We had a couple of friends suggest Mineral knowing we are foodies. It was a delicious dinner - everything we ate was lovely. This is worth a stop - vegetarian or not. It's true the burger is amazing.

Delicious food and great ambiance. The power to the entire town went out in the middle of our meal, but the restaurant owners didn't scramble, just gave us some lit candles (lovely dinner by candlelight). The portions are a good size and the food - oh the food - is some of the best I've tasted. The Mineral Burger was... More

We are not vegetarians, but this place sounded appealing on a warm spring afternoon. Got the burger, which was the most amazingly delicious vegi burger I have ever tasted. Go to this place - it will not disappoint.

Always looking for a vegetarian place that doesn't smell like other stuff (like meat). The beet salad with the creamy avocado was sprinkled with Mineral Dirt-an incredible combination of ground almonds, chocolate, spices and some secret ingredient. Tofu entree tasty. Amazing beer list!! This wine thing in Gold country is a little out of hand and the beer was a... More

We went here having no idea it was a vegan restaurant and were pleasantly surprised how good everything was.

An amazing meal - unlike any other. Heirloom tomatoes? Completely unique: sliced thin with tomato marmalade and a side of tomato tartare. Burger? The taste and texture belied its ingredients. And lowly quinoa? Set on the plate like a garden wall, seasoned lightly, and highlighted with tiny floral touches and a bit of mint. Every flavor was distinctive and new;... More

We were introduced to Mineral by way of a recommendation from Wendi at the Black Bear Inn in Arnold. I'm so glad we listened, as my wife and I had an incredible dinner Saturday night. The wait staff is attentive, yet not over-bearing. The wine list represents a number of Sierra Foothills AVA's finest, and they have many available by... More

Wife and I have made several small over night trips to Murphy s during off season and always found Minerals not to be open. We recently found them open for a day trip. Well worth the wait!!! Amazing meal. The detail, taste, presentation is something you would expect only at a five start type of restaurant. Initially thought things were... More

This charming restaurant could make me become a vegetarian. Neither my husband nor I are vegetarians but the day was hot, and the menu sounded so refreshing. We shared a chioggia beet salad that had so many flavor textures between the beets, the creamy avocado, pickled apricot and orange vinegar. Our main courses were a fresh corn risotto and a... More
