"The service was horrendous. I have never had a meal in less than 2 hours at this place. In fact, the last time I was here our waitress completely forgot about our table. I would not recommend this place based purely on the level of service provided."

"I took my mom to this restaurant for Mother's Day and we had a wonderful time. Our waitress was excellent and the food was incredible. I'd been to The Melting Pot a few times before (although not the Reston location), but it was my mom's first experience.
There was a special menu and when they called to confirm my reservation, I had the option of having a gift bag with a balloon, lotion, a small candle and chocolate-covered strawberries waiting for her on the table. It's definitely a little pricey, but it's worth it (once in a while!)."

"This is especially a great place to take friends who might be a little shy or less talkative because it is so much fun talking about the process of dipping and cooking your own food, discussing the various sauces, and chocolate dessert options."

"We ate there last Saturday night for my wife's 35th birthday and had a good experience. For those that haven't been there in a while, note that the restaurant is now at Plaza America (across the Toll road) . The food was good, as usual. Also, we told the waiter we don't eat mushrooms, broccoli, etc., and they brought out more of the other foods, to compensate. My only comment/compliant is the front desk would make rounds, I assume, to check to see where people were with meals for seating purposes, but I think they did it a little too much (a few people in the span of a few minutes). Overall good food, if a little pricey, and great ambiance."

"We had the four-course dinner, and it was delicious--much better than I remembered it being about 10 years ago. The cheese and chocolate fondues were great and the meat and shrimp fondue was wonderful--everything was seasoned to perfection and the dipping sauces were also wonderful."

"I've been to 6 Melting Pots, this was the worst. Decor was outstanding, but ambiance was awful. A Mother's Day Package was supposed to be on the table, then some hostess, 20 minutes after we sat down, handed us a plastic bag with some travel lotion in it.. Waited 45 minutes for a sling, then asked if we still wanted one. Waiter was really nice, but please stop describing to me how it works after we say "We've done this before!" Why ask if you're going to do it anyway? It was too noisy, food was underwhelming and the dessert fondue was pathetically empty. It was the wrong chocolate, but instead of fixing it the waiter swore it was right. The manager talked to us while trying to put our baby to sleep, never came back. This was not worth $100."

"We enjoy going to the MP for special occasions. Wait staff is fast, friendly and really know their menu. This is not a huge deal, but the booth we sat in was fairly small. I'm 6'2 and have long legs which were pretty crammed under the table. But like I said, not a big issue."

"The food was really great! But it seemed a bit odd that price-point was so high and ALL of the weight staff and hostesses were so underdressed. It seemed like a big mismatch to be served by someone who was so underdressed. Also, I called before making the reservation to make sure that we could use a special and was told that I could. When I got there, our watress said that special was over but did give it to us anyway. It was nice of her to give it to us, but she seemed irritated with us for the entire meal - which felt not so good. I would think that someone working for such a high price-point tip would act a bit friendlier. We like the melting pot but decided to try the one near McLean next time because of our experience."

"We showed up for our reservation a few minutes early and were told there would be a short wait for our table to be ready. A few minutes into waiting the hostess and manager recognized my fiancé was wearing a Washington Capitals shirt under his jacket and immediately struck up a conversation about the game that was happening that evening. She said unfortunately they were a little behind and asked if we would like to have a seat at the bar while we waited. We agreed and she showed us to the bar where she promptly changed the channel to the game! Talk about amazing hospitality and customer service!!! It truly was a great start to an incredible evening!"

"Food was great. Our server Beth was exceptional. It did take a full 2 hours to finish everything but my kids (8 and 10 years old) andn I enjoyed every moment. I especially LOVED the lobster, filet mignon and mushrooms during the entree course. Veggie (broccoli and mushrooms) were unlimited refill which was great for us needing some fiber. We used the LivingSocial 4-courses for 2 voucher and they were nice enough to let me use it for 1 adult and 2 kids. And we were all stuffed!"

"We had a fantastic evening. The food was delicious. There were a lot of options on the menu, good vegetarian options. The chicken, steak adn shrinmp in broth were among the tastiest I have ever had. The S'mores fondue was fabulous! One thing is it takes over 2 hours to complete a meal, but it was a great way to spend an evening. Very entertaining as well as delicious."

"The food was very good, I could just have the cheese and dessert course. We went with the cheddar cheese fondue and it was so good with the veggies. The resteraunt was dim and made for a nice romantic dinner. I have to mention the dessert, we went with the flaming turtle, I am so glad I saved room for that. All in all it's a great place for date night to change up the same old routine."

"I had fond memories of the Melting Pot as a child and thought this would be a fun walk down memory lane. The new location and decor in Reston are great. The staff seemed to be trying really hard to please. However, the food was just not that good. Maybe in the 70s the "novelty" of fondue would make up for that but while still fun to dip and cook, the quality of the ingredients (esp. for their price) was just average. It would stil be fun for a night out with the kids but not fine dining."

"The cheese fondue appetizers are rich and tasty. I loved the fresh, crunchy vegetables! I have always found the fondue entrees disappointing. I find bits of food essentially boiled briefly in broth rather dull. Some are just plain misnamed... Last night we ordered the "European-style Bourguignonne" fondue. We got a pot of hot oil and a couple of different kinds of batters to dip the food into before frying (one tempura, one heavier, sesame-based one) - and a selection of little pots of cold dipping sauces (inc. curry and sweet chilli). NONE of these elements is present in ANY Bourguignonne dish! Bourguignonne means cooked in the style of Burgundy (in France) - and usually in Burgundy wine. But chocolate dessert sauces and fresh fruit - YUM"

"I always love The Melting Pot but this time the server didn't know much about the food and also skimped big time on the bread and even more on the dessert. Too much money for them to bring out a 4 inch plate of desserts. When we asked for more she brought out an even smaller plate. It was disappointing because we had our two little boys and dessert is the funnest part for them."

"I bought a coupon through LivingSocial or probably wouldn't gone to The Melting Pot. The restaurant is very dark. The seating is mostly high backed booths with a single pendant light. The traditional cheese fondue is what I went for and it was fine. However, since everything but the salad is cooked at your table the experience of cooking and eating is endless (2 1/2 hrs). Also, the booths are so low so you can't really see what's going on in the cooking pot. The worst is the entre which you drop into broth and spend your time trying to scoop it out but you can really see what you're doing. And, the cooking times are so varied it just doesn't work well. Go for the cheese fondue and the chocolate fondue."

And our waiter was great. I actually went to high school with him so it was great catching up. I would definitely recommend this restaurant."

"After being seating and ordering a bottle of wine and our cheese course, we waited at least 20 minutes before seeing our waiter again. Then, after eating our salad, we waited at least half an hour before our entree course arrived. Our waiter finally reappeared he noted that some of the wait staff had left for the evening (our resevations had been at 6:45 on Sunday evening.)We interpreted that to mean that he had to fill in for them. Everything else was fine, but it took us close to 3 hours to have a 4 course meal."

"My friends and I took our daughters their for their "An Enchanted Event" lunch with a princess and it was a great choice. When we walked in they had Princess Belle in the front making balloon animals for the little princesses. She was great, super friendly and interacting with the girls. They also passed out little tiaras and wands to each girl. My daughter is balloon crazy so she loved this. The whole food experience was amazing. The only things I was diappointed in was the "Fiesta" Cheese wasn't very spicy even after we added a container and a half of jalapenos (it must have been a mild jalapeno day) and whatever the adult chicken was marinated in wasn't to my taste. :0) Overall it was an amazing experience and was a lot of fun!"

"This Melting Pot location is both cozy but airy as it has high ceilings unlike most other locations in the area. It's a great place for dinner if you'd like dinner to be the evening's event (which was our intent); expect to take at least two hours eating. The menu has a great variety of all four courses. We highly recommend trying the chedder, and the bananas foster."

"You all pre-set the table with flowers and a gift for my wife before we were seated. Very thankful for that and it was a great suprise. The food was great as usual but our waitress made us feel rushed and was fairly rude. We have never had bad service at the melting pot previously."

"The Melting Pot is a great place to go to celebrate a special occasion because the activity of dipping the fondue is kind of a ritual and it's easy to make conversation there because you can always talk about the food!
We were there to celebrate a special birthday and I ordered a drink I did not like - there was nothing wrong with it, I just didn't like that flavor. The waitress switched my drink to one I preferred for no charge which was very nice of her and really helped me enjoy my meal."

"Very fun place to go on a date. The cheese and dessert fondue are my favorite. I will go back just for that. I be won't getting the entree portion next time because it was messy and oil was splashing on our table, you are cooking your own dinner essentially. Also we hardly had room for dessert, which was a pity since we looking forward to the desserts.
In short, I had a great time and will go back for a special occasion!"

"Went for an 11 year olds birthday celebration and were able to get a table in the back room that easily sat us comfortably with ease of movement to reach the fondue pots and the noise level was quiet. The food was delicious and the menu choices could satisfy any ones desires. The wait staff was right on top of everything and the flow of the food presentations couldn't have been better."

"We enjoyed a great meal at the Melting Pot in Reston, VA. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was not as great as we have experienced in the past. We had to wait for drink refills, bread refills and to order our dessert. Also, it appears that brewed iced tea is no longer on the menu. Instead, you have to order a bottle of iced tea. This was a disappointment. Overall, though, we had a great time and a great meal."
