OMG this place has my heart. It was one of the highlights during my visit to Portland for the first time. Parking was super easy to find as I went on a weekday evening, and the place is in a quiet location downstairs of downtown Portland. I was waited on by Kim and she made my experience very pleasant and worthy of coming back for more. I was by myself but she was kind enough to accommodate me with the four-course experience (for one) that is normally created for two people. This included an appetizer cheese fondue, followed by a hearty salad, then a main entree with so many options and signature sauces, ending lastly with a dessert fondue. Everything was amazing and I'm so glad that I saved my appetite all day until I arrived here. I surely was stuffed by the time I left, and was feeling pretty satisfied that I got to try so many different tastes all in one sitting. For the first course, I was provided three different types of bread, green apple, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. The green apple was surprisingly tasty and one of my favorite items to use with the loaded baked potato (minus the bacon) cheese fondue. The salad was also one of my favorite things on the menu. It was made perfectly with peppercorn ranch, croutons, arugula, scallions, and shredded cheddar cheese. All of my favorite ingredients in a salad! I am vegetarian and sensitive to mushrooms but Kim kindly accommodated my dietary needs and substituted more potatoes for the mushrooms in my entree course. I was very happy with that. The impossible polpettes were also very tasty with the mojo broth that I chose from the four options provided. At this time, I was starting to hit a wall but kept a little room for dessert. The dessert course was very special to me. I chose the pure milk chocolate fondue and it came with so many variety of goodies to dip with. Out of the ten items provided, my favorites were the shortcake, strawberries, and bananas. I'm sure everything else was fantastic, but unfortunately I had no more room to try them. The mai tai that I ordered was also delicious and came in a cute tiki cup with umbrellas. I'm so glad that I chose to come here for dinner during my visit to Portland. Not only do the friendly staff keep checking on you every five minutes to make sure you're well accommodated, but they also make sure to time it perfectly with how fast you finish each course. This was one of my favorite things. I highly recommend for special occassions, or even if you're just like me touring a new city for the first time. This place is amazing, and I feel like the overall experience is underpriced considering how lovely everything turned out to be. Would definitely return here if I visited Portland again!

The Melting Pot is such a treat! Our server was Darius and he was wonderfully attentive without being overly so, Madison checked in on us as well. Both staff members were kind and friendly. We throughly enjoyed our entire dining experience. The booths are comfortable, the food delicious and fun, and the atmosphere inviting.

The wife and I had a really good experience here celebrating Valentine's Day. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. The only minor negative was the booth was very tiny. Nico, our server, was excellent with a nice blend of friendliness and professionalism to make the dinner a fantastic experience. We'd heard the restaurant had been in decline, but I think it is worth another look based on our experience. The extra touches for Valentine's Day were also well executed. The last tip - come hungry as you get a lot of food!

I was impressed with everything at the Melting Pot, where we ate on Boxing Day 2023. Our local friend wanted to go, so we booked a reservation well in advance, probably a good thing as it was popping off! The service throughout was stellar, very friendly and helpful. I believe Chase was our server for the table, and he was wonderful. With my bariatric stomach, I had some concerns about the ordering process, but all went smoothly. We were not forced to order per numbers of people at the table, but in terms of portions, and by doing so, we managed to eat pretty much everything! We had something from each section, except salads. I don't know who wants a salad at a fondue place? We had plenty of vegetables and fruits, overall. Four of us ordered the Classic Cheese fondue, though the Sprossling wanted the spinach artichoke (next time, bud). We also ordered The Pacific Rim, the Classic, and the Garden. Finally, we finished with the Pure Chocolate Fondue in milk chocolate. They were superb at managing our gluten free needs for our guest, and are gluten free certified. My one 'issue' was the Pickle Martini, and it was not great. Not the fault of anyone! Just a little too 'salad dressing' and not enough umami for my taste. I think I thought there would be olives or some brine, like in a dirty martini, and as such, it was not for me. Sprossling managed a peanut butter and chocolate milkshake on top of everything else, oh to be 23 again. They had a coat check, and parking was fairly close by (though that was its own adventure). There is an elevator that arrives within the mall basement floor for any ADA needs.
