Fondue Anyone?

On Saturday, Aaron and I went out for our Valentine's Day dinner. We went early because well...big crowds don't suit us! Aaron made reservations at The Melting Pot in Louisville. It was our first time at the fondue restaurant but we had heard a lot about the place from friends and family.

The reviews were correct and The Melting Pot didn't disappoint! We had a really good time and had some really great food. We started the meal with a pot of Spinach Artichoke Cheese fondue with bread, apple and cauliflower dippers.

The next course (Fondue Fusion) included Lobster Tail, Filet Mignon, Balsamic Marinated Sirloin,Garlic and Herb Chicken, Citrus Pork Tenderloin, White Shrimp, Wild Mushroom Ravioli, and vegetables. I know it sounds like a lot but they only give you five pieces of each. Don't worry it really fills you up. They bring all the meat to you uncooked and you get to cook it yourself in whichever cooking style you choose. We chose the Coq au Vine fondue which consisted of broth, fresh herbs, mushrooms, garlic, spices and burgundy wine. Is your mouth watering yet?

And to top off the meal we chose a Snickers Chocolate fondue with brownie, marshmallow, cheesecake, pound cake, strawberry and banana dippers. Delicious!

I would recommend The Melting Pot experience to anyone! We had a lot of fun. I thought at first cooking your own food would be annoying but it really added to the fun of it all. The waiter was really helpful in helping us pick out a great meal. We also enjoyed a private little table which made it romantic. We liked not being out amongst the crazies! We are all the crazy we can handle. :o)
