The Melting Pot

Made reservations ahead of time annotating gluten-free requirements. On seating, discussed with waiter and ordered gluten-free menu offerings and substitutes. First course cheese fondu was served with wheat bread; sent back for gluten-free bread. Main course fondu was brought with teriyaki sauce (identified by waiter to have gluten) served in same sauce bowl caddy immediately adjacent to / side-by-side with gluten-free sauces (high concern for cross contamination). For the dessert fondu, low level of trust that brownies were gluten-free. This experience was the exact opposite of dining event in January (which was outstanding).

Excellent experience! As long as your party agrees to choose from the gluten free options (GF clearly marked on menu and there are a lot of options), then your meal will be very safe and delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable on how to prepare our food. The candied nuts in my Caesar salad were delicious, the Memphis style dry rub pork was our favorite meat, and they provided specialty gluten free items (Gf cookie) to dip in the chocolate fondue. Great dinner!

Very clearly marked menu, I never had to remind our server to make anything GF once it was mentioned once he had it. Only thing to be mindful of for celiac is if anyone you're eating with doesn't have all GF meats have them cook those last. Otherwise this was a simple and very enjoyable experience!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love coming here! They bring out fully gf dippers. Most of the cheeses, broths, and chocolates are gf already but a few aren’t. The menu is clearly labeled and servers are very good about it.

I had a wonderful evening while on a business trip. The experience was amazing and the food was not only great, but fun. My server was very knowledgeable about gluten intolerance and helped me through the menu and ordering. All 4 courses were amazing and I will eat here again.

Amazing experience! Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the specific items I could have and not have. Very accommodating, I got my own fondue pot and tray of foods that were all gluten friendly. The brownie with the chocolate fondue was amazing!

We had an amazing Mother’s Day dinner at Melting Pot. They now have gluten free bread for the cheese course. They had gf cookies and brownies to dip in the chocolate fondue. Our waitress was well versed in cross contamination. They were willing to adjust for other food intolerances and likes. There was a sticker on the front door announcing that it was a validated gluten free safe spot. We felt safe and normal eating there.

Staff was super knowledgeable about celiac, gf options clearly marked. I’m super sensitive and had no reaction. All the food was great!
