   The waitress seemed bothered we got served three cokes. All three were flat. No carbonation. Menu stated cheese enchiladas. None were out. A bit disappointed on some of the food. Prime rib a bit fatty. But would def come back. Glad that the brunch is finally back.

   The food was excellent. We all had something different, and everyone said that it was delish. The service was great. Our waitress Alexis was very sweet, funny and efficient. There were a lot of graduation parties and pre-prom parties the night we went, so it was a little crowded, but normally, it’s just the right amount of people. The drinks were expensive for just a regular pour, but I figured everything has went up in price. We had a Kettle one vodka, a Hendricks gin and a blue moon, and it was 41.00 and change. We will go agai

   Took a long time to get our drinks. Waitress was nice , was trying , but I think she forgot our drinks. Also, our food took a long time to get. More than usual in many other restaurants. Not sure if they are understaffed or overloaded.

   This was our second time here. We came out at camped at Bonelli Bluffs specifically to come here as a birthday dinner and brought our friends who have a 5 and 10 year old. It was very clear that they were busy with a banquet and graduation day. Unfortunately, this was probably the reason food took 1 hour and 20 minutes to be ready. Our server Missy was very nice. It did get frustrating at times because the table behind us was so loud, it was a struggle to even order. I think they should have been politely asked to quiet down. If people can’t even order over the volume that’s coming from your table, that’s a problem. Overall the food was good and Missy was nice, it was just a busy, understaffed, night.

   Parking is ridiculous, I used to have the choice of parking my vehicle or have valet park it for me. 98 percent of the parking lot is reserved for valet. The 14 oz top sirloin had an extreme amount of fat . I expected a much better cut of meat considering the price. The prime rib was tasty. The wild rice was too salty for my taste buds. They have staff constantly walking up and down the walkway clearing up your table of dirty dishes. It made me feel rushed especially when I had 3 asparagus left on a dish of mine and the busboy tried to take it away. I emphasize on 3 asparagus because you receive 7 for $5 bucks. Before the pandemic I enjoyed serving my own salad with my choice of toppings. Now the salad bar is closed to the customer's and you are given three choices of salad, or soup.

   sign stated valet parking only but no price. We had four vehicles in our party of 7 and were charged 8.00 per vehicle cash only. Raining when we left and no shelter to wait under. Hostess was rude twice. They really need some manner classrs. There are too many nice restaurants around that we can park our own cars at. We will choose one of those in the future. Definitely won't be going again

   The food was okay. The bartender was rude. We ordered a Manhattan and he asked us what whiskey we wanted to use. My husband told him we were here not too long ago and you made really good manhattans and the bartenders response was I have no idea who you are. Instead of just picking for us since we were leaving it open to him considering he made good ones last time. He could’ve answered that different. So I asked him what was the most popular or what did he recommend and he just seemed very uninterested. Our table was wonky and would shake with any movement causing our drinks to spill. The food was okay the ribeye was over cooked, the filet undercooked. For dessert our cookie was stuck to the tin making it really hard to eat. For the prices of the food there is definitely room for improvement.

   Very diverse food choices. Food very tasty and served, approximately, hot or cold. Beverages great. Server friendly and attentive to needs. One of our party used a wheelchair. Accommodations made. Fortunately, no problems using handicap parking space. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

    Having brunch could be me simplified if it were not spread over three areas. While I heard from my server where the food was I had no idea I'd missed one area having the best food and desert until on my way out. Honestly I couldn't here myself think because there people behind me were loud. I've loved this place for 30 years but got my fill for awhile.

    Had to wait 15-20 mins last reservation time. Service was good! 42 dollar ribeye was 60 percent fat on it and I spent so much time cutting it off that I didn’t eat any and took it to go. Just spend the 3 extra dollars to get the filet mignon. Otherwise a good experience !

    The restaurant is showing its age, notwithstanding the them of the building & grounds. It was a bit noisy. The drinks were not good (we both had margaritas). Both were strong & sour. I should have had a red wine. The buttons below allow yes/no only, I am not sure I would recommend the restaurant.

    Food was very poor quality and not worth the price of Sunday brunch. They even charged $27 for kids brunch for my two year old that only had milk we brought. When you walk in there’s a host stand that no one is at and you have to go downstairs to a second host stand but if you’ve never been there before you just stand at the one up top for a while before you realize to look for someone. They charge for “valet” that you have to park your own car. Food stations were dirty and dropped food everywhere that no one cleaned. There was not even a place to put the serving utensils down , so people just touch the tongs and put it back on top of the food. I hope regular service is more sanitary but the brunch is not.

    View: very very nice Service/staff: very friendly and polite Food: my husband said the omelette was great. I enjoyed the carne asada, menudo, salsa and champagne, bbbq ribs too. Sister and husband didn’t like the white fish. I just didn’t like the idea of passing the check in with our food, not very ethical I wish there was the same food on each side so you don’t have to go to the other side. My Son was disappointed there was no extra topping at the salad bar. And I thought made they would have little containers/cups for salsa, butter,dressing etc.. and cold plates for your salads. Around the food , should have been cleaned up once in awhile, it was messy. I would go back but not for the buffet. Also I didn’t see sanitizer.

    This was my third time at this establishment but first time for a special occasion event. I booked 3 weeks in advance to have the opportunity to celebrate Mother’s Day brunch. The initial wait time after checking in was 20-25 minutes. My understanding is to allow ample time for the table runners to have time between tables. After we were seated, the table did not have silverware. The gentleman who helped us was very efficient however the ladies who came to our tables to assist our assigned man, were condescending and very rude. On one occasion my mother asked if she could have paper napkins and she said we do not have any. My mom said thank you and I waited to see another employee, Immediately after asking she brought a handful of paper napkins. Now let’s talk food. At 40+ dollars a person, you did not get quality food. Many stations had empty dishes, some salad options were slimy and there was gnats on the fresh fruit. The carving station had dry meat options. In all I would not return nor recommend this establishment.

    The Mother's Day Buffet was good, however, parking was a mess! The restaurant was not very clean. The buffet was hit and miss, but overall pretty good. The bartender had the best service and cocktails! Probably won't revisit, was very chaotic ambience.

    This was my first time visiting Pomona Valley Mining Company. We had a large party for Mothers day. First of all, I have to give a shout out to the the manager. I initially made reservations through OpenTable but so many family members wanted to join us that I had to call to increase the number of people coming. The manager was so patient and accommodating to us. Because of him, our family was able to celebrate together. The service was OUTSTANDING. I don't recall seeing so many smiling faces, and such great attitudes, from such a large staff, on such an insanely busy day. I feel like they all went above and beyond to keep us happy. Even when they could not accommodate a certain request, you could tell that they had tried their best or were simple following the rules. The staff made us feel welcome and appreciated. Now for the food; it was fresh and delicious. The temperature was appropriate for each of entrees on the buffet. There was a great selection of food items and the chaffing/warming dishes were always replenished. Although the venue was packed, we never felt crowded or rushed. Overall, my entire family felt that the experience was wonderful. We will definitely be back to try the regular menu. Thank you Pomona Valley Mining Company staff for helping to make our mothers day great!

    Mother's Day brunch was a disaster and not worth the money. The food was NOT worth $48 pp nor was a childs plate for $28? They thought they would try to capitalize on the holiday even more so by charging $8 for valet parking and that was a complete sh*tshow and very organized. The line just to get your car or ticket was unbelievable. People just started parking in the valet without even paying and no one noticed. Food was very mediocre and cold! Oh and there's a 2hour limit at your table, which was not told at time of making a reservation and let me tell you, at the 2 hour mark, they were quick to get you out and even give you a time warning. This was not a relaxing brunch by any means. It was unorganized, rushed, lacked quality and overpriced. Would never be back for an event.

    Went for Mother’s Day weekend on Saturday night. Unfortunately, there was much to be desired. The food took a really long time to come out, and my steak was cold. The waitress was wonderful and I’m sure since it was a busy weekend things were backed up on the kitchen. Although I understand that I went on a busy weekend, the wait for food was just too long. I’m still not sure if the food was worth the wait. It was more than fine but nothing to be blown away. At the very least, we had a spectacular view of the city and our waitress was very nice. I would maybe try to come back on a non holiday weekend.

    Service was really great. The margarita my husband had was not too good. Was more filled with alcohol and not much mix…he said it was more like a shot. If he wanted a shot he would have ordered one….that’s the only complaint

    We have been coming to PMC since I was a child, and I am 37yrs old now. We were deeply disappointed by the poor planning of your event staff. Apparently, there was a wedding reception planned the same day as your scheduled Saturday MOTHERS DAY BRUNCH, which made the parking situation disastrous. Our reservation was at 12:30pm and we were in line for the valet for at least 1 hour and 15 mins. We had two vehicles since I live in the SGV area, and my parents and brother reside in Ontario. We finally instructed our elderly parents to walk in to have brunch while my brother & I continued to wait in our cars for parking. We joined my parents and the end of their meal since they started to have brunch without us. The whole point was to spend time together as a family for Mothers day, yet we had to eat together at separate times. This experience was a complete disservice to your customers as well as your team member to have to endure upsets customers with circumstances that were beyond their control. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive, as well as all the surrounding staff. I would encourage to revisit your planning structure for events of this nature so that this does not happen again. I'm sure you lost business since we saw many vehicle leave the long valet line due to the extended wait times. Do better PMV, in this type of environment, you do not want to lose customers due to poor planning.

    We have been to Pomona Valley Mining Company before so expected great things. Not so much this time. There was ZERO parking. They were HORRIBLY disorganized. We were 30 minutes late to our reservation that we arrived for 25 minutes EARLY, just because the parking situation was so bad!! We sat at long tables with people we did not even know...... Almost picnic-style. The place was PACKED. We ended up parking at the bottom of the hill in the carpool lot and taking an UBER to the restaurant up the hill. It was not a great Mother's Day brunch to remember. We had done this same day/experience twice before and were HORRIBLY disappointed in this time. Would only recommend PVMC for a friend on a normal day, NOT for a holiday/special occasion.
