horrible horrible!!! We got put in the corner of the dining room where we had no interaction with anyone else in the entire restarant and no view of anything that was going on. Honestly the could have put our table in the bathroom and their would have been no difference. The food was absolutely discusting, who wants to eat cheese overpowered with nasty cheap sherry wine, or a ceasar salad that tastes like they poured sugar on top of it? Not to mention the fact of our entrees being so cross contaminated with the meat on top o... read more

Melting Pot The melting pot is amazing! The prices are a little high, but it is totally worth it. They have four course dinners (for couples) that will cost upwards of 80$, depending on whether or not you order drinks. It great jst to go for dessert too. I'd highly recommend it!

meh My one and only experience at The Melting Pot was a birthday gathering. I assume it was because of our somewhat large (8) party that we, too, got shoved into that corner table like the previous reviewer - I'm assuming it's the same table. Our waitress was very helpful and courteous. The service is what I expected at a more upper-crust establishment, so no complaints there. My complaint mainly has to do with the fare itself, namely the wine, beer and other spirits and liquers. It is VERY overpowering. So much so that I ga... read more

My 22-year-old's favorite! My son LOVES this restaurant and has since it's opening. The food is excellent, especially the fondue (of course) and the Teriyaki steak. But ... it is extremely expensive. They make it seem like ordering a combination dinner (appetizer, entree, dessert for one price) is a good deal but it's not. Order separately!

Pretty Good I had a group experience at the Melting Pot, it was myself and 5 other people. The food was good, the experience was nice. The bill was CRAZY! I always expect to pay a lot more when I go to Center City, but, this was a lot more then I expected. It seemed to me the liquor was way over priced. This is a good one time a year type place, nothing I would do on a monthly basis.

OMG! That is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of my very first visit to this amazing restaurant!!! My boyfriend and I were in town for my birthday, the big 28! We went to the Mets Phillies game that day (we are huge Mets fans) and the Mets won, WOO HOO! We were having the best day and I had made reservations the day prior. I spoke with I think Patrick to make the reservation, it was very easy and he was very helpful. I told him we were coming to town to celebrate my birthday. I told him we were staying at the... read more

Great food – The waitresses were very friendly. They made sure that we understood how to order since it was our first time there. The food was outstanding, especially their spinach or artichoke dip for appetizer. The chocolate fondue is to die for. I would definitely go back again.

good times – before going to this restaurant, i read a review that warned diners to only go with people they enjoyed spending time with. after a 3 hour dining experience, i am glad that i took that advice. service was friendly and satisfactory. they clearly explained everything that went into fondue, and came quickly when we had problems or questions. food takes a long time to cook though, leaving a lot of lull time that is best filled with conversation. i wouldn't recommend this place for a first date, but if you're going w... read more
