We were super excited for date night here without the kiddos and we were super impressed to see all the gluten free and dairy free options. Our server was educated and did all she could for us HOWEVER, something labeled GF isn’t. My boyfriend puked in the bathroom before we left after we got through our entree. We’re assuming the gluten has something to do with an entree. Thankfully it was our last day on vacation so he was only miserable the last night. The manager did come out and talk to us to see what we thought it was so they could fix it for future and gave us 50% off our meal and offered to send us home with the dessert portion. Just be very cautious when eating here.

Tons of GF options marked on the menu and staff is very accommodating. Food is served in course style (Cheese fondue, Salad, Entree, Chocolate fondue). With that in mind your meal is shared with another person so they will have to also eat GF or spoon out fondue onto their plate if they have gluten items. A little pricey as well but worth it for a special occasion. Restaurant is underground to which is also really cool.

We had a great experience! Called ahead to ask if they could handle celiac, they were very confident when answering yes and went to notify the kitchen we were coming in. When we got there they were expecting us and our waitress already knew we to be gluten free. Food was excellent and we will definitely go back!

I ate the cheese and chocolate courses. For the Wisconsin cheese, the server switched out regular beer for GF beer. I shared a pot with my family that was using regular bread (because it isn’t that important for me). However, the server gave me my own plate with GF bread for dipping. For the chocolate, the server gave me a separate plate with GF brownies, GF marshmallows, GF pound cake, and berries. It was fantastic!

Food was good but I got glutened. Was very disappointed that it was so expensive and I got sick, especially since I placed my order with the manager. Would have thought that would have decreased my chance of any issues.

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.
