    Went there for the experience and was cut short of one by a land slide. Got sat past our reservation time, but that’s whatever. Then another 15 minutes until our waiter came to us, a glass of wine took over 30 minutes to get. We waited a while between corses and our waiter was nothing but unenthusiastic and no hospitality. Not once were we asked by anyone how anything was. And we found what looked like to be a fake hair in one of salads and the bread we got was hard and seemed to be left out all day. Also never asked if we wanted anything boxed up. Save your money and have a better dinning experience somewhere else.

    I took my mom out for her Birthday and it was a wonderful meal. Andrew was our server and he did an awesome job. Very attentive and helpful with any questions. Food was great as always, and super fresh. The GM Rick was also wonderful and continued to check on us as well as surprise me and my mother with Champagne for her birthday. We will definitely be coming back very soon!

    Our experience started with a 45-minute wait past our reservation time before we were seated. The restaurant itself felt stripped down, as if they had removed decor to cut costs. Adding to the odd atmosphere, they were selling stuffed animal mascots, which made me question whether I was getting an upscale dining experience or a Happy Meal. While waiting, we sat at the bar, where the bartender greeted us with little enthusiasm—more of a "here’s the drink menu… oh, did you want something?" type of approach. I ordered a chocolate martini, which was very dark but surprisingly decent, while the raspberry margarita looked nothing like the picture and was overloaded with syrup. Once we were finally seated, the food was great, and our waiter was outstanding. He mentioned he was newer, but you wouldn’t have known based on his excellent service. That said, the overall vibe of the restaurant felt off—almost like a place that might not be around in six months. My wife summed it up perfectly in the car: "I wouldn’t go back to that location." There were also some cleanliness issues. Our table had a dirty fork, which can happen, but then the table next to us also had a dirty dish—once is an accident, twice is a pattern. It just contributed to the overall feeling that the place wasn’t as well-kept as it should be. It wasn’t a terrible experience, but it didn’t live up to the standards we’ve come to expect from other Melting Pot locations. The Naperville location, which has since closed, was much better. Now, not only is that location gone, but this one didn’t impress either—disappointing on both counts.

    We had a reservation and waited 30 min for our table, and then waited another 10 minutes before being approached by our server. Only did chocolate fondue and it took a very long time to receive. My glass of wine was forgotten had to ask for it when our food came out. Chocolate fondue was very good but items to dip were fair at best.

    Don’t go here unless you have about 3 hours to spare. Service was extremely slow even though we had a very early reservation and food was mediocre at very best. It took over 2 hours to receive the cheese entree and then finally the main entree was delivered for us to prepare. The only thing we all agreed on that we liked was the chocolate fondue. Tab was $450 for 5 adults and 2 young kids! Only one alcoholic beverage was ordered. We could have gone to a nice steak restaurant for that price. Would not recommend. We won’t be going back.
