"Enter this particular Melting Pot and the feeling is that of a sophisticated wine bar in New York City. You can’t help but sense this restaurant is something very special. A spectacular glass-enclosed wine presentation gives the immediate impression that wine is an import part of what they’re about. Wine goes perfectly with fondue and you will find what one would call value based, moderately priced wines." --Grand Coast Magazine Dining out can be a lot more than just dining out. For many, it can be an adventure, and here’s a restaurant experience that is truly unique. A fondue restaurant that features fine aged cheeses, fresh salads, seafoodn and meats, chocolate fondue, exceptional cocktails and a Wine Spectator award-winning wine list.
The Melting Pot in AC is under the direction of owners who are taking fondue to a new level. Charlie Haney and Vince Chiaramonte are having as much fun as their "adventurous" guests, and because wine is such a natural companion to fondue, it’s a big part of their presentation. A recent "Award of Excellence" from the prestigious Wine Spectator Magazine is just part of the program that features some 250 labels, 2000 bottles and 30 wines by the glass. | Particulars Price Range: $30 and under
