Grilled cheese specialist The Melt has oozed into Sunnyvale with a new restaurant at the Cityline complex. Next up will be a location at Rivermark in Santa Clara.
Creative versions of all of your gooey, cheesy faves are on the menu. The restaurant offers riffs on the Three Cheese Classic grilled sandwich such as the Sicilian Chicken (fontina, provolone on garlic bread) and the Queso de Mayo (avocado, smoked bacon, pickled jalapeños, pepper jack cheese) as well as skillets of Melty Mac, Garlic Chicken Bacon Mac and Steak Fajita Mac.

The burgers, made with a blend of Angus and Wagyu, include Swiss & Shroom and BBQ Bacon versions. And naturally, there’s tomato soup, the grilled cheese sandwich’s best friend.
A new offering sans cheese is the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, featuring a buttermilk-brined chicken breast. There’s also a hot version with spicy sauce and jalapeños.
Look for the Rivermark Santa Clara location to open later this summer.
Details: The Melt is open late, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, until midnight Friday-Saturday at 301 W. McKinley Ave., Sunnyvale. www.themelt.com
