THE MINT STEAKHOUSE
HISTORIC RESTAURANT
Grill Your Own Steak
970-468-5247
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.

The “Tandoor” is used for tandoori meat preparation and baking tandoori breads. It is an earthenware pot, which is about four feet deep. The upper half slopes inward, thus presenting an opening about a foot in width. It is fired and heated with charcoal. The tandoori preparations tend to have a unique “earthy” taste about them!
Since the medieval ages, India has been the cradle of vegetarianism therefore, it is not surprising to find the choicest and most delicious vegetable preparations. Even the humblest of vegetables are coaxed into a rare delicacy, and can take their place at the most lavish dinner table.

India’s Restaurant has consistently been ranked among the top Indian restaurants in Denver and is often referred to as the best Denver Indian restaurant by its followers.
Indian cuisine is the general term for the wide variety of cooking styles from India. Indian food is almost always prepared with fresh ingredients along with delicate mixtures of many different fresh and dried spices
Indian breads are unique unto themselves. They have no counterpart in English or continental cookery. Unlike the breads of Western origin, Indian breads are not all leavened. Tandoori roti is baked in the tandoor, and is most popular in Punjab due to he fact that they are real delicious if consumed while still hot.

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.
