The Melting Pot - Gaithersburg

We love the melting pot but this time we were not impressed! The cheese was made way too runny (too much liquid) had to get up and look around for the waitress to be able to get more cheese to make it of the normal consistency. Took over 20 minutes to get her to come back and make it better. We asked for more dippers and that also took a while. The salads came out and took a while to get the bouillon to get our meals going. After that the experience was much better but the experience didn't start as always. I also noticed that the cheese was made very differently than normally.

Always delicious and excellent service. We noticed the Arlington Metling Pot had a hot honey alpine cheese fondue option, but it was not on the Gaithersburg, MD site menu. As a result, we called the restaurant to see if it was available. We were pleasantly surprised when the restaurant said all they needed was the prosciutto; they would have someone pick some up and they be happy to make it for us.

The Melting Pot is a special occasion or date night venue. The cost is what I would expect because fondue isn't common around my area. The food was terrific as always and our server, Grayson, was fantastic. There was never a question he couldn't answer and he went out of his way to accommodate my 7 year old daughter wanting to sample the beverage options before deciding on something. My family loves this restaurant. The charcuterie board is the perfect add-on for when you run out of bread/vegetables during the early cheese fondue course, because you can always dip the meats in a pinch. The check came with a single flower for Mother's Day, which made my daughter even happier than my wife. It was another great experience had by all.

The waiter initially was very helpful and very attentive, after he came to the table the third time he started to disappear for longer and longer periods to the point where we ended up waiting for a long period of time just to get additional dippers or even our check.

This place was absolutely amazing! My husband and I went for our Anniversary dinner. If you want an experience for a different type of outing this is it. My husband is really picky and he actually was a little weirded out at first but winded up loving it. This is my 2nd time at a melting pot and each has been A1
