The views from this restaurant are gorgeous. You can see Disneyland fireworks from the windows. It is nicely themed inside. They have an open salad and soup bar with chilled serving pans. The food was decently cooked and you get A LOT on your plate. It makes for a nice date night spot, but don't expect amazing food. You come for the great views and setting. Our server was exceptionally nice.

Great service. Fantastic view. Neat place. Careful going up and down the mountain fmwhen you park and leave. Very beautiful place. Has this old run down, yet new underground feel. Definitely recommend. Food was delicious, although I don't know about the applesauce on the pork chop. Drinks were delicious. Recommend to try at least once for the experience up top. They also have a brunch if you're into that.

My wife and I went back here to Celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary where we had our Wedding reception. It was so awesome because another couple were there doing just what we did 16 years Prior. I Recommend to anyone planning a Wedding party to book it here.

Decided to take my wife here for date night, We walked down the steps and we were greeted right away by the host. She quickly sat us at our table after I advised her we had reservations. We both ordered the baby back ribs and a few sides. Also had a salad from the salad bar. My wife really liked the options at the salad bar. The waitress was very attentive and gave excellent service. Everyone here was very friendly, I really enjoyed the ribs. I made reservations right before sunset. The shades were closed but as the sunset they opened the shades and it really made for a romantic dinner with my wife. Everyone from the host to the waitress all long with the valet guys were great, wife and I had a great experience here.

Went for my birthday and had reservations for outdoor seating for a sunset dinner. We arrived the parking lot was not full. The two young ladies that were the hostesses told us there’s going to be a wait for the outdoor seating since it is full. We kindly let her know that we had reservations for outdoor seating and as if she did not hear we made reservations she responded that oh it’s fully booked so there would be a wait for the outdoor seating. It was my birthday and that is the main reason we made reservations. No one offered to give us window seating inside nor a comp on a drink - nothing. It was like they didn’t even care about reservations like we just strolled in last minute asking to sit outdoors. There was no apology or word from management. Me, the birthday girl - had to ask to t least be seated near the window. Just unfortunate that I even had to ask. Luckily our server at the table was lovely and we had the best service from her. Just really disappointed that reservations are obsolete at this establishment. I grew up in Orange attended El Modena high school going to this restaurant was a place that I held with high regard for comfort and service. Maybe needs to be more training on these situations and teach more empathy towards patrons that have reservations.

Great food and great service. The Ambiance based on the view is amazing. The location is great easy to get to from Imperial Highway or even the 241. I recommend the prime rib dinner and the salad bar. The drinks are strong enough try to get the tables on the outside as they are heated.

Charming decor pays tribute to California's gold mining legacy. A perfect date location. The cheese bread is a rich treat, very delicious. Try to make reservations as they fill up with special events.
