1. Minturn Saloon

4.4

Price: Expensive

• Mexican / Southwestern • Minturn

Located in the heart of the old railroad and mining town of Minturn, the Saloon’s building dates back to 1901. During the last one hundred years it has been, at one time or another, home to various taverns, restaurants and even back room gambling for railroaders. While the last five decades have seen the development of Vail and Beaver Creek resorts just seven miles on either side of Minturn, the town’s appearance and feel retains its historic Colorado roots. Recently under new ownership, The Saloon has undergone a complete renovation and reopened in November of '23 with a fresh new menu and updated space. Chef Anthony Mazza's menu features slow-cooked short rib and pork cheek and Colorado River Ranch wagyu steak. The nostalgia and historical memorabilia and photos remain. The space still feels like The Saloon, but carried into the present day. Enjoy a resurrected Colorado Saloon and feel the history all around you.

From the creators of Sweet Basil in Vail Colorado comes a fresh, innovative new restaurant opening December 2012. Aptly named Mountain Standard, this rustic and relaxed tavern aims to set a new standard in the Vail valley by using an ancient form of cooking.The majority of Mountain Standard’s menu will be prepared via the most primal cooking method: over an open and live wood fire. The only restaurant in the valley to devote themselves to this age-old way of cooking, the food at this exciting new restaurant will have rustic, bold and honest flavors, focusing on the purest ingredients in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.Service, like the cuisine, will have that perfect balance of providing a first class dining experience with a more casual vibe. There is no smoke and mirrors here - no fuss - just simple, honest, from the heart service and cooking. The beauty of the creek side location is mirrored by the high energy vibe of this dynamic restaurant.

Fabulous birthday lunch. We each ordered something different. The birthday girl really enjoyed her hamburger. The second gal liked the walleye, but thought a lot of breading. My chicken salad was good, but preferred last year’s preparation more. The apple pie was a surprise winner, as we weren’t sure about the addition of bacon.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Slope Room tonight! We took the recs from Jackie, our waitress (although she made us feel like a friend by the end of the night!) and ordered the cornbread & beef tartare for starters. They were both innovative and delicious! We then had the trout and Yukon gold mashed potatoes for our entree! The trout was light and touched on all the different palate notes! We ended the night with the s’mores baked Alaska which was divine! We loved our meal and the service and will definitely plan on returning the next time we are in Vail! MIKE FROM INDIANA…. YOU DEFINITELY MISSED THE MARK ON THIS RESTAURANT! 😂

We really enjoyed the evening even though it started out difficult. We had one in our party in a wheelchair and noted that on the reservation, but they initially tried to seat us upstairs. They did find a place for us on the patio. Restrooms were downstairs and inaccessible.
