Reviews for The Melting Pot in Durham, NC
A fun experience so if you're interested and don't mind a pricey dinner, give it a shot. The menu is clearly designed for a date... night with 2 but we had a table of 6 which worked okay but we did run pretty low on cheese in the appetizer. The appetizer alsofeatured some stale chips but the rest of the items were fairly good. The salads were pretty good. The entree was a littlelackluster though some of the sauces were pretty good. The best part was the chocolate fondue dessert and it may be worth comingout just for the bananas foster and chocolate sauces. It's definitely not the worst experience and the novelty is nice but Ithink you can find better food for the same price or cheaper elsewhere. Read more
if you can afford an overpriced interesting experience, do it. if you want tasty good-value food, don’t do it. people are... friendly, salad tastes fine, not enough cheese fondue, chips are stale, entree pot missing flavors, decent chocolate fonduedesert. for 60-70 per person price, you could find way better food elsewhere.

Super overpriced lol. Not worth if you’re vegetarian. The dessert tho was exceptional. The banana fosters one was delicious.... Our friends and I had a lot of fun doing this for the first time. Chris, our server was super. He deserves an extra star, makingthis a four-star experience. Read more

I believe really going to this type of restaurant is mainly for the experience of just going. First of all waitress was really... good and honest she has been there 4 yes and enjoys her job wish I could recall her name. That doesn't matter though she wasnice. The atmosphere was nice and quiet comfortable for conversation. The 1st course of cheese and breads fruits was good,saleds good. But the Entres was just ok maybe because my first time there and trying to figure out what I might would like. Butdefinitely need to find a new supplier for lobster tail it wasn't very fresh. Now desert fondue was great we got Bannana Fosterwas excellent!! All and all good but alittle over priced. $142. for 2 people that didn't include the tip of $30 which I was gladto give for a good waitress. Maybe they should give free tea or coffee or lower the menu prices or give free desert fondue justsuggestion. So wouldn't be so expensive. Like I said I think these types of restaurants are for once in a blue moon diningexperience. Read more
Edit: The manager called me and ask my husband and I to come back and they proposed a solution that completely made it up to us,... we will be back. We had a reservation for 7:30, finally got seated around 8:30, waited another 20 minutes no one had come to ourtable so we left, we were really disappointed in this experience as we used to enjoy coming here.

We had an absolutely amazing time! Food was fantastic and it was such a cool experience. When making the online reservation, we... noted it was our anniversary. They brought us to the back where there was a little pod with a curtain for privacy. It was socute and romantic. The only thing we had a problem with was the entree portion. We picked the cast iron grill for our cookingstyle, but that was probably user error. Overall, had a great experience and can not wait to do it again! Read more
