DINING SECRETS RESERVATION PLEASE
Many restaurants no longer require reservations. Yet, it’s always best to ask instead of risking a long wait or being turned away. This is especially true if your party is large or you have an unusual request. A Restaurant who doesn’t normally require reservations often take them on busy weekends or holidays. When you make a reservation, honor it and be on time. No shows cost a restaurant money and create delays for other diners.

A wonderful and unique place to drink, relax and enjoy a self-grilled steak! Near the banks of the Blue River, in Silverthorne is the oldest restaurant in Colorado, The Mint Steakhouse. This rustic steak and seafood restaurant, who’s building and atmosphere reflect the rich history of Colorado, dates back to 1862. To put it in perspective, that is one year after Colorado became a US Territory and fourteen years before it was admitted as a state. It’s first drinking establishment was the Jack Ryan’s Saloon where thirsty miners relaxed between shifts. Over the years the Mint Building survived many disasters and today is the home of the Mint Steakhouse, featuring a seasoned Lava Rock Grill where you cook your own steaks, seafood and chops.
The Mint serves only the finest quality USDA Choice meats, offering the biggest, best quality steaks at the best price out there. The meat is prime, and with little effort and a lot of fun, you will enjoy a great meal cooked exactly to your taste. Their all you can eat salad bar, wide range of sides and homemade teriyaki sauce will make your meal complete. The owners are more than happy to guide you through the grilling process from start to finish. themintsteakhouse.com

DINING SECRETS
What to Wear When Eating Out
Dress codes in Colorado reflect our casual western life style of boots and jeans, and very few restaurants will turn you away because of dress. A few of the more exclusive restaurants where the tables are set with white linens, fresh flowers and sparkling crystal, require your best bib and tucker. When in doubt, over dress or call ahead and inquire. Keep in mind that your dress determines how you are treated.
Sending it Back There is an art to sending back food and wine that is not cooked to your specifications. The restaurant wants you to know when something is not right. Never loose your temper. If there is something wrong, tell your waitperson right away, in a firm , calm, rational manner. Don’t eat or drink it then complain. In most cases the issue will be resolved right away. If you find your waitperson to be indifferent, ask for the manager or owner and quietly make it clear you want a replacement. If you don’t happen to like your selection, just make the best of it. You can’t expect a Colorado Dining Guide
Page 12
restaurant to make up for your lack of judgement. You have a right to expect a good experience, please don’t leave a restaurant with any unspoken grievances.
HOT TIPS Think of your tip as a way of showing appreciation for good service. The rule of thumb is to leave 15% of the total bill for average service and 20% for exceptional service. On the other hand , if you receive service with a snarl instead of a smile, leave a 10% tip. If you leave nothing at all the waitperson will assume you’re just ignorant and not get the point. On your way out,
explain to manager that the service was bad and you want your 10% to be pooled so that the remaining staff members won’t suffer because of one bad waitperson: this gives you a chance to be nice guy and to register your complaint very effectively.

THE PERFECT MARTINI What exactly is a properly made martini? James Bond’s favorite blend is two parts vodka, one gin, AMERICAN and half a part Lille. The vodka gentles the gin, but REVOLUTION there’s still a hint of juniper to spice things up.
IN BEER
BREWING, A NEARLY LOST ART IN AMERICA IS BACK AND IT’S BAD!
Known for our independent way of thinking, Americans are demanding freedom from stale, bland, uninteresting commercial beer. Like our forefathers (Thomas Jefferson had his own brewery and George Washington’s favorite brew was Porter) beer enthusiasts want the distinctive taste of American made genuine craft-brewed beer. The brewing industry has evolved at an astonishing rate. Buy a microbrew and you get a remarkable brew not found anywhere else. There are a wide spectrum of gourmet brews, including fresh draft lagers, amber ales, stout, porter and wheat beer. These tasty elixirs, who’s recipe dates back 10,000 years, has made and exciting revival. Colorado Dining Guide
