Read More On Citysearch tthompson9381 3/7/2010 - Romantic and funI recently dined at the Melting P*t with my girlfriend, it was our anniversary and I wanted to make the night really special for her. They definately made that happen, I ordered flowers for the table and they were awesome, they even put a card out for us. Our server Carolyn was great she was friendly and knew a lot about the menu. Kudos to the managers and staff for making a special night even...
Read More On Citysearch PittSteel4Life 9/25/2009 - WowRecently dined with a group of friends, it was partners bday so we decided to do something different. The Melting P*t staff did a great job of making us feel welcome and the food was amazing.
It was a refreshing change of pace from your typical establsihment in our fine city.

We love the food. it is a nice treat once in a while...it is a little pricy but it is a nice place to go once in a while!

Read More On Citysearch Bryan85 3/12/2009 - Wonderful evening out!We just recently dined at The Pittsburgh MeltingPot to celebrate our anniversary around the Valentine's Holiday. I must say that the staff did a great job and provided outstanding service. It was our first time as it had been somewhere my wife had been wanting to dine for a while. They had roses on the table and arranged for a relatively private table. It was truly a different dining experien...
Read More On Citysearch js91016 2/21/2009 - Never again!Let me tell you that is was not a good dining experience. The service was not too bad but other than that pretty terrible. First off it was on V-day and unaware to me was the fact that you have vertually no choice in menu selection. It was $69.00 a person for an appetizer (scallops - boyfriend doesn't like seafood and they were terrible), a cheese fondue (out of all the awesome ones listed on t...

Even though it was a Saturday night, we did not have to wait long for our table and it was packed! Highly recommend reservations. We enjoyed doing something 'different' by cooking tabletop. It was a little pricey but worth it.

Came in with some friend from out of town and the staff went out of thier way to make it a great evening for us all. It's a unique place to dine and a terrific spot to catch up. Food is great and I always order the Big Night out with all four courses. Highly recommend the Spinach and Artichoke cheese fondue. If you a...
Read More On Citysearch stevo7 12/22/2008 - Not worth half what we paid! Very disappointed.We went to The Melting Po* based on the reviews on this site. We had great expectations so we brought 7 people, 2 being kids. $275 later I am not impressed. The prices are outrageous. I'm not saying that the food is bad, or even just ok. It was decent. The fondue was fantastic. The salad was modern and different tasting. The entrees overall were great with the exception of the surf n turf ...
Read More On Citysearch trinityjcm 12/21/2008 - worst experienced, bad service, owner looks and acts like a childI never will go back after my last experience, the owner was stocking wine in the main lobby in front of the host stand so when we walked in it seemed like we were there off hours, nobody said hi to us, and our server did not explain what we were doing and she gave us cook times for our food that were different from the 2 other servers at other tables. this is a classless experience, especially f...
Read More On Citysearch MRobinson2377 12/11/2008 - Perfect for a special occasionMy boyfriend just took me here for our anniversary and it was absolutely wonderful. When he called in for the reservation they asked if it was a special occasion and he told them that it was. We were seated in a quiet back booth that was very private and hidden behind a wall and there was a beautiful white rose waiting on the table. Our waitress and the entire staff was very friendly and came bac...
Read More On Citysearch Jennabee0012 9/3/2008 - A "Fun" Place to EatThis is a great place to take a date or spouse. The atmosphere is casual and "playing with your food" makes conversations more fun and relaxed. We got the four-course meal, which is a little pricey (the bill came to over $100 for 2 people), but we will still go back again. If you plan to go in the summer, bring a sweater because they have the air conditioner on high and I was freezing the whol...
Read More On Citysearch newtopitt 12/7/2007 - Definately DifferentI wasn't sure what to expect when my wife wanted me to take her out for fondue for her birthday. I was really suprised by the experience and amount of food we had with the Big Night Out dinner for two. Alot of fun, the presentation of the food was great, and they had a ton of wines to pick from. She loves the Conundrum which they serve for much less than any other place I've seen in town. Sta...
Read More On Citysearch jsmithpit1626 9/6/2007 - Too much grease
I understand that the concept of fondue is to dip your food in hot oil, so my comments are not necessarily about the restaurant itself. The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It was a great place to catch up with old friends we hadn't seen in awhile, however, none of us felt that good the next day. Perhaps it was from eating the oil-soaked food or perhaps it was the food itself - wh...
Read More On Citysearch rlp24 11/22/2006 - Wonderful restaurant, great food, nice ambienceWhat a wonderful restaurant. The food is top-notch and the fondue is very fitting especially on a cold Winter night. The ambience is great - romantic or fun with friends. The desserts are amazing. It is a restaurant where you should plan to spend several hours conversing and enjoying the food. I cannot say enough good about this restaurant.
Read More On Citysearch anntodd 11/19/2006 - loved, loved, loved the fonduethe cheese fondue appetizer was so delicious and the chocolate fondue desserts were wonderful! not a huge fan of cooking my own food, but was an entertaining night out. great service and fabulous atmosphere.
Read More On Citysearch jvra 11/17/2006 - Fun!I really enjoy this restaurant. I have been here three times so far and plan to go back. Every time I have gone I have gotten the big night out and it was well worth it. However, I do have to warn that not all of my friends feel the same way about this restaurant. I recently picked this as the place to go for my birthday and got mixed reviews. I think the cooking process was too long for them. Th...
Read More On Citysearch misslauren27 11/14/2006 - Great Service, Great food, Perfect Date spotThe food here is excellent. You must get the big night out, this way you can try all of what the restaurant has to offer. Expect to cook your own food! Don't worry, it's fun!! Also expect to spend a few hours here!! Do not, I repeat DO NOT get the oil to cook your food in, if you want fried food go to KFC. I've tried all the cooking styles and the best is the one with the wine in it. Definitely ...
Read More On Citysearch steelersfan426 10/16/2006 - One of my favoritesThis is a great restaurants to go out with the girls, or on a date.
Nick- the bartender- really knows his wine, so ask for his recomendation!!
The food is unique, and I always leave stuffed. I reccomend the "Dinner for 2" for 3 people- they give you plenty! I also recomend getting the vegetable broth instead of oil for your fondue- it helps to flavor the food and its not as heavy.
If y...

The wine list is great, and its sooo romantic for dessert. The food was disappointing and if I wanted to cook, I would do so at home.
Read More On Citysearch katphil75 9/18/2006 - Best birthday dinner ever!I celebrated my birthday this past weekend dining here with my husband and another couple. We were seated promptly and when we got to the table there were balloons and a bar of chocolate waiting on the table!!! We all went for the "big night out" which is all four courses. Cheese was very flavorful and we never ran out of food to dip into it!! When it came for our entree course I was overwhelmed...
Read More On Citysearch adk412 8/27/2006 - The BEST romantic restaurantTonight my husband and I FINALLY got to experience this AMAZING restaurant in Station Square. It's not often that we get to share a "night out" away from the kids!! We recommend making reservations in advance because the restaurant is very busy!! It took us a week to get reservations!! We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation, but we didn't mind because it gave us a chance to sit at...
Read More On Citysearch leneaj412 8/27/2006 - I'll stop the world and melt for you!I am truly impressed with this restaurant. I've been there several times, its always busy and the wine pricing and selection are great. On my last visit Colin, my server, recognized me as a former patron. I always enjoy my experience at the restaurant but this time they truly went above and beyond. The owner stopped by and talked to us about wine and recommended a great bottle from thier list tha...
Read More On Citysearch golfer1225 8/26/2006 - Finally something different!I dine out frequently and for my birthday my boyfriend made reservations here. It was a truly memorable experience. He arranged to have a private table that was so romantic I was startled to see a flower arrangement and wine waiting for me when we were taken back. We had all four courses with the Big Nite Out. The meal was delicious and niether of us could believe how full we were. As a wine ...
Read More On Citysearch cmg1225 5/22/2006 - Make a night out of it!We loved the Melting Pot the first time we went there and have been going back ever since. The one thing you need to remember is you are going to make a night out of it. We loved the fact that you get to enjoy a drink at the bar while waiting for your table and dinner takes a while. It gives you the chance to really spend time with your significant other or your guests. We always get the "Bi...
Read More On Citysearch keisel 2/10/2006 - Our first and last time.The "Big Night Out" describes more of the price than the amount food you receive. The 'cheese' course started with bread cubes, apples and very small amount of vegs. which were refillable if the waiter was around to refill it. He was back in time to bring the salads. House dressing was good. The entree was definately not comparable to the price. Entree consisted of a few beef cubes, chicken cu...
Read More On Citysearch pittsburgh01 1/16/2006 - Great food, awful tableWe really enjoyed this place. The food is amazing, especially the desert. We had the "big night out" which includes a cheese fondue course, salad, your main course and desert. For desert we had the S'mores melted chocolate. Absolutely divine. Our only gripes were that we had a 10:00pm reservation and were not seated until 10:25. When we were seated we lucked out with the table in the broom c...
