Fresh cheesy bread served hot and a chilled Pie Tin for their salad bar. Oh, and the French Onion soup with the cheese bread is life changing

Our server, Belen, was absolutely fantastic! So patient, knowledgeable, and fun! She took such great care of my grandparents the entire evening and hope to have her as our server again!

Our reservation was 5:15pm, with last reservations at 5:30. The roast carving station was slicing the meat so thin, it was like lunch meat thin.. that really upset me, I asked for two slices and I thought I was in a food rationing line and this was the last Roast till the next food drop. Other things were out, there was a huge gravy container, and two trays, one Salmon and one ribs, empty. The desert selection were also few and not being restocked. Here's the lesson, don't make a reservation for the last half our of food service, because the kitchen is shutting down already.

Buffet options weren't great, not many options to choose from. The downstairs buffet had more options to choose between which made it hard for some of the elderly in our party to go downstairs. Turkey was dry, stuffing was very salty.

I love the Mining Company but the Thanksgiving buffet was not good. The food was barely lukewarm. the green beans were watery and mushy, the Turkey was dry, th ham was barely heated and in a watery oversweet glaze and the ribs were fatty. The pies were served in the pie pans instead of sliced and put on small plates People dug into the pies and left a big mess. my apple pie was still frozen and the pumpkin pie was loose and raw. My main concern was the temperature of the food so I definitely did not enjoy the meal. Very disappointing.

It has been 4 years I have visited this restaurant in different locations. I am not sure why but every year, while my experience with a server is great, my experience with the check in and reception has been really bad. We had 6 in our party and they always put us the booth where we have issues with in and out. We have 2 seniors and they are 84 and 82. Not sure why always, we sit such a uncomfortable desk. I had experience asking table last year and the lady said they did not have. This year, the lady in reception said the same thing. I have no plan to going back and look for another restaurant from next year. Not a good experience while trying to enjoy the Thanksgiving meal. Also, ladies in the reception, I think they should be more friendly. I know it was busy but we paid to eat.

The manager, Kristin, was amazing. She was outside supporting the valet, inside supporting the hostesses and maintained a friendly positive attitude toward staff and customers. Jana, our server was delightful. It was an unusually busy night with a parkinglot that looked like a rush hour traffic game. You would not have known how chaotic it was outside since Jana and Kristin were truly grace under pressure.

We were there with a big group. The servers were patient and efficient. Food was great!

Everything was amazing from the food to the staff and even the other restaurant patrons were all friendly and welcoming. What a wonderful experience. The meat melts in your mouth and the garlic cheesy bread was delicious.

We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary at Orange County Mining Co., and it was such a wonderful experience! The view was beautiful, the food was great, and the service made the night even more special.

A special thank you to Sonali, who gave us the best service ever — she’s always smiling, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. We absolutely loved her positive attitude and warm personality. She really added joy to our evening. Highly recommend this place and Sonali’s amazing service!

Please do yourself a favor & ask the waiter for no salt or light salt. My steak & rice was way over salted. (Wife's also)Spoiled what could have been a great meal. Mud pie is awesome.
This has to be one of the best locations for an anniversary date night. Staff were great location & views amazing .
