We made a reservation here because my fiancée was accepted to veterinary school and she had always wanted to try The Melting Pot. I had never been in part because I am vegan. I knew going in that I was likely going to pick off of her plate, much on some veggies or fruit, and then swing through the Taco Bell drive thru on the way home (literally that was our plan). Her celebration on this one night is much more important than my dietary restrictions (love - makes you do dumb stuff). I made the reservation online and ordered flowers to be waiting on the table for her (made even easier by the link provided in the reservation confirmation email).
When I got the confirmation call I mentioned that I was vegan and asked if there was anything they could do for me and the hostess said she'd note it on my reservation - I was hoping that maybe they could throw together a pasta or something. Well, the day of my reservation I received a voicemail from Tyler letting me know that I would have a vegan cheese, a vegan dessert and an option for a vegan entree. I was thrilled.
We got to the restaurant, the waiter knew of my restrictions and acknowledged them immediately. My fiancée ordered her cheese and they brought my vegan cheese out with it, which was TO DIE FOR. The waiter even explained what dipping pieces were vegan. We were too full for the entrees, but my dessert was amazing. Wild berry puree with peanut butter to melt into it - again I was informed what dipping pieces were vegan. I was so impressed that a place known for cheese and chocolate was so very accommodating for me and I didn't have to go out of my way to explain "vegan" (you'd be surprised how many people don't know what "dairy" is).
I expected to go hungry and instead I left stuffed. We will absolutely be back. THANK YOU for making a special dinner really really special.
