Mint Steakhouse

Been coming here, I believe, since my son was 6. He is 40 now!Seated promptly and Nicoli was our server. She was friendly, attentive, and an excellent server. Salad bar has good tasting ingredients. The blue cheese dressing was too thin/watery almost, but tasty. The Texas toast with butter and garlic powder, slightly burnt, is always something I look forward to. 16 ounce NY strip was an excellent cut, I am a minimalist in terms of seasoning when the meat is good -- so just a little garlic powder and a little Worcestershire sauce for my steak. It's always a good time watching people put 12 things on their steak as they grill it, turning their meat 15x. Just a 1 1/2 minute char in each side and 5 minutes a side in a hot part of on hit part of grill, with just a bit of flame. Perfect medium rare and a charred exterior. Yum! Sides good too - French fries, broccoli, and baked potato. Excellent Pinot Noir, that Nicoli picked out. Large pour!Great meal and fun at the grill. Place is cozy but can get really crowded. Go early.

Let me start off by saying wow!!!! My parents have always wanted to come to the historic Mint Steakhouse, today was a first for all of us. The concept of the restaurant is you will be seated order your drinks and appetizers through your waiter, after you order you can help yourself to the all you can eat salad bar and all you can eat bread and butter. Once you're ready you will go choice your cut of steak and then take it to the grill to cook your own steak. The restaurant itself has been her for many years and hasn't change since opening! The old school style butcher restaurant is very warm and welcoming. I will definitely recommend this restaurant as it was some of the best memories I have had!

I went in with very low expectations since I find that restaurants near ski resorts are always overpriced and not worth the price.This place was so good! The salad bar was SO good and I'm not one to like salad. Everything was so fresh. The lettuce had no pink spots and the tomatoes were firm, juicy, and sweet. Honestly everything was so fresh, I went for 3 plates! The meats were fresh and it was fun to grill your own meat! Our waitress recommended we got the stuffed mushrooms for appetizer, and boy am I glad we got them! It's stuffed with garlic and cheese, so delicious that we ordered 2! Everyone was friendly and service was great. I highly recommend! The meal was reaonsably priced as well.

Located between two more contemporary buildings, this is a steakhouse with a twist. You get to select your own protein (chicken, meat or shrimp) and a side.The side gets brought to your table but the protein you get to cook yourself. There's a sign on the wall that tells you how many minutes to cook something depending on how you want it.Service was no frills, friendly, courteous. Our server was very knowledgeable. Tables felt a little on the small side but you make it work.Walking in to the restaurant, it feels like you're stepping back in time.Oh! The price of a small but delicious salad bar is included.

One of the oldest bars in Colorado has the best bartender I've found west of the Mississippi. If you're in Summit County, then you gotta go here.Sliders made from ground steak trimmings were superb. Dean, bartender knows how to pour, banter, and tell a joke or two!Music was terrific, outdoors seating is dog friendly, salad bar is small but satisfying and stocked with good quality produce.

I love this place. I've been here many times over the years and it's always been a favorite.I love picking out my own steak and cooking it myself to my liking. I love the old time vibes. Booth seating, and the old saloon decor.It's a shame that the restaurant is now surrounded by such ugly urban looking buildings. It gives the outside a very out of place feeling. It feels like the restaurant is the old man's home in the movie "UP". I miss when there was nothing but open space surrounding the mint.The mint will always be a favorite of mine.

A visit to The Historic Mint is an absolute must while in Silvethorne and I'm here to share why. The building itself dates back to the 1860's and is still standing today. The bar area you immediately walk through was the original watering hole for thirsty miners back then. Now it's home to great eats and wonderful service. With it being our first time, we leaned on the staff to share personal and guest favorites while explaining the process of how it works; order your drinks and appetizers at your table, head towards the butcher to pick your choice of meat and take that to the grill to cook it yourself. The grill area comes equipped with all sorts of seasonings and spices, oil, butter, tongs, not to mention the opportunity to chat with locals or out of towners around the grill. And you can never go wrong with an all you can eat salad bar and toast, for free. Pro tip-- ask the staff for a sauté pan and throw some onions, peppers, and/or mushrooms in the pan and then on the grill you've got yourself some grilled veggies. You're welcome. The stuffed mushrooms appetizer was out of bounds; cheesy and packed with flavor. The choice of meats are pretty self explanatory pending on your personal preference. If you're not a red meat person, there's also seafood and chicken available as well. Super cool experience if you're in the area. Especially if you know what you're doing on the grill. Thanks for the hospitality.

Amazing service from Amanda- who gave us the best history of The Mint & also Dee, who was so fun and made phenomenal drinks!! They were so sweet and brought me a birthday dessert that looked like a baked potato! What a surprise!! Wonderful, cozy ambiance

Thanks TomYou Asked us to come back again and we did last night. The steaks were delicious along with the great salad bar and the twice baked potatoes that we ordered as sides.A cocktail was ordered for $8.50- quite the deal. Our waitress was cordial and friendly. Sorry we live 1,200miles away, but we will definitely be back on our next ski trip to Summit County!!

Experience is very unique. Friendly service, simple menu. Well run. Definitely must eat here if staying in Silverthorne
