    Came with my family for a birthday celebration and had a good meal. We started with some cocktails which were great and the lobster rolls that were seriously fantastic. I got the halibut which was good but not my favorite. The ribeye special was tasty and the miso cod was great! We sat outside which was lovely and our server was so kind, we loved chatting with her. I'd definitely try this place again!

    Mexican corn

    Been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got a chance to the other day. It was a Monday and they had an all day happy hour menu. We like to sit at the bar, so we found a spot that was surrounded by dirty dishes and squeezed in. It was a few minutes before we were acknowledged, and eventually got our drinks. Checking out the happy hour menu, we decided to go with a few small plates. We tried the Mexican corn, sausage and flat bread, fried chicken with cornbread, and crispy nigiri bites. Everything was fine, but nothing was great. If we would have paid full price, it would have been deeply disappointing. At this point we were still surrounded on both sides by dirty dishes. The vibes at the bar were not fun. Cocktails were ok. I can't see myself going back here unfortunately.

    Hamachi shooters $20

    Found this place on Yelp. Food was very good! Enjoyed their happy hour menu: hamachi shots, crab cakes and lamb chops! All super tasty The truffle fries we kept looking for the truffle taste but didn't find it prominently on the fries. They were more like well seasoned garlic fries. We ordered their 20oz charred rib eye with stacked potatoes and broccoli split three ways along with pork chops with mashed potatoes. Both dishes were delicious. We'd come again for sure! Nice middle point from SL Tahoe and Alameda The only disappointment was the service. Getting the food was great, taking plates away when finished didn't happen. For an upscale restaurant, leaving empty serving plates and dining dishes was poor. 3 out of 5. I won't leave photos of them here.

    Came once for dinner and the food was great. What was better was finding out about their Happy Hour. Service was prompt, food came out fast, drinks were delicious, and you can sit outside on our beautiful spring days. We had the crab cakes, truffle fries, oysters, and pappardelle. The cocktails were beautiful, food was great, and prices were even better. I'd highly recommend Happy Hour here. Great for a date night too, but deals are always a steal!

    I was very fortunate to go to an event that was partially catered by ELDO, Hamachi Shooters have been on my mind ever since. Needless to say, I have been looking forward to dining at the restaurant. Pulled up on a weekday, service was pretty light but I still sat at the bar. Place is very nice, great ambiance, excellent place for a date night. I came specifically for the Hamachi Shooters and they were well seasoned and flavorful but lacked any textural contrast. Delicious but some type of wonton crisp or chip (or cone) would've definitely set it off. Still a banger but there's other things I'd try next time. Octopus was cooked perfectly (which is not easy, hats off to the chef) and had a great balance in flavors. This was an adventure in Potato Salad but I enjoyed it nonetheless. If you like octopus, I'd say def worth the order. All in all, great experience and will def pull up when in the area, 4/5.

    My family and I dined in on a Monday night with reservations at 6:45pm. We were very excited to dine here since we were celebrating my dad's retirement as a family and I have read great reviews so far. We sat down and waited 10 minutes until we were greeted by our server. We had to ask one of the employees for waters and menus, menus were given but waters were not filled until we asked again. While we sat with this unwelcoming feeling, I noticed that tables around us were constantly getting checked on which was disappointing since we had to ask for the menus and waters. We finally were able to look at the menu and then placed an order. Our appetizers did come out quickly which was nice. We ordered the octopus and crab cake appetizer. Both items were tasty so no complaints for the food. After the appetizers they cleared the table, and then the main dishes started to come out. All dishes were presented nicely but they forgot to give us new utensils so the food was sitting at the table for a couple of minutes and we ended up having to ask for new utensils. But, they did forget one main dish which was delivered 15 minutes after everyone else and our server did not seem to care. Food - 3.5/5 stars Service - 1/5 stars Overall, the food was tasty but I do not recommend as you can find better restaurants with more friendly and welcoming service for the price. :(

    Living in El Dorado Hills I was happy to hear about this new place that had opened up. Went out this New Year's Day and totally loved the ambience, the decor and everything. They are understaffed and this is the only reason I deducted a star. Despite being understaffed our server did her best to keep everyone attended. I am hoping this is a one off because we would definitely want to visit them again. Food was wonderfully cooked and all the dishes were delicious.

    When you walk in, there is a huge bar centered here. It is beautiful decoratively speaking. The staff were really nice and service was quick! The food was packed with flavor. Truffle frites were really delicious, crispy fries 9/10. Crab cakes: 9/10 sauce was delicious, portion was great and the crab was sweet and slaw was good. Lobster roll: 7/10. Your classic lobster roll. Brussel sprouts salad was good. 8/10. Day boat scallops: 9/10 everything was cooked well and delicious flavors. Bolognese papardelle 6/10, the noodles were harder than Al dente. Difficult to chew. Not enjoyable. Steak was cooked perfectly and had flavor to it. 8/10. Mexican shaved corn, a play on elote on a stick 7/10. Octopus 8/10. Cooked well. The presentation on dishes were good. All in all, I would return and recommend this place.

    This was the worst restaurant management experience I've had not only in Eldorado Hills, but in totality. We arrived as a group of six with a 7:00 PM reservation for a birthday celebration and were not seated for over an hour because the table reserved for us was still occupied by a previous party who had been there nearly 3 hours, even after already finishing their meal. Despite repeatedly asking the hostess to check on the situation throughout the hour and manage the overstayed table, nothing was done. There is no area for waiting guests, so we had to stand next to other tables near the bar. We ultimately escalated directly to the owner and told him we were prepared to leave and dine elsewhere. The owner specifically told us he would "make it worth our while." Only after that conversation were we squeezed into a small 4-person table. While waiting to be served, we watched two other parties go through the exact same situation, both having to escalate to management just to be seated well past their reservation times. On top of the 6 person party that refused to leave after their meal was finished, there was a 20-30 person corporate party playing holiday games where throughout the night, the owner was drinking and socializing with this group, even sitting at their table, while multiple reserved parties stood waiting, frustrated. We spoke directly to another party who had a 7:30 PM reservation, and they shared how shocked they were by how we were treated. They weren't seated until around 9:00 PM, and only after complaining themselves. After about 1.5 hours, we were finally situated. As part of the owner's promise to "make it worth our while," we were brought complimentary rosé--which was bottom shelf, undrinkable, and largely left untouched. This was in no way appropriate or meaningful remediation. Food was mixed at best: - They were out of the truffle Parker house rolls, which was the item I was most looking forward to - Garlic shoestring fries were good, but no one cared for the Greek fries - Chicken cornbread was flavorful, but the chicken was dry - Burger and scallops was decent, but caesar salad was soggy and not great - Vodka chicken parm had far too little sauce - Wagyu filets were fine - For dessert, the birthday guest received a caramel popcorn sundae, which unfortunately had extremely stale popcorn--so stale it felt impossible to chew. It was left completely uneaten What makes this experience even more frustrating is that we personally witnessed other late-seated parties receive far better remediation: one party had their entire meal comped, while another received free appetizers in addition to the rosé. We definitely did not feel like our special night out was "made worth our while" after still paying a $500 bill. There is a deep issue of mismanagement here, made worse by clear favoritism. The owner was visibly cozying up to certain tables while completely neglecting others--specifically guests who had reservations and were waiting far past their scheduled times. This is not a one-off mistake; it reflects total mismanagement. Check my reviews- I've dined at a lot of establishments. The correct approach that is best practice in industry is: - Actively manage table turn times by clearing tables that have finished dining and have passed their reservation allotted time - If the restaurant is absolutely behind schedule, stop accepting new guests and suggest they come back another day - Treat all parties the same, not just the ones you choose to socialize with This restaurant's inability to manage reservations, hold overstaying tables accountable, and fairly remediate impacted guests--especially while the owner prioritized socializing with other parties--made this an experience we would not recommend.

    My husband and daughter (2 year old) came with a reservation at 6pm to enjoy a lovely dinner for my birthday. Parking was easy and the space has outdoor seating, too but it was a bit cold that day for that. We were able to get a high chair for my daughter and the service was attentive and accommodating. We asked for the cornbread from a dish only and they were able to accommodate just the bread -- and we loved it! So good! We had the following too: - Mexicano shaved corn: so flavorful and limey - loved it! - crab cakes: great but least memorable of all dishes - brioche parker house rolls: love my bread and especially when warm. The truffle butter was also delicious with it but the bread can totally be amazing on its own already - yiayia's green garden salad: love the pine nuts and citrusy taste - grilled octopus: my daughters favorite and we enjoyed it too - braveheart fillet: decent but not as memorable as I'd hope - bolognese pasta: too salty and the noodles were too hard - least favorite dish. - two tickets to paradise mocktail: delicious drink with and without alcohol (husband had the alcohol) Overall, really enjoyed the experience and space. Seating is a bit close to other tables as it was hard to slip in and out of our chairs when the chairs behind us both sides were already at its max spacing too. Also wished they had dishware and utensils that were safer for little ones - I was worried my daughter would mess up their ceramic plates. Food was good but some improvements could be made.

    This is the spot in EDH, aka El Dorado Hills. The ambience was suited for a causal and semi causal wear. The interior design and decoration was appealing to the eye, very elegant and fancy if you're looking to dress up for the evening. Once seated, the service was amazing. Our server was very attentive and on point, whether it was topping our drinks and kept a manageable eye on our table. The cocktails were delicious with a touch of greatness . The old fashion was to die for, mixed adequately to perfection. The espresso martini to die for, the amount of liquor was perfect. I love this drink. The food, the lobster rolls were delicious, cooked perfectly with the amount of butter. Just delicious. The chicken parmagiano was huge in serving, topped with pasta, very tasty. My sugestion, share this meal. The food was amazing. Overall, This restaurant gets a 5/5 , just amazing. I will be back for sure!

    Chicken Parmigiana Alla Vodka
 (chicken cutlet | mozzarella | parsley | vodka sauce | tagliatelle)
    David H.

    First time here, and I was impressed with both the menu and the reasonable pricing. I had some reservations going in after reading a few Yelp reviews, though most of the criticism centered on service rather than the food. I'd agree that the service could use some refinement, but the food overall was very good and I will definitely return. Our table started with the fried chicken and cornbread bites, which did not disappoint. I followed that with the chicken parmigiana, which was exceptional. The tableside presentation--adding the sauce, pasta, and cheese at the table--kept the generously sized chicken portion from getting soggy, and it was fried perfectly. The only miss on the food side was the Bolognese Pappardelle, which needed salt. Once adjusted, it was much improved. Service issues included inconsistent water and beverage service and a lack of follow-up after food delivery (we had to track someone down to get salt). That said, these were minor issues and wouldn't keep me from returning. They also have a nice-looking bar and what appears to be a solid happy hour menu. Looking forward to trying that next. PS. The shoestring fries (that come with the burger and ribs) are spectacular too!

The first night it was happy hour, with a spicy jalapeño mule, buffalo cauliflower, smoked Brussel sprouts, and a couple of beers. But the service was so attentive (almost too attentive) that we felt like we had to watch for gaps so we could take a bite or a sip in between folks checking in to see if we needed more food, more refills, or just a friendly hello!

The ambiance was lovely and the service was warm and attentive. We were seated outside on the patio directly in front of the fireplace overlooking the skyline, and the setting itself was beautiful. That said, restaurants offering outdoor dining should be especially diligent about ensuring tables are thoroughly cleaned before guests are seated. Unfortunately, our table had bird droppings on it upon arrival, which was extremely off-putting. Thankfully, once addressed, we moved forward with the evening and ordered drinks, which were excellent. As for the food, I have to admit it was somewhat underwhelming. I ordered the filet mignon pasta, a dish I absolutely love at South Fork, but the version served at Sienna tasted entirely different. It lacked several of the elements I typically enjoy, including the crostinis and spinach, and the overall consistency and flavor profile just did not compare. Overall, everything was simply okay. The atmosphere and service were definitely the highlights of the evening, but the dining experience itself fell short of the expectations I had based on my experiences with South Fork. We may try it again, we'll see.

My husband had to send his lemonade back because it was carbonated, but they fixed it right away and it was perfect. The poke nachos was stacked high with crispy wonton chips and diced raw tuna with a spicy aioli sauce throughout. The buffalo chicken wings were sauced just right and still a little crispy. I heard the server tell another patron they can do bbq sauce or naked if you do not want buffalo sauce. The flatbread pizza wasn't as crispy on the bottom as I'd like (probably because of all the toppings) but the edges of the crust were good with a nice chew/crispy ratio. Overall, food was delicious, and at half off, definitely worth it, Since there were only a few patrons in the restaurant at the time, it was fairly quiet, but I've been when it's packed, loud, and lively. Iron Horse Tavern is always a good choice for lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, and especially for Happy Hour!

I did not read the salad area menu to know that bacon came on it. I don't eat pork and had asked for my flatbread to not have bacon and the salad to not have crutons if they put those on; wish the wait staff had mentioned the bacon on the salad bc I had already asked to have the flatbread without and also bc it's unusual imo to have it standard on a ceasar.

It was just amazing!Great service too !

    Had a nice dinner with my bestie here today... the restaurant is beautiful! We opted to sit outside…read morebecause it was such a nice day .. the outside seating area was cute.. we shared our appetizers .. the steak & potato and fish & rice plates .. the steak and potatoe was delicious! Steak was made well done though when we asked medium well .. the potatoes were soft and yummy. The fish & rice was great! A fried ball of flavored rice topped with a thick cut of seared tuna with some I believe unagi and spicy mayo sauce.. it went well together! I loved it! My main dish was the braised short ribs .. it was so tender you did not need to cut it with a knife! 2 thumbs up! My friend's main dish was the seasonal pasta add shrimp... I didn't try it but it looked delicious Our server was great! He was attentive and made sure to come by to refill and ask if we needed anything ever so often. Perfect place for a nice sit down and chat and enjoy some delicious food

    I'm giving Lazy Dog in Folsom 5 stars because I grade on a curve and just endured dining at BJ's in…read moreRoseville. What a dive that place is! I've already given up on Mimi's Cafe. I wouldn't give that crap to my dog! Anyways, I was a bit PTSD after that and didn't have high hopes for LZ as I view them the same type of dining establishment. I could not be more wrong. Everything BJ's did wrong, LZ did right. From the host counter, to seating, to even the smell of the place, it was right. Table spacing, right. Decor, right. Waitress, right, right, right!! She took our order and didn't even have a pad or pencil. I thought well, it's just the two of us, but I saw her at the next table, 4 people with lots of options and she didn't need to write a thing down. We started with drinks and candied bacon. Just great! Hardly anyplace has diet coke, only Pepsi, but LZ has my diet coke. Thank you! We each ordered from the $15 menu. Me some sort of BBQ bacon cowboy burger thing and my wife had shrimp tacos. I asked for medium rare and it came medium rare. The lettuce and tomato slice were cold, the burger hot and the bun warm. Right, Right, Right. I substituted fries for onion rings and got plenty. The oil was good, not the freshest, but that's o.k. too. Some sort of dipping sauce, no ketchup, but after tasting the sauce, I didn't need any ketchup anyway. I did salt the burger and rings, but that's just me. Most folks would find them seasoned well enough as they were. The meal comes with individual sized dessert. I had some sort of brownie/ice cream thing which was awesome! My wife had the banana pudding. It was exactly like homemade. The wafers were fresh, not soggy, the pudding cold and chilly. While the brownie was warm with gooey sauce and a solid scoop of ice cream. All was right with dessert. The only thing I would have liked was our waitress to check on refills, but I did fine as it was a tall glass to begin with. We were on our way to Harris Center for a concert and this was a great place to hang out before and probably after too, if we were with another couple. No left overs, we ate every bite and enjoyed ourselves. We will be back regularly.
