Awesome Happy Hour with a great view!
I absolutely love this place. My friends and I have decided to make it a montly thing! They have a great happy hour with half priced drinks and appetizers – make sure you look for the HH next to the items on their menu – THESE are the ones that are on special. They have three big screen TVs that I noticed, each playing a different game, which I LOVED. Once it gets dark out, head out to the outside patio for a gorgeous view of the OC and if you are lucky (like we were) you may even get to see the fireworks at Disney! The servers and really nice and very accomodating. The food is excellent! I can’t wait to go back each month!
Dishes Tried:
Prospector Prime Rib Sandwich
Such a delicious, juicy piece of meat on bread. the meat was a little on the fatty side but the 3/4s of it that I did eat were delicious!
Spinach Artichoke Dip
Huge portion, comes in a bread bowl, really yummy! Definitely share with someone (or two) and it is a happy hour special so its like $5.50
Fried Calamari
I am pretty picky about my calimari! This stuff was pretty good, not the best, but I wasn’t grossed out by it! This is also a happy hour special so I only paid $5.

huge portions w/fine view
if you’re looking for a big hearty meal of solid american food, then orange county mining co. is your place. they serve steaks, ribs, fish, and other seafood entrees along w/access to a full salad & soup bar. the salad & soup bar alone is enough to leave you full, but you’ll have a huge entree dish awaiting you as you slurp down your last spoon of soup. one of the best parts about eating here is the view — amazing at night.
salmon – much like their signature halibut, fairly tender and juicy. buttery, orange colored sauce on top also helps moisten it up. not too crazy about it since it felt not so healthy, but wouldn’t mind ordering it again. i might actually prefer it to the halibut.

Great Buffet
We had family from out of town and came here to meet. I found it online and hoped it was good… Killer location, easy to find, and had great panoramic views. Oh, the food, a complete buffet lacking nothing! No problem that we had a vegetarian with us…she by-passed the carving table…We had almost filled up when we found the pasta bar! My favorite was the freshly made waffles and the chicken crepes. My cousin said the tamales were very good. My boyfriend preferred the dessert table with its variety of pastries.The champagne was free and they filled it often without being asked along with mason jar ice water glasses; the coffee and soft drinks were extra.
