The Melting Pot 1949 Ringling Boulevard, Sarasota, FL 34236

"Came here tonight to celebrate our two year anniversary. When we made reservations, they asked if there was any special occasion but yet we weren't told happy anniversary or anything. That was a little weird. For some reason Pete the bartender was assigned tables; in addition to making all the drinks for the entire restaurant and serving the people at the bar. He did a remarkable job multi-tasking under pressure. The drinks were fantastic and so was his attitude, but I think its messed up that management was putting so much work on one person, and although he handled it impressively, I would not want to be in his shoes. The restaurant was filled and everyone was ordering drinks including us. Pete had a great attitude, but not everyone was as patient as we were. Exceptional workers should not be rewarded with extra work. We had a great dinner but it took three hours to complete. If management is reading this please give Pete our love and recognition, and maybe even a raise. Thanks for the experience."

"We had a lovely time here and had such a wonderful experience. Jake was the best server we could have hoped for! He paced everything right and allowed us to have time to enjoy each meal! The food was spectacular! Some of the best food is here and we know we can count on it! Will be returning and requesting jake! Added bonus was the select parking spots for the restaurant!"

"Greatly appreciate the additions of vegan items to the menu! I used to come here all the time when I was younger and haven't been able to due to a dairy allergy so when I saw they had vegan options, it made my year! The amount of cheese fondue I ate was... unspeakable haha."

"Megan,Jesse,Jeremiah was our entertainment, server,and pampers. Amazing place to celebrate. We are celebrating our 43rd anniversary and we were not in a hurry and they made our evening very fun. It's not about the food, that comes after the atmosphere so much fun...."
