Melting Pot

We attended the Melting Pot restaurant in an (early) celebration of Valentine's day. We had reservations at 5, and decided ahead of time to skip any cheese or appetizers due to the fact that we had prior plans for 7pm down the street at the comedy club. We arrived at about 5:02, and waited for 10 minutes or so to be seated. more

I've been to all the different Melting Pot locations in Orange County and I like this one the best. I feel like the staff is the most helpful and friendly and the servers always do a great job. My husband and I come here a few times a year and it's always a great experience! Pros: Great food, good service, nice location more

I kept hearing people talk about this place so I decided to see what's up. I made reservations 2 weeks in advance not because I wanted to... it was because they were busy. ""Wow""... i thought to myself. This must be good! Finally get there and I feel like I'm about to embark on a culinary journey of palatable excellence. After all... you needed to have reservations, the food is priced on the higher side, location is pretty good... this is going to be wonderful, Right??!?!?!! Actually... it was...O...K. I did enjoy the secretive seating. The seating makes you feel like you're secluded. The last time I felt like this was in LA at the House of Blues Foundation Room. (Look that one up if you don't know what I mean.) If you asked me what I ate I couldn't tell you... that's how memorable the experience was. I equate this place to Rain Forest Cafe... you go once to experience...but there's really no need to come back. For the same price we paid here I'd rather enjoy a nice prime rib dinner at 5 Crown, Lawry's, Gulliver's, Houston's, or Ruth's Chris Steak House. Not Morton's though... that place isn't worth it either. All those restaurants are close by...some are ACROSS the street. Please don't be fooled by other reviews. Most people equate higher priced dinners to quality... I eat at a lot of restaurants... this place is... eh... sub par. Pros: Secluded seating easy for fondling date (or yourself) above and below...for reals. Cons: Food was just....okay. Cost too much for what you get. more

good Service and a great atmosphere... but it took three hours to complete this dinner. The appetizer and dessert were fantastic... appetizer consisted of a cheese fondue and for dessert we did a white chocolate with an assortment of fruits and marshmellows. the entree was the low point of the evening, cooking each individual piece of chicken became more annoying then anything else. Our waiters name was jeff and he did a great job. Next time.. I will just order appetizer and dessert. Pros: service and atmosphere, fun with friends Cons: entrees take too long more

Very unique, but bottom line average food at abover average price. The desert is definetly better than the dinner and the cheese app. was so so. Pros: Different from other restaurants Cons: Very expensive more

Great place to bring the family but will cost you some money. My family loved the atmosphere and we all had fun trying all the different dips. Well worth it. more

A good dinner, nice atmosphere with great service. Plan on spending $60-$70 per person. for their four course meal with drinks, tax, tip. Pros: Great service, good food Cons: Price more
