The food was fine, the restaurant is dated but fine. My main issue is that the server wasn’t even remotely trained on gluten free practices. I barely ate anything - didn’t feel very comfortable at all. Two main issues:

1.) the server offered to bring out gluten items with the gluten free items and didn’t realize at all that it would be an issue to put them in the same pot and then kept accidentally bringing gluten + gluten free items.

2.) he also brought out the wrong dessert and dusted graham crackers all over the table, my plate and everything else before I could stop him so I wasn’t able to eat dessert.

It’s only been about 20 mins and I’m not feeling great.

This was my first time at The Melting Pot. Their four course meal includes a cheese fondue starter, a salad, a meat and vegetable course with various sauces, and a chocolate fondue course. My wife and I went for lunch, and we had the full meal, along with a flight of ones that coincided with the courses (I suggest splitting with a friend, or you may not remember much, by the time you get to dessert!).

Left very full & happy! GF Bread to dip in the spinach & artichoke dip, tons of options, and they brought out GF brownies to dip in our chocolate fondue! As long as everyone at your table abides to the GF options I would say this is Celiac safe.

UPDATE: Came back for a second time and again my food all tested gf with my Nima sensor, and I had no reaction. I always request a separate pot from the people I’m with and they are super accommodating with that. Waiter was very knowledgeable and asked if I was celiac. Super nice people and great food!

The food was great, and they even had vegan cheese and chocolate (I can’t eat dairy). I could hardly tell that the cheese was vegan. The waiter was very knowledgeable and let me know that some of the gluten free dippers (bread and desserts) had dairy in them. I tested everything with my Nima sensor and it all came up gluten free. I’m very sensitive and I didn’t get sick.

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!
