Fabulous Friday

These are the desserts you dip into the dessert fondue of your choice.
It is soooo good!! We loved it!

There are so many great things to do and see where we live. We've had the great fortune to experience a lot of it. Some of these things we can't do often. We save them for very special occasions.
Such is the case with The Melting Pot restaurant.

We have several of these restaurants in our area, but we've only been to the one in Tacoma. Each time we've eaten there it was a special reason. Our first two times were in celebration of a rare date night, and the third time we took the kids there to celebrate the end of the school year. Both of them will be moving up to another level at school, so we thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate.

If you've never been to The Melting Pot, it's a very nice restaurant that serves a four-course fondue dinner. You start with cheese fondue and dip bread, veggies and Granny Smith apples into the cheese fondue. You get a salad, your entree, which is more fondue in a different fondue cooking sauce of your choice, and then dessert fondue. That is my favorite part, but really the whole meal is great.

The fondue pot sits on a hot plate at your table and the server brings the mix to the table and prepares it there. If you've never had fondue, you should try it. It's delicious. One of the best parts of the meal for me is the time I get to spend with the people at the table. This meal takes a while, so we have plenty of time to sit and talk. The kids love it, and Sean was especially impressed with being able to cook his own food right there at the table.

It can get pricey, but there's a special 3-course dinner through September for $29.95 per person.  That's a deal, because some of the 4-course dinners can run almost $50 per person.
And kids 12 and under eat free on Sundays and Tuesdays.

The whole experience takes at least an hour. So, if you're looking for a way to celebrate a special occasion, or want to get to know someone better and spend some time talking over dinner, The Melting Pot is a fabulous choice. I would say it's a fabulous Friday choice, but if you have kids 12 and under it might be a more fabulous choice on Sunday or Tuesday.
