Great Time, Every Time! – After reading some of the reviews on this place I can tell its definitely not for everyone, but I have been here multiple times and have ALWAYS received GREAT service and food. A little pricey, but you have to remember you are paying for the experience, don't forget to bring some extra $$ for your server, because they work their butts off!! I would recommend this restaurant for couples because of its romantic atmosphere.

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.

It's hip to dip at this cozy fondue-lover's paradise. – In Short Booths equipped with tabletop fondue pots are clustered together inside the intimate dining room. Start with a cheese fondue, including an assortment of breads, veggies and fruits for dipping. Entrees include lobster, center-cut filet, fish, chicken and vegetarian selections served with a variety of dipping sauces. For dessert, try the flaming turtle, a mix of chocolate and caramel flambéed tableside, served with nut-covered marshmallows, fresh fruit, pound cak... read more

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

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!

Lots of Fun – I think this is a great novelty restaurant. The first time you go there is a lot of explaination; but if you ever go again- it makes a lot more sense. The staff is always looking to please and offers you lots of extras if you ask for them. That goes for the dippers during the cheese and dessert!! wahoo. I think anyone who goes there should of course know what type of restaurant it is. You do cook the dinner yourself, and use the sauces yourself. If that is not your style- don't go there. I can understand if you... read more

Poor quality food, poor presentation, but good service – It's not the raw food per se...its the overly perky Applebee's type wait staff, the poor presentation, the plastic jar of Garlic/Wine powder placed at your table, the dipping sauces, and the quality of the food that is the problem. The place looks nice so thats a bonus, it smelled bad thats not so good. Lets start with the first course. The fondue is mixed by your perky waitress at the table, she was no chef! She stirred and stirred with her little fork (I felt bad). T... read more
