The Copper Mine Restaurant — Restaurant in Virginia

We decided to spend July 4th weekend at resort as a getaway with some friends. Once you are at the lodging, food choices are limited depending on the day of the week and time of year.

We wound up at The Copper Mine. The first time was for dessert. My spouse had the chocolate gelato which was icy. I thought o.k. maybe we just got an old batch.

On Saturday, we tried a hot dog from the stand that the resort was running. That was just o.k. and not great.

We decided to try dinner on Saturday at the Copper Mine because we wanted a hot meal, that was not pizza or a sandwich since choices are also limited in town off resort. The calamari was just o.k. It was a little undercooked, but I thought o.k. the marinara was not bad. I tried the main as the Chicken Parmesan. I ordered it with everything on the side so I could control how it was constructed. The marinara may have been the same but it was not great. It had very little herbs and spices. The spaghetti was sort of dry and overcooked. The chicken itself also had very little flavor. My spouse had the chicken Marsala was which was also very flavorless with very little sauce.

As a premier resort, I would hire a new executive chef and re-vamp the dishes that are served. They can and should want...

I was not explained how a family style meal works (Thanksgiving Day) and so I ordered a meat for my 9yo daughter and a meat for me, along with an appetizer for her and for me. I to the waitress that I was only paying for the two of us (I have another 6yo daughter.) The price for my meal was bc $60, and the price for a child under 12 is $15. I thought $75 was pricy, but for thanksgiving I decided to just do it and not spend any other money the rest of the weekend. My total came back as $174. I told with the manager and she removed $15 from my receipt.

I expected the $60 to come off and she would not do that. She told me the servers are told to explain “family style” To the guests, and I told her ours did not. She walked away. I am so upset and frustrated. I feel taken advantage of, robbed, and treated unfairly. I should have paid $75, and I walked out having paid...

Three years ago I wrote the review below. Unfortunately the Coppermine is not the restaurant that it used to be. It has reopened and is not good. Service is simply poor. We did not get items which we ordered and items came out late, even after we had finished the meal. The food is not good also. Sadly, the food was served barely warm and appeared to have been plated well in advance. The prime rib was flavorless and tough. The baked potato was cold and the bread was stale. We won't go back again. I was going to try breakfast at the Coppermine, but now I'll be going to the Market and making my own breakfast.

THREE YEARS AGO--" Enjoyed a very good prime rib and baked potato. I will definitely go back for that meal. My son's desert was excellent. Service was great with no issues. I was impressed with the...
