We(5 of us), went there for dinner to celebrate my Sister's birthday. We were seated immediately, which I thought was somewhat odd given it was close to 6pm on a Friday evening and the place was not full. After being seated our waiter came over to take our drink orders. It took him every bit of ten minutes to bring three glasses of water and two iced teas. The water tasted like it came out of a rusty pipe. He then disappeared for another five minutes and reappeared to take our appetizer order, which was the stuffed mushrooms 4 of them for nine dollars, and onion rings for the others in our party. The appetizers came out- mushrooms were horrible and the onion rings were huge but only had a small piece of onion in them and were deep fried and had no flavor. I ordered my usual N.Y. Strip which was a 14 ounce serving. My girlfriend ordered the filet , my mother the pork chop, my sister and her friend the sirloin. The salad along with rolls and sweet butter came out next. You could smell the chemicals in the salad, obviously bag lettuce. I ordered balsamic vinaigrette, my girlfriend ranch, my sister and her friend ordered the same and my mother ordered Italian. My girlfriends ranch tasted like mayonnaise, and the balsamic vinaigrette was the consistency of thick gravy with no flavor. The dinners arrived a short time after we finished our salad, everyone seemed pleased with their meals as they were done according to how they ordered them. Mine however was not. My steak was ordered medium rare, it was clearly medium, and I have to say- did not look like a traditional N.Y. Strip cut. This one was longer and thinner. Normally- a medium rare steak will be fairly charred with grill marks on the outside and med. rare inside and there will be juice on the plate. This steak was too lightly colored outside and overdone inside. I informed the waiter and he took it back and brought me another one shortly thereafter. This one was no better than the first one. I asked him to take it off the bill. He apologized but offered no alternative, such as something else off the menu. My girlfriend offered some of her filet , which was wonderful, and cooked perfectly. Now, it's been my experience that when food is returned to the kitchen for whatever reason, the manager always comes out and asks if there was a problem and apologizes and offers to either get you something else or take it off your bill. The manager never came. As we were leaving, the manager was behind me and I told her that I had to send 2 steaks back because they were not cooked properly. She stood there and proceeded to tell me that the first steak was cookd properly, and when I interrupted her to tell her it was most certainly not- her exact words were to me" Do you want to let me finish talking ". From a manager??? She then said-"I have no control over the cow". So she knew the steaks went back and never came to the table to apologize. If I owned that restaurant- she would be looking for work elsewhere. Now I understand why the place was not full, and their Mentor location shut down. Never again !!

We went out Saturday night instead of Sunday to have dinner. we both had a drink, corned beef dinner and all the trimmings such as potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. the portions were significant, hot, and well presented. service was excellent. a bit pricey, but for what we had and it being a holiday dinner, it was expected. the location was clean, and lit with an ambiance to be expected for the time of day.ArmyVet95BV5,Thank you for the 5 star review! I am glad you enjoyed the corned beef dinner for St Patrick's Day celebration. Join us for Happy Hour 7 days a week 3 pm - 6 pm.Thank you,Mark HarperGeneral Manager

If you like delis, this is your place. The menu is full of traditional jewish dishes, from brisket to cold cuts to borscht and matzah ball soup. Think of what you would find in a traditional ny deli, and this is better. Loved the wording on the menu, and the way the staff talks about the food. We had the hot dogs, brisket, pastrami, burger, blinzes and eclair. Portions are big, so be ready. If you like delis, this is worth going out of your way for.... Definately will be back.

My kids love this restaurant and my son wanted to go here with family for his birthday. When making the reservation the attendant was very helpful in getting us set up with banquet menus for easy ordering. When we arrived, the cheese course was already stringy, like it had been out for awhile (even though we waited for our table). The rest of the courses were fine, but the chocolate course was definitely light on chocolate. Everyone had a good time, which was great. However, my biggest beef was with the way the boiling broth for the protein course was removed from our table. THE POTS WERE NOT COVERED AND WERE LIFTED OVER THE HEADS OF THE PEOPLE AT THE TABLE. I complained while at the restaurant and afterwards to the manager via email, and never heard back. Hence, now my public review.Dear TandPmom:Hi this is Seth from the Melting Pot Restaurant.Thank you so much for the candid review. Weâre glad that everyone had a good time. However, we are mortified and embarrassed that the Pots were not covered and were lifted over your heads! Weâre also sorry about the cheese. Our cheese should be silky, creamy and smooth. Please allow us to do something special for you. Email me directly at [email protected] Thank you!

First time Iâve ever been to Melt after hearing about it so many times. The atmosphere is fun. The menu has LOTS of choicesâespecially for us vegetarians. Huge beer and cocktail list. Only problem was the service was slow. Understaffed for sure. I understand this is a long-standing issue.Still a great sandwich and good soup.

My birthday dinner with a friend had been postponed due to schedule complications so we opted for a Black Friday meal away from shopping centers. An early dinner. 4 PM. Very few patrons at that time. Server was young, sweet, courteous. My friend ordered the wild mushroom meatloaf which looked delicious if one likes meat. I ordered a pasta of the day which came with marinara sauce over penne with chicken and mushrooms. We started with a shared appetizer of deviled eggs, which was the best part of the meal. In retrospect, I'm sorry I didn't order them as my entree with a side of something. The pasta, to my taste, was overly spicy for a "marinara" sauce. I brought home the leftovers for the overpriced $18 dish, but plan to salvage the pasta, rinse off the sauce and just have it with olive oil. At some point I inquired about bread which was never offered or presented. Oh yes, they have complimentary sour dough or their croissants are an additional $5. It seemed close to a half hour between the request and our server's next appearance, without the bread still. Of course by then dinner was about over. But yes, we would still like it, to help quell the fire from the hot sauce. She would "put the order in". It seems our request for something so simple was put in a line with other incoming orders. At least 20 minutes later a plate was delivered with 4 wedges of toasted bread (not sourdough as best we could tell, and which was described) sprinkled with parsley flakes and a cup of butter. It was a long while again before her return and we basically had to ask about dessert although she did ask about coffee. It seems there is virtually no variation in their unprinted dessert offerings. Our visits were far enough apart that I didn't remember how much they were not liked. Warm carrot cake with warm cream cheese frosting was recalled as not being enjoyable. My companion is no fan of Key Lime...there was one other unappealing choice along with the chocolate cake. We opted to share that. It was delivered on a huge platter by another person, without any utensils or additional plates. Come on people, it's flu/cold season nearly and you expect people to share from the same plate? BLECH! The requested items were provided and we used a fork to break the overly large piece of dark chocolate bundt cake. It was yes, dense and moist but really was more gummy and artificial tasting and I must remember this is not a place to order dessert ever. It was accompanied by a large scoop of ice cream and that would have been better, alone. I had a piece of chocolate cake from Wegman's at home that was 10 days old and it was far better. I guess, for me, it was just a poor menu choice. I know their chicken salad sandwich is quite good.

This CPK restaurant is right next to an open shopping and entertainment area that is used for musical (and other?) entertainment during the summer months (at least). Our server, Ryan, was very attentive to our table; he checked in with us often. He got our daughter drink refills without us having to ask. Our meals were fresh-tasting and nicely flavored. All in all, a very satisfying meal that reminded us of our CPK meals at home.
