The service is horrible. Really annoying christmas music screaming at you while you eat a $100 meal. Will never go back there again. more

Fondue is REAL 6/20/2011

This was sooooo much fun. Me and my friends came here because we didn't believe that you could have a restaurant that only does fondue. I mean, we didn't even think it was for real. Well it is. And its good. We got the spinach artichoke fondue and then the mojo with the steak and chicken and shrimp. I would give them 5 stars, but price makes me only give them 4. more

a romantic date night 9/3/2010

as a chef myself i have a pretty good eye for poor hygiene at a restaurant and this place is top notch as far as i can tell. the food you cook yourself is part of the experience with your date. Its pricey, but romantic dinners usually are. and 3 more words of encouragement: chocolate covered fruit. Ladies, do your cardio before you go! more

Editorial review from Urbanspoon 2/13/2010

I like the concept of making your own food at your table and the chocolate is delicious, but I think I go to a restaurant to be served cook food and cooking it seems like too much work....I am not relaxing worrying about if I will burn myself. more

Editorial review from Urbanspoon 2/23/2009

Even with a reservation the wait was excessive. The food as always still good since you cook it but the service was awful. When I asked for some spoons for the sauces, I was handed spoons dirty with someone else's leftovers!! and they were placed on top of the veggies so good bye to those. The amount of chocolate was not nearly half as it was served before. more

Editorial review from Urbanspoon 2/14/2009

Usually very good about their service, but this last time.. They kinda embarresed me by putting a "Happy Anniversary" balloon at the table and made me look kind of desperate instead of the blank balloon I requested. The girl thought I was moving kinda fast. more

Big Scam 11/16/2008

If you want to throw away your money and cook your own food in dirty water not to mention leaving the restaurant smelling just like the food you just cooked then go for it. If you like chocolate and dont mind the calories then maybe going there just for desert might be for you. more

FANTASTIC!!! 8/16/2007

I absolutely can not get enough of this place. The atmosphere, food, drinks and service are all top knotch. And the best part is.....this restaurant is FUN!!! But make sure to come with a huge appetite because there is enough food to fill you up before your main course even comes and you have to leave room for the chocolate!!! Its the BEST PART!!!!! more

GREAT PLACE FOR A ROMANTIC NIGHT OUT! 5/13/2007

I have visited here several times. You owe it to yourself to have a caramel apple martini while waiting to be seated here. Once seated, you won't be dissappointed by the selection of fondues on the menu. On Valentine's day, they only offer a special menu that is the best I have ever tasted. It features an Italian cheese that I wish they served every day. WELL WORTH THE PRICE! On a regular day, I would recommend the Pacific Rim over the other options. The dumplings that come with it are a nice appetizer to the different meats. Make sure to make some stuffed mushrooms as well!! The cheese and dessert fondues delicious! Overall, every experience I've had at this restaurant has been a good one. Pros: GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE Cons: COOKING WITH OIL HAS IT'S DANGERS more

TAKE IT FROM ME!!! 7/12/2006

I am a former employee of the MeltingPot and I must say that it is quite exquisite. The staff is amazing and the food is the freshest I have seen in ANY restaruant kitchen. Everything from the salads to the desserts to the bread are prepared fresh daily. The dinner may be a bit time consuming, although with good company it should be very enjoyable. The wine list is very impressive and the wines are stored in a temperture-controlled wine room to guarantee freshness. The bar is a beautiful centerpiece to the restaurant, and their selection is extensive. Leave room for dessert! Great for celebrations and large parties. Reservations are HIGHLY recommended. They have numerous returning customers who come back for the consistent satisfaction. Time for you to be one of them! Pros: Romantic, Great Dessert, Great Drinks Cons: You have to cook yourself more

just go for dessert 4/27/2006

I tried all the menu had to offer... the cheese fondue, the meat and veggie fondue, and the deesert fondue... and by far the only plate worth while getting is the dessert with chocolate. The cheese fondue was great and the food was OK, bu not worth the money The food takes way too long to prepare. I would say the food is average but the dessert is to die for... and on a friday or saturday MAKE RESERVATIONS Pros: great dessert, nice setting Cons: value for money, too long to cook more

A waste of your time and money! 2/9/2006

The Melting Pot has never failed to disappoint me! Extremely overpriced for self-cooking, average food (except cheese - very good), clothes smell when you leave and the rudest, most obnoxious hostesses in the world! I arrived on my last visit at 5:00 pm on a weekday! It was completely empty. They were going to sit us by the kitchen door. We were giving major attitude and eye rolling when we refused. Go somewhere else!! Pros: good parking, nice decor, great cheese Cons: expensive, attitude, smelly more

Vegetarian Friendly 9/30/2005

I don't agree with the reviewer who posted before me on 06/15/2005. I'm vegetarian, and love dining at the Melting Pot. Just remember they only serve regular marshmallows for the chocolate fondues, they don't carry those vegan gelatin-free marshmallows. They should offer them and just charge more (they're expensive). So ask them to skip the marshmallows and instead just give you more of the fruit or cake to dip. You can also bring your own vegan marshmallows, which I've done before, and they welcomed it. The gourmet salads and pastas were delicious and vegetarian. And of course, the cheese and chocolate fondues are out of this world. They also serve a plentiful platter of fresh vegetables for the main course. This is actually one of Miami's most vegetarian-friendly restaurants. If you have vegetarian friends, family or date, this is a great place to come and share a meal at! Pros: Great for large group, Nice staff Cons: Not private enough, Not romantic enough, Long wait for seating more

The Melting Pot doesn't do well for spontaniety 6/14/2005

Every time I want to go to the melting pot, I need a week's notice on the reservation. I once tried to come in at 5 o'clock for dessert, and they wouldn't seat me though the resturant had many vacancies. The did however offer me to sit at the bar, which is not very romantic. The food is great, and the service is good, just make sure you make your reservation. Also, make sure the person you are taking is not vegetarian! more

most romantic evening ever 6/8/2005

I could not have asked for a more perfect evening. The lights are dim, the booths are private and cozy, the music is soft but jazzy and the food is mouth-watering. From the cheese fondue appetizer that the server prepares for you on your table, to the chocolate fondue dessert, with cakes and strawberries that you dip into warm chocolate and feed each other. It was our anniversary, and it was the most romantic evening my husband has ever planned for me. The restaurant had fresh flowers and balloons delivered to my table. What other restaurant provides those services? I will celebrate every anniveersary with them for years to come. I definitely recommend to couples in love, or looking to fall in love... Pros: friendly staff, amazing dessert, beautiful bar area more
