Gourmet cheeses, crisp salads, juicy meats, fresh seafood, and decadent chocolate—all these delicious selections await you at The Melting Pot. But a meal at our Reston restaurant is about more than just the food (even though the food is amazing); it’s an interactive and fun experience that gives you the opportunity to reconnect and grow closer with friends and family. Pick up a skewer, and dip fruit, veggies, meats, marshmallows, and more into a warm pot of fondue. Choose 1 or 2 of your favorite courses (cheese and chocolate please!), or indulge in the full 4-Course Experience. And don’t forget to complement your meal with a glass of wine, a cocktail or craft beer. You’ll find our restaurant in the Plaza America Shopping Center near Reston Town Center.

Reserve your table and get ready to enjoy some fondue!

    Edited to say- regional manager reached to me and could not have been nicer and more apologetic. Immediately sent us a gift card to replace the entire meal cost. We will absolutely give them the opportunity to make a good memory for us. Ask yourself this. If the point of the melting pot is to cook your own food and enjoy the experience, why does it take 3.5hours? It shouldn’t. And if it does, it’s because this place has no idea how to staff a restaurant. If you want to spend 3 hours for probably the slowest and worst possible quality of food that you yourself will have to cook with the worst possible utensils and cooking mechanisms, then by god- this place is for you. 40 minutes before one morsel of food was in front of us. A confusing menu, a lack of attention by our wait staff, and a $400 tab for 5 people (no alcohol) and you have the recipe for a place we will NEVER return to again. Good luck!

    Sasha, our server, was absolutely fantastic! Super friendly, kind, efficient. The prices are ridiculous! $127 plus a $23 tip to eat for two people is ridiculous! We will never go back here at those prices!

    I went to their Happy Hour with my BFF today. They have an excellent deal with the cheese and chocolate fondue at half price. The food is consistently tasty and the service is always excellent! You can count on it. I was also happy to donate to their annual St Jude's charity drive where they achieved their $10k goal tonight as well! Not only a wonderful meal but a generous restaurant as well!
    The Melting Pot - RestonResponded on December 5, 2024
    Wow! Thanks Ana for the 5 star review! We're thrilled to hear that the service and or Happy Hour promotion exceeded your expectations. Also many thanks for your contribution to helping our location hit the $10k goal for St Jude! It's a milestone for us and we appreciate you helping us to achieve it that evening. Our team looks forward to welcoming you back for some more fun filled fondue!

    We did the bigger night out 4 course meal and it was fantastic. The portions were great, everything was super fresh and our server was fantastic. Kevin made sure to check on us regularly and explained everything as he went. We really had a fantastic time and look forward to coming back soon.

    We had a wonderful evening for dinner! Tish was our server and did an exceptional job taking care of us throughout the courses! She checked on us regularly to ensure our drinks were refilled and any other dippers we may have needed to finish off the cheese and chocolate! I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a 5 star dining experience! P.S. I recommend the new garlic & herb quartet cheese to start and try getting the banana foster chocolate with a milk chocolate substitute!😋

    Melting Pot is an occasional experience where you go to enjoy the people you are with. My husband and I enjoy this when we want to have a night out and enjoy each other without the distractions of general life. Our server was attentive without being intrusive - great job Tabb! He engaged when we asked questions but left to take care of our needs and other tables without any awkwardness. When Tabb was busy the manager stepped in to check us out and get us on our way even though we were not in a hurry. We felt like we were in our own world with some background noise - we could talk easily without having to compete with other tables.

    Hi Donna! Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad that the food exceeded your expectations, and Tabb showed you an amazing night. We will pass along the kind words to him and look forward to seeing you all again soon!
