    My wife and I haven’t had fondue for many years but on this Veterans Day, we decided to go back in time. We didn’t regret it—the four course meal was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was luxurious. Well done Melting Pot!

    Great birthday dinner. Service was excellent and the food was perfect nice variety. I recommend adding the charcuterie board. Nice drink selection as well.
    The Melting Pot - Arlington VAResponded on November 8, 2024
    Thank you so much for your review and your business! We're also big fans of the charcuterie board. Next time you should try the double dippers, which add a fun textural element to the cheese fondues.

    Called out. Seafood allergy to start the night, ordered a Caesar salad, started eating it and it had anchovies. I checked the menu again and it was not listed as an ingredient, the manager didn’t really seem to care and was dismissive even tho it could have been bad. Server was awesome!

    This is always a slow dinner to start, but the service was really slow - lots of delays between courses and it made the dinner 3+ hours, which is long with children.

    I'm so sorry that we didn't live up to expectations on your last visit. I'll be reaching out separately to see if we can talk further about your experience, how it could have been better and how we can make it up to you.

    We had the best time celebrating our friend’s birthday at The Melting Pot! The service was phenomenal, along with the drinks (great cocktails and crispy Diet Coke), and the food… goodness gracious!! It’s the perfect place for a big group.

    We did the Octoberfest menu and wow, it was a lot of food. And the beer cheese was REALLY GOOD. They should offer that cheese year round. We had never done the grilling before, but it was fun, and the bratwurst, summer sausage, and pretzel bread were all delicious. It was a very nice evening. We also enjoyed the new seasonal wine/peach/ginger drink - that should be added full time as well.
    The Melting Pot - Arlington VAResponded on October 18, 2024
    We agree that our Oktober Fondue Fest is a great addition. No word yet from our head office about a permanent addition, but it'll be here through the end of the month in case you wanted to get your fix one more time!
