Where would we be without our dear old dads? Thankfully, we get a chance at least once every year to celebrate and appreciate our fathers, on Father’s Day, which is just a week or so away. If you’re considering dining out with dad on Father’s Day, here are some tasty options. 

If you’re looking for a special treat for dad on Father’s Day, the folks at Park City’s Alpine Pie Bar have some suggestions. Stop in from Noon to 6 p.m. on Father’s Day for the perfect gift – whiskey aroma games, VSSL flasks, apparel, or the limited release of Alpine Distilling’s Triple Oak Whiskey available only at the retail store at the Alpine Pie Bar. Only 100 bottles will be released to the public with a limited number available with a custom box.

Lunch, brunch or dinner with Dad at Caffe Molise would be a delicious choice on Father’s Day (or any other day, for that matter). For lunch, treat Dad to a perfect panini or one of Caffe Molise’s killer pasta dishes. At dinner time, perhaps the bistecca is in order: it’s a cooked-to-perfection beef tenderloin marinated in the chef’s secret recipe, served grilled with a wild mushroom and truffle cream sauce.
