Dinner was splendid!! 🤌🏽... Third time here, this time had the thick juicy flavorful one pound prime rib with hearty mash potatoes. Salad bar had a nice variety of items including my favorite beef barley soup. Definitely recommend this place.

Food and drinks from the bar were good but menu was surprisingly small. Chicken was juicy, but needed more sauce and seasoning. Clam chowder soup was good. Did not appreciate that we were forced to valet with payment just for our car to be parked 10 feet away from the entrance

Prime ribs were cooked to perfection. It Sooo good, but only ate 20% of it. We order the loaded fries (OMG)! Believe it was pulled pork over. 🥗 bar and soup, too...

First time having a dinner there. We've visited this site for events but never actually dined there. I can honestly say it was a very good meal with perfect service. Cost was at a minimal for what you received and I mean that I a good way. In other words, not over priced. Meals were cooked to perfection. Definitely worth going to again.

Attended a banquet. The atmosphere is great, just like other Mining Co. restaurants. This one is much bigger than where I've been. I gave a 4 for the service because this was the first time I've experienced to be served last on our table. In many restaurants, women are all served first, then men. Serving is plenty. Beef was a bit chewy.

We try the Sunday Brunch. For the price. The selection was 👌. Unlimited mimosas. The view of the city was nice. It was worth the wait. I do recommend making a reservation.

Saturday evening reservations for hubby and I to watch the sunset. I personally have not dined here in almost 20 years and don't know why it took me so long to come back! The staff is friendly, attentive and they made sure we were seated at a perfect table. My Pomona Paloma and Miner's Margarita were delicious. Hubby loved the Pickin' Mule and also had a Granma's Medicine. 👌 We had the Prime (medium rare) with scallops and 14oz Angus Ribeye.. both melt in your mouth. The cheese bread was okay and I love a good salad bar. We'll be coming back to try out their Sunday brunch soon!

Update: We went last night and wow, big change in pricing. The chicken plate went up $10 from 28 to 38 and you no longer get a side. You have to pay $6 for one. We were told many years ago by the server to bring a bottle of wine because the corking fee was only $8. Last night, they charged us $20. I asked the manager, and she said it's always been $20, but that was incorrect, and she had one hell of an attitude. Between the price increase and managers, I don't think we will be back. It's so sad we loved this place. We have been coming here since 2005 and tonight was the best it has ever been. Our server Alexis and staff were amazing. The food was perfect, oh that rice and beef soup is out of this world, don't forget about the cheese bread.. I can't wait to go back.
