    Our server, Wells, was experienced, helpful and not intrusive. Our party ordered gluten-free dinner and there were many selections from which to choose. Everything was delicious and paced very well. We will definitely be back.

    We always dine here at this location when we are in town as all of our Louisiana locations have closed. Portions have gotten a lot smaller, which is good - as you can now eat most of it and not feel miserable. But it is still expensive.

    Our server was very good, albeit extremely busy. He apologized and explained that while the restaurant was packed, they'd had a server or two call out and thus were short-staffed. It did not deter from our experience; we had a lovely dinner. And he even brought out two birthday plates with our dessert course. But requests for drinks were sometimes slow and our coq au vin broth had to be replenished during our cooking because it had boiled off before we received our meat. Again, NOT OUR SERVER's FAULT - he was swamped. And again, our dinner was lovely, just pointing out they were super busy and understaffed this night.

    Our waiter was wonderful...very polite and thoughtful, stopping several times at our table to see if we were enjoying our meal. This, inspite of his being very busy last night during dinner hours! He made our meal a very positive experience...of course, the food was fantastic too! New Year's Resolution: Go to Melting Pot more often than just every 6 months! :)

    While our server was very nice and the food was good, the service was unbelievably slow! So slow that our broth boiled down to almost nothing before they brought the entree meats out. It was not a busy night, so we were surprised with how long everything took. The manager jumped in a couple of times to get food to our table, which was good of him. I’m not sure if they were understaffed or if the kitchen was running behind? This location also lacks the ambiance of other Melting Pot restaurants. I think we will go to the one in Reston in the future.

    We visit The Melting Pot with our friends every December as a Christmas tradition. This evening our food was outstanding (as always) and the service was excellent. I also received chocolate covered strawberries when we departed.

    We loved the Santa lunch for kids -- great way to introduce our 6 and 8 years to one of our favorite special occasion restaurants! They LOVED it.

    Not worth the price. Restaurant was clean but very worn down and out of date. Didn’t set the mood for our celebration. We ate and left quickly.
