    In all of our visits to the Melting Pot, this is the first time that we have felt we were rushed through our dinner. We hardly had a moment to talk before our first course was brought and the salads right on top of the cheese course. We hadn’t finished the cheese and they were bringing the main course. We were constantly having items cleared off the table as soon as they believed us to be done. It just wasn’t a relaxing anniversary dinner we were hoping for.
    The Melting Pot - CincinnatiResponded on November 22, 2024
    Hi Pamela, I am very sorry to hear your anniversary dinner with us wasn't up to par. I'm truly sorry you felt rushed during your experience, we definitely don't want that to be the case for our guests. We appreciate your business and definitely don't want this experience to deter you from dining with us again in the future. I went ahead and made notes on your guest profile so this doesn't happen to you again in the future! We appreciate your feedback as we will use it to learn as we will make sure to address with our team the importance of proper pacing. We hope to have you dine with us again soon for a much better experience! Best, Doug B. -AM

    It was so fun and delicious! Our server was great and the manager made us bbq sauce! We have 4 teen grandchildren and took them to dinner. So 6 of us was fun size group. We started with cheese fondue -Alpine and Wisconsin cheddar. Both delicious. We ordered 3 land and sea and 2 salmons. And weren’t able to finish so I cooked the remaining and took home. The proteins were all fresh and delicious. We did one broth and one griddle. And of course the chocolate .so yummy! Loved it!

    The quality of the food is was not great. Steaks are not oh good quality and were not cut into equal size portions for easy and accurate cooking in the oil. Chicken was not seasoned as it should have been, I’ve been there a lot and the herb crusted chicken is one of my favorites however this time it had very little seasoning on it and was pretty plain the chicken was also not properly portioned for for accurate cooking times. The melting pot used to prepare your cheese at the table and it was an experience they stoped this a while ago and the quality of the food has begun to fall as well. It’s not what it used to be that’s for sure.
    The Melting Pot - CincinnatiResponded on November 7, 2024
    Charles, I'm very sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your recent dining experience with us. We definitely don't want our guests to feel like the quality of their food doesn't correlate to it's value. For the seasoning on the chicken breast, I'm sorry you felt like the amount was subpar, we'd be more than happy to bring a side of it to the table so you can add more to your liking. Lastly, for the cheese being prepared at the table, while we don't automatically do it at every table we can prepare the cheese tableside upon our guests request. We greatly appreciate your feedback and hope this experience doesn't deter you from dining with us in the future. If you'd like to discuss your experience further, please email us at cincinnatimelt@live.co m. Best, Doug B. -AM
