The Melting Pot - Bellevue

Came here with some friends to try it as we have never gone before and probably won't go back. We 2 fondues and and meat platter. Each fondue you get a tray of bread, fruit, and vegetables. The bread is stale and average nothing special and the rest as you expect. The cheese was the same, didn't taste anything more special than what you could get at the local grocery store. We also ordered the meat plate with beef, salmon, shrimp and chicken. That was good but for what the price you pay it wasn't really worth it. Overall I wouldn't recommend it and you could probably find better food somewhere else. If you really want fondue make it at home. Vegetarian options: Fondue is vegetarian Parking: Can park on the street near the restaurant but peak hours might be hard

What a wonderful treat. We unfortunately didn't make reservations, which I highly recommend. But, we arrived fortunately at Happy Hour, which is amazing!!!. I had to show our bill of $58.00 for a 4 course meal is fabulous! Plus we wach had 2 drinks. The bar staff was so friendly and helpful. The food was scrumptious . We started with their Orchard Salad with mixed greens, raisins, apples, candied pecans, cheese, and apple ranch dressing. Then, the charcuterie board of a variety of meats and bread. We also added a cheese fondue Classic Alpine with mixed veggies and bread to snack on. Absolutely delicious. Finally, the piece of resistance dessert, oh my goodness.... Chocolate fondue with a tray of yummy delicious items to dip into. We devoured it! Nothing was left. Again, I highly recommend going there at Happy Hour in the bar take advantage of the fantastic discount and enjoy the delicious food. We will definitely be back. We had so much fun! Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free bread to substitute with, and it is very tasty.

HOT OIL WARNING! I'm not a person who writes reviews but after telling other people what happened I feel I need to warn others to not eat here or at least not to order the hot oil to cook meat. We went on February 2nd, at 6:30 for our 21st anniversary and reserved it 2 weeks prior. The server told us she was new and to be patient with her. We were seated at the smallest table in the restaurant and were struggling for space the entire time even though there were plenty of larger tables. It took a long time for our first drinks and our server said the bar is really slow. She forgot to put in our second drinks and we'd had to ask for them again which took a really long time with the slow bar. One of our salads, a ceasar, had absolutely no dressing so we shared the other one. The server offered us another one but we decided to move onto the entrée. It took about 45 minutes of checking the oil to get it up to temperature and for the meat to arrive. The oil never seemed to get up to 325° but it was smoking and the pot was making cracking noises which I filmed. I tried a piece of mushroom and the oil BUBBLED AND SPAT LIKE A VOLCANO 1 foot away from our faces. The server left the thermometer at our table and we realized that she was measuring in Celsius and the oil was actually 438° Fahrenheit. She asked someone from the kitchen to come help and they turned the oil down. We waited twenty minutes for it to cool and it was still at 400° so we turned it completely off. We told the server what happened and she said they never trained her properly with it. We were so horrified that we asked for the manager and were informed that he didn't want to talk to us but eventually came over. He told us it's not their fault because only 2 people per week order the hot oil and they don't know how to use it. We finally got to cooking our mian course after being there for over 2 and a half hours and controlling the temperature ourselves with the thermometer. I was exhausted so we cooked most of it to go and asked for our dessert to go. By the time we got our dessert and paid it had been nearly 3 hours. I then used the bathroom before we left and it was disgusting. The kitchen staff told me they felt sorry for us because we were there for so long. We talked to the manager on our way out. He was incredibly rude, blaming us for our experience and told us 3 hours is a very average amount of time to spend at the restaurant. He said he has absolutely no authority to take any amount of money off of the bill, which was almost $300, and he wants to quit his job because the owner doesn't fix anything within the restaurant. The manager had his business card hidden and told us there's no way to get ahold of the owner. He even showed us his phone with emails to the owner that were not returned. Lastly when we opened our dessert the next day it was the wrong one. Definitely the worst and scariest experience we've ever had in a restaurant!

We had Sammy as a server and she made the experience over the top with her attentiveness and awesome suggestions! MP is the best for special occasions!

The price is kind of outrageous, but it is a fun experience! I couldn't imagine coming more than once a year, but it is definitely worth a stop!

My fiance’ and I went to the Melting Pot for his leap year 32nd/8th birthday (Feb 29th) and there was initially an issue with our reservation confirmation. To correct it, the general manager, Brandon, stepped in to serve us. He was AMAZING. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and patient. It was the best dining experience either of us have had in years. He even gave us an extra plate of chocolate covered strawberries that were delicious. Thank you Brandon & Melting Pot for the wonderful birthday.

Came with my best friend as a late Galentine’s celebration. Our food was DELICIOUS! Our server Sammy was absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive and friendly. Will absolutely be back!

Food was great and the waitress was helpful. They added a $5 service charge to the bill to "keep the menu prices the same". We also had a reservation and didn't get sat until 15 minutes later.

I actually have a double-feeling in regards to this place. When I am received by the girls, I would say that, out of a 5, I would give them 7 (yeah, above the maximum). Yet, last time I went there, and the guys insisted I couldn't be served by the server I wanted, and she wanted to serve me... worse than that, I am sure the guy was ready to attack me. To that guy, I hope he gets arrested or fired and I hope I don't have to see him ever again.
