Reviews
The place was packed when I arrived so we had to sit at the bar area.
I can’t accurately rate the service due to this but we did eventually get someone to wait the table we were at which I was thankful for.
We started with chicken wings and fried Brussels. The wings were terribly overcooked and dry, and the sausage in the fried Brussels was also overcooked. The Brussels themselves were tasty.
I ordered a Mineral salad, which arrived with the entree. The salad itself was just okay—there was not much flavor.
Entrees:
Roasted Half Chicken:
It was extremely overcooked and dry. My 12-year-old son likened it to the turkey from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It had no flavor whatsoever.
Scottish Salmon:
It was also terribly overcooked. The sauce and potatoes were good and had a nice flavor, but the salmon itself was bland and very dry.
Summary:
I had very high hopes for this restaurant. When I booked my trip to Leadville, I was excited to see the menu and read the reviews for Mineral 1886. I immediately made a reservation and was looking forward to a high-quality meal after a long day on the ski slopes. My 12-year-old son and I were both extremely disappointed with the dining experience. The only part of our meals that wasn’t overcooked was the potatoes.
The service was also quite lacking. Our server was very standoffish. We had to wait quite a long time for drink refills, sat with dirty appetizer plates on the table for the duration of our meal, and my salad arrived at the same time as my entrée. We decided not to order any desserts after the quality of the salad, appetizers, and entrees was so disappointing.
The updated interior of the restaurant and hotel surprised us as we walked in. We really like the way the interior is designed, modern but with that historic charm.
We waited in the rather cozy hotel lobby for about 10 or 15 minutes before a table was ready for us.
We ordered drinks (coffee + donut and a soda), and they came out fairly quickly. Our server took our food order shortly after. The food did take pretty long, however. We waited probably 30 or so minutes for our food to come out. Once it did arrive, we did enjoy our meal. Even though the green chili was very watery (smothering one of the two), the “Leadville 100” skillets were tasty.
We overall had a good experience, and most of the staff we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. We will consider Mineral 1886 on our next visit again.
