Happy Anniversary

Ross and I celebrated our 2-year anniversary this weekend at The Melting Pot in Station Square. We've heard so many good things about it, so we finally decided to give it a try for our special night out. It was exciting to try somewhere new, and somewhere unique, where all of your courses contain some type of fondue (for those of you who have never heard of the restaurant).


Our watress was nice enough to take a few photos. You can see by our
food that this was the end of our meal...chocolate fondue!


We went all out and ordered the "4-course dinner for 2," which we were told was the way to go, if eating there. It was great to try every course that they offered! Our first course was a Spinach & Artichoke Cheese Fondue, served with bread for dipping, apple slices and veggies. I was a bit confused how apple slices and cheese fondue go together, which was not one of my favorite combos, but Ross surprised us both by how much he liked it!


Our entree contained a ton of food, like sirloin, chicken, pork, tuna, shrimp, and lobster tail. Sadly, I didn't really enjoy the entree that much. It was a little disheartening since I don't like seafood, so Ross got the majority of that dish! At least the sirloin was good :) My other favorite part of the meal...dessert! We ordered the milk chocolate fondue, which came with pieces of brownie, pound cake, cheesecake, strawberries and bananas. Simply put....it was delicious.

Lastly, our waitress knew that we were celebrating our anniversary (which was funny when she asked, b/c when we told her, she assumed that we were still dating, since she started to go on about how her and her boyfriend's 1-yr. anniversary was coming up soon!), so she offered us a free celebratory toast of champagne. I wanted to do an *awesome* pic of us linking our arms together and drinking, but Ross would not cooperate. O well...just trying to recreate our wedding toast ....loser.... *ahem* Anywho, moving on..... here is our *un-awesome* toast pic....

...which was caught in the middle of dessert, so you can imagine my eagerness to get back to the chocolate fondue.

Even though we decided that we will probably not eat there again, we had a great night out and a great experience! I DO want to note though that we decided to forgo gifts this year in order to do a "nicer" dinner, in case any of you were wondering how we could splurge on a more expensive restaurant. Unlike last year, where we celebrated at Sir Pizza :) .....now THAT, is the way to girl's heart!

Happy 2 Years Ross :)
