Excellent fondue place for special occasions; as a severe celiac, I've never gotten contaminated here. Great substitutions for gf, nice variety of options, knowledgeable and understanding staff.

We have eaten here for special occassions with my very sensitive, celiac brother for the last five years or so and he has never been contaminated. The kitchen is very knowledgable about gf, however sometimes the servers bring out the sauce tray with the one not-gf sauce (the teriyaki). They will bring a fresh tray once asked, and we have never had an issue. Very fun experience to be able to enjoy gf fondue! Almost everything is gluten-free, even the chocolate fondue comes with items such as gf brownies and cookies.

Stated multiple times that we need to be gluten free for celiac. Waitress recommended food that wasn’t gluten free which was a red flag. Meat comes out and non-gluten free sauces are on the tray. We left at that point but sick from the cheese and gluten free dippers. They supposedly have the gluten intolerance certification but the training doesn’t seem to go to the entire staff so beware of cross contamination.

Went with my family to celebrate an anniversary - excellent meal !!! We had a broth fondue & the chocolate fondue.

As you all dip in the same pot, everyone would have to pick GF choices but that is easy to do ! Staff was knowledgeable and menu was well marked with what was GF.

Great evening - would go again ! FWIW, the cheese fondues can be GF as well.

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
