Reviews for The Melting Pot in Westwood, NJ
We haven’t been to the melting pot in quite some time (RIP Whippany, NJ), but we’re so incredibly thrilled we made the trip... down to this location. From the entrance, to the service, to the food. Everything was absolutely delightful and welcoming. Ourserver Max G made our date night so much fun and he was incredibly personable. We wish every server brought that kind of energy,service, personality, and humor to all our dates!!! He checked on us almost like a mind reader right before we needed moredrinks, dippers, or just about anything else. The food was so delicious that I’m pretty sure you had to roll us out of here. Ihighly recommend this location if you’re looking for a nice night out for a date night or other special type of evening. Thislocation delivers! Read more

Absolutely the most amazing place to go for a birthday party, special occasion, date, or simply to satisfy an urge for some... cheese and chocolate. ???? Everyone from the owner, the waiters, and even the bar tenders really make a great effort to ensureyou have the best experience ever. The food is to die for and the experience is very fun and unique. You should come hungrybecause the 4 course dinner is A LOT of food. I was in a food coma at the end of dinner. However, keep in mind you are cookingit yourself so speed is dependent on you. If you aren’t in the mood to eat a lot just skip the entree and you still will besatisfied with the quantity of food but Atleast won’t have to loosen your belt buckle ????. Price varies but is reasonable.If you are on a budget then I’d recommend having cheese fondue, salad and chocolate fondue. Very satisfying order and notexpensive for a dinner option. If you are looking to spend a little more then get the entree. If you are looking to splurge thenadd lobster to your entree. ???? My personal favorites that I recommend from the menu is the: - Spinach Artichoke Cheesefondue - California salad (has strawberries, Gorgonzola cheese, tomatoes, and greens) - Mojo for your cooking style (gives agreat Carribean taste). - Banana Foster Chocolate fondue if you like white chocolate, cinnamon and bananas - Flaming Turtle ifyou like milk chocolate, caramel and pecans. Both banana foster and flaming turtle options come with a cool flambéedpresentation so a great option to order if you are trying to impress. For alcohol: the Love Martini is super cool looking andtastes delish if you like sweet drinks. If you want to make the night even more special, you can arrange a picture to be takenand developed for you and have a teddy bear at the table for a wonderful surprise! She will definitely love it because it issuper fluffy and cute.???? I sure did. ???? Lastly, you can’t leave there without buying for your home the Wine and Garlic sh Read more
Haven't been here in years, but it was just as delicious as I remember! Service was slow-ish (took 20 min for someone to take... our order), but everyone was very kind. They gave me a beautiful birthday plate and side of chocolate covered strawberries.Thank you! Only complaint is that the MP has replaced the broccoli (in the entree pot) with cucumber. The broccoli was the bestvegetable to soak up all of the broth. Cucumbers are not an acceptable replacement. ???? But seriously please bring back thebroccoli! Read more
Great place to celebrate a Birthday. Something different. They had a Birthday Greeting on the screen, Birthday Cake and... Chocolate Covered Strawberries to take home..which were great little details that made the experience..Our server Maxwell wasexcellent and very personable.. The food was good, but the dessert puts it out of the park. Smores.. how can you go wrong. Alittle hard to find with the GPS because its off set from the main street. After 6 pm you don't have to feed the meters.Westwood, the Birthplace of James Gandolfini in 1961 (Tony Soprano). Read more
Delicious food, good service, and fun! You have a lot of options. The first course is a cheese course. We got the Alpine and it... was sublime. Lots of breads, veggies, and an apple slices. For the second course we picked the grill. The meat came off tender,juicy, and sizzling. Then you dip it in a sauce. Wow! For dessert there were two plates of sweet treats, including waffles andfruit. We sprang for the extra $10 goodies. Go, you won’t regret it. Read more
