Neither boyfriend nor I had never done fondue so there was a huge learning curve for us. Visited for their Prix Fixe Valentine’s Day menu and had no idea what to expact. Thankfully, our server (whose name escapes me) was very patient and thorough with us! I recommend hanging onto a menu while you dine to help guide you with the process; there are explanations of the sauces as well as a cheatsheet for cooking times on there. Not sure how the special menu differs from their regular menu but the amount of food we had was crazy! Even though it didn't look like a lot of food while on the table, we were absolutely stuffed when we left. I really enjoyed the first course which included bread and a couple of raw vegetables (I think it was baby carrots and broccoli) that we dipped in the "Loaded Baked Potato Cheddar" sauce. The sauce was very thick and rich but delicious. I probably shouldn't have eaten so much bread but it was too good to pass up! Next course was the salad ... I had the Strawberry Caprese and boyfriend has the California. The fresh mozzarella was good on mine but the rest was just OK, it possibly needed more dressing? The California was definitely better and had sugared pecans and a creamy balsamic dressing. Boyfriend and I both opted for the Cupid's Feast entree which had Roasted Garlic Shrimp, Teriyaki Marinated Sirloin, Wild Mushroom Ravioli and Honey Orange Chicken. (I don't eat chicken or beef so I gave boyfriend my meat and we shared the rest.) We chose the Citrus Mojo hot sauce because it was supposed to impart the most flavor? To be honest, we couldn't really taste much of anything on the cooked food, citrus or otherwise, other than on the cooked broccoli? The dipping sauces definitely helped in this regard. I liked the Green Goddess and the Gorgonzola Port sauces the best. I think the other sauces were Ginger Plum, Teriyaki, Yogurt Curry and Sweet and Sour? I really liked the shrimp but couldn't taste any garlic on them after cooking? The ravioli were delicious though! Last up was the dessert feast ... definitely needed to save room for this course! We chose the Tiramisu Milk Chocolate, chocolate with small chunks of Ladyfingers swimming about. The assortment of fruit and sweets were all delicious, very hard to pick a favorite here? The Melting Pot was definitely an enjoyable experience even though we felt like we weren't sure we were "doing it correctly?" It was fun feeling like we were conducting a weird science experiment while we ate! It was definitely a special treat though and I did like the fixed menu for our first time there; I feel like ordering off of the regular menu might have been a little overwhelming having never done fondue before? Might try it again someday but the memories of a first Valentine's Day with an incredibly special guy made it extra memorable for me. :)

Our server was amazing. I am celiac and they help me with wonderful options. They made things gluten free and had the best brownie gluten free dippers for the chocolate fondue along with gluten free bread. It made my Mother's Day very special. We let the manager know how wonderful our time was.

My boyfriend booked us a 5-course romance package for our anniversary and it did not disappoint! Everything from the first bites, to the fondue and dipper options, fun drinks, and entrees were delicious. Our server was just the perfect amount of attentive, friendliness, and personable. The table was covered in fresh rose petals with cute heart-shaped tea lights. Our cozy corner booth in the lovers alley was just the right amount of private without feeling totally cut-off from the rest of the restaurant. Also, their Green Goddess dip is delicious and goes well with everything, I am now addicted to it. Our server was kind enough to bring me extra to enjoy with our entree.

We went to the Melting Pot on Valentine’s Day and did not have a good experience. Christian reached out as soon as he heard to apologize and offered to bring us back on the house to show us a good experience. And they did just that! We went last night. They had our table ready with flowers and rose petals. Bre was our waitress and she was amazing! She was very attentive and made sure we were enjoying our evening. She was very knowledgeable about the menu which was helpful also. They definitely redeemed themselves last night. They went above and beyond. We really enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be back!
