May 6, 2021: 5280, Vail’s Sleek Slope Room Is A Stop-Worthy Mountain Steakhouse
/Vail never disappoints, and Slope Room inside Gravity Haus’ Vail boutique hotel is not only “sexy apres scene” but curating a stunning Colorado-local menu. Executive Chef Alberto Rogelio Soto “builds seasonal menus shaped around refined ingredients and clean flavors. Soto’s resume includes Restaurant Kevin Taylor and Guard and Grace, where he perfected balanced, coursed pairings. Transcending long-time relationships with Colorado ranchers and organic produce purveyors, he keeps a steady eye on Slope Room’s pasture-to-table concept.”
“The term “farm to table,” Soto says, has lost its luster after loosely being thrown around over the past decade. He digs deeper, meeting farmers on their soil, seeing where and how animals are sustainably raised. Favored suppliers include Christiensen Ranch, Mountain View Pork, Superior Farms, Keen One Quinoa, Stare Farms, Stem Ciders, River Bear American Meats, Red Bird Farm, Strohauer Farms, Elevation Charcuterie and Artisan Meats, and many more.”
