We dine at this restaurant very frequently and we also get takeout a lot here. It's very disappointing to call to order something to go and them tell me that I can't place an order until 8:30 tonight. I've never been told that I couldn't place a to go order here or anywhere else in Scottsdale because they can't handle the volume of customers. Melting Pot doesn't allow take out...I get that. It's not like to go orders are discounted or anything. This is NOT a cheap restaurant, by any means, and our order is normally well over $100. I bet any Sam Fox restaurant would have no problem taking our order on a weekday at 6:15. Maybe the manager, Dan, should have offered something for the inconvenience. Yes, you have great food, but you should treat all of your customers the same whether it's dine in or take out.
