The Melting Pot - Providence, Rhode Island

I know this is a chain. The good thing about it...you may have one in your area! My dear friend and I had a "Night Menu" the current menu has a Latin flair. It is a lot of food, and fear not, you will pay the price.
First course: Four cheeses, beer and jalapenos - Dippers, Granny smith apples (favorite), Bread and Tortilla Chips. Was very
good...once we added all the jalapenos. We enjoyed it!






Second course: Ceviche Salad: Shrimp, avocado, greens - Delicious and refreshing!









Entree Course: Pork, shrimp, chicken and
beef marinated on the same platter. We did the "Court Boullion" cooking method. It comes with potatoes, mushrooms and b
roccoli. They give you the broth and the cooking times. I was hesitant about cooking in the broth. It was well seasoned but at the end of the day, boiled meat = not great,
bottom line. Might have been better using the oil method!

Dessert: Dark chocolate & Dulce de leche caramel with sea salt: Pure heaven. Dippers = Marshmallows, cheesecake, strawberries bananas. It was hands down the best part! Loved every bite!





So, overall a good experience. We agree the entree part of the meal could be eliminated without any issue. It's fondue, Cheese & Chocolate are the reason its famous! It makes me laugh that a restaurant with SO M
ANY opportunities for major injury and illness has made it a success! Our waitress Zena was very informative and gave us all of the necessary warnings! Fun for a group night out, not worth the price for just a random lunch date.
