"My husband, oldest son, and his wife and I went to celebrate Mother's Day yesterday. We drove up from Lynchburg after church. I had made reservations. When I made them I was asked if we were celebrating anything special and I had laughed and said yes, Mother's Day. When we were seated there were 4 carnations laying at each place on the table. Nice touch, especially for me because I love flowers. We had never been there before. We had a coupon to use for $20 off of a 4 course meal for two. We all ended up getting that. Because our table only had one cooking surface it did limit us to having to agree on the cheese fondue, the cooking sauce, and the dessert fondue. Next time, unless it's just...

Another great family dinner at The Melting Pot Charlottesville. Tim was a great waiter and also was nice to meet the owner tonight as well. The food was excellent as always and the chocolate fondue dessert was enjoyed by everyone too!

This was our second time at the melting pot and as I expected.. I was not let down. Not only was the food amazing the service was off the charts. The owner introduced himself and made sure we getting excellent service. I felt that was a nice personal touch you don't normally see the owner of an establishment working with his employees to make sure tables were cleaned and that guests are enjoying themselves. This place is beyond my expectations every time. The best part is you know you will never leave hungry. I honestly couldn't say enough about this place to justify the experience. Although very expensive it's money well spent on special occasions.

Went here with my wife and parents last night. Not my first experience here, I've been several times before and have never been disappointed. The waiter, Scott I believe, was attentive and friendly and did everything to cater to my parents, who can definitely be picky and sometimes can have seemingly odd requests (as a former waiter myself I'd hate to have to wait on them). Both he and the owner, Derek, went above and beyond to make our experience great. While chain restaurants aren't generally my thing, I would never hesitate to recommend this locally owned franchise to anyone that wanted a nice leisurely multi-course meal with a date or with family.

"This is a review for the GREENBRIER location only! I hate giving this place only 2 stars. I truly do. You know what you 're getting with Guad. It 's fine. It 's Mexican food. We don 't have a ton of great options around here. Everyone knows that. Despite, that I would have given this four stars. I gave the other locations (BESIDES PANTOPS which I will discuss in that review) four stars. Why? Because I 'm not super picky with my Mexican food. It 's fine. It 's good enough for me to give four stars. Again, not picky. For the MOST part, the service is quite good! Almost all of the servers are attentive and extremely friendly! There is one server, however, who is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. I mean, incredibly awful. I do not want to name this person publicly, but there is NO WAY that other people haven 't complained about them. To say that this server is rude is an understatement. It will make your jaw drop. The first time it happened, I thought, Maybe they were just having a bad day. After it happened two or three more times, I thought, The only way this person is still employed is because they must be the owner 's spouse. There is no way this person should still be employed. Customer service is NOT for them. Why do they hate life so much? And there is NOTHING you can do to cheer this person up: tip super crazy high amounts, kill with kindness , crack jokes, etc. The last time I was there, this server showed up to greet me with their arms crossed, as if to say, WELL?!! What do you want to eat, dummy? No Hello . No Hi there . No My name is ____ and I 'll be taking care of you , etc. Just folded arms and a stare like I just ran over their dog. I have never seen anything like this in my life. I do not visit this location anymore.... solely because of this ONE server. I will drive further to go to a different location, and I would suggest you do the same. Trust me, if you get the bad luck of getting this person, you will have a MISERABLE meal. If you are the owner reading this, are you aware that one of your servers is this rude? You might want to take a little inventory with who you are hiring because at least at this location, you completely lost my business."
