Randy picked the location for this year's office party out of a coupon pack back in November. It was for 'Sutter's Mill' about a mile from the Simi Hills Golf Course where we were playing. I'd seen the ad many times over the years but never paid much attention. I don't even have a good reason, I just never took it seriously. Not smart. They specialize in prime rib which is one of my all time favorite 'special' dinners and the place has been around for 50 years. I called a few days before to make the reservation and some old time miner/cowboy answered and took the info. He finished with "I've got 4 of you at 5pm looking for Prime Rib....you'll get it" in his grizzled voice.
We lit that menu up with an order of Potato Skins to start. Sean and I each enjoyed a 20 ounce cut of the kitchen's finest. Rare please with the sauteed mushroom floater and some of those loaded, twice baked potatoes. That whipped horseradish was nosewatering. I love that stuff. My mouth is watering as I write this. Pat, our resident steak expert had the Chicken Scampi?? A misfire for sure. Randy rounded out the order with a Prime Rib Sandwich on Garlic Toast. The bar was inviting with it's cozy decor and stiff drinks. The food was excellent from top to bottom and the gold-rush area decor was a cool little quirk. Even the servers were dolled up in hoop dresses. I'd go back here any old time pardners, say the word.
