Melting Pot

After leaving the Stamford Cone we had trouble finding a place to eat supper. We hadn't had lunch, but we each ate a piece of fruit and half a cookie in the car. We didn’t want a deli, pizza, or fancy. The GPS’s suggestions took us off Route 1 twice to restaurants that no longer exist, so we decided to stay on the route and take what we got. We ended up at the Melting Pot, a fondue restaurant. They are popular enough to require reservations and they had no openings for two hours after we arrived. However, they said we could get cheese fondue at the bar, and that’s what we did, as did another couple. We chose a cheese fondue with blue cheese in it and it was delicious. It came with pieces of bread, apple, and fresh veggies (celery, baby carrots, and cauliflower). We each ordered Caesar salads which were also delicious. We finished off with dark chocolate fondue with fruit, brownies, and cheesecake. A bit expensive, but delicious! ($74.33) (Jan)
