FORT MYERS, Fla. - If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day dinner that’s more than just steak and roses, 'The Melting Pot' in Fort Myers is turning up the heat with a dining experience made for romance.

The fondue restaurant is offering a special four-course Valentine’s Day menu designed for couples who want to slow down, share, and savor every bite. Guests start with a fresh salad, followed by a cheese fondue course featuring classics like creamy cheddar and rich Swiss blends paired with bread, apples, and vegetables for dipping.

Owner and operator of 'The Melting Pot' Fort Myers, Chris Keys, says this isa experience people come for time and time again, "This is our Superbowl. It's one of the busiest days of the year. We order 100 dozen roses for this."

The main course brings the interactive element that The Melting Pot is known for. Couples cook their own selections of filet mignon, shrimp, chicken, and lobster in simmering pots of seasoned broth or oil right at the table. It is a hands-on experience that turns dinner into part of the date itself.

Dessert is where the night ends on a sweet note. The restaurant’s signature chocolate fondue is served with strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, brownies, and pound cake, perfect for sharing and lingering a little longer at the table.

The Fort Myers location is also setting the mood with candlelight, rose petals, and optional add-ons like champagne toasts and flower packages for couples who want to go all out. Restaurant staff say Valentine’s Day is one of their busiest nights of the year, with reservations filling quickly as couples look for something memorable and intimate.

This Fort Myers Location has won several 'Golden Fork' awards for their incredible service, something Keys says is important at the Melting Pot, " This is an experience for people. On Valentine's Day or any other day of the year, we make it the best it can be."

For couples who want an evening that feels like an experience rather than just a meal, The Melting Pot is offering a way to turn dinner into a celebration of connection, conversation, and chocolate.
