This was our 1st visit to this chain & we really enjoyed it. It is a different dining experience....not a place to go if you are in a rush. All meals are centered on a fondue service. Our waiter was informative & overall excellent...one of the best waiters we have ever had. The food was very good...many different options of... More

We visited the Melting Pot in Harrisburg and had a wonderful experience. It was our first time and our server was very helpful in telling us "what to do." We did the "normal" 4 course meal and had a lot of leftovers! This is defintely something a person has to try at least ONCE..if not more than once!

The fondue courses were fabulous, we had the 4 course. It was so much food, when we go back I think we will skip the cheese fondue, so we aren't stuffed when we leave. The server, Mari, was great, very friendly, explained everything to us since it had been a while from our last visit. They had a nice selection... More

Loved it! Waitress spilled a glass of wine, knocked over an empty bottle of beer, but it might have been her first day or week or something & we're relaxed people so it was no big deal, she was really nice. I had the most amazing mixed drink, "love martini", I've ever tasted. The food was out of this world.... More

My husband and I love coming here for special occasions and we usually spend Valentine's Day here as well. They have special menus from time to time and we almost always choose one of those options for our meal. Go with the intention of spending money, as nothing here is cheap. Also make sure you have room in your stomach... More

We went to the Melting Pot for dessert on our Anniversary. It was wonderful, as usual. Our server was very attentive and helpful. We chose two different kinds of chocolate fondues. The Flaming Turtle was great. Then we did the Original Milk Chocolate with Peanut Butter. Yummy!

It is very expensive for what you receive. It's nice to try for a different experience. It's great for a date night. The sauces they serve taste really good. The drinks were awesome. The dinner for two did fill us and we couldn't finish dessert. The chocolate covered strawberries are delicious.

Over priced, marginal quality, barely enough food for two. $126.00 ???? Big bonus - you get to cook your own food Huh ? Dessert was also a joke. I do not wish to sound like a grump, but this was, without a doubt, the worst restaurant experience my Wife and I have ever had..... The owner has to be laughing... More

It's been there for four years & I heard all the stories oh how nice it was. Yesterday we decided to give it a shot. We got the four course classic. Beautiful meal for two for $70. It's a nice medley of different meat & shrimp to try. We had the boudin one sauce which is a little trickier to... More

Great date night restaurant!!! You cook everything at your table. My favorite part is the dessert fondue! It is expensive, but worth the splurge! For two of us we spent $120.00.
