Best service and food in Nashville, TN

by LilK89 at Citysearch

This was the most romantic place me and my wife has ever ate. I found was very good. You are not rushed, you take your time and enjoy yourself. Service was very nice from the front door to our waiter. This is a place to go every time you need a weekend with your signifacant other. I'd give it more stars if I could.

• Pros: Service, romantic/special occasion dining
• Cons: none

Great Service - Great Experience!

by bwgoods at Citysearch

My wife has been begging me for years to take her to the MeltingPot. I finally broke down and made reservations for our anniversary. I thought who wants to cook thier own food at an expensive restaurant. Well was I wrong. The host offered to have a rose arrangement waiting for my wife at the table. She insisted that I think of something nice and lasting to say to my wife and then had a custom printed card waiting along with the roses. Everything could have been horrible after that and my wife wouldn't have cared. She was blown away when she saw them. Robin was our server and he took great care of us. We spent a leisurely 2 hours enjoying each other and savoring each bite. The servers actually prepare the cheese fondue course in front of you and we had a good time cooking the entree. We were full by the time our chocolate fondue and dippers arrived but managed to feed each other a couple of dark chocolate dipped strawberries. We'll be back even though it was a little expensive, but the time we spent there was well worth it.

• Pros: takes reservations, has flower arrangements available
• Cons: need reservations, valet not available

Romantic!

by alishadawn33 at Citysearch

My husband and I went to the Meltingpot for dessert after a evening in downtown Nashville. The Chocolate Fondu is amazing and they bring all the dessert items for dipping that you want. Dessert for two was $15 and totally worth it. We were stuffed. Dinner looked pricey but smelled amazing. If you don't want to spend the cash for dinner, eat across the street at Ichiban (sushi) then cross over for dessert!

Pointers from a long time customer

by sugarmoma22 at Citysearch

First of all, make reservations! This should be done preferably a few days to a few weeks in advance. Second, leave the kids at home. Third, come hungry and get the four course meal. In the long run it is well worth it. Expect to be there roughly 2 hours. This means come with someone you enjoy talking to. Don't be put off by cooking your own food. It is quite fun. However the servers do prepare the cheese and chocolate courses and the presentation is well worth the 18 to 20% gratuity. Keep in mind as well that a dress code of no hats is enforced. I believe this is a recent development. The atmosphere is a little tacky but the service and good food more than make up for it.

• Pros: great food, top notch service, excellent wine list
• Cons: poor music choices, poor decor, a little pricey

Fun, Romantic, Interactive and Unique

by angelaweathers at Citysearch

What a wonderful experience. The food was plentiful and delicious. It's a fun and interactive meal in a cozy, romatic setting. I would not recommend this restaurant for children under 12. It's pricey at 130$ per couple but the staff, food and fun is well worth the money for a special occasion. Make reservations and have plenty of time - you'll be there a couple hours, at least. Tip was added to the check automaticly... they were generous to themselves at a full 20%. I dont know if you can make that a standard 15% or not. There is only 1 fondue pot per table unless you reserve a table that has 2... you must ask.

• Pros: Fun and Unique, Delicious Food, Private & Romantic
• Cons: 20% Tip automaticly, added to check , without asking

Love everything about it...

by clarkew13 at Citysearch

The Melting Pot is a great experience. If you let them, the service staff will guide you through your experience so you have little to worry about. This is a fantastic choice if you are willing to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. If you want to take your time, go on a weekday. Don't go in and become angry at the service staff for having to cook your own food, because there is nothing they can do about it. This is NOT a restaurant to bring small children. Great for special occasions, and they'll even help you out with flowers and balloons if you reserve ahead of time!

• Pros: Service Staff, Chocolate!

Always a pleasure...

The Melting Pot in Nashville is by far one of Nashville's best treasures... I have dined there several times and never get tired of the atmosphere as well as the food... the waiters are highly knowledgable, as well as friendly, and prompt... I have NEVER had a bad experience at this restaurant... also their special dinner nights such as Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve are phenomenal...

• Pros: private, romantic, tasty
• Cons: , parking

Night Out

by mlbooker25 at Citysearch

This was our first time at The Melting Pot and my first time in Nashville! It was wonderful. It had been recommended to me by a coworker and I have to say I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try something different, and romantic! Our server, Mechelle, was so attentive and courteous. The price is a little more than the "normal" restaurant but this place is anything but "normal". Thank you for a wonderful night out. If I am ever close to there again I will go there again!!! Thank you! =)

• Pros: location, ambience, great choices of food

Something Special

by vanderbiltgirl at Citysearch

My husband and I try to go a few times a year. I look forward to a wonderful evening. Everything is perfect. From the salads, to the cheese, to the meats, and to the dessert. I have never tasted anything as succulent as their chocolate. My favorite is the yin/yang. White chocolate and dark chocolate make the yin/yang in perfect form. The atmosphere is cozy and quiet. Ahhhh!
