The Melting Pot has been my favorite restaurant for the last three decades, and I've been to this location about a dozen times.
It's the best, in my opinion.
My twins wanted their 16th birthday dinner here, and it did not disappoint, per usual.
If you let them know you are celebrating something special, they'll write on a plate and gift you a chocolate covered strawberry with it. Our server, Jay, was personable and attentive (my boys really raved about his awesomeness for the rest of the evening), the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was great! The complete dinner for two is a fantastic deal compared to a la carte.
Highly recommend the California salad, fiesta cheese, and would only ever choose the mojo cooking broth for entrees.
The four courses are perfectly filling.
You will definitely leave satisfied and knowing you had a whole "experience" along with your meal. They only have dinner hours, and they'll accommodate up to 15 minutes post-reservation tardiness.
It will take a solid 2 hours for four courses, so make sure you truly enjoy the company you take.
Lol

Thank you for celebrating your twins with us, and for letting us know about your fondue experience.
We are so happy to hear that it was a 5 star one.
Please come back soon!

This was my first time experiencing something like this and I loved it. Good to go with family or a group of 4-6 people.
Wish we had something like this in Toronto.
Overall good spot to anyone.
Who’s into fondue. Cheese options or chocolate dessert options

Thank you for giving us a try Chris! Hope to see you in San Diego again soon.

We've been to different Melting Pot's across the country and I have to say hands down this is by far the best Melting Pot!!! Let me explain.
Every single time we've been to this Melting Pot from the time we walk in until the time we walk out it's an experience! Not just a place to eat a meal! Besides the food being great, which it is delicious, the staff really work hard to make sure we are having the best experience we possibly can.
By asking questions like (do you have any time constraints) to (what flavors your pallet likes) they craft the best meal/experience per individual, table, person! Thank you so much to Jay, Sheila, and Devin for being yourselves, real, and the best people we've ever had the pleasure of meeting! We love you guys/gal and hope to see you sooner than later! FYI if you're friends of Bill W you're gonna love the staff as much as I do!!! We really are everywhere 😁!
