We had a truly wonderful experience at the Melting Pot with our family. There were 7 of us in the party, two celiac who had to eat gluten free, the food was delicious and the two wait staff assigned to our table in a private room were over the top terrific, both so attentive to our dietary needs and explained everything about the food, the way to choose it, cook it, and not cross contaminate. They had gluten free bread options for the first course to dip the cheese into. We had our two kids who loved the experience of dipping and cooking and both devoured everything served. The cocktails and mocktails were delicious. No issues afterwards at all for our two family members who have celiac. The only thing we wished happened was we didn’t get so full and could have saved room for the chocolate dipping so we’ll definitely go back for dessert!

The melting pot in Orlando has a great menu for gluten free and I also have celiacs and they did everything they could to make sure I didn’t have cross contamination between myself and 5 other people in our group. You might have to bring it up a couple times just to make sure but they did a really great job, we had one mistake but they brought new food and broth out no problem. Highly recommend.

Ideal if everyone you're dining with doesn't mind sharing all gluten free options because of cross contamination. They have gf bread and brownies/cookies. Almost all of the fondue is gf, and they can sub out things.

The food is very good, and the staff is very nice. However, I got very sick after eating at this location. I will chalk it up to having a waiter who was training but am unsure if this is safe for people with Celiac disease.

Great experience with many gluten free options. Be mindful of dining with non gluten free people since you share oil and chocolate (you get 1-2 burners depending on party size). But this can be worked around by pouring chocolate and cheese on your plate rather than dipping and cookie glutened options last (and asking for multiple burners)

Very impressed! I have avoided this restaurant for the past year, scared of cross contamination. I finally broke down and went with a friend, who also has gluten-sensitivities. I am sooo happy we did. Our server, Sean actually took the time to walk us through the menu, and needed no explanation from us at all- he knew exactly what we could and could not eat. I ordered a drink with Makers Mark in it, and he came back to tell me it was not GF, due to winter wheat used in production. So I walked away without any issues with the food, had a great meal and learned something new about Makers Mark. The Owner Mark, (yes, owner!) came to the table and made sure everything was ok, and told us that he has gluten allergies in his family, and understands the importance of properly training and educating his staff to accommodate all guests. Also worth mentioning, they will be happy to serve 2 separate fondue pots at a table if necessary, so the entire table does not have to eat gluten free! Will return again, many times, with confidence. Definitely a great place to eat and enjoy!

Eating here tonight was a great experience. The staff was well trained in what a celiac patient needs. I was given GF bread to dip in cheese and both GF sponge cake and brownies to dip in the chocolate. great experience.

We had such a wonderful experience! I’m not only gluten free but also have an egg allergy. We made a reservation online and they had not only allergy friendly bread for me, but brownies AND cookies! It’s hard enough for me to find anything to eat, let alone every course! We always come here for special occasions, and highly recommend it!

if you’re reactive/celiac then READ THIS!!! called ahead and thought that it would be safe because when I asked what they did to eliminate cross contamination but when I was there is was clear they didn’t do those things. they still gave me all the sauces including the gluten sauces on the same platter as my food. I think my plate had bread crumbs so I switched with my husband. it did not follow through as hoped so proceed with caution

I had an amazing experience here with lots of gluten free options and substitutions. Just let the waiter know you're gluten free and they will go out of their way to accommodate. The substitutions were tasty and there was no upcharge.

Be aware: They were able to accommodate my need to be Gluten free, however, this means that my wife also had to eat gluten free. I don’t like to force GF on her, especially when it’s date night and eating out.
