- TTaylorPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoIt was a great date night out! I had only been to the one in Colorado before, and this one was great as well! Service was incredibly friendly! They made us a whole dip that we later found out had gluten, and they made us a whole new dip free of charge and insisted they take care of it. Great tasting food, great atmosphere, and a great experience.More infoThe Melting Pot - KnoxvillePrice: Expensive• Fondue• Knoxville•4.3

- SScottEast Tennessee •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 28, 2024We found ourselves needing thanksgiving dinner and although I hated to do it, I did at least choose a hotel restaurant since they kinda have to be opened…there was a wait even with a reservation, but they were very transparent about it and they checked in with us regularly so we knew we were not forgotten. The food was so good, all 3 of us left very full and very impressed with our meals. The staff was very professional and pleasant, something you just don’t see much of anymore, especially since they were stuck working Thanksgiving dinner! We appreciate the meal, the staff, and the hotel. Thank you.More infoMarble City Kitchen and The FireflyPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Knoxville•4.6
