This past weekend up in Everett my boyfriend and I had an early Valentine's Day at The Melting Pot in Bellevue, WA. This was in the middle of the huge Snowpacalypse that decided to unleash some white wonderland snowflake fury on the Pacific Northwest. You can read more about the Snowpacalypse by clicking here. The Melting Pot is pretty much the perfect place to have a date night if you don't mind slightly small portions, and slightly high prices. There are a lot of options and I definitely left feeling full, but it's not some place that you can frequent on a weekly basis. Here are some pictures below of the delicious experience! All food descriptions and more information for The Melting Pot can be found here.
No full length shot, but I have no shame in saying that we both looked pretty cute!
1st course: Traditional Swiss Cheese Fondue (Gruyère and Emmenthaler Swiss cheeses, white wine, garlic, nutmeg, lemon and Kirschwasser) alongside baguettes, assorted meats, granny smith apples, and vegetables)
2nd course: The California Salad, perfectly proportioned. (Mixed baby salad greens, Roma tomatoes, candied pecans and Gorgonzola cheese with Raspberry Black Walnut Vinaigrette)
3rd course: Our entrees! We opted for the Mojo cooking broth (Caribbean-seasoned bouillon with a distinctive fresh-garlic flavor and a citrus flair) and ordered The French Quarter (Premium filet mignon, all-natural breast of chicken, and Pacific white shrimp seasoned with Cajun spices and accompanied by flavorful Andouille sausage) and Steak Lovers (Premium filet mignon, teriyaki-marinated sirloin, and seasoned choice Angus sirloin). These are also accompanied by 5 sauces: Curry, Gorgonzola Port, Green Goddess, Ginger Plum, and Teriyaki Glaze, and a bowl of assorted vegetables.
4th course: Dessert! Holy moly this was delicious. We selected the Chocolate S'mores for our dessert fondue (milk chocolate with marshmallow cream, flambéed and topped with bits of graham crackers). All dessert fondues come with an assortment of strawberries, bananas, red velvet and brownie bites, rice krispies treats, marshmallows, and a cheesecake.
Watch our dessert fondue being made in action!
Cost: ~$50/person
Quality: 4 out of 5
Service: 4 out of 5
Would I go again: Yes! But only for something VERY special...don't want to break the bank.
They also bring you back seconds for the cheese fondue and the dessert fondue so don't worry about rationing everything out!
Have you ever had fondue before? Have you ever made your own fondue? I think that'll be my next adventure! Don't forget that you can follow me on Bloglovin` by clicking the Eiffel Tower to your right!
