The Melting Pot, Pittsburgh

The food here is excellent. You must get the big night out, this way you can try all of what the restaurant has to offer. Expect to cook your own food! Don't worry, it's fun!! Also expect to spend a few hours here!! Do not, I repeat DO NOT get the oil to cook your food in, if you want fried food go to KFC. I've tried all the cooking styles and the best is the one with the wine in it. Definitely save room for dessert. The chocolates are all amazing!! Definitely make reservations and if you're on a date try to request table 41, it's the most romantic table in the restaurant. I've been waited on by several different staff members and Joe is by far the best server there! This is definitely a place you'll want to come back to (that is as long as you don't get the oil cooking style!!!). Pros: Great service, excellent food best dessert in town! Cons: the oil cooking style more

This is a great restaurants to go out with the girls, or on a date. Pros: Beautiful, delicous Cons: Pricey more

The wine list is great, and its sooo romantic for dessert. The food was disappointing and if I wanted to cook, I would do so at home. Pros: Nice atmosphere, romantic for after dinner dessert Cons: Price more

I celebrated my birthday this past weekend dining here with my husband and another couple. We were seated promptly and when we got to the table there were balloons and a bar of chocolate waiting on the table!!! We all went for the ""big night out"" which is all four courses. Cheese was very flavorful and we never ran out of food to dip into it!! When it came for our entree course I was overwhelmed.... lobster, shrimp, chicken, beef, and even pork, which I normally do not care for, however the pork melted in my mouth and was full of flavor. When it came time for chocolate we picked my favorite, dark chocolate.... and there are no words to describe how good the chocolate was. BETTER THAN BIRTHDAY CAKE! Pros: Service, food, atmosphere Cons: a bit expensive more

Tonight my husband and I FINALLY got to experience this AMAZING restaurant in Station Square. It's not often that we get to share a ""night out"" away from the kids!! We recommend making reservations in advance because the restaurant is very busy!! It took us a week to get reservations!! We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation, but we didn't mind because it gave us a chance to sit at the bar and look over the extensive wine list! If you love wine, like we do, this is definately the place to go! Our server was very personable and quite knowageable!! He made the night more enjoyable!! The food was absolutely amazing!! The cheese course was made right at the table. The entree course was brought to us and we were taught how to cook our dinners, with our fondue forks, in one of the cooking styles that we choose! The best was saved for last. The chocolate course was sinful! It came with a variety of breads, cakes and fruits for dipping! Definately come hungry when coming to this restaurant!! It was so good--that you have to actually force yourself to slow down!! The average dinner takes awhile so plan to slow down and spend some time!! I would surely recommend the restaurant to anyone!! It truly lets you spend time with your loved one or friends without feeling rushed and lets you truly enjoy the experience!! For the wine lover and those of us that grew up with fondue it is an absolute MUST!!! Pros: Outstanding ambience, food and service Cons: A little bit "pricey" but WELL worth it! more

I am truly impressed with this restaurant. I've been there several times, its always busy and the wine pricing and selection are great. On my last visit Colin, my server, recognized me as a former patron. I always enjoy my experience at the restaurant but this time they truly went above and beyond. The owner stopped by and talked to us about wine and recommended a great bottle from thier list that has at least 400 wines. Service was on, prompt but not intrusive and our private table made our anniversary dinner perfect. To my surprise the owner actually sent us out a 20 yr port wine with dessert to thank us for celebrating our anniversary at this restaurant. It's a unique place that enables you to sit back, relax, and enjoy your food and company. Make sure you go hungry if ordering the Big Night Out because all four courses will fill you up. It's a bit pricey but well worth the experience and time you get to spend dining on a special evening out. (Save room the chocolate is the best part!) Pros: Wine, Wine, Wine (oh yeah Cons: always busy and a bit expensive more

I dine out frequently and for my birthday my boyfriend made reservations here. It was a truly memorable experience. He arranged to have a private table that was so romantic I was startled to see a flower arrangement and wine waiting for me when we were taken back. We had all four courses with the Big Nite Out. The meal was delicious and niether of us could believe how full we were. As a wine drinker I couldn't believe how much they had! If you like wine you have to try this place. If you are tired of the same old thing go to the Melting Pot. Pros: wine list, romantic Cons: pricey more

We loved the Melting Pot the first time we went there and have been going back ever since. The one thing you need to remember is you are going to make a night out of it. We loved the fact that you get to enjoy a drink at the bar while waiting for your table and dinner takes a while. It gives you the chance to really spend time with your significant other or your guests. We always get the ""Big Night Out"" there are some many choices, you get to try a little of everything and can keep changing your menu every time you go there! The wait staff was great and the owner always comes to check and see how your night is going. If you want a romantic night out or haven't seen close friends in a while and want to catch up this is the place. Pros: Great Food Cons: Expensive more

The ""Big Night Out"" describes more of the price than the amount food you receive. The 'cheese' course started with bread cubes, apples and very small amount of vegs. which were refillable if the waiter was around to refill it. He was back in time to bring the salads. House dressing was good. The entree was definately not comparable to the price. Entree consisted of a few beef cubes, chicken cubes, 6-8 shrimp, 3 ravioli, and 2 pot lickers. Not much to share between 2 people. Dessert is a chocolate lovers dream. Several choices of different chocolates served with fruit, marshmallow, very small brownie and pound cake cubes. The 1 small slice of cheesecake... tasted sour. Salad and entrees good but not worth $82. Many other restaurants in the area with a much better menu and value. Pros: Quiet Cons: Expensive, food quality more

We really enjoyed this place. The food is amazing, especially the desert. We had the ""big night out"" which includes a cheese fondue course, salad, your main course and desert. For desert we had the S'mores melted chocolate. Absolutely divine. Our only gripes were that we had a 10:00pm reservation and were not seated until 10:25. When we were seated we lucked out with the table in the broom closet, honestly the smallest table there which included walls on three sides and was about 1/3 of the size of the other tables. The Hostess was also very unpleasant. Overall, the food won us over and we had a really great time.. it would have been BETTER if our table hadnt been so crappy but I guess thats what you get when you're a teenager. Pros: great food, fun experience Cons: crowded more
