decent GF options but call ahead to make sure they have GF bread to dip- otherwise, you end up with whatever they can find. Celery and carrots dipped in cheese just isn’t the same thing!

I called ahead re:celiac. The staff member seemed a little informed about it. But he was confused about one apparently because he prepared it differently than they said they would on the website. I didn't bother correcting him because we were hungry and it was gluten free still. I kept double checking that every ingredient was gluten free- he said "yes I'm sure". After taking my first bite he came running to our table saying" stop! It's actually not gluten free! I just asked my manager." So he lied. The manager never came over to check on us and we didn't get a deal off the food, so it was a $70 meal down the drain (no pun intended). I don't know for other people but that's a lot of money for us and it was a special occasion. Would not recommend for Celiac.

We took my 80 year old Mom for her birthday along with my 20 year old Celiac son. Amazing dinner. Got the 4 course. Cheese course had GF bread. Main course the server knew the couple of meats that weren’t GF and the one sauce. And the dessert was so yummy! GF brownies and snickerdoodle cookies (Udi brand) along with fresh fruit and marshmallows. We all loved it so much. Server was very knowledgeable! Well done Melting Pot! I suggest the entire table go gluten free so you don’t have to keep track of dipping in the wrong pot. We did that with a table of 5 and was wonderful. No one missed out on anything since the food was so good

I've dined here several times. The staff is very accommodating. The gluten free menu is extensive. If you have problems with cross-contamination, you should make your entire party order from the gluten free menu. Everyone cooks their food in the same pot at the table. But, since almost everything is prepared at the table, you can see the ingredients being used.

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
