Our server Kat was extremely attentive, helpful and friendly! We have been here many times and this felt like one of the first times we didn’t feel like we were sat waiting forever for our next course to come out. Also the manager on shift came by our table to see how everything was going and if we needed anything and we asked for more teriyaki sauce; there must’ve been a slight misunderstanding in the kitchen because shortly after we were brought a very large bowl filled with teriyaki sauce… it was hilarious and we did not go the rest of the meat course needing any extra sauce! Great customer service!

We always love coming to the melting pot for a date night. Whether it be for celebrating or just having a night to ourselves. The food is always so yummy but the service is superb. This visit, we want to thank Seneca for making our date night special and relaxing. She took care of our table so well.

We went there for a romantic night. Everything started fine with a nice booth. Our waitress took the order and brought the cheese fondue but forgot the wine glasses and disappeared. When we finished the appetizer she finally brought the wine ... We then waited for 2 small salad plates for half an hour and finally got the main fondue. The fondue was good overall but let's face it $200 for something that requires zero cooking skills is totally off the charts. You can buy a fondue burner and cook your own fondue at home for a whole year at this rate and not have to wait 30mn to pour 2 glasses of wine. The chocolate fondue was nice as well but extremely sweet. There's only a half strawberry to dip in the chocolate everything else was a heart attack triggering sugary overbaked form of cake. At half the price and with waiters that can actually pour wine this place would resemble the great cosy fondue restaurant you can find in the Alps. Still a lot of work to do to turn this place into a cornerstone of Boise best restaurants.

Just an overall terrible experience. Had to wait over 30 min after our reservation time just to get seated. Once seated, the service was extremely slow. Our server would constantly disappear for long periods of time. The food itself in my opinion is not worth the price, but could have been much more enjoyable had the sever been more attentive. It took so long in between each course that by the time we got to our main course we were ready to go home. For how long it took to get through our meal, and the amount of money we spent on a party of 4 people, left us all feeling very underwhelmed. You could likely go to Chandler’s, get superior food/service, and save money. Hopefully others have better experiences, but we likely won’t be visiting the Melting Pot again.

This is hard for me to do this review because we just love the Melting Pot. We have celebrated anniversaries, birthdays, valentines day's and other special occasions over the last 12 years and until tonight, we've loved coming here every time. Tonight though, was a terrible experience all around. The food,as always, was really good, we even tried new things (mostly because they had an extremely limited menu) but the service tonight was just horrible, our waiter only came to the table to bring our food and never checked on us at all during the 2 1/2 hours we were there. We had ro ask the busboy to get water, asked another tables waitress to get more sauces, never got the rescue spoon for the veggies, even though we asked twice for one, it took 20 minutes to get a drink after we asked for it when they brought the extra sauces. We will go back because we love the place, just hope the service is better or we won't go again. For what we spent, we should of gone to Chandlers, at least I know the service would of been spot on.

It was my first time here and everything was phenomenal. Rob was our server. He was polite, professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and EVERYTHING he recommended was spot on. I told him I was allergic to shellfish and he was more than happy to accommodate and gave recommendations. He gave us little fire show which was really cool. I was a bit skeptical before coming and Rob changed all of that. Thanks for a great experience

really liked the place in an old fire station. The fondues of different kind were a nice surprise. We selected the broth with veggies and meat/fish combo, which was awesome. That left room for the chocolate fondue as desert. We left the cheese fondue for starters as was, for us a bit too much. We still are amazed as Europeans that while finishing your entree, the waiter already drops the bill on the table while mentioning that we shouldn't rush and take our time. Whoops, that's odd, isn't it? It feels like they are chasing us away to make room for others. And they didn't ask whether we would like coffee/tea for instance. This seems however the American way of dining, which is so different from the European style dining experience while eating out. Well, that's why one has to travel ;-)

Melting Pot team members Fon and manager Justin made our night. My daughter and I went in for her birthday on Saturday. We love the potatoes and mushrooms in the Garden Pot and asked for a special request. They took great care of us and we loved our veggie dinner. Of course we had the cheese fondue to start. This team is friendly, professional and go out of their way to exceed their guests expectations. Fantastic spot for a fun night out or special celebration. When weather permits outside dining is also an option. Don't miss this gem.

We had approximately 20 college friends of our daughter for a birthday dinner. Ophelia, the manager, was wonderful to work with and so accommodating when we made a last minute change in our number. We had our own room which was great and we were let in to decorate in the afternoon. The service was terrific with Allessio at the lead and the food was delicious and fun and conducive to conversation and laughter. It was a fun evening.

This service was phenomenal. Our server introduced himself as Max and his knowledge and enthusiasm of the courses we were served was admirable. He had a great sense of humor, kept it light, and was a blast. He helped us with questions we had. 10/10 would recommend Max as a server.

Great place to spend a special birthday night. Spendy, but worth the money to have the full four course experience. Intimate setting. They always seem to sit us where we can have privacy. It’s nice to have a good place in downtown Boise where the food is always good. Consistency with food AND service quality is key and this location hits both of those markers every time.

I had a phenomenal evening out for dinner with my mom. Our server, Kevin was very personable and did a wonderful job making our entire experience so seamless. The general manager followed up at the end to ensure our experience met our expectations and it surpassed them. The caprese salad was very fresh with the perfect amount of balsamic glaze. Our fondue was the perfect flavor and consistency! I would highly reccomend trying the Melting Pot if you haven't already!
