This was my first time going here. I was alone due to the last min change of plans. I went on a Thursday, and it was on the 19th when they were running a great special! It was a huge blizzard outside, so the place wasn't busy at all. Otherwise I suggest making reservations.
Being new to this all I asked my server for his input. I saw the Wisconsin cheddar was beer based. Im not a beer drinker, and I know lagars can be strong. He said he could do less beer or no beer. I was also interested in the Quatto Formaggio. He described that, and I went with that one. After the cheese sat for a little bit of time, the parmesan got really strong. I was not a fan of that. Next time, I would ask for them to use less parm cheese. He brought out the bread, a few stubs of carrots, and a few pieces of celery. Then he brought out my apples. I was disappointed with the lack of veggies I got. Cheese is the heaviest course, and less bread would be better. The server told me it's not a sprint it's a marathon. Take your time. When I was finished, he brought my salad. The Cesar salad was delicious!
I chose to add a mini entree. And wow, was that awesome. I got so many veggies! I got 3 different kinds of meat, 3 different kinds of veggies, and so many choices of dipping sauce. I think 6 different kinds. When he asked if I wanted panko, I said yes, and then another sauce came out. It was all so delicious! Then on to dessert. This was my hardest choice. You couldn't go wrong with any of the chocolates. Now I don't do white chocolate so much, and I wanted more than a plain one. So it was so hard choosing between turtle, rocky road, or smores. I did turtle, and it did not disappoint! It was just a small amount of chocolate, and I was surprised about that. I almost didn't have enough to finish because there wasn't much there. It was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back. I was so excited I forgot pics of the cheese spread. It was a bit cramped on my table, but I was fine. I do think they need bigger tables for 1 or 2 people.
Kid-friendliness: Yeah, this place is. Unfortunately, I could hear the 2 kids screaming n g about something and then crying.
Wheelchair accessibility: I don't feel it is that wheelchair friendly.

Went to this bad boy for a date with the most beautiful girl in the world and had a 10/10 experience with exceptional service from Saif!
Here are some highlights from my experience with Mel:
Mel had such a warm, cozy and welcoming presence that instantly made me feel right at home. The decorations, lighting and ambiance too.
Mel tested your limits and had a very rewarding ending. The portion size, variety and multi-course experience did too .
Mel reminded me that life is sweet even though sometimes its nuts sometimes. The turtle chocolate fondue did too along with the candied pecans 🤤🤤
This is such an amazing experience that I recommend everyone try at least once.

Spent my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend here and it was an excellent experience! Our server, Alex, gave us amazing service and really made our night. It was truly the best service that I’ve had in years. I wish I could have given her a bigger tip!

Great food and great service! We will be back.
My wonderful boyfriend brought me here for my birthday and we had a BLAST! The service was excellent and Lucas did a great job making our meal as enjoyable as it was delicious! He also answered all the questions we had about the food (as well as how the duck was prepared). We got to meet and speak with the owner as well who was super friendly as well as accommodating. We were so stuffed at the end of the meal that we didn’t get a chance to try the chocolate fondue! Will definitely be coming back!

Everything was beautiful. The food was awesome. It was so delicious. The owner Mike was amazing. He was so friendly and I love the way he helped and supported the staff. Now as for our waiter Riva, she was top-tier. Everything about the experience was good but Riva is what sealed the deal. She was helpful, happy, smiling, patient and everything you could want in a waiter. We will definitely be returning.

Our server, Danny, was excellent.
Only reason I didn't give the food a 5 is because I think the timer for food was to long and some meat over cooked

Excellent food, excellent service! It was a great dinner, highly recommended! We've been there before, but tonight was probably the best meal we've had there. We tried different food, and they were delicious.
We noted the reason for our reservation was the celebration of our 17th anniversary in open table but was not acknowledged during our visit. Our waiter was MIA most of our meal and hard to find for meal needs. Lighting got brighter as our meal endured.
My mother and I dined at The Melting Pot for a little girls dinner and boy were we impressed!! The food was obviously delicious but what we truly weren’t expecting was the superb customer service. Every single member of the staff was beyond kind and accommodating. The manager was super generous, we chatted with the bartender, laughed with our sweet bus boy, and our server, Kara C., definitely made our girls night out one to remember! The entire experience was a 10/10!!

The atmosphere was very nice and clean. Our waitress, Riva(?), was extremely nice and provided excellent service. The cheese did not taste good. I would definitely recommend getting dessert.
