Melting Pot in downtown San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter delivers multi-course fondue dining from 901 Fifth Avenue, where tableside pots of cheese, broth, and chocolate anchor a four-course interactive format inside the historic Gaslamp Plaza Suites building. The entrée course lets each guest cook proteins — teriyaki-crusted sirloin, sushi-grade ahi, kiwi-lime shrimp — in styles including Coq au Vin, Bourguignonne, and Court Bouillon, a hands-on tableside technique distinct from the raw-to-plate preparations at Crudo Ceviche & Oyster Bar downtown. This Gaslamp location is operated by Cohn Restaurant Group as part of the national Melting Pot franchise, seating up to 175 guests across a two-story dining room inside the historic Gaslamp Plaza Suites. Gruyère, Raclette, and Fontina cheese fondue melted tableside in white wine opens each meal, while the chocolate fondue finale — Raspberry Dark Chocolate or Birthday Cake White Chocolate — closes the progression with fresh fruit and cake dippers. The full bar pairs wines and cocktails with each fondue course through a seated four-course tasting format, a paced approach that contrasts with the drop-in cocktail service at 207 at Hard Rock Hotel San Diego nearby on Fifth Avenue. Full-venue buyouts with family-style endless entrée service configure the 175-seat dining room for rehearsal dinners, corporate celebrations, and milestone events built around the four-course fondue format.
