“ The Melting Pot is located in the lower level of the Colorado State Government Building in downtown. The restaurant is accessible by elevator, with clear signage indicating so. We arrived just three minutes early and received a notification that our table was ready. As we descended the stairs, we were warmly greeted at the front desk. The check-in process was efficient—less than two minutes—and the staff was friendly and easy to engage with. They confirmed our date night package, and we were promptly escorted to our table. The atmosphere was intimate and romantic, perfect for a date night. We were seated in a private booth, and our server, Alex, immediately made us feel welcome. She brought an element of charm to the evening, guiding us through The Melting Pot experience with grace and enthusiasm. Her explanations were clear and engaging, making it easy to understand the menu and flow of the meal. Alex made thoughtful drink recommendations that paired perfectly with our meal. After discussing my allergy requirements, she provided suitable substitutions and ensured everything was handled safely. Despite serving other tables, she made us feel like her top priority, delivering attentive service throughout the night. Alex was a standout—her service alone would bring us back. The food was excellent. We followed the recommended cooking times provided by the restaurant's app, which enhanced the experience. We enjoyed a three-course meal, and if you have the option, the seafood selections are a must-try. For dessert, we received a beautifully presented white chocolate “date night” plate, complete with dipping items and a complimentary glass of champagne an elegant touch. Our dining experience lasted nearly two hours, and every moment was enjoyable. It was fun experimenting with different sauces and combinations, and the vegetables in the cooking stock were delicious. Alex ensured each course was perfectly timed and that we had everything we needed. We did choose to upgrade our package when making the reservation, and it was absolutely worth it. We’ll definitely be returning. ”
“ Went here with my best friend for a going away celebration. The food, atmosphere, and service was excellent and made for a truly memorable evening. Highly recommend this place and our server Julia helped to make the evening spectacular! ”
“ We went around lunch time, not busy at all. We only ordered dessert, as we don’t like cheese or the entree offerings. This was our first time visiting The Melting Pot in over 7 years, I was surprised that they offer gluten free items—this was a good surprised. I appreciated the care and attention to make sure everything was gluten free. ”
“ Had a great date night. Best service ever. Josh P was absolutely amazing. With not ever being there before he was very informative about the menu and the process of fondue. The private room was so romantic. ”
“ Hands down one of the best dinner experiences I've ever had! Service was absolutely impeccable! Josh was attentive and informative without being overbearing! Food was fantastic! They made celebrating a special birthday memorable and absolutely wonderful! It was our first time at Melting Pot and 100% exceeded my expectations! The salmon was my personal favorite but everything was amazing! Atmosphere was quiet and personal. Lighting was dim, music was soft and the vibe was perfect for a memorable dinner. Drinks were fantastic! And always arrived quickly after ordering! ”
“ We came for a date night and had an excellent time! I loved the amount of non-alcoholic drinks there were and the apple cider was fantastic. Everything was absolutely delicious and our server, Hannah, did an excellent job every step of the way! It was our first time here and she did great at explaining the way things work, the cook times, and was super attentive. We got the Quattro Formaggio for cheese and it was sooo good with apples and bread. The peppercorn ranch on the salad was fantastic. My favorite protein was the garlic pepper beef and the Cajun shrimp was so good! Lastly we got the s’mores dessert fondue and everything was good, and Hannah brought a cute “date night” plate with white chocolate writing with cute colored sprinkles! We look forward to coming back soon! ”
“ We had an excellent meal and time at the melting pot. Ron, our server, took great care of us. This was our first time in, and he explained the meal perfectly. It was our 20th anniversary and he made a special plate just for that. So sweet. I would highly recommend this place for a special treat. ”
“ Brooke was incredible. I've been here so many times before but they were attentive, kind, and fun to talk to. They really made us feel welcomed and even personalized the experience. So happy we got Brooke for our date night! They deserve all the accolades! ”
