Alex is great and really made us feel like we were her only table! Next time I'm back I'll definitely be asking for her!

We went there for the first time. The vegetables were not fresh and the cheese dip was disappointing. The meat was at least better than the vegetables but still too expensive for the quality. Desert was the only thing that was decent. Too much price for the quality of food. Not coming back.

We had a great 👍 experience celebrating my son reading 2 million words. The service was amazing, especially Sheila, who really made our night. Would reccomend and will repeat.

We went to the Melting Pot for the first time last Friday. Our waiter was so patient and kind with our party of 4. We had the 4 course experience. He explained everything as many times as we had questions. It was such a fun and interactive experience and enjoyed all the yummy fondue both savory and sweet.

My family and I visited last night to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. We had a reservation for 9 and Devon, our excellent server, was great from the start. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations for everyone in our group. Everyone was happy with their food choices! It was a wonderful experience which we definitely want to repeat; 100% recommended. 😊

My girlfriend took me here for my birthday and I had a great dining experience. Our server Devin and hostess Shauna were very kind and made our experience one of a kind. The food was very delicious, the fiesta cheese, beef teriyaki and dark chocolate raspberry dip were some of our favorites. Thank y’all again!

Last night we went to The Melting Pot for the first time. It was a great experience. Joey our waiter was fantastic. He took the time and explained everything to us and recommended popular choices. My personal favorite was the Spinich Artichoke Cheese as our first course. It was delicious and so many options for dipping. Also, I don’t know how they made a Caesar Salad taste better than others- but they did it! Dessert was excellent too. Love the toffee in the chocolate! Joey surprised me with 2 chocolate dipped strawberries on a plate that had Happy Birthday beautifully written in rainbow sugar. The entire night was special.

Dietary restrictions: Luckily we had no dietary restrictions- but our server did ask us if we had any.

Parking: We found an Ace Parking Lot on the next block directly behind restaurant.

Came down to San Diego for our 30th wedding anniversary and wanted to try the melting pot for the first time. My husband and I both got really sick after eating here and could not enjoy the rest of our vacation. Won't be back!

“A very American fondue”

#fondue
It is a very difficult menu item to eat properly in Korea. When I was in my 30s, all I ate was in Hannam-dong, but maybe that restaurant was #AltSwissChalet, which has now disappeared into history? I even vaguely remember it.

After that, the fondue I tried in America was this melting pot.
This is my third visit so far. Melting Pot is a nationwide chain where you can enjoy everything from appetizer fondue to dessert fondue.

Course structure is
#CheeseFondue: As an appetizer, 9 types of cheese sauce are melted and made right before your eyes.

#EntreFondue: Steak and seafood are cooked in shabu-shabu style in 4 different broths, and more than 10 different sauces are provided.

#Chocolate Fondue: This dessert fondue comes with about 10 types of chocolate sauce.

This is a decent upper-middle-class restaurant that offers a rich experience with almost infinite combinations.

I think a lot of people come here for special events because it is especially fun to eat. The preference among children and women is very high.

The unfortunate thing is that the quality of meats such as filet mignon, pepper steak, and teriyaki steak are not of the highest quality, so this is not a restaurant purely for eating meat. However, since it is a type of food that does not exist in Korea, it is a good place to try it when you come to the United States to expand your dining experience.

Great experience with my daughter. The server was great, not pushing for more and helped ordered just the right amount. The chocolate raspberry pot was the best!!
