    Paige was hands-down the best server we’ve ever had at the Melting Pot. We hope she never leaves because we’ll definitely ask for her again. The food was great and we left very full!!

    We love this place and franchise - fondue is a fun experience. Restaurant was a bit brighter than I would have liked, and they are always noisy, but what can you expect when the restaurant is full and everyone is cooking at their table. We’ve never left the Melting Pot disappointed. Or hungry.

    We choose The Melting Pot, because we had fond memories of eating at another one with friends. The Newport News establishment did not disappoint. We ate early and the dining area was quiet. Our hostess and waiter were spot on with their service. A reasonable selection of wine and after dinner scotch. We normally avoid chains, but we will certainly visit a Melting Pot again.
