Went here for Father's Day. Just keep in mind, if you do the four-course dinner, it can take some time (~2 hours).

We have eaten here so many times and there is always an issue. This time, it was 100% different. The main positive highlight - the young lady who waited on us- Audrey. Only two months working at the restaurant and she treated us like she had been there for a long time. Made our night! Many people in the food service business should take some pointers from her ;).

We had a wonderful mother day dining experience with our waitress (I’m sorry I don’t remember her name). The food came in a timely manner and we even ordered an extra fondue (that’s my fave) and it still didn’t interrupt the rest of the meal with the meats/veggies then chocolates to follow. We love coming here to celebrate! Thanks Melting Pot -Raleigh!
