I have eaten here a few times and each time has been Awesome! The staff is well informed on what is and isn't gluten free. They have lots of gluten free options. Since the cake and a few other items on the dessert tray were not gluten free they substitute them for other yummy foods like pineapple and even added extra. EVERYTHING was sooooooo good I wish I could eat there regularly if it wasn't do pricey.

Staff was helpful, friendly and seemed to understand what was needed for someone with Celiac.. However, even after being served absolutely plain vegetables and filet mignon, which was cooked on a tabletop grill (new option).. I did become ill.. granted, I’m a very sensitive Celiac, but I will probably not eat there again. I feel that there may have been some cross contamination issue in the kitchen due to personnel not well trained in handling food for people with my sensitivity. We were a party of seven with 6 normal diners who had a great time.

Update: This more recent time they did give us a bit more food, which was nice. It seems to vary from each location and also just each visit is a tad different. The prices are still high, but the food is good.

I have been here many times. This place is expensive but the food is very good. They have recently changed a few things though. We used to get a lot of food so we would leave very full and felt it was worth the money. But now, they do not give you as much food so I was not full when I left. Since it is so expensive, and now we get less food, it makes me not want to go back.

Expensive but worth going at least once for the dining experience. I wouldn't go again for that Much money only because I didn't feel like they had a lot of options. they staff was friendly though and I loved the atmosphere.

Never on my radar, BUT I read an article by Gluten Free Dad about how it is Gluten free safe spot certified by an independent company. We were surprised at how well versed the employees were the variety offered. So far no one has gotten sick. Everything is brought/made in front of you by you and everything was labeled on the menu. The dessert was the best! GF brownie and cookie that weren’t hard as a rock. I doubled checked with the waitress every time and she wasn’t annoyed by my questions!

The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had. Almost all of the cheeses could be made gluten-free, they had gluten-free bread to dip in the cheese, and gluten-free brownies and snickerdoodles to dip in the chocolate. Amazing experience and didn’t get sick!

Menu has labels for GF options. When I’m able to have an appetizer, main course AND dessert at dinner I appreciate it. They have GF bread for cheese dip appetizers. And GF brownies for chocolate dip dessert and (for a small up charge) macarons! Don’t sleep on The Melting Pot!

Wonderful gluten free experience. Very knowledgeable staff and the food was delicious. There’s really barely any difference between the gluten and non gluten platters.

Our waiter seem very well informed. He reviewed the menu with me to ensure that I knew what could be offered gluten-free as food came out to the table. They confirmed what was gluten-free. We had our own pot to cook in separate to the people that we were with, I would definitely eat here again
