THE MINT

Part restaurant, part ultra-lounge, The Mint occupies a 7,000 square foot space that was previously a bank, giving inspiration to the name. In a nod to its past, The Mint’s centerpiece is the original vault door, while updated touches evoke a Hollywood Regency design influence. With every detail carefully considered, the interior features rich materials including dark woods and cohiba marble to create booth seating, fireplaces, a luxurious 30 foot bar in the main room and a specialty champagne bar in the co-ed bathroom. The interior space is highlighted by a state-of-the-art retractable lighting system that shifts the mood from intimate to expansive as the night evolves from dining to nightlife.

Audible pleasures progress throughout the evening with eclectic house and pop fostering energy as the day fades to night. If fresh air is your fancy, The Mint boasts the largest restaurant patio in Old Town Scottsdale; 4,500 square feet dedicated to al fresco drinking and dining, resort-style cabanas, in addition to traditional arrangements. Indoor and outdoor combined, The Mint’sthree unique bar experiences will invite discovery and ignite excitement.

The menu, crafted by Executive Chef Johnny Chu, offers reasonably priced tastes of gourmet pan-Asian cuisine, artfully presented on small plates. The tapas menu highlights Chef Johnny Chu’s novel creativity with traditional Asian dishes through items such as; Loganberry Shrimpwith a spicy peanut dipping sauce; Wasabi Sliders with charcoal grilled beef marinated in onions, peppers, curry seasoning and topped with pickled wasabi; Flash Fried Sugar Cane Pork with pineapple ginger sauce; and Japanese Green Tea Cheesecake. In addition to Asian delights, diners have perfect pairings available with an extensive wine and sake list. For the experience seeker, handcrafted cocktails are available infusing local ingredients such as theQueen Creek Olive Mill Dirty Martini.

The Mint is the brainchild of Dean Slover, an established Valley restaurateur who has recently seen great success with Scottsdale nightlife/dining concepts that include Sandbar, RnR, as well as concepts in Las Vegas.
