The Melting Pot

Food was amazing as always, but server was a bit slow - there was a table beside ours with a larger party that ate the entirety of their meal much faster than us. For me, the server is a large part of the experience since they are the most knowledgeable and helpful!

Service was decent, not what i imagined for a nicer spot. First time I've been there in decades. I remember going to the one back home in Chicago and it was a very classy place. I saw patrons in flip flops and tshirts at this one. I felt extremely overdressed in a suit and had I known, would not have chosen this plane for our first wedding anniversary.

Food was good, the dessert was the best with the cheese course a close second. A good amount of food as well.

If i ever go there again, it'll be for cheese and dessert. $150 for 2 was more than the experience received.

The melting pot is one of my favorite places to dine. This location has a great staff and great customer service. It's a comfort and quiet place to dine. You will enjoy your food and dessert. I recommend getting the flaming turtle chocolate fondue, it's amazing! Definitely worth a visit, check them out.

The Melting Pot is a chain fondue restaurant, that specializes in multi-course meals (cheese fondue, salad, main course fondue, chocolate fondue). It is not cheap, but it is a fun dining experience. You will want reservations. We dined last night for Mother's Day with our two children, and it was a lovely experience. Pros: The food was delicious, and anytime we ran low on a dipping item (bread, green goddess dip, etc), staff were delighted to bring us more. For Mother's Day, they had beautiful little corsages for the moms, which was such a nice touch. Our waitress was truly fantastic. One of our children has a dairy allergy, and the waitress was on top of checking ingredients for everything to make sure our child was safe. They actually have vegan cheese for fondue, but we did not want to subject our whole table to vegan cheese, so we did not try it. They also had vegan semi-sweet chocolate that could be used in the dessert, and we did have that. No one at the table could tell it was vegan, and the kitchen was kind enough to make a separate dairy-free plate of dippers for my child. We really appreciated this, given how busy they were Mother's Day. The only things that keep this Melting Pot from 5 stars were the hostesses, who seemed indifferent (or maybe just overly busy??) to guests entering and the bathrooms that were not as clean as I would have expected or hoped--could be they were just overwhelmed by Mother's Day. We certainly enjoyed our visit and will definitely return...especially now that we know they have vegan cheese available and the possibility of reserving a two-burner table.

First time at the Raleigh location. Previously introduced to the fondue experience in another state. I enjoyed it as usual. We had the four course experience, I was stuffed halfway through the 3rd course, and I was pretty hungry beforehand. The waitress was great, fast talker, but she was sweet.
