    Excellent meal. I love the service. We did not have one waiter, we had 3, as they all help each other and each table. Food was excellent and timely served. Historic building with modern amenities and a cozy feel. Lots of seating available.

    First time at the melting pot, didnt know what to expect. Our waiter was super nice, attentive and helpful with explaining how it worked. The lighting was dim and relaxing, it was not loud in there. It was a wonderful first experience, would definitely go back.
