While primarily a good steakhouse, their menu is unusually broad and interesting. I've had both the duck confit and the grouper, both of which were superb. My son had the bison tenderloin, which was exceptionally tender and flavorful I've never seen puttanesca sauce on fish but bet it's great. I look forward to more visits to try every item they offer.

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.

Everything was great. My only suggestion is to add more lighting to small corner tables with no sconces above them. It was hard to read the menu with just a tea candle and enjoy seeing my food color & presentation.
