    I had a reservation and waited about 5 minutes to get sat which was fine but when seated I asked to be seated by the window since it was my mother in laws first time at oc mining co. So we had to wait an additional 10 minutes although the table was ready for us to be seated. We went to celebrate my mother in always birthday and I had stated that on the reservation. I noticed other people had a birthday cake to celebrate and we did not even though I had added that on the notes for the reservation. It took a while to receive our drinks although we placed the order before the table that got there after us… other than that it was an ok experience.

    Great service. Expecting so much more for the price of the Sunday Brunch. The food was worse than mediocre, the entrees were often empty, rhe salmon was godawful, the desserts were pretty but absolutely tasteless - and they had donuts as dessert. What the heck? And the donuts weren't fresh and weren't good. At almost $50 per person plus $9 fee for parking, this was our first visit and our last visit. Sadly, the service was outstanding.

    Dined here on Dec 21, the weekend before Christmas. We were able to get a reservation for 4 and were seated next to the window with a panoramic view. The valets and hosts were polite and helpful. Once seated, our server was right there and had a great attitude and was most helpful. The salad/soup bar was fresh and well-stocked. Our main courses of prime rib, filet mignon and bass were all cooked to perfection. Would definitely come back.

    The salad bar was really small. It used to bigger and actually could be called a salad bar. It’s pretty sad right now. Just the basics. If I knew it was that small I probably wouldn’t paid the extra cost.
