    Unfortunately I didn’t catch his name but the manager went out of his way to make sure my son was happy. Since they don’t have kids meals and the food wasn’t cooking quite fast enough for my hungry 1 year old, he went to McDonald’s and got my son a happy meal! The waiter was exceptional as well. The overall experience was well worth it!

    Great experience and delicious food! Our server was awesome too. Highly recommend Quattro Formaggio cheese, Coq Au Vin for cook style and the Sunshine Sangria.

    Great place and excellent service! Me and my boyfriend love going out and today was our first time trying The Melting Pot for our late Valentines. It’s such a unique experience compared to other restaurants, loved the drinks and the food. Our server Rose was a highlight, very nice and attentive, she was knowledgeable of the menu and gave us great recommendations, she even brought a plate with “Happy Valentine’s” written on it. We will definitely be back 😊

    Perfect Night Out with Mom! We had the endless special! It was all delicious! Had the flaming chocolate turtle for the Chocolate Fondue, the Bomb! My favorite was the teriyaki steak. We cooked it on the grill at the table. Very attentive server! Stunning atmosphere! Quite a dining experience’

    5/7/2022, 4pm Came here with my better half, to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. We started out with drinks... Strawberry Sangria and a hard cider. Delicious. The water was tasty...and that's important... We got the fondue for two... Started out with the Wisconsin Cheddar fondue...which was amazing! The bread and pretzel bites were delicious...even managed to eat some veggies... The steak lovers and the surf n turf came next. We chose the flat grill to cook our food. We added the lobster tail and that was totally worth it. The shrimp was delicious. The chicken tasted fresh. The lobster was awesome. The multiple kinds of steak made the meal. The peppercorn and teriyaki steaks were my fav. Now we were supposed to get the chocolate fondue as our dessert, but could not come close to finishing all the food. So the Manager allowed us to return at a later date for the chocolate fondue. Clean restaurant. Clean bathrooms. Excellent dining room music. Excellent service. A very fun idea for dinner. Had a blast!!! One of the better fine dining restaurants around. Worth the trip for sure. Bring your appetite AND your wallet. Great food isn't cheap.

    You'll have a high-service, expectedly costly production of a fondue experience here. The ambiance is soothing and romantic if you come before the peak, which hits at around 8. After that, it can get a bit noisy and feels trendier. My wife and I went in for the high end four course fondue selection experience for two for our anniversary: a cheese course, salads, the entree and a dessert course. It opened with a cheese fondue and a variety of dippers like apple slices, breads, and veggies. My wife wanted the loaded baked potato variety, which had a beer and cheddar base with traditional baked potato toppings like scallions and bacon, as well as bits of potatoes. Several other cheese varieties were available. All of them were decadent. Our salads were flavorful and well prepared. I had the Caesar, which came topped with pine nuts and my wife had the house salad. The vegetables were fresh and the toppings complemented one another very well. 4-Hour entree, we had a variety of seafood, beef, and chicken. We had the variety of entree that came with a lobster tail and we had the coq au vin fondue with it that came with a broth base and included a variety of mushrooms and onions, as well as a red wine. We enjoyed it, but we would like to try another variety of preparation when we come back. I particularly enjoyed the lobster and the teriyaki beef. The entree also came with a variety of vegetables that included potatoes, broccoli, and mushroom caps. All things said, it was delicious and appropriately portioned. After our entree, we enjoyed the dessert course. My wife loves chocolate and peanut butter, so we had the house original which includes melted chocolate and peanut butter sauce. Mildly warmed, it is served with pound cake, brownies, pineapple, strawberries, and some mixed sweets like Rice krispie treats and marshmallows. My wife had the wine flight. It included, I believe, four separate small glasses of a variety of white and red wine. My wife's favorite was probably a surprisingly bright variety of Pinot grigio. I just had tea. For many people, this experience will be fairly expensive and only appropriate for an occasional treat. However, that may be part of what makes it so special. I don't know if I would want this restaurant to become too regular. It always needs to feel like a unique experience.

    I recently dined at The Melting Pot, and it was a delightful experience. From the moment I stepped in, the cozy ambiance and warm lighting set the mood for a perfect evening. The restaurant's concept of fondue-style dining was unique and engaging. The menu offered a wide array of delicious options, including cheese fondue, a variety of fresh meats and seafood for the main course, and an indulgent chocolate fondue for dessert. Each course was beautifully presented, and the servers were knowledgeable and attentive throughout the meal. The cheese fondue was rich and flavorful, accompanied by an assortment of bread, fruits, and vegetables for dipping. The main course featured tender and well-seasoned meats, complemented by an assortment of dipping sauces that enhanced the flavors further. The highlight of the experience was the decadent chocolate fondue for dessert. It was a pure indulgence, with an assortment of dippers like marshmallows, fruits, and cake, making it a sweet ending to a delightful dining experience. The Melting Pot's atmosphere was perfect for a special occasion or a romantic date night. However, the pricing may be on the higher side, so it's worth considering for a memorable experience. Overall, I highly recommend The Melting Pot for fondue enthusiasts and anyone looking to enjoy a unique and interactive dining experience. Thank you Alex H. For a great experience at the Melting Pot tonight! We will definitely be back a themed Girls Night Event!

    I had the pleasure of having Kenna as our server for a special occasion - my 7 month anniversary dinner with my girlfriend at The Melting Pot in Fort Myers. I have to say, Kenna's service was absolutely perfect. She went above and beyond to make our night truly magical. From her warm and friendly personality to her attention to detail, Kenna made us feel like VIPs. She was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. Kenna was attentive to our needs without being intrusive, and made sure that our dining experience was flawless. Thank you, Kenna, for making our special night one to remember. We highly recommend Kenna to anyone looking for exceptional service at The Melting Pot. 5 stars!

    READ!!! Hurricane Ian Flooded Our Home and Vehicles. Melting Pot Owner (Bill) surprised wife and I with free 4 course fondue meal + anniversary balloons and photo/picture frame + chocolate strawberries. However that wasn’t all. He even offered our family an RV to stay in while we are displaced from our home which is unlivable. Our insurance didn’t cover alternative housing so Bill saved us. While in the restaurant I overheard that Bill has been doing nice things for emergency service personnel and other things in the community. This is a business we need to support in the community because in our time of need this business has supported us. I attached photos. This is a rare photo of our family smiling right now amidst so much devastation and disaster post hurricane ian. Bill Schmearer we are forever grateful for your kindness and compassion to our family. The Melting Pot is a treasure in the community and I wish it many more years of success. Bill, the owner, doesn’t even know we wrote this review. He just is a nice guy when no one is watching ❤️🙏

    First time at the Melting Pot. I recommend doing it at least once. It's more about the experience than food and it's not a cheap place to go for dinner. Our server was great and explained our options. Reservations recommended. Best thing was the DRINKS! So amazing! We went with the $52 per person Thursday dinner deal which included four courses. Cheese fondue, salad, main dinner consisting of several options (meats, chicken, shrimp, sauces), and dessert fondue were included. You can customize some as long as both of you agree, or you can order a la carte. You cook items yourself on the hot stove top in front of you. I recommend skillet cooking for the meats. It was fun. Next time I'd rather go to Brazilian Steakhouse where professional chefs will cook my food for me but this was great for entertainment. Check it out!

    My mom and sisters and I came to The Melting Pot for a girls night out. We had no idea what or how to order, but Gabriel was so helpful in explaining the menu and all of our options. He was friendly and attentive. We had a great night of delicious food and lots of laughs. We left full and happy! Thanks Gabriel and The Melting Pot for a perfect night!

    We were on our way to another restaurant for lunch and drove by The Melting Pot. On a whim we decided to give it a try instead. Sooo glad that we did! Ambiance, service & food were excellent! I ordered a margarita (was nice and refreshing) fiancé ordered a makers mark mule. Then we ordered the local flight of wine We decided on the complete experience for two. We both had the same items: Alpine fondue Strawberry Salads Pacific Rim in Coq Au Vin Flaming Turtle Chocolate Fondue It truly was a unique & perfect experience! We were both pleasantly surprised with the quality of drinks the variety of food options, and the exceptional service. Our server was Alexandra and she was just delightful with great service. Thank you very much we will definitely be back again. 👍🏻😊

    It was, honestly, a perfect evening! My wife and I were celebrating our 22nd anniversary. We don't go out a lot, but The Melting Pot was the perfect choice! The staff was exceedingly pleasant and helpful. The pace of the meal was comfortable and we never felt rushed. The quality of the food was excellent and the quantity was perfect. We both left feeling comfortable full. The key to our entire evenings experience though, was our server, Kenna! From start to finish she was absolutely wonderful. She was ready for every question we had, made excellent suggestions, and was a pleasure to interact with. The next time we visit we will absolutely be requesting her again. It was a wonderful anniversary and The Melting Pot played a big part in that.

    My wife and I had a reservation for dinner to celebrate our two year wedding anniversary. I opted in for the touch of romance package and it was the perfect add on. We had the full course package for two. We both enjoyed every meal from the cheese fondue to our main course, and of course the delicious chocolate fondue. It was our first time dining here together and we both loved it. Our server was made our night with his personality and funny jokes. Will definitely come back to enjoy another perfect meal at the Melting Pot.

    Amazing experience here. Would definitely go again. Wait staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Made it a great experience. Manager made sure we were happy as well. Not an everyday place as it is a bit pricey, however it is worth the $$ spent.

    The staff were amazing, everyone was super friendly and accommodating. They always checked in to ask if we needed anything and if we were good. Our waitress was very informative and made great recommendations and suggestions as this was our first time. Would definitely recommend for an intimate date night

    This was my second time and my boyfriends first time eating at a Melting Pot. We went there for our 9 year anniversary and Emily and the staff went above and beyond making our dinner special. The table had rose petals and a picture frame plus a single rose and electric candle. They took our picture which was placed inside the frame for us as a keepsake. Emily helped guide us through the entire menu and which allowed us to select the best package for our dinner experience. The food was excellent and the dessert was beautifully presented with a plate where they had written “9 years” in chocolate for us. Thank you so much for an unforgettable anniversary dinner. We will definitely be coming back again.

    My boyfriend and came here for the first time tonight to celebrate our anniversary, let me just start by saying the staff and the presentation of everything alone was PHENOMENAL. Matt was our server he was very informative of the menu and steered us in all the right directions. Our dinner and overall experience was incredible and will definitely be returning! Great for date night :)

  • 3/5 Elson G. 11 months ago on Google
    Very nice experience. The food was good, not really a fan of cooking the food myself. It was very cozy, but I didn't see any exhausted fan for removing the smell and smoke out of the place. Left the restaurant smelling food.

    Galen and Alex H was great at the bar. We had great conversation with them and the family. We loved the chocolate fondue along with the variety of dippers to put in the fondue. Went for my sisters birthday and it was the PERFECT outing, she loved it. Thank you Galen and Alex!!

  • 5/5 Grant N. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic unique place, cozy not noisy, great for a romantic date esp. Thursdays (call and ask). Tasty, and full after the dessert round. Server Hallie did a wonderful job, we need more like her! Online reservations work great. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Cristina K. 11 months ago on Google
    My boyfriend had never been here before so I wanted him to experience it and it was definitely a great time! The food and drinks were delicious and overall it was a really fun experience. Alex H. was our server and he was very friendly and thorough. My boyfriend has a nut allergy and everything was handled carefully. We’ll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Valerie N. 1 year ago on Google
    This is not for the cheap spenders or fast eaters. It takes time, like for us 2.5 hours. We have enjoyed the Melting Pot Restaurants in several states (because we move a lot). This Fort Myers location did not disappoint us at all! Our waiter was so good and took care of the way we like! Plenty of delicious food. Worth every dime.

  • 5/5 Christopher K. 2 years ago on Google
    A wonderful fondue experience with the choice of a la carte or a full 4 course meal.

  • 5/5 Marnie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Tonight we celebrated Gregory's birthday at the Melting Pot. Samantha was our delightful server extraordinaire. First and second courses were Alpine Cheese Fondue and California Salads (with a wine flight and a Yin & Yang Martini). 3rd course at the Melting Pot was Pacific Rim (shrimp, chicken Pot stickers, duck, sesame teriyaki steak, and sesame crusted Ahi Tuna) cooked Coq Au Vin style (burgundy wine with mushrooms and scallions).4th course at the Melting Pot was Flaming Turtle chocolate fondue with assorted dippers and a Birthday surprise for Gregory!

  • 5/5 Mary W. 1 year ago on Google
    A great fondue restaurant. They offer a wonderful anniversary package - dozen roses, souvenir photo, chocolate strawberries, rose pedal table. Great service and food.

  • 5/5 Nicole R. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fantastic experience at The Melting Pot! Our server, Tommy, was really fun and hilarious, which just made an already great experience even better! The food was great as always, and my mother even got a special little treat for her birthday since we were asked if we were celebrating anything. Food and drinks were beautiful! Overall would definitely recommend dining here!

    This is a reminder that there are GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD THAT DESERVE OUR KINDNESS IN RETURN. This was my first time as well as my husbands at melting pot. I would like to thank Jessica at the fort myers melting pot. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was but only because she brought a great honest attitude that carried the night! It is crucial that we respect each other and the fact that we are all working hard to make it through these stressful times. She was thoughtful in walking us through the menu, showing us a fun time through each course and and we are very grateful to have gotten the opportunity to have her as our server. There was no rush, she was just 100% a vibe the whole night.

  • 5/5 christina u. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place. The service was absolutely amazing. Alex was our server and was very knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. The manager ​also checked in on us as well which was nice to see how he cared for the customers. No long wait between courses which was great. Recommend reservations to make sure to get seated quickly. Worked amazing for us as we got there a few minutes early and got sat very quickly. Highly recommend for celebrations or special date night!

  • 5/5 Rachel B. 2 years ago on Google
    We were here last night for my mother's birthday, 6 of us. Our waitresses name was Valentina. She was absolutely AMAZING and they should be proud to have her. This was our first visit and she explained everything perfectly. She is great at her job and you know she enjoys it. The food was great, the atmosphere was great but Valentina made the whole experience. Her smile lights the place up. We will be back!
