Nice place to eat. Husband ordered ribeye. It was cooked to his liking. I had soup and salad. Salad was fresh and frispy. Potato soup is different. It's not the think soup kind, more like watery. Very little potato pieces. I left more than half of it. Wait staff was very kind and attentive.

The last few trips we’ve taken to Copper River have been great experiences, between the service and the food, this time being no exception. The food was great per usual, but what truly stood out today was our server, Vina. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so well taken care of from start to finish, and she did just that. Vina was kind and attentive, without being overbearing and just an all around absolute pleasure. We definitely be back to see her!
