Dessert features mouthwatering chocolate fondue served with dipping items including fresh strawberries, cheesecake, marshmallows, pound cake, and brownies.

"As always, the melting pot is a great place for special occasions. What failings there may be with service, are always made up in the amazing food and fun of eating it all (not to mention the calories on my beltline)."

"My husband and I went to the melting pot on May 13 for our first anniversary. We had been to the one in Sarasota Florida and love it. I just realized while using open table that there are melting pots in our area and was so excited. I must say, everything was perfect during our dining experience. The food, service, and ambience was outstanding. I will recommend it to all of my friends and family and plan to go back soon ."

"The Melting Pot was a wonderful surprise for me. I had remember them from the old days and was curious what I would find on my return. The food was very good, actually well balanced and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The service was good and I most certainly will return.
A great place for groups and get togethers and a lot of fun.

"The whole meal just takes too long, towards the end of the meal its kind of dragging. I know each part of the meal takes time to set up and its a lot of running around for the waitress. All three times I went , I had made reservation and still each time the hostess doesn't seems to want to sit us, even the restaurant is less than half full, everything just seems so dragging with this restaurant."

"Cute little booths for two in an area I heard a server call "Lover's Lane." Clever design for couples to increase privacy in the dining room.
Service was great, and even though we were 30 minutes late for our reservation we were seated right away.
Our server was friendly but not clingy, offered recipe tips for making fondue at home, and alternate drink suggestions when the bar was out of an ingredient for the drink I ordered.
Everything about my time there was wonderful. I have nothing negative to say about The Melting Pot."

"Overall it was a fun experience. The little, private booths are nice and comfortable and the food is unique since you don't eat fondue everyday.
The negatives were the time we had to wait to be seated. We got there on time for our 6:15 reservation, but they told us they had to seat other parties before us (there were only 2 other parties waiting and many open tables) and we ended up waiting 15 minutes. What's the point of having a reservation if you have to wait anyway? My husband and I also didn't like the weird yellow light above the tables. It was meant to be romantic, but we found it harsh."

"This restaurant has really worked to improve their pricing and their food consistency. The menu has been revised, the pricing lowered, and we really thought the quality of the food was improved. The service was exemplary (Thank you Keira!) and we had a lovely evening. Previously, this was a restaurant my children chose for birthday celebrations, but after our meal last week, I would revisit more frequently. The leisurely pace is nice, but it did take us 2.5 hours to finish our four course meal. Great for conversation and fun with teens."

"I have been to The Melting Pot - Bedford twice, and both times have been great experiences. Not many restaurants give you the opportunity to be so involved in the preparation of your food, it is truly unique. Our waitress was very friendly and extremely helpful in our choices and how to properly cook the main course. When you get your food it never looks like enough, but the flavors, and the time to cook the food in the broth leaves you full before you finish. The restaurant is quite expensive, such that I wouldn't go but once a year on special occasions. But I think that on those occasions, given that it is more of an experience than just a meal, is certainly worth it"

"The Melting Pot is always a fun experience. They recently changed up their menu, so we had to be reintroduced to ordering the main portion again. Our waiter seemed new (even though he didn't state that), so he was a little confusing explaining it. They only offered specialty drinks listed on the new menu. And when asked about a specific wine, he ended up bringing the old wine list over and that had all the specialty drinks I remembered, but I order my stand by Martini already. When we ordered the wine, he clearly wasn't trained on how to present it. He simply poured everyone a glass. Overall, he was great and we let him slide with the wine since he was new . Cheese and dessert is ALWAYS outstanding! Pricey, but worth it"

"The food was very tasty and the waitress was great with our kids, however she took over an hour to come back to us after serving us our main meal. This was a big problem because we had to scrap the chocolate fondue we had been promising the kids all night because it was way past their bedtime by that point. The food was very expensive for what it is, I ordered a glass of wine I thought was $6 but was charged $9 because the waitress brought me the wrong one. BUt it was a fun experience and I would go back and just get the cheese and chocolate fondue."

"For a person who has never been to a fondue restaurant, I thought it was a fun way to incorporate playing with your food. But, I prefer a hot pot restaurant. This was way overpriced for the quality. The dipping sauces were okay at best, and they should have recommended what is best paired with what; and the batter? Forget about it. Not even worth it. They kept on falling off in the pot, and were hard to stick on certain foods like seafood."
