    We had a wonderful dinner and fantastic service. Our server, Meghan, was attentive, personable and very friendly. She brought out our food in a timely manner, refilled our drinks and asked if we needed more “dippers” or sauces. When I asked for a different vegetable (I love the cauliflower with the entree) she was quick to agree and bring it to the table. She also let us roast our marshmallows over the flaming turtle chocolate fondue-so lovely. We had a great conversation with the owner at the end of our meal as well. We don’t come here often as we don’t live locally, but will be back when we are in the area.

    The food was fresh and delicious. We had the 3 course special. I’ll ask for the dressing on the side next time. We paid for the atmosphere and fondue experience. It was expensive for not having an entree-$100 with one drink, tax and tip.

    Had to give credit card info to book a table reservation for dinner with a $50./per person charge if late by more than 20 minutes. I had a decent size party and so we were coming from three different counties to gather for dinner. I think I was 10 Minutes after the reservation time and they were already calling me to threaten to charge me. After he finished his diatribe about their rules I informed him that I was parking in their parking lot. Then I get inside and I was threatened again as one or two members of the party were not yet onsite. NOT THE WAY YOU WANT TO START A MEAL.

    The noise level depends on where you are sitting. We were originally shown to a table where we didn't think we would fit comfortably with 7 people, so we asked to be moved. We were given one of the 8 person tables which is in a semi-closed room with another table for 8. That room can be a bit noisy, but it was ok. Service was great, food was great, they put my daughter's birthday up on the monitor.

    This is one of very few certified gluten free restaurants and one of the only places my child can eat safely. I noted a gluten allergy on my initial reservation. Upon arrival we informed our server of the need for food to be gluten free. When ordering we confirmed several times that our meals would be gluten free. When the cheese fondue came out, we AGAIN confirmed it’s gluten free status. Ten minutes into eating, the server came to the table and said “There was a mix up. This has gluten.” And she whisked away the fondue. We were left sitting there stunned and nervous for my child. We immediately got up and I informed the manager. He had nothing more to say other than “sorry,” but sorry was not sufficient to make up for how sick they made my child. This was so very disappointing as it should have been one of the places we could trust. If you have celiac or a gluten allergy, I recommend you avoid this restaurant.

    Made a reservation and still had to wait 15 minutes while 2 women seemed to scramble, talk amongst themselves and travel back and forth into the dining room to figure out seating when it was 80% empty on a Sunday at 1:00. Took a long time for a server to address us and even longer for non-alcoholic drinks for 3. We were half way through the cheese course when they finally arrived. Also, I had to directly ask for the lunch special menu that they offer on the weekends from 12-3. I understand their main menu is where the most money is but the server seemed surprised and a little turned off that we asked for the menu. Same as he did when I asked for a coffee at the end (the only one out of 4 who did). I’ll never understand why you’d seat a table with two small children who were unruly as soon as you could hear them at the booth right behind ours when the entire row of table and the bar area were completely empty. Don’t think it would have killed them to leave an empty booth in between. Overall, the food itself was great, as usual. Portions for the lunch special were more than enough each of us. We actually cooked up some of the leftover steak and brought it home. Would definitely return (again) but think they could do better staff and service wise.

    Fabulous service! Restaurant staffed set up the table just as I described in my reservation and it was beautiful! Even received additional complimentary items that made the occasion (anniversary) even more special! They offer a La carte items as well as 4 course meals for two! Excellent options to choose from and super fresh ingredients! All staff were friendly and efficient. I noticed all the wait staff engaging with their customers and I could tell those people enjoyed it as much as we did.

    Booked the Melting Pot as a birthday lunch at my 12 year old's request. They ushered us in at exactly noon and had us seated immediately. Our waiter was the only one who showed up to work that day, but despite working the entire floor on his own, he was super attentive. He helped us figure out the best value for our family of mom and three kids. We all left satisfied 😌

    I will focus on the lunch main course as the bread and alpine cheese and caesar salads and cookie batter chocolate dessert were all excellent. For us, the best were the shrimp and chicken potstickers. The veggie poppettes were horrible and the mushroom ravioli totally disintegrated when cooked. Its a fun place to go to and the service and ambiance were outstanding.
