The Melting Pot is a unique chain of fondue restaurants in business since 1975. There were several locations in Connecticut, including one in New Haven, but all closed. In 2023, our firm was approached by a local family with the vision to bring the franchise back to the state.
The new location is within a mixed-use building that was most recently a parking lot. Prior to that, it was the site of the New Haven Coliseum.
Our project scope included a fit-out of the entire 5,000 sf space.
The new restaurant seats 229 in the dining room and bar area. Outdoor seating is available for an additional 40 diners. There are various types of seating areas including a private party room.
