    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Amazing Experience & Outstanding Service! We had such a wonderful experience at The Melting Pot in Harrisburg! A huge shoutout to our server, Cam, who was absolutely AMAZING! He was incredibly charismatic, friendly, attentive, and made our entire evening even more enjoyable. His personality really stood out, and you can tell he genuinely cares about making his guests feel welcome and taken care of. He constantly checked on us, made sure our water glasses were always full, and paid attention to all the little details without ever making us feel rushed. That level of hospitality truly makes a difference! The Melting Pot is already such a fun and unique dining experience, but having someone like Cam makes it even more memorable. He is definitely an asset to the restaurant! We will absolutely be back, and we would love to have him as our server again. Highly recommend! ❤️🫕

    I am stunned at my most recent experience at Melting Pot Harrisburg. We are regulars for special occasions since the opening of the restaurant (reservations under my name and other family members over the years). Melting Pot is in a special category of restaurant experiences. It doesn't work when you don't have a competent server given instructions to unfamiliar guests (we had some in our party) and expertly transitioning/timing courses. I've always been pleased/impressed at the service level in the past. This night, we were given a server in training...I get it. We've all been there. However, she did not have sufficient skills to be left alone. We had to repeat multiple orders, she couldn't explain elements of the menu, didn't have any of the Melting Pot process explanations to share, and couldn't keep our drinks filled. I'm wondering if she had even dined at the Melting Pot before given the lack of basic knowledge. The server supervising her attempted to take over when he realized we didn't have drinks after 15+ minutes but appeared pulled between tables and couldn't clear the multiple piles of plates between courses or transition between courses in a reasonable amount of time we've come to expect from dining dozens of times here over the years. We had to repeatedly ask for drinks (even getting other servers and MOD involved). We also had to repeat orders multiple times to multiple people. Resume: Former concierge for local resort...over 13 years in hospitality and trained in AAA Four Diamond Standards. Guest in the party is a server and bartender with 20 years of experience. GM: Don't insult us with attempts to argue with our review. We're literally your perfect repeat customer with years of professional experience in your industry. Your MOD for the night made an absolute fool of himself as I tried to leave. I had come to him in private to try to explain our concerns. I literally took hospitality/food service complaints for a living. You made things worse.

    We have been there 100 times over the years. Our server was very nice we do like him (we’ve had him a few times) but extremely negligent and hungover he told us for the second time we’ve had him now. It was my son’s 18th birthday and not one of us were offered or asked about a second drink. We felt rushed and the chases was taken before they were done with it. The salads had no dressing. It was so bizarre. We had the same waiter last year for his birthday and it was similar experience with him but this year it was semi ridiculous for spending over 500$.

    We didn't eat there. We left after waiting for 30 minutes at our table. We were seated immediately and waited 30 minutes and they hadn't even gotten our drink orders yet. Very disappointed. We were hungry. Made reservations and were there on time. Will not be going there again. Used to be out place to celebrate milestones.

    Valentine was amazing! So patient, great personality. The drawback is how long the meal took, with us having 2 younger kids 2.5+ hrs was a long long time.

    We arrived a family of 2 adults and 4 kids the waiter told us a certain kids menu that wasn’t on the menu and we repeated the fact that it will be 16$ for a smaller portion of 3 course meal. He came with the bill and charged us full price for kids and said I didn’t understand correctly Was very rude and felt antisemitism as we are Jewish SHAME!
