Lander

About the restaurant

Located in Lander, Wyoming near the foothills of the Wind River Range, Mulino is a small town Bistro with big city inspiration. Chef/Sommelier team Joe and Angela Hammer of Philadelphia are at the helm, creating dining experiences for Lander's locals, adventure seekers and tourists passing through town.
The menu offers seasonal flavors and showcases local ingredients as often as possible. Chef/Owner Joe Hammer utilizes a classic background training in French culinary arts to craft fare that is comfortably approachable, yet exciting and adventurous for those who wish to wander off the beaten path. A frequently rotating international wine list, seasonal specialty cocktail menu and local beer selection keeps the beverage program fresh, while appealing to a wide range of palates and price points.
Inspired by the history of the old mill building in which it resides, the decor and name "Mulino" (which means "mill" in Italian) are a nod to the significance it has held in the town o

The crab-corn dip with house-made tortilla chips (flour) was excellent! We both ordered the short ribs and were similarly delighted and satisfied. This is a wonderful gem of a restaurant in this fantastic little town. Love this!

About the restaurant

The idea for The Kitchen came from a vision of a restaurant that would provide something different - a refined, yet casual establishment that would provide modern cuisine with a comforting twist. The cuisine at The Kitchen embraces Asian influence and ingredients including the freshest fish, meats and seasonal vegetables. The presentation is clean, simple, natural and uncomplicated. The beautiful and elegant architecture of the building mirrors the contemporary concepts in the food.
