Our experience is perfect for a romantic night out or a special occasion that deserves a unique experience. Our location provides a casually elegant, intimate atmosphere. The relaxing four-course experience begins with a cheese fondue prepared table side. A fresh salad follows while your entrée pot heats up. You’ll simmer a variety of tantalizing meats, seafood and vegetables. Each morsel is hot, fresh and delicious and all entrées are accompanied by an array of dipping sauces to add to the flavorful fun. Chocolate fondue is the finale.

    The food was good but disappointed about the birthday experience- we traveled 4 hours to go, I made a special birthday reservation and confirmed and we were not asked about the birthday. Which was noted on the website. Overall was still good but felt that was a bummer.

    Not sure what happened to this restaurant. Service was so slow and the restaurant not busy at all. The quality isn’t what it used to be. Our bill was over $600.00 for 6 people!! My son had a piece of plastic in his chocolate fondue. Not worth complaining about as I’m sure nothing would be done.

    From the hostess that seated us asking if it was our first time there- to which I replied yes and she said “welcome back”….to the waitress who even after we offered to pay more for separate meals and she failed to explain how any of the menu worked- we got the wrong food! Took almost 20 minutes to come check on us for more water and food. Very disappointed in the experience and service !

    Decided to come to Appleton to celebrate our 7 year anniversary together and the Melting Pot did not disappoint! Had a fantastic experience from the flower petals on the table and the bouquet of flowers, the bottle of brute to start dinner, and everything in between dessert nothing could have made our night any more special. Thank you we will definitely be back!🥂

    The cheese is like water and little flavor. Doesn’t even stick to the food. Have to get more food than usual because cheese not getting used up because doesn’t stick. Never used to be this bad. Where did the chips go? Always get rid of the best foods. Chocolate has always been watered down. This was our favorite restaurant for last 10 years but after yesterday we do not want to go back.

    This was our first time at MP. We went on a double date. It was a bit overwhelming at first but our server was great. This is definitely a must do for everyone. We cannot wait to go back and bring the kiddos. It would be nice for a little bigger tables since the burners take up most of the table. Cooking the entree was one of the best and worst parts. The experience was so fun, but the grease splatter was not friendly lol.

    We use to go to Melting Pot regularly. I’ve always felt it was overpriced, but it was fun. It also gave us plenty of time to chat. Now it’s rushed, service has been subpar the last few times we’ve been. We were in an out in just a little over an hour. Salads came before we were done with the cheese. I had to put a plate on my lap at one point. I understand that service is lacking everywhere these days but at these prices it really shouldn’t. We may be back, but it’s not the fun, “let’s catch up” over dinner place that it use to be.

    The food lacked flavor which was disappointing for how much the meal is. The server was the only good part of the experience. The restaurant has had recent upgrades but was overall dirty, even my silverware had food caked onto it. The bathrooms were disgusting, it made it unappetizing to even go back and eat after using them. The kitchen placement is halfway through the restaurant and the music was blasting so loud you could hear it walking by, it totally ruined the vibe. Overall super disappointing experience. We were here in 2019 and it was a way better experience back then, I’m not sure what happened to make it go so downhill. The host was also wearing a sweatshirt which was odd for a place where you pay roughly $50/person for a meal. She also convinced us to donate to St Jude’s by saying we could get a gift card for $20 off our meal to use today (this was in December). Turns out you can’t use it until 2023. It was rude to be bombarded by asking for a donation before we even got our seats, and then to misrepresent it by saying you get a gift card same day is annoying. Had we had been sold on it with the truth, we probably still would’ve donated but it was annoying to be lied to just for her to meet her goal. I thought maybe I misheard, but my husband confirmed she said the same thing and our waiter said she had been making that mistake all night. I was excited to come to a nice dinner here for my birthday and left super disappointed and wishing we would’ve gone almost anywhere else in Appleton. Like I said, our server was the only positive part of the experience. Would overall not recommend.

    Couldn’t do the iron skillet because of remodeling. Didn’t make sense. They were out of tuna. This should have been communicated when we were seated.
