My husband and I go here every year that we stay in town for anniversary, it never disappoints! We love the atmosphere and experience. We’ve had to bring our little kids with us as well , and they enjoy themselves too. Cheese and dessert are always a can’t miss but sometimes the entree can be bland depending on what you get. I always ask for Cajun shrimp, salmon or chicken or else it will be bland. Salad is definitely a filler but nothing special. I would recommend going even it’s just for the experience but do remember it’s not a quick bite type of restaurant.
We had a great time at Melt Pot! The dessert was delicious — rich and satisfying. To top it off, they surprised us with a free drink at the end, which made the experience even more special. Definitely a nice touch!
We always enjoy going here. This is a place we go for to celebrate very special occasions. This time, they went above and beyond. At our table was a happy anniversary card and to cap off a lovely night, champagne was brought out with our dessert. The servers are always super friendly and the management goes above and beyond. Perfect drinks and overall experience. Highly recommend the Bee’s tea! This Melting Pot is worth the 40 minute drive from South Austin!
Food was great. Our server this time was a tad slow. Took way too long for the visit. We spent our first wedding anniversary there. Had the romance package lol It's a little pricey but fun for a special occasion and to mix it up. We may take the kids there just for dessert.
They made my birthday extra special, we really appreciated the staff and the whole experience!
Fun unique experience for a date night we really enjoyed it. Each food item we tried was delicious. Favorite person as the salmon and the steak. Our waiter was nice and checked in the perfect amount of times and wasn't hovering at all. We were truly able to enjoy our meal and take our time. We did the 4 courses and were there a little over 2 hours.
My wife and I had a memorable dinner at The Melting Pot last night that's worth bragging about. To show how impressed we were, and help you plan your own special time, I'm spreading the word about the amount of effort they put into making our visit meaningful. Because they deserve your business, and you'll come out looking like the hero. The atmosphere and food are always great, that's just a given ...who doesn't like bite size pieces of food covered with hot melted cheese or dipped in warm chocolate?... but here's a little surprise I stumbled onto: When making the reservation, I indicated the occasion was our anniversary and requested a secluded booth. What I didn't know is they have a plan in place for special events. The staff treated us like royalty throughout our visit. We had a handwritten anniversary card and chocolate-covered pretzels waiting in our cozy, private booth in the back corner. When it was time for dessert, they brought us a plate with "happy anniversary!" elegantly written in chocolate and a bite of cake with a lit candle. Then I believe it was the manager who stopped by our table to congratulate us and hand out complimentary drinks. I liked that she had taken the time to see we hadn't ordered alcohol and brought non-alcoholic spritzers instead. I strongly recommend anyone who is looking for something cozy and different give it a try, even as a regular meal. Ask for Kirah to be your server. She's attentative and fun.
Enjoyed family time. Their Ying Yang Martini was absolutely delicious.. a must for every visit. Their vegetarian options was not bad
