I had visited Copper River Grill several times before this visit. I took my date to Copper River Grill to celebrate her birthday. She was mightily impressed. The service was excellent. The food was prepared to perfection. I did not think it was expensive when you consider the quality of the food and the service. I highly recommend this establishment.

This place is incredible!! Love, love, love, the food and atmosphere. The menu offers choices for every dietary need or preference. The portions are huge, so be prepared for a to-go box.

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.
