“Especially here out west, we broke the mold and brought fondue to the masses in a way that hasn’t been done ever,” Wheeler said, who started at The Melting Pot as a server.
The restaurant has come to be a popular destination for a romantic night out. It has rebranded Thursday as “Thursdate,” with a special four-course spread to offer couples.
The third course includes a selection of premium filet mignon, teriyaki-marinated sirloin, herb- crusted chicken breast and Atlantic salmon.
The Thursdate drink menu lists the Love Martini, which contains Malibu rum, peach schnapps, cranberry juice and strawberries. The meal finishes with a white chocolate-flavored fondue melted with sparkling wine and garnished with fresh strawberries and whipped topping.
The historic building was originally built in
1897 and was home to Littleton’s first public library. Over the years, it has housed a police station and jail, a discotheque as well as several different restaurants. A local
landmark, the building
and The Melting Pot
were featured on an
episode of the Travel
Channel TV show
“My Ghost Story.”
There is even a
framed certificate
declaring it as
officially haunted.
When asked if he’s had any ghostly experiences, Wheeler tells of goosebump-inducing accounts, but also says he has a good relationship with whatever resides in the restaurant. The mystique of having an encounter only adds to the experience of a unique night out.
