The Melting Pot

I made reservations for my boyfriend and I for a Friday night and made sure to note the gluten free option. When we arrived the server was aware and went over how the menu would change (gluten free beer and gluten free bread for the cheese option, no croutons and gluten free salad options, ect). During the main portion of the meal regular pasta was brought out and he went to work replacing the meat options since cross contact happened. It wad a great meal and would definitely go back. Since being Celiac I had gotten take out (cheese and chocolate option) and that was a great experience too.

Teriyaki sauce brought to our table which was not gluten free. Stale bread (Udi's tasted like mold). Both my celiac friend and myself got gluten hits.

Almost all items on the menu are labeled GF. The GF bread to dip in cheese is to die for! Server was meticulous about making sure entire meal was GF, even reminding all guests to spoon out cheese for their bread dipping. Wonderful experience!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free bear and amazing courses of food!!!

I've had one really good experience and one weird experience.

The first time I went, the server was extremely knowledgeable, the cheese course good (but disappointing bc they gave tortilla chips instead of gf bread) and the chocolate really good.

Just before the second time I went, I noticed they updated their menu so that the gf cheese course said it came with gf bread. I was, understandably SO excited...however the hostess didn't understand gluten free (and didn't care to) and neither did the waitress, who tried to tell me their regular bread didn't have crumbs and therefore my friend (not gf) and I could share a pot. Thankfully she was more open and we managed to clear matters up and we were able to get separate pots and she was very careful to not mix spoons and made sure every ingredient that went into my pot was gf...however, I was still given tortilla chips instead of the gf bread advertised on their menu. When I asked about this, I was told you have to call ahead for gluten free bread. Not cool.

I'll definitely go again because their cheese and chocolate are really good and the server the second time did seem genuinely engaged in making sure I was okay...but I guess I'll have to call ahead to get gf bread.

If you need a place for gluten free, dairy free or vegan this is the place to go. The staff is very knowledgeable in gluten free. And the owner herself came over to double check everything. For dairy free people or vegans, if you call a day ahead, they will order vegan cheese and chocolate. As for gluten free and celiacs, Te staff is very knowledgable and take every precaution in making sure you have the same experience as everyone else. From a person who is very sensitive to both gluten and dairy, I would strongly recommend this place. Just make sure you call a day ahead so they can prepare for your visit.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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
