The Melting Pot - Edmonton

It was lovely. Our server was fantastic and the food was great.

Generally great in all respects. John was a very attentive, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly waiter.

We eat here frequently and normally have an exceptional experience. However this time despite repeated warnings that we had an appointment after our dinner and repeated requests to bring the desert out while we eat in to go containers along with our bill to pay it still took 3 hours to get the food and the bill and we moved our appointment once and missed both appointments. An example is they brought the beoth for cooking the meat and 50% of it boiled away while we waited the 45 minutes for the meat to cook in it. Again despite us saying over and over again to 3 different people that we were in a rush. We even had the waitresses ask 30 minutes after our broth arrived why we out it to the edge of the heat source. When we said because it is boiling away and we still have no meat. This got the response oh and still 15 minutes later before we had the meat. We are talking about raw cur up meat. Give me a cutting block and a knife and I could prepare it in 5 minutes. Add to this the fact the restaurant was less then 50% full and you have to seriously wonder what was the issue. Eventually the manager did apologize which is appreciated just to be clear.

As always it was amazing. My parents were in town from Nova Scotia and it was my partners bday. A perfect night.

Service was great. Food was good… but would like to see them add the pine nuts back to the Caesar salad
