Those of us who have been living in the ’Burg for a while remember the 40-year legacy of the Melting Pot on 4th Street. While that location is now a fond memory, the tradition continues at their newest location on Central Avenue. Celebrating 50 years, the new Melting Pot is reintroducing St. Pete to its interactive fondue experience.
The indoor/outdoor bar welcomes both diners and those stopping by for a cocktail. Step into the dining area and soak in the warm ambiance. Tabletops are outfitted with two burners—your server prepares the fondue, and you and your guests create your own entrées.
The four-course option begins with your choice of half a dozen cheese fondues, served with fruit, bread, and vegetables for dipping. Next comes one of four distinctive salads, from the strawberry spinach with gorgonzola, honey-roasted almonds and golden raisins to the California with candied pecans, tomatoes and mixed greens.
Before selecting entrées, you will choose a cooking style. We opted for the Mojo, infused with bright Caribbean citrus flavors, garlic and cilantro. Entrée selections are plentiful, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. The Land & Sea features steak, chicken, shrimp and salmon, while the Pacific Rim offers shrimp, steak, potstickers, ahi tuna and duck breast.
The meal concludes with a decadent chocolate fondue. Choose from half a dozen variations in white or dark chocolate or try the flambé for a dramatic finish. With so many choices, the evening offers not just a meal, but an experience.
