When in Boston for Easter, I had the pleasure of going to a restaurant called The Melting Pot. Having never been to, or even heard of this establishment before, I was immediately intrigued by the concept: a restaurant centered around fondue. During their 4-Course Experience, there is a cheese fondue for appetizers, dipping sauces to accompany dinner, and an vast selection of chocolate fondues for dessert.
Unfortunately, when I visited The Melting Pot, I was only able to enjoy the dessert portion of the meal. The pot of chocolate fondue I selected was called the Flaming Turtle. It was an amazing combination of milk chocolate, caramel, and candied pecans. To top it all off, our server literally set the pot of fondue ablaze when it arrived at our table. With each pot of fondue, there was a plate of fresh strawberries, bananas, cheesecake, pound cake, brownies, Rice Krispie Treats, and marshmallows.
To say that this dessert was absolutely delicious is an understatement. The plates of dipping desserts were gone within a few minutes, but more were brought out for us to enjoy. When all of the dippers were eventually gone, I found myself scraping the blazing hot pot just to get some more morsels of chocolate. It was rich, thick, creamy, and the caramel added a subtle but distinguishable flavor that added another dimension to the fondue.
This experience was great on all accounts, from presentation to quality and quantity to service. I absolutely intend on going back for the full 4-Course meal the next time I'm in Boston.
