My friend and I went to The MeltingPot the other night. I had heard good things about it, then heard an ad for it on Matty in The Morning during my commute to work. I felt that it was a sign to make a reservation and couldn't stop thinking about fondue all day!! We arrived early, and sat at a high top table in the bar area. Very hip. I spotted a drink called the Strawberry Basil Lemonade- I was intrigued and ordered it. My friend had some type of margarita made with blackberries- both drinks were fabulous. We were seated soon after sipping our drinks. We walked through a maze of cozy booths, I was shocked at how big this place really was!! It looked empty from the waiting area, but I think almost every table was filled in the back. We had a nice spot to camp out for the next couple of hours. We had already decided that we would splurge and order The Big Night Out, and I'm so glad we did! We were brought our cheese selection (a delicious mixture of several cheeses with garlic and basil I think). Wow! Our waitress came back to check in (she was awesome) and we ordered our next item which was a salad. Even the salad was a mixture of flavors I wouldn't think to put together. Onto the main course!! She brought out shrimp, lobster, filet, chicken, veggies- I was so glad I didn't eat all day knowing I was coming here. All of this food- yummy!! We had selected some type of Caribbean cooking sauce which was awesome. I just kept patting myself on the back for making the call to finally come here- I don't know why or how I waited so long to try this place out. Of course chocolate was our finale!! What a great way to end a meal. Fruit and cakes dipped in chocolate, who invented this? Fantastic. If I didn't think anyone would see me I would have licked the plate clean- I didn't but I could of!! I can't wait to go back again, whose coming?!?!?
Pros: Food, Drinks, Experience
Cons: Finishing :(

"Another fabulous and delicious time at the MeltingPot last night!
As a stay at home mom with a hectic life style, I find the casual and relaxed dining experience at the MeltingPot perfect for me and my friends. I had been looking forward to this night out for several weeks, and the waiting paid off.
I always find the decor in the MeltingPot fascinating and very hip! My friends and I had a great table (though I don't think there is a bad one in the entire place). Bring on the cheese! I think the toughest part is deciding what to order- so far every item we have had is to die for. Our server was wonderful and very attentive. The selection of fun ""girly"" drinks is fabulous, I always try something new. Last night I tried the lobster, beef and chicken with a scrumptious garlicky dipping sauce. The chocolate was a slice of heaven as our finishing course. The only bad thing I have to say is that it ended! I am already planning our next fondue night out!
Pros: Food, Service, Decor
Cons: Couldn't find any

In the words of the manager, This restaurant isn't for everyone. If it wasn't for bad service, this restaurant wouldn't have service at all. Just ask for a napkin or a glass of water and you can be sure to get a dirty look. You need a PhD to understand the rules of this restaurant. BYOP. Bring your own plate or be prepared to pay 10 dollars to share. This is not a restaurant for you if you get squeamish about raw meat. Better service at McDonalds. I read other reviews saying there were issues with service and didn't necessarily believe them, but now I do.

My friends and I were having a bad week at work so we decided to treat ourselves to a fun dinner. What is more fun than fondue and martini?s? TMP offers both of course. I had my usual Appletini, but some of the other girls decided to try some of the other ones on their cocktail list. They all tasted really good especially the Ying Yang, sort of like a milk shake, yummmm! We had a great time and it really took our minds off of work and all the other stuff we are putting up with right now. Hopefully, next time we go it will be for a better reason and the food and drinks will be even more fun!

I went to the Bedford MP for a fun girl?s night out last week. Not knowing what to expect I was a little skeptical about fondue, only because I hadn?t experienced it before. However, I was really happy with the outcome. The cheese was amazing and the chocolate is to die for, the best part of the meal! We had a great time and would definitely go back again. The only thing I would change next time is that I would make an appointment to see the psychic that they have on Monday nights for Girl?s Night Out!

So it was my birthday and we booked a table for 2 for 4.30. They told us that we will need to empty the table by 6.30 so please come by 4.15, which we did. We reached at 4.15 and they told us that our reservation was at 4.30 and that is when they will seat us. So why did they tell us to come early???
We were seated and saw the menu that said fixed Mother's Day menu. We had no idea, the lady on the phone (whom we spoke to several times) never mentioned once that it was a fixed menu. We told our server this and asked if they can make an exception because we were unaware of this, and she said she will ask the manager. This person comes by (who apparently was the manager) and said she cannot make an exception because she wouldn't know how to ring us, if we only wanted to eat 2 cheese fondues (what we always order here). We requested several times and also said that the reason we came here is to celebrate my birthday and we weren't told about the fixed menu. Same experience as the pe

Same experience as the person who wrote another review -- She didn't even bother to wish me!
She said she will have to take up this issue with the girl (who booked our table but failed to make us aware of the fixed menu) but there is nothing she can do for us. One apology, no wishes, no coupons for next time - NOTHING! Inspite of us saying that we were thoroughly dissapointed and they are potentialy losing a regular customer.
And this isn't the first time we have had this horrid experience at the Burlington location. Once we ordered Chocolate Fondue in which the waiter said that she will charge for extra dippings -- they never used to charge for extra dippings before so who made this rule????? Then we told her about this and said she might be able to throw in few extra pieces of one of the dippings (like she is feeding a stray cat) -- HOW CHEAP!!
OVERALL THE SERVICE HERE IS HORRIBLE AND RUDE AND FOR THE $$$$ THEY CHARGE THIS IS NOT GOOD SERVICE AT ALL.

On August 23, 2007, I had my wedding rehearsal at the this restaurant. We made the reservations about 1 and a half months in advance for the function room right off the main entrance. During the month before the wedding rehearsal date we had meetings, emails and phone calls with manager Brian to go over menus and exactly what we wanted on the day of. He was very professional and took into consideration all we asked for.
Our reservations were for 7:30pm, we all arrived a little early, but our room was ready for us when we got there. The room was completely set up and had a great feeling to it as soon as we walked in, with the fireplace going and candles lit. We had about 32 people, including 3 kids under 4. We had 3 servers( I forget their names), who were absolutely wonderful. Everything we asked for was done right away and they were very social with our group and made our evening that much better.
We had champagne and wine on our tables for everyone. We also had a full course dinner with cheese fondue, salad, entree and dessert. Each and every item we had was delicious and filling, no one left hungry.
The bartender also made wonderful specialty drinks that everyone was impressed with. Brian and his wife checked in on us regularly to see how everything was going. We were there until about 11:30pm and they close at 10pm, but were very nice about us staying later and told us to enjoy ourselves and not to worry about time.
I highly recommend this restaurant for large groups and for a romantic dinner for two. My husband and I had dinner here when it first opened and thats what made us decide on having our rehearsal dinner here as well.
This is now the place my husband and I will go for our special events.
Pros: great service, wonderful for parties, amazing food
