'Thursdate' Melting Pot, Littleton
Date nights are always a good idea. Melting Pot has designated their Thursdays as ‘Thursdates’ & we were treated to a memorable & romantic evening at the Littleton location.
'Thursdate' Melting Pot, Littleton
We arrived at Melting Pot and headed inside the historic building (it used to be a library back in the day). We were brought to a table decorated in rose petals & candles. Talk about setting the mood! The aesthetic of the restaurant was moody and romantic with aged brick, low uplighting and cozy booth seating aptly named ‘Lover’s Lane’. I loved that each booth had its own curtains for privacy. We were able to watch the sunset from our booth.

The service at Melting Pot was spot on. Our server Chelsea was bright, attentive and quick to meet our needs. Managers Mike & Crystal stopped by our table and several others to ensure meals were running smoothly.
The Thursdate menu consisted of four-courses including handcrafted cheese fondue, fresh salad, a large entrée course including several varieties of meat and seafood, and dessert - only $65/person. The option to add La Marca Prosecco for a sparkling toast for two is available for $10.
We started with the La Marca Prosecco.
La Marca Prosecco
The prosecco opened with aromas of stone fruit and rushed onto the palate with a crisp green apple taste - a great pair for the cheese fondue.
We chose the Classic Alpine for our handcrafted cheese fondue. The Classic Alpine was made with Gruyère, Raclette, Fontina, White Wine, Garlic, and Nutmeg.
The Classic Alpine
Yum - the fondue had a nutty flavor & delicate aroma. The cheeses blended together in a thick, creamy consistency. Out of all the dipping accoutrements, I liked the green apples best. The crisp tartness of the apple complemented the creaminess of the cheese nicely.
For salad I had the Melting Pot House Salad made with Mixed Greens, Cheddar, Tomatoes, Croutons, Scallions, Egg, and choice of dressing.

The tangy honey mustard paired well with the bed of greens.
For our entrees we had the Big Night Out Fondue Entrée that came with Premium Filet Mignon, Teriyaki-Marinated Steak, Herb-Crusted Chicken Breast, Shrimp, Atlantic Salmon, and Wild Mushroom Ravioli. (Gluten Free options available). We prepared our entrée with the Coq Au Vin broth made with Burgundy Wine, Mushrooms, Scallions, and Garlic.

I enjoyed the Teriyaki-Marinated Steak which had a salty sweet mellow taste. The mushrooms were a stand out; they were nice and meaty with a mild earthy taste. The large variety of dipping sauces was a nice touch.
For dessert we had the Yin & Yang chocolate fondue made with milk and white chocolate artfully melted together. We added on the Sweet Additions: Cream Puffs, Macarons, and Cheesecake.
Yin & Yang chocolate
Oh yes please - course four had our full undivided attention. The milk and white chocolate melted together like a dream. The hot chocolate fondue against the cool fruit, cream puff, and cheesecake made for lovely temperature contrast. My favorite dipping accoutrements were the graham and Oreo covered marshmallows.
Big thanks to Melting Pot, Chelsea, Mike, Crystal, Samoa Arbulu, and Tilson PR for hosting us!
