The Restaurant, the Bar, the Employees were top notch. Then comes some secret shopper, or maybe not even a secret shopper, and just a bored guest affiliate. Came reppin south Detroit corporate, asking to get her merlot shaken...to inspect cherry tomatoes, and the cleanliness of cups and such. Bragged about the riches, buzzed, etc, etc... killed the vibe. Less of that please.

This small restaurant/bar in on the grounds of the Holiday Inn Desert Club Resort. This is a resort hotel for members and guests in a gated community but I did verify with security that non-guests can enter the property to visit the restaurant. We were on the property as guests for four nights. We dined in the restaurant for a late lunch as well as another evening for drinks and snacks. We carried out breakfast because it was easier to just carry it back to our room while still wearing jammies. Note that their breakfast menu is available till Noon. The portions are more than generous. The Club Sandwich is huge. The Breakfast platters are enough for two people to fill up on. The Nachos. Oh, don't get me started on the Nachos. Just check my photos. Ashley was our bartender/server and she was very nice. There are two or three screens on sports channels at the bar seating. Around 12 tables in the dining area which seemed to get full quickly in the standard breakfast and dinner hours but carryout is not a bad plan. They provide all the condiments, etc that you need!

So far we've dined here three times and the food and service has been great! Comfortable atmosphere and very convenient when you're vacationing on the property. Linguini with Meatballs, Fried Shrimp with cocktail sauce & fries, and the Steak & potatoes so delicious! We're definitely going to dinner again before we check out! Yes, I recommend dining at the Gold Mine Bar & Grill.

Good Service the manager was great and the chef Darnell H. was very accommodating. I needed a vegan meal so he was able to make me a vegan philly sandwich with sautéed veggies, mushrooms,spinach,cabbage,peppers and onions. it was season's very well!!!! and the thin cut steak fries were perfectly made. Very good!

We stayed for 4 days and everyday we had breakfast that started with wine and tequila! Everyday the food was good gave me a dinner feel and I loved it!
