The Melting Pot

I had an amazing dinner and time. I did the 4-course menu. I did make reservations with gluten free in the comments. Everyone was wonderful. Addy our server was VERY knowledgeable. She did explain that it may take a little extra time because she had to make sure we had a bread board that was ran through the dishwasher for no possible cross contamination. She also identified everything I could eat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yes they have gluten free choices, but the service is so painfully slow and food is overpriced. If someone else at your table wants gluten they need a separate pot, which seemed to keep confusing my server. She kept saying we could pick two cheeses or two sauces and all share. No we can't. I have an allergy!! Wanted to strangle her by the end of the night for constantly telling my gluten eating friends that they could use my pot. It took us 4 hours to be served our 4 courses and we were clearly trying to rush things along and get out of there. Two hours to get a refill on my coffee. No joke. Slow and incompetent service.

The menu specifically stated what was gluten free or what could be excluded to make it gluten free. They are not limited at all in what sides they could give us for our fondue. They had GF bread, cookies, brownies, etc. There was plenty of variety and the waitress was extremely knowledgeable and sensitive about our dietary needs. Very impressed!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was knowledgeable about gluten free food preparation and even made sure everyone else at the tables food what gluten free so it didn’t cross contaminate. The food was amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I feel as though the restaurant is well prepared for a great GF experience, but my waitress brought chocolate with graham crackers mixed in to our completely GF table. There's no telling how long my son an I, both celiac sufferers, will deal with the after effects. And, truthfully, $150 to feed three people when we have to cook it ourselves? I'm not feeling it. There are sooo many great GF friendly eateries in the St. Louis metro, there's no reason to settle!

Celiac friendly?

No

they even have gluten free brownies and pound cake for the chocolate fondue

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are very have a ton of gluten-free options and are very good about accomidating those with gluten allergies. The chefs are extremely knowledgable!

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
