balsamic sirloin, shrimp
Diablo, sun-dried toma
to chicken, orange fennel
pork tenderloin, porcini
and Portobello sacchet-
ti and fresh vegetables. It
was all great but we agreed
the shrimp Diablo was our
favorite.
For dessert, which was our
favorite course, we chose the
Disaronna Meltdown, a dec
adent mixture of silky white
chocolate swirled with ama-
retto and flambeed tableside.
For dipping, you get a tray
of brownies, cheesecake,
marshmallows, strawberries,
bananas and pound cake.
The Midtown location has
modern decor consisting of
dark woods and draped rich
colors that creates a warm,
inviting atmosphere. The
wonderful service, relaxed
Midtown location and great
food all add together to
make for a fun evening out.
Whether it's a romantic din
ner for two or a large group
of family and friends, it's a
wonderful place to start your
night out in Atlanta.
The Melting Pot is located
at 754 Peachtree St. NE,
