    Absolutely top-tier dining experience! We came to ELDO Chophouse & Kitchen and every detail hit the mark. The absolute highlight of the meal was the shrimp and crab cakes, packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and let the seafood shine without being heavy on filler. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service. We'll definitely be back!

    Excellent Food, Great Service, and Memorable Ambiance! Reminds me of Hero's Ranch Restaurant in my original hometown of Saratoga, CA. Highly recommended

    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.

    I enjoy myself all the time. Food is full of flavor. I have not had one bad meal yet! The vibe is very nice whether it's drinks with friends ,date night, solo dinner, AMAZING happy hour , phenomenal drinks , and great time with the family. I'd advise coming for happy hour to try a little bit of everything. It's worth it. And pretty decent happy hour menu price point.

    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!

    Man.. I wanted to love this place. We need a place like this, but they totally missed the mark... by ALOT. Came here on a Sunday afternoon with some friends and we all ordered drinks and entrees. Drinks were so pretty and so delicious 10/10. Our waitress was nice but also seemed spread thin? Our food came, my steak was dry, and not a memorable plate. My husband ordered the chicken sando and that was ok. My friend ordered a breakfast sando that came after we all finished eating. My gf ordered a salad, and it came undressed and the shrimp was raw... I don't think more needs to be said about our experience. Our waitress was totally professional about it and comped half the table - on the receipt it said it was her error which I disagree with, but we appreciated the accountability.

    I have been here multiple times sitting at the bar or grabbing a table, absolutely amazing vibes inside, great atmosphere classy crowd, and good food and drinks.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

We ordered a shishito pepper appetizer & breaded fried portobello mushroom fries which were delicious & plentiful. The dining room is elegant & relaxing with very attentive service & fair prices. It is a little difficult to locate in a mixed industrial complex but is like a different, peaceful escape once you're inside.

Whether you're in the dining room or in the tasting room of Dry Digging Distillery, you definitely take a step back in time with the atmosphere. 2nd, the food and craft cocktails are phenomenal. The menu offers a little bit of everything without overwhelming you with options. The quality and flavor of the food is absolutely perfect. You can tell the chef takes pride in the food he serves. The seasoning is always spot on and the portion size is perfect. The shocking thing is the price... I was pleasantly surprised given the quality, freshness and portion size of the food at how reasonable the price was. For this level of dining, they could easily charge more and it would be worth it and I'd pay it. The variety of cocktails they serve is fantastic... I've tried multiple and they all have great flavor. The bartenders take pride in providing you with a great experience with your drink. Must try the plum whiskey sour... it's ridiculously good. 3rd the service is incredible. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by friendly staff that are genuinely excited to see you. They are invested in ensuring you have a great experience whether you're there for cocktails, food or both. They are always very accommodating on reasonable request. The staff always make you feel like you're more than just a customer. I can't say enough good things about the staff. They really did gather a unique group of people to ensure you have a great experience. It's off the beaten path a tiny bit however very well worth the extra couple minute drive once in EDH to visit. Down the street from the Tractor Supply store. A lot of heart, time, care and energy went into opening this place. The attention to detail in the atmosphere, gathering the right staff and securing a chef who cares about the quality of food that is served is no easy task...and they did it. This absolutely is a must try place!!!

But how could I know that experience (and the service!! OMG the service!!!) was going to be so outstanding, that I would come back again the next evening to eat again?? 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 next night was burgers, and brews, and bloody Marys - and again, the most amazing thoughtful, interactive and attentive service I have ever seen! And being a business owner, I can tell you that it's not enough to have a beautiful setting on the river with great views and a decent menu. Having servers, managers, bartenders (hell even the bussers had smiles and were polite and friendly) absolutely seals the deal. I really have no reason to go back to to El Dorado Hills in the near future other than work, but because of this single restaurant experience, I can tell you I am trying to find more reasons to return!
