we were sitting there staring at the dry boiler for 20-30 minutes. Had the same experience in San Antonio decades ago. Just beware that this "experience" dinner destination will take 4+ hours from first seating until the bill comes. And they did not appear to be hustling for anything. I still left a very generous 25% tip ($30). Oh, and telling them you must remain Gluten-Free (& they have GF noted on every eligible item) isn't sufficient. We had 2 courses of the 4 where the waitress had to remove the food back to the kitchen to be remade because it was gluten-laden, even after making it clear on the phone, upon entering, when being seated, after a nice discussion explaining that consuming gluten would result in 6 weeks of diarrhea and a loss of 15# to an already too-thin body, and then 2 of the 4 courses were potentially deadly. Not good.
