Fondue at its Finest


On Halloween night we decided to stay far away from any crazy costume parties that may have been taking place in the city. However, it is hard tell those who come to the city in costume to celebrate from those who inhabit this interesting part of the globe.


We opted for a relaxing dinner at a restaurant that we have been wanting to try since we moved here. The Melting Pot is not unique to the area, but they did build it inside of an old brick kiln in Larkspur, so it makes for great ambiance.

The premise of the restaurant is an entire meal where every course is fondue-style. We started with spinach-artichoke cheese, moved on to the main course of cooking raw meats in a seasoned broth and finished off with a Flaming Turtle...a chocolate, carmel, pecan fondue set on fire for our dining pleasure. Since it was Halloween we got the dessert for free, but that hardly made a dent in the very steep bill. It was a charming experience that I recommend doing just once.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. They usually have to roll me out of the restaurant since I'm all about the 4 course meal. Definitely recommend it.
