21 Best American Restaurants near Minturn

“A must visit. Fantastic old-school steakhouse, great service l, strong drinks, good vibe and excellent steaks. My family went skiing and stayed at Beavercreek. Thank goodness we found this place, what a treat. It is close to Beavercreek but worlds away from the overpriced food at a ski resort. The experience cooking their own steak will probably be the most memorable from our entire trip.“

“Been to this nice restaurant many times and it’s always first class. Tonight my wife’s chicken was excellent. The wine was great. However, the Manhattan steak was not so good. The one that was brought out was extremely tough and even hard to cut into. Our lovely server offered to bring out a new one but I said I would fight through it. To her credit, she insisted on bringing out a new one and I asked for it to be Medallion cut. The replacement came out and should have been medium rare, but when I laid out the cuts it was simply very rare to raw with lots of fat as well. I simply refused to eat it and told her to just take it off the bill. To my surprise the wonderful Manager Dana immediately came over and admitted that they failed on the steak. He explained that they usually get great cuts from the provider, but recently not so much and he actually called the owner and told him they simply can’t be offering this kind of steak as this was not the first bad cut he has seen this evening. Dana did not charge me for the steak as well as the wine and offered a free desert. Dana did exactly what I’d expect a Manager to do in this caliber of a restaurant and that alone makes me want to come back again whichever we will do so!“

“From the moment we entered, the staff was friendly and accommodating. We didn’t have reservations for dinner anywhere this evening and they were happy to squeeze us in. Famished from our active day and long search for a restaurant with availability, we were ready to get down to business. They had a few interesting options on their appetizer menu. We decided on the egg rolls and a couple of signature cocktails, which all came out pretty quick compared to the amount of time and care that was probably put into each. We had a hard time choosing entrees as we love pasta, cheese, and meat (who doesn’t??) but finally settled on the gnocchi and bolognese. Both great! So great that instead of stuffing ourselves of the large portion, we tried to stop so that we would have a meal-sized portion for leftovers. Keyword: tried. It was hard to stop eating! We managed to salvage some to enjoy later and our wonderful server Eliana (sp?) packed it up for us. Throughout the meal, our server came by, to check in and never let our water glasses come close to empty. They had some yummy donuts on display near the entrance. We commented on how adorable they were. The staff was quick to offer a few to us at no charge which was really nice. Sadly, we were just too full from our meal to accept. We didn’t partake this time, but we did see a number of people seemingly come in just to browse the wine and grab a bottle to take home. They had a pretty good selection. From the exceptional service to the decadent pasta dishes, we’re coming back for sure. How this place isn’t packed to the gills on a Saturday night, I have no idea! Keep up the good work, keep doing what you’re doing!“

“From the moment you walk into the restaurant it is in a chalet. It is absolutely magnificent. The bread was so fresh and they had a honey butter that was delicious. We had Hamachi and octopus appetizer. Both were absolutely fabulous for the main course. It was a decision between the Dover soul, or the halibut. You can't go wrong with either from the atmosphere to the service to the company I was with it's a five star, definitely our favorite restaurant in Beaver Creek. If you only have one night to eat there, I would highly recommend this restaurant as your first choice You only have one night to Eden Beaver Creek this is a must“

“What an incredible place to stop at while snowmobiling at Vail Pass. We were told to stop here by the USFS, and we were not disappointed. We strolled in on a Monday afternoon and were pleasantly greeted by the wonderful staff.Once seated, we were served their homemade barbecue chips on the house. The cliff burger was a newly added menu item, and was the best burger I’ve had in quite some time. The chef made an in-house barbecue sauce with a hint of bourbon that complimented the smoked gouda over a perfectly grilled beef patty. And don’t even get me started on this fries. We had both sweet potato fries as well as their home fries, both were exceptionally cooked, seasoned, and fresh.Everything about this showed that the chef takes pride in his craft.Unlike other establishments, Mango’s serves genuine coke products.If you’re snowmobiling in the area, note that they were very accommodating with all of our gear, and provided a self serve water station. This is a must stop spot, if you’re reading this review, look no further.“

“Cool little place with delicious cocktails and food."wine-bar" isn't accurate, only had cocktails and they were all great. Food was simple but elevated and extremely well done. Would 1000% recommend this place and will be back.“

“Lance was our server and he was great. If you have not had tapas before this was great. But tapas are not a lot of food. But it's a great way to try a lot of different dishes. Really liked that it was not crazy loud. Would go back again.“

“Our favorite place in Vail. Savory, beautifully presented dishes prepared by a skillful chef. This place never stops surprising us with its unique menu and creativity. Great wine selection and amazing cocktails. Lively atmosphere, modern setting, awesome bar staff.“

“Nestled in Vail, Mountain Standard epitomizes cozy upscale dining with its inviting ambiance and delectable offerings. Despite not having reservations for our party of seven on a bustling Saturday afternoon, we were promptly accommodated, and the service was impressively quick.The restaurant boasts a wide variety of drinks and a menu that caters to diverse tastes. Our culinary journey included the hot chicken, which left a satisfying impression, complemented by delightful biscuits. However, the true standout was the butternut squash babaganoush, a flavor sensation that transported our taste buds.As expected in a tourist town like Vail, prices at Mountain Standard lean towards the higher end. However, the exceptional quality of the food and the overall dining experience justify the premium.“

“We really love this restaurant. We came here twice during our stay in Vail. The food and service are the best around. It’s not a fancy restaurant but the food is so good , you’ll want to come back again too. Great steaks and seafood for half the price of Vail Village and more for your money. Try the strip steak, salmon or short rib Mac and cheese. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The food was delicious. The service was extremely polite and gracious, but admittedly slow even when it wasn't busy, and we noticed especially because we were jet lagged from traveling all day. The price is steep, although everything in Beaver Creek is!“

“We travel once a year to ski beaver creek and always return to Up The Creek in Vail for the magnificent view. Fantastic food. Excellent service. And everything else you can think of!!! Love the kefir lime in chicken tortilla soup! I love the relaxed atmosphere.“

“This is the only true ski bar in vail. The best place to have a beer after a day on the hill. The vibes are unbeatable. I love all the art on the wall. It can get busy but the bartenders always get you a drink quickly. Special shoutout to bartender Zac who remembers me every year when I visit.“

“I was here for breakfast on three different days, and it is a quality breakfast. The Colorado Breakfast, Breakfast Burrito, and Country Fried Steak are great choices for breakfast, and the menu has a fair amount of options as well. However, the dinner is a little bit limited in terms of options. We started with the lamb meatballs, which was a decent appetizer. I also had the trout, which was definitely good, but I was expecting a little more taste wise with seasonings. The toffee ice cream ginger bread or whatever it was called was definitely the highlight of the dinner. It was one of the more interesting dessert items I have had. The dinner overall was still good, but the breakfast was definitely the better food at this restaurant.“

“Our waiter was amazing. Our 8 year old daughter lost her tooth when eating bread and swallowed it by accident. Our waiter told her a story of how he swallowed a tooth once and the tooth fairy still came. He then came out with a “tooth” molded from a sugar compound and gave it to her to put under her pillow that night. Truly above and beyond service! The food and drinks were amazing too.“

“We arrived early and went to the Sonnenalp lounge, had a drink and listened to live music. When our table was ready, we found it easy to talk around the table without yelling. The staff bent over backwards to make our time spent comfortable and all the food choices pleased each sitting at the table. My Brussels spouts side and char main plate were fantastic. We come here every time we're in Vail.“

“What a fabulous lunch. Patrick our waiter was knowledgeable, courteous attentive and cute! The food was great too. Carrot honey chicken sandwich best ever! Elk meatball sub was excellent. Fries in duck fat, there are no words. Topped off with a dark chocolate, baby guava tart…..what can I say. All Patrick’s suggestions…thank you.“

“One of the coolest local joints there. The owner is a great man. He likes to walk around and make himself known to everybody in the room when he's there. The food is excellent. The bartenders are nice. They have live music live DJs pool and not to mention the owner meticulously takes care of these pool tables and make sure that they are up to competition standards. This man is adamant about his pool tables and his pool cues. Very very kind person. I highly suggest going here. The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is great“

“Great place to catch a game or a casual meal. They've got a good setup with TVs everywhere . Their breakfast is surprisingly GREAT. We ate there more than once during a week-long stay in Avon. The service is great and the staff is very friendly. Everything we tried was excellent and they've got a great bar too.“

“From a wedding photographer's perspective, you really can't beat the Larkspur wedding experience! Stunning mountain views all around, an incredibly beautiful and intimate reception space, and can host one heck of a party! We recently photographed a wedding in the fall at peak colors, and WOW! The whole valley was ablaze!“

“Our servers were very patient with us. Nate and Ty. Such a cool concept. Food was good. Lots of stuff you wouldn't find elsewhere. But what made this EXTRA special was the guy who was in the sleigh. What a lovely person he was. And the driver of the snow cap made my sons night. Heck even life lol. What a memorable experience. Thank you to them both. I think the drivers name was Dave and sadly I didn't ask the gentleman in the sleigh, name.“
