This is a favorite destination. I would typically rate it with five stars. Something, not quite sure what, was off the last time we visited. my wife has always loved the Miner's Filly with their Bearnaise sauce, I love the salad bar and the Shark or Swordfish depending on what they have when we come.

The flavors were not up to their usual high marks for either on this visit. The Swordfish had a "blackened" type of treatment, which I normally would love, but didn't this time. My wife was disappointed with the Bearnaise sauce and her steak, again, just not up to its usual high marks.

While the food was still passably good, it would not be worth coming back for given the length of time we have to drive to get there from home.

In the last two decades, we have never been disappointed until now. We may give it one more shot. But if we feel again as we did this last time, we will opt to go somewhere more local where we can rely on the food being up to high marks.
