We really enjoyed everything we ordered. We did start w the whipped ricotta which was a nice opener along with the plentiful fresh grilled bread pieces served along side it. We then shared the tuna a la plancha, the hanger steak and we each had one of the mussels which was really amazing. We finished with a shared half chicken tagine which was served with a large helping of couscous( which was not our favorite but none of us are huge couscous fans) and an order of roasted carrots. We were too full to order dessert. The service was wonderful. Attentive without being intrusive and a good pace to the courses. We would definitely all go back again!

I took my wife out to celebrate our one-month wedding anniversary, and the experience was fantastic. The server and management went above and beyond, providing exceptional service throughout the evening and making our celebration feel even more special. The food was incredible, as always. Melting Pot is one of my wife’s favorite spots, so we’ve visited many locations across different states during our travels, but I can honestly say this location stands out with the best service and food we’ve had, hands down.
