The place is really cozy and the service very friendly. The food is great, from the salads to the cheese fondue and the desserts. We had the meat lovers and it was amazing, really recommended! And for dessert the chocolate with rum is really nice. Definitely a place to visit as a couple for a romantic meal or with family and friends!

The Valentines Day meal was totally worth it! The atmosphere at the Melting Pot location in Arlington is super cozy and romantic. Lots of small rooms divided with partial walls, giving your table an intimate feeling with not being in eyesight of others. The meal was preset and a bit on the expensive side. However, if you’re willing to splurge for the whole experience - the food was great, its fun to cook yourself and the staff does a great job checking in, making sure you have everything you need. Definitely would recommend trying for a special night out!

We always had a great here, the service is very good, the food is good too. This is a fun experience for kids and for the family in general. They have a kid’s menu, we had plenty of food, we were 5 and actually if you go with people that not eat that much you can actually share the protein. The cheese was good, a lot of bread and veggies, the seasoning was great on the meet, and the dessert was good too. If you like spicy I highly recommend the Fiesta cheese Fondue, it’s very good, if not the Wisconsin cheddar is good too. Our entrees were Steak lovers, land and sea, Pacific Rim and just chicken, they are a very good portions. And to the end, our chocolate fondue was pure chocolate and banana foster and this last was amazing. The drinks were good. At the end they surprised my little girl with a happy birthday piece of cake and a wonderful decoration.

I had the best birthday dinner in a long time here! The artichoke cheese fondue was just out of the world and the yin and yang chocolate fondue stole my heart. On top of that our waiter Wells gave us an excellent service and great recommendations. 10/10 would come here again!

We came in on a Friday night and they weren’t super busy. The parking is right underneath the building and requires the restaurant to validate your parking pass to make it only $2. Our server was friendly and responsive, always checking in with us. We went with the first option for the course meal which was $106 for two people. We had the garlic cheese which came with fruit, veggies, and bread. I think that was the best part of the meal! We then got California and Caesar salad, which was okay. Coq au vin with the classic and pacific entrees, the portion size was much bigger than I thought. The meats were seasoned well and tasted fine without the dipping sauces. For dessert we got the yin yang which was white and dark chocolate that came with fruit and other sweet things. Personally I thought it was too sweet. If I came back I’d order a la carte and get the cheese and entrees, as those were the best part of the course meal. But overall had a great first experience!

We ate here on a Monday night so it was pretty quiet but we had such a lovely experience!! All of the fondue was great, I think especially the cheese (we had spinach & artichoke) and chocolate. The meat tasted fresh and we really liked all of the sauce options (variety and quality). Everything was fantastic, it's always a treat to come here. Also I can't remember our server's name but he was wonderful to us and really made our experience fantastic!! Thank you!!

Elizabeth, Liz, Eli lol was amazing! Last night was our first time visiting The Melting Pot. Liz’s personality was very welcoming and her table service was as awesome as the food…actually better than the food! Ha! 5 STARS! We will visit again :)

First time here and honestly it’s a nice experience. The food was good though, definitely enjoyed the steak ! My favorite was the house salad but the best part was the chocolate fondue for dessert. The espresso martini was just the right amount of sweet and chocolate.

I went there for my sister birthday and it was our first time. It was such a great experience. We choose four course dinner for 2 and TBH it was a lot for us and be prepared to spend not less one hour there if you chose it. Everything was really tasty and delicious. The service was good.

The Melting Pot is a chain restaurant line that specializes in fondue style dining. You are seated at a table that features a small cooktop in the middle of the table where you basically cook your own food in a boiling pot of broth. You choose your protein preferences and the flavored broth you would like to cook it in. The selections are steak, chicken, seafood and veggies in any combination! They also feature a dessert option that serves different types of melted chocolate, i.e., milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate and a half white half dark chocolate combo. Your dipping choices are served in an oval dish which features, strawberries, slices of apples and chunks of angel food cake. Definitely the most popular item. I have dined at many locations over the years as it was, and in some cases still is, a specialty restaurant for romantic evenings and celebrations. In my opinion, the food has gone downhill since the earlier days of the Melting Pot. Quality of food used to be the star of the show. Not so much anymore. The meat is dry and tough and in smaller portions then it used to be. It used to be a restaurant where you would dress up a bit and the vibe was slightly upscale. Now, diners wear shorts, sandals, raggy jeans, dirty T-shirts and quite frankly, the restaurants stink of dirty carpet. While my recent visit wasn't terrible, I don't think I will be dining there in the future. One thing to note is that our server was awesome! Not his fault. *** Side Note: Not a good place for small children for obvious reasons. If left unsupervised, burning accidents can definitely happen! Maybe 10+ would fine, with supervision.

The food was great as always. We had the 4 course meal with the Wisconsin cheese fondue which was delicious. The dippers for the cheese were plentiful. The California and Caesar salads were really flavorful. We did the land and sea mojo style for the entree. I feel like that's the least exciting part because you have to cook it yourself and the process takes a while. We ended with the cake fireworks explosion chocolate fondue. That was disappointing aside from the cool fireworks but the cake crumbled a part in pieces and the cotton candy was doused in some inedible solution so we couldn't even eat the cotton candy. It was just okay, not worth the extra money. I had the Love Martini which was really good. My overall rating is mid because the service was SUPER slow. The waitress was not very attentive to our needs and took forever with our requests which made our dining experience long and dragged out. Hopefully next time it will be a better experience.

Came here for my partners birthday and it was - underwhelming, to say the least. For the price you pay there is definitely not much you get. We asked our server (multiple times) if the "refills" they mentioned were included or additional and they advised they were included in the price - then proceeded to charge us when we got the check. This chain has gone down hill over the years and this experience, especially it being for a birthday, was disappointing. Would not recommend to anyone - unless of course your money is burning a hole in your pocket and you need to spend it on a lackluster "experience".
