Copper Grille - Copperopolis

Place is friendly and well run. Course is challenging and fun . The course is both wet and dry as it looks like water puddles off the hills and settles into valleys. Lots of water traps which I was surprised to see as it looks dry in this area . The people living here are close knit and friendly . The restaurant serves decent food and is a beautiful resort restaurant. Carts are fast and clean.

My partner and I were staying locally for our anniversary weekend and this dinner was something we were looking forward to. We were sat quite quickly but then no one spoke to us for 25 minutes. We had to wave someone down to finally be served. There was no apology for the delay but we shook it off. The food itself was good but the service continued to lack. No refills or check ins once we got our food. Fast forward to the dessert menu we ordered the creme brulee only to be told 10 minutes later they sold out earlier in the day. Understand things happen but after such a poor experience it was the icing or lack there of on the desert. Since once again no apology or attempt of making the situation better. Coming from the restaurant industry myself I know sometimes there are just bad days. However it was evident there was no manager in sight and no customer service values being instilled in the staff. Would not recommend unless you're there to golf and want a drink only.

Since the golf club changed hands, the ambiance and food have gone a bit south. It used to feel warm and inviting with wood and trees and tapestries. Now everything is grey on grey on grey and cold and uninviting. Granted we only come once a year while on vacation, but it was always a highlight. The last two years, not so much. We were told to just choose a table there were 5 of us. Once we sat, menus were given. We had to ask for wine list. Someone came by and asked if we wanted anything to drink. I ordered champagne. She acknowledged me and walked away. Didn 't take a drink order from the other 4 at the table. I 'm still not sure what her actual roll was, because the bar tender was also the waitress. She was overwhelmed with lunch crowd . Three tables and some golfers at the bar. But no one was helping her. We eventually called her over to order. Lovely young woman. Waited a long time for food. And it was subpar, even for a golf course. I had tuna salad sandwich, which was tuna with tarragon and nothing else. A bit dry. The pickle was like leather and the coleslaw was so sweet and chunky it was inedible. Two other parties ordered the club sandwich. It was decent, but very dry. No mayo or lettuce. Another party ordered the quinoa salad. She said it was a lot of lettuce and veggies and not much quinoa. But mostly the Dijon salad dressing overpowered everything else. When the bill FINALLY came it was wrong. Took her two times to fix it. We were splitting the bill and the manager screwed it up. Took her and two other people another 10 15 minutes to reimburse wrong charges and get the right amount of split. Basically, once we finally got the bill, it took 20 minutes for them to settle the payment. The waitress/bartender was lovely and friendly. The view of the golf course is divine. But, I don 't think we 're coming back. Slow service, mediocre food, and inept manager.

The service was awesome they were very polite. Enjoying the view while watching the golfers

What a pleasant surprise! The food was delicious. I had the Cobb salad and my husband had the French Dip. We chose a table at the window inside on the 18th hole which was pretty amazing. It was very bright and clean. Our server was new, but did a very good job. The bartender was pretty busy with golfers, but found that he could have communicated with our server since they were out of the beer we ordered and it took a while for her to find that out. Otherwise, we'll be back!
