Rude Staff, Unforgettable Bad Experience
I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. They refused to serve us because of our attire, even though there was hardly anyone there and we were dressed acceptably. The staff was very rude, leaving us to wonder if their rudeness was due to our clothing, our ethnicity, or both. I will never forget this experience and will never return.

A Seattle Gem Worth the Trip
This is one of my favourite places. If you live in Vancouver, BC, it's definitely worth the trip to Seattle to experience it.

Great Fondue, Poor Service Experience
I absolutely love the classic alpine fondue and meat, as well as the dark chocolate chambord fondue. My rating, however, reflects my recent experiences with how little the restaurant did to accommodate us during reservations or walk-ins. On one occasion, we faced indefinite waiting times. Another time, despite the restaurant appearing quite empty earlier in the evening, we weren't even offered the option to sit at the bar. I do love fondue, and I might try the Bellevue location sometime.

Worth the Price for Fun Experience
My experience at the restaurant was great! The service was amazing and the staff were so polite. I enjoyed the fun experience of cooking my own food. Although it's pricey, it's still worth it!

Amazing Service Made Our Celebration Dinner 10/10!
We’ve been to the Melting Pot before and it was pretty good. What made this experience AMAZING and 5-Star worthy was the service. Our server, Kaleigh, was absolutely great - attentive, quick, conversational but gave space, and very sweet. I barely mentioned that I had a slight gluten intolerance in the beginning and was just planning on eating the vegetables and fruit in the cheese fondue. However, Kaleigh came with gluten free bread for the cheese fondue WITHOUT me requesting it! I was amazed by the way she picked up on this small detail and it really just made our night so worth coming out for. Thank you, Kaleigh, for great service tonight and making our celebration dinner 10/10 😊

Wonderful Food and Service, Long Meal
My experience at this restaurant was marked by always wonderful food and service. However, be prepared to engage in a lengthy eating marathon, as the dining experience is always about 2 hours.

Amazing Food and Service!
My sister and I had dinner here last night and it was absolutely amazing food and service. The service was specifically excellent from Keeligh and Meagan. The food and drinks were amazing, and it was the best service I've had in years. Thank you, Heather Dodd and Melissa Anne Kramer.

Overpriced and Average Food
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I found it to be way overpriced, as we spent $350 for four people and I still left hungry. The food was average and nothing special. I will not be back.

Fondue Fun with a Special Touch
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially if you love cheese! I highly recommend getting the double order of cheese because the regular portion might leave you wanting more. The semi-private booths provided a great atmosphere for our group. For a special occasion, I suggest the 3 course meal for 2 if it's available. Making reservations and mentioning a special occasion led to a wonderful surprise with rose petal service and more. And of course, the fondue was absolutely loved!

Wonderful 4-course meal for special occasion
I visited this restaurant for a special occasion and it truly did not disappoint. The 4-course meals were wonderful. While the prices are high, this is expected for a restaurant of this caliber.
