We had the BFFF special for Wednesdays but doing the math the better deal would have been just to order the cheese and chocolate separate. Still love this place on occasion- much different than just getting dessert and drinks.

My only complaint is this once romantic restaurant was bustling with LOADS of families with SMALL children!!! I was always told it was rather inappropriate to bring small children to a restaurant that did not have a children’s menu! This place was truly designed for couples and at least older children. They don’t even have a changing table in the women’s restroom probably to deter this. The food was outstanding, the staff were incredible, and we still had a wonderful evening… just the noise level was very loud and the atmosphere completely different than had been in previous years. Especially on a Wednesday night when you would expect it to have been a little more tame.

Other than delivering our food, our waitress never checked back on us. Busboys filled up our water and we had to ask them for extra bread or other things we needed because she never checked back. When we got the bill we noticed it was padded. She added a $15 extra charge for a child portion that we didn’t order. When we asked her about it she refused to adjust the bill, stating she gave us extra portions. We were there three hours because our food took so long to get. It was way too long for two adults and two children.

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for sharing feedback regarding yesterday's visit, and we're so sorry that your experience wasn't up to your - and our - standards.

We came for our 25th anniversary. Our server, Nick, was amazing. He was very personable and made it a great experience. He messed up our dessert chocolate, but corrected it without us having to say anything. Food was really good as usual. The first drink I got was a little skimpy for $11 but the second was much better. Melting Pot remains one of our favorite places to dine for special occasions.

My daughter lives in KY and loves to come to the Melting Pot. We ate A L Carte and enjoyed every thing. The lunch and experience was made even nicer by our waitress, Sierra. She was so charming kept it light and explained everything to us. She is a great waitress. She got us to go boxes so that we could experience it again. When she comes up again we will be back. Thanks again for a great experience. Nancy and Michelle

We had a reservation and our server was Cantrell. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. He made wonderful suggestions for us in our food selections. The food was delicious and I suggest you ask for red onions to add additional flavor to your meal. The price was reasonable for everything you get. A four course meal for two at $98.00. It was such a great experience and I will be back.

We had a reservation at 8:45. We were seated at 9:10 and weren't greeted by our waiter until 9:30. We totally understand the shortage ofstaff right now and are more than willing to be patient, but even an "I'm sorry for your wait" would help tremendously. Food was okay but not worth $160. Will not be back.

Daddy-daughter dates don't happen very often due to my work schedule. The meal started with my daughter ordering a water and I order a cherry coke with cherries. When appetizers came we didn't have drinks, so we asked again for our drinks. 45 mins passed before we saw our waiter again and he began setting our table for the main course. When he did he brought my cherry coke without cherries. He came back out with the main course, skipping our salads. My daughter didn't have her water until half way through the main course. Then the main course was missing the lobster that my daughter specifically requested when we ordered. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he told me one sec but he never brought our lobster. I sought out a manager after our waiter gave us the bill to discuss we didn't recieve parts of our meal that we were being charged for. I found a manager and asked her to follow me back to the table to discuss my bill. She followed me back to the table and before I was given an opportunity to discuss my grievances with the service, she immediately referred me back to my waiter. I told him my grievances and he took the lobster off the bill and we were still expected to pay for the complete "Big Night Out" meal although we did not get the complete meal. My family and I have been coming to this location for the past 20 years and I was completely mortified by the lack of customer service from my last visit.

This is a fantastic restaurant ! YOU MUST TRY IT IF YOU HAVE NOT DINED AT “THE MELTING POT”. Give them a chance. Because they are under new ownership. They have have a fantastic Manager that has worked for the Melting Pot since he was 15 years old. He moved from Management in Florida too take over Indy. Our dinner lasted 3 hrs and 20 min but w/ the new manager, many additional team members will be hired and will give that impeccable MELTING POT service. Our meal tonight was fantastic.
