    Service was atrocious! I understand it was NYE, but then don’t take more people than you can handle. Waited 30 Minutes for our glass of wine, only saw our server when he brought food. Not good. Disappointed for a $300 dinner

    Really overpriced menu for NYE with limited options and low quality food. We have been coming to Melting Pot for years and I was incredibly disappointed that I spent such an enormous amount of money on a subpar meal.

    This is my 5th time doing this at the Melting Pot, but in different cities. I felt the portions of the appetizer, salad, and cheese were diminished to increase the profit margin. It was not a dinner that I will jump to again next year.

    We were greeted warmly and seated right away. Alex was pleasant, capable, and experienced. We had a good time and the food was excellent. However, we were rushed throughout the meal, including clearing plates while I was still eating and bringing the check before we started eating the chocolate!!! We were literally finished in under 60 minutes. My husband and I have been coming the The Melting Pot for close to 30 years, starting back in the 90s at the old location. We would linger over dinner for 2-3 hours, taking our time and enjoying a special night out. This was not our experience last night, as it was clear that the server wanted to be reseated as soon as possible. This is unfortunate.

    Always a fun family experience us. I especially appreciate all the gluten free options and how knowledgeable the staff is about them. It is also nice that the managers are visible and actively helping assist the servers. Although we miss having a Melting Pot in St. Petersburg, this one is worth the drive.

    I have been dining at various Melting Pot establishments for over 25 years and the Sarasota location did not disappoint. The atmosphere, food and service were outstanding as always. The four course fondue for two was perfect for us: cheese, salad, entree and chocolate!

    This particular experience felt a little rushed which is not typical. I also noticed some serious downsizing in the portions.

    My family had never been. If you haven’t, it’s definitely an experience to remember! And staff were so great! Definitely go, but don’t go overboard on extras offered because the 4-course meals are a ton of food!

    Lea, our server was wonderful! We had such a great time. I do suggest you get a full time bartender and not use a server. We waited quite some time between drinks.
