Silver Spring Mining Co

There is a separate bar from the restaurant here. We ate dinner and got a table right away at 430pm on a Saturday. Friendly staff eveywhere. The Black-n-Bleu salad was good with the steak strips. Chrissfield burger was good but a bit overcooked. Fajitas were ok but there were no peppers, only onions with the meat. There was more lettuce and cheese than necessary too. Drinks were fine (unsweetened tea). Prices were high, parking was plenty but the parking lot is a bit dark.

Husband and I Went for restaurant week to try a new place neither of had been. Menu looked good. Walked in and was immediately drawn to the desserts. I commented on it looking good and a customer leaving said "oh it's all good" so we laughed and thanked them and felt hopeful we'd have a nice meal. We ordered. First waitress forgot to bring out our crab soup. She she apologized for forgetting. She brought them. Got meals and presentation was awful. I ordered the seafood platter and it looked like I had played with my food and just pushed it around on my plate. Oh food came but we had no utensils so waitress went to get some. Didn't bring extra napkins though. Husband said ribs were good. My crancake tasted funny but couldn't pinpoint what it tasted like. Could have been more season on my meal. Cole slaw was decent. Zucchini medley my husband said they could have been seasoned more and softer. So we tried it. Not sure if I'd recommend this place. Well let me take that back. The staff were generally friendly do from a customer service standpoint I would probably recommend. Food...... Hmm maybe not.

I ordered the pretzel sticks with cheese sauce to start and the Sour Beef and Dumplings for my entree. Simply put, I was not disappointed at all. the table definitely enjoyed the pretzels. The sour beef meat and sauce were fantastic, but the dumplings definitely had room for improvement. I can't quite describe it, but the texture and consistency of the dumplings were unlike any I have had before. I would definitely order again, but maybe next time I'll swap the dumplings for mashed potatoes.

Dinner was good! Started with Onion soup, steak and fried shrimp, side of mashed potatoes and mushrooms, and larger. The other dinner was a house salad, and blackened salmon, broccoli and mashed potatoes. Both dinners where very good. Mashed potatoes where real red skin potatoes. Steak was cooked to med rear. Definitely worth the $$.
