Use desserts for chocolate fondue from local gf bakery! So good!
My wife's favorite restaurant in Dayton. She was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and we thought we had lost this as an option. We were wrong! We had a terrific experience, staff was knowledgeable and asked if food should be prepared separately (Celiac vs intolerance). Bread for cheese fondue was from local GF bakery (Sinfully Gluten-free) and they used GF lager for cheese fondue. Our favorite part: the GF menus was professionally printed and leather bound, not an afterthought like some places. Great place for special occasions!!
They had a leather bound gluten free menu that looked as professional as their regular menu. I was surprised at how well suited they were to Celiac patrons and we had a wonderful experience. There were good options for each course with few modifications and our server was very knowledgable. In our experience gluten-free is not an afterthought at The Melting Pot - I felt pampered rather than accommodated and that's a rare thing in chain restaurants.

Everything is fondue or cooked on a tabletop heater used by the entire table. Our waitress was not knowledgeable about what is GF.

My kids love going here. The staff is very knowledgeable. They have gf options for crackers and other substitutes for the menu. We went with a group and my daughter and I got our own pot so there was no cross contamination.
Going to the Melting Pot was such a a nice experience. Everything on the menu is labeled. Substitutions are listed. The waiters were knowledgeable. We had 2 burners so that we could have both GF and Non- GF options on the cheese, chocolate and bullion options. Everything came on separate plates. Their GF bread was a good quality substitute.
We had a fantastic family evening out at the Melting Pot. We had an entirely gluten-free four course meal that the whole family enjoyed. The majority of the items on the menu were gluten free and the server, Daniel B., took care to ensure that all of the optional items, such as bread dippers were gluten free, so there was no chance of cross contamination.
Ask for 2 burner table if the rest of your party doesn't want gluten free bread for the cheese dip or if they want the teriyaki steak. Most things are GF and all marked. Accommodations can be made. The chocolate is gluten free!!!
This experience was incredible! By far the best gluten free experience we have had! I made reservations for my son and I who got diagnosed as Celiac in November and has been GF since. I made a note I. The reservations and reminded them when we got there. Our server reassured us of all the precautions they take. Most items on the menu were GF. The manager even came to our table to talk to us about GF! We were being treated like GF royalty! They were amazing and the food was spectacular!
