Twin Creeks inside Silverton Casino Lodge will feature signature boutique bourbons and innovative new menu created by classically trained Chef Matthew Alba.


Sixteen tempting starters offer the perfect something to nibble on while striking up conversation in one of Twin Creeks' many secluded dining areas.  Selections include maple cured salmon and golden beets ($9) with saffron potato and crème fraiche, colossal pan seared scallops ($12) with tangerine lace, sea beans, brown butter and blood orange sauce, American Kobe beef Carpaccio ($12) with Asiago custard, watercress, truffles, and fried capers, and roasted artichoke and petite licorice salad ($10).


Twin Creeks' new entrée menu includes a selection of the finest steaks and delectable seafood dishes to indulge in while enjoying the restaurant's intimate, chic atmosphere.  Steaks include 8 and 12-ounce filet mignon ($24, $30), 28 and 40-ounce prime porterhouse ($38, $68), prime 16-ounce New York steak ($36) and 18-ounce bourbon barbequed bone-in rib eye ($28).  Other options include crispy sea bass ($19) with fingerling potatoes, fennel, artichokes and Mediterranean broth, double cut Elysian Fields Farm lamb loin chops ($32), stone pressed mason's chicken ($18) with toasted couscous-pilaf and lemon confit and roasted monkfish ($21) with bacon bread pudding, butternut squash and bacon crème.


Setting the trend for the rest of the city, Twin Creeks will feature a wide selection of boutique bourbons and mixed drinks created by Master Mixologist, John Dupont.  Nestled within the room's wood floors, ceiling beams, sheers and candle niches, the redesigned bar will provide casual dining and conversation while serving 14 unique concoctions and 15 brands of bourbon.


The Rat Pack Man-tini ($12), Twin Creeks' adaptation of a classic 1950's cocktail originally called the Rusty Nail, contains 1.75-ounces Baker's Bourbon and 1.25-ounces Drambuie.  After combining both in an ice-filled mixing glass, the Rat Pack Man-tini is strained into a martini glass garnished with a lemon twist. 


When the first ever "cocktail" was created in 1830, it was served in an egg cup and contained cognac instead of bourbon.  Today, the Silverton Sazerac ($12) is Twin Creeks' variation of the first ever cocktail.  This liquid libation combines 3-ounces Maker's Mark Bourbon, .5-ounces Absinthe, .5-ounces simple syrup and three dashes of Peychaud bitters.  The Silverton Sazerac is served on the rocks inside an old fashioned glass with a lemon zest coat and lemon spiral garnish.


The Old Fashioned was first mixed in 1934 in Louisville, KY and combined Kentucky whiskey with a mixture of fruit and sugar.  Twin Creek's will serve the New Fashioned ($12).  This modern version on the Old Fashioned combines 2-ounces Basil Hayden Bourbon instead of whiskey, two dashes of Angostura bitters, a slice of seasonal fruit and a splash of simple syrup.  New Fashioned is served on the rocks along with freshly muddled seasonal fruit, sugar, soda and bitters.


Beginning Tuesday Dec. 4, Twin Creeks will be open 5 – 10 p.m. Sunday, Tuesday – Thursday, 5 – 11 p.m. Friday – Saturday and closed Monday.  For more information, please visit www.silvertoncasino.com.
