Honestly it was mids for the money we spent, we have been to the Melting pot over 10 times throughout our marriage. And it has always been a great experience. But its not the same after Covid, one thing that surprised me was the host at the front was made to clean tables during dinner service. Thats wild. Our waitress was not as attentive as we would have liked. For a 400$ meal for 3 and a 95$ tip. Food all looked beautiful. The lobster was amazing. But that's about it. Except the bread with the jam from the charcuterie board that jam was amazing. But I don't think 400$ for bread and jam ain't worth it in my opinion. Eating out nowadays is becoming less and less worth it. Just my honest opinion

Portions smaller for the amount received with cheese, and dessert courses. Prices went up and I come here every year for my birthday and it was just off.

It waa a fun enjoyable dinner where we could talk and cook our delicious food. I liked the fact we were in our own area and could easily talk, relax and enjoy the fondue experience.

The dining process took more than two and half hours. It was too long for a family dinner with young kids.
Melting Pot - TacomaResponded on 11 October 2026
Hi Jeanne! Thank you for sharing your feedback! Our standard dining experience typically lasts around two hours, as fondue is meant to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. We understand this may feel lengthy when dining with young children, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We hope to welcome you and your family back again!

Melting Pot has yet to disappoint! No matter what location we have visited we are always 100% satisfied. Our service and food was excellent and the coffee recommendation with dessert was spot on—preventing us from slipping into a food coma before our concert at the Tacoma Dome. Thank you for kicking off a wonderful and memorable time in Tacoma!

Hi Meagan! Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your experience. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Myangel, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable fondue experience soon!
