Description: Voted Best Restaurant in Nashville and Best Place for a Romantic Dinner in a Nashville Scene readers’ poll, this fondue restaurant is a fun spot when you’re in the mood for something a little different for dinner. The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate. Allow 2 hours for the complete Melting Pot experience. The menu is based on courses. Your meal starts with a cheese fondue course, prepared by the server; the cheese course is followed by a salad. For the entree course, you cook your choice of meats or vegetables in the melting pot in the center of the table. Lobster tails, center-cut fillet, Cajun-rubbed meats, and sausages are just a few of the choices. The final course is the dessert fondue—a variety of chocolate fondues in which you dip pound cake, cheesecake, bananas, strawberries, pineapple, and nutty marshmallows. If you want only the dessert fondue, come in the late afternoon or after 9 p.m. It’s a good idea to have reservations, especially on the very busy Fri and Sat nights. The Melting Pot is open daily for dinner.
