The Melting Pot

AWFUL SERVICE...

by andrea615 at Citysearch

I have been going for at least the past 10 years for special occasions; however, this past Valentine's Day was so awful I will never go back to this overpriced restaurant. Our server, David, talked down to us the entire evening and answered any questions we had in a condescending attitude. He really made our entire experience awful with his uppity tone. I have no idea why, especially in his positon as a server, he thought was better than me and my date. Furthermore, they had a high grautity added on which he absolutely did not deserve. I have called the district manager twice and have been ignored which aggravates me to the point that I will not go back and will encourage others to avoid the location. There are plenty better restaurants with respectful, nice servers. STAY AWAY!!

• Pros: Chocolate fondue
• Cons: Service, cost

Arrogant staff

by kerrygoodwin at Citysearch

Remarkably arrogant wait staff appears to believe this restaurant is on par with Per Se and Aureole, but the food and service have much more in common with Denny's.

• Pros: Leaving
• Cons: Food, service

Over priced and over rated.

Melting Pot has a nice gig going -- you cook your own food in a poorly ventilated room, deal with spotty service and get overcharged in the process. The dim lights and tucked away booths make you easier to be ignored by wait staff. And they're extremely conservative with their drink limits. Go for dessert - go for an appetitzer but by all meals don't get suckered in to staying for an entire meal.

• Pros: its on 2nd ave
• Cons: poor service, conservative, poor management

overpriced/underqualified

by ssslady1 at Citysearch

I feel as though it was way overpriced for the food. I was very dissappointed in the food and in the service for he amount of money that I spent. I have been many places and I will never go there again.

Melting Pot----NOT !!!!!!

by john_hemmer at Citysearch

This place is not worth going to for the experience and I would never go back. It is fun until they are rude to you. The food is not even decent. You get very simple raw food and way to little of it. The cheese is stale at best. The atmosphere is a very lacking, and the service is very poor. You will wait up to an hour or more to for your table even with a reservation. Very pricey meal for self-service. Melting Pot-NOT!

• Pros: Love and Hour Wait, Love Rude Service, Love Slow Service
• Cons: Over Priced, Low Quality Food, Bad Service

where is the beef

by Drew at Citysearch

Where is the beef...little cubes of raw meat...any 4 dollar hamburger has more meat than that and at least they cook it for you...and for the pleasure of cooking it yourself you blow at least a hundred bucks in the process...I think the staff must go home laughing every night at how stupid we are for blowing our money there...I was not laughing when I got the check I was crying at how dumb I was !!!!!!!!!! The next time I feel like doing it myself I am going to a car wash!!!

• Pros: where is the beef, eat before you come, blow a hundred bucks
• Cons: rude, slow to be seated, way over priced
