    Lobster bisque
    Chloe K.

    Enchanted Forest is one of those rare places that feels like you've stepped into another world the moment you walk in. The whimsical fairy-tale décor, twinkly lights, and storybook details make it feel timeless... like dining inside a fantasy novel! But the real surprise? The food is genuinely amazing. This isn't just a cute theme restaurant! the dishes are thoughtful, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It's the kind of place where the ambiance draws you in, but the quality of the food makes you want to come back again and again. It's also fantastic for kids. My toddlers were completely enchanted by the setting, and it's one of the few places where adults and kids can both feel delighted at the same time. BUT somehow it's also the type of place you could sit at the bar and have the best girls night (with the complimentary sparkly flower crowns, of course) The service was perfect, all the gals are delightful. If you're looking for a magical dining experience that's actually delicious, Enchanted Forest is absolutely worth the trip.

    Salmon

    I've been meaning to try this place and finally got to go with my girlfriends for my birthday. It's a very cute fairy forest theme. The server was very friendly and attentive. The steak was super moist and delicious but the salmon was a little too sweet and the corned beef pasty was a little too dry. Overall, it was a great experience especially for birthdays bc they give out a piece of delicious chocolate cake with happy birthday written on the plate. We ordered the key lime pie with blackberry and that was really amazing. It's a place you have to try at least once for the experience.

    Chocolate Fondue

    Great food and fun experience at Enchanted Forest. We were given fairy light crowns to wear right away which were super cute. We had the Prosciutto Bacon Wrapped Asparagus starter and Three Course Fondue. The Cheese Fondue with Gouda was tasty and complex. The Main Fondue with steak, shrimp, grilled chicken and meatballs was delicious, and the dark chocolate fondue dessert was perfect with the fruit but too sweet when paired with the cookies and treats. Overall, I highly recommend for the fun atmosphere and quality food.

    What a gem and memorable experience for my family! Have kids? This is a one in a lifetime experience and would very highly recommend it at least once if you're able to (priorities first!). Magical ambience with lights twinkling in a forest enchantment environment. Biggest tip I can offer? Make a reservation ahead of time and don't settle for regular table seating - keep looking through each day and the multiple time slots for a seating at their magical table experiences. We were fortunate to sit at their Fun Nature Fort Booths. No difference in service or anything like that, it's just that you'll get to have booth side tables with a towering curved leafy vine above you with a warm lantern lighting your way.. through the forest.. of fairy time enchantment. And if your kids (or yourself) have a heightened imagination (or they just can't sit still), you'll be glad to have those booths. They give you magical crowns that light up! And yes, you get to keep them so don't throw them away or leave them behind. Service was fantastic, food was simply delicious and absolutely amazing, main dining room was a magical experience, and their bathrooms were quite a surprise! Pictures are worth a thousand words - aaaand I'll leave it at that. Drinks. Must try - Forest Flight of Meads where you get 5 flavors infused with deliciousness. Our favorite was Chai! Oh so good! But NOT a fan of the Apple flavored. Also had Fairytini and Lavendar Leprechaun - both of which helped us forget our toddlers for a moment. Food. Forest and Sea - hands down winner! Filet mignon (medium rare), scallops, and shrimp cooked to perfection. Popular order is the boneless braised beef short ribs - super soft, mouth savory, but just not my cup of tea. If you're into braised beef, though, then you're going to love it! If ever, would love to try their Irish gold miner's pasty pie.. looks like an entree for coming champions. Maybe grow a tuft of chest hair with each bite? Appetizers we had were Lobster Seafood Bisque soup (bowl) and Irish Whiskey Shrimp - both were top notch glory enchantments! Dessert. Blackberry key lime pie. Trust me on this. Each bite with a flavor explosion of blackberries and lime.. incredible! Parking. Good luck with this. I know there're time limitations but luckily no meter maid that day.. I don't think it's enforced much but just keep in mind there are time limits. Street parking if you're lucky, otherwise it might be a bit of a walk for ya. Highly recommended to try AT LEAST ONCE with your family and give the little ones a core memory they won't forget.

    Decadent triple chocolate cake
    Cassie B.

    I have been to enchanted forest several times and I've had an amazing experience every time! The ambience is really what makes this restaurant, when you arrive you are given light up flower crowns which really enhance the experience and match the ambient lighting in the restaurant. The waitresses are always dressed up in ren faire attire which also adds to the experience, when I came here for my birthday last year they even had someone playing live music which was really cool. I've had the baked brie before which is delicious and has the perfect amount of balance with the crackers and good portion size. The stuff portebello mushroom are my go to entree each time, the lentils mixed with the cheese and plant based Italian sausage is so delicious plus I love that it comes with carrots and a side salad. I also love getting the mead flight and had one last year when I went for my birthday for this recent trip with my boyfriend I got their peach mead and it was soooo good. I know mead is considered a sweeter alcohol but I really like it. And getting the flight to share with my friends last year in May was perfect! For desert at my recent visit my boyfriend and I tried their decadent triple chocolate cake, it was perfect it was light and fluffy and not super dense like most chocolate cakes are. Overall I highly recommend this place to come on a date night, celebrate your birthday or just to come to experience the enchanted forest!

    Cheesecake
    Mlissa H.

    I have been wanting to try this place since seeing it on IG but it was quite a bit away so have been putting it off. We decided to suck it up and drive the 1.5hrs. First impression: very cute and cozy. I loved the greenery and wooded walls. A bit cramped once you go in and sit. Like I don't think they could add anything else. But the waiters can walk around and thats all that matters I guess. We got these cute floral headbands which I thought was fun. Our waitress was polite, took our orders quickly, told us about the specials and was attentive. The food was unfortunately not impressive. For apps we ordered lobster bisque and tapas. The soup we never received, the tapas they were out of one. The smoked salmon and goat cheese and apple were great! The prosciutto and fig was the one that was out and the baked brie we ordered 2 of. It was TERRIBLE. It tasted like raw feta (yuck!!) untoasted bread, some pickled something and idk what the white things were on it. Just bad. Nothing baked or brie about it. For entrees we had braised rib and one of the special pasty pies they had (steak and mushroom). My husband said the rib was mid. The steak and mushroom pasty was nothing special. Dessert was fluffy cheesecake and keylime pie. The cheesecake was great. Not overly sweet at all. Almost european in its taste of stronger cheese than sweetness. The key lime was very sweet tart and rich but good. All in all I enjoyed the aesthetic, the service was good, food came out quickly but the food was unfortunately not worth the drive/hype/price. Which sucks bc I feel like it started off good with apps and seemed promising. unfortunately the entrees were not great and that seems normal for these themed places. If I could give a 3.5 stars i would as that is more how I feel.

    mini fondue w/ kids meals
    Cindy S.

    When we first learned about Enchanted Forest, we really wanted to check it our but regretfully it took their closing announcement to finally get us there. But good news, they aren't closing anymore! Enchanted Forest is a unique, charming experience with delicious food and excellent customer service. The restaurant is small but as you enter you are welcomed by fairies then further in emersed into the forest. We were able to get a Nature Fort Booth which seemed more magical than Under the Tree. The kids enjoyed the wooden and log designed cushions and lights on the table. The servers all have fairy ears and guests are given fairy lights which add to the experience. The menu is a bit short but there is something for everyone. My husband and I ordered the Irish Gold Miners Pie and Boneless Braised Beef Short Rib while the kids got the Three Course Experience with pizza and chicken on a stick. The presentation of the Irish Gold Miners Pie was pretty cool as it is topped with edible gold flakes. The outer crust was flaky and inside filled with corn beef and potatoes. My husband said it had good flavor and he was surprised by the large portion and how much filling was in the pie. The Braised Beef Short Rib was saucy, savory, tender and went really well with the mashed potatoes and vegetables. I could really taste the mead and garlic flavors in the beef. As for the kids' meals, they enjoyed their fresh fruit, the grilled chicken is just that; grilled chicken on a stick and pizza was just okay. The highlight of their meals was the mini fondue where they dipped fruits, marshmallows, and other treats in chocolate. A little pricey but the food is good and don't forget you are paying for an experience. The kids dressed as a wizard and fairy for extra fun. If you have littles, especially little who love fairies and magic, I recommend checking the Enchanted Forest out at least once.

    Ended our Apple Hill day with dinner here for our group of 6. We made sure to have reservations in advance and requested a booth table. We were seated immediately at a cozy roomy forest booth with a lit river table and throw pillows. The restaurant was packed and service was slow but we weren't in any rush. The ambiance was charming & magical. We all gleefully adorned our provided lit fairy headbands. Appreciated their diverse menu. Most of our group got a meat pasty, another had the scallops and caprese crepe was our final entree. Most included a dinner salad and were generous portions. Scallops were a tad overcooked but rest of our food was yummy. Sadly didn't save room for dessert. Overall, it was exactly what I expected and we found it delightful. Unverified rumor we heard from another guest, is that it's shutting down soon. Sure hope that isn't true! This place adds such a fun fanciful touch to the city.

    I was really excited to find out about Enchanted Forest extending their lease. My friend and I immediately made reservations and decided to head up to Placerville. The ambience of the restaurant was beautiful and cozy. All of the staff was dressed so cute and they were all very nice. Our waiter had great service and was very attentive. The salad featured in this photo was really good. My friend also enjoyed her steak, mashed potatoes, and veggies as well. The chicken that I had added onto the salad (not in the pic) was not the best, which is why I gave a four out of five stars, but the salad itself was really good. I do believe the price is for the experience rather than the food. I love how they gave each customer a light up flower crown. It was super fun and cute. overall I had a great experience at this restaurant and my friend and I do definitely want to come back for drinks one night and really appreciated the service from the employees and the time we spent here!!

    Full disclosure: my husband and I were readying for a vacation in Placerville and looking at area restaurants online from home. When I saw this place come up, I hid the information from my husband because it looked like some hippy BS that he would love, and I would hate. Fast forward to our vacation and he saw this place from down the street and made a b-line for it I did not want to like this place... but, it is impossible, they make you wear a crown of fairy lights, the hostess has elven ears and the bartender was literally Frodo Baggins. My husband was in Heaven. And, the food was terrific!! Do not miss the adjacent hand pie stand... DELICIOUS!

    This restaurant is a hidden gem. If it was located in San Francisco I feel like it would go viral online and become a crazy popular restaurant. I was captivated just from the sidewalk as I was looking for a place to have lunch with my friend during my first visit to placerville. We were warmly greeted with light up flower crowns (seriously!) and led inside this ethereal dining room to a lovely oak table. The servers were warm, friendly and professional and the meal was magical. There's beautiful footage of Ireland on the TVs with Irish music playing and it feels like a vacation. The menu is extensive with great options for every diet. I tried the butternut squash crepes which came with a salad and it was the most delicious meal I've ever had. Comforting, flavorful and wholesome! I can't say enough positive things about the Enchanted Forest.

    Vegetable pasty
    Grace C.

    Fun spot to take a kiddo, or for folks who want a different scene. Love the forest décor, tables with a ribbon of light, and fairy ears on the staff. Everyone gets a lighted flower crown, so you quickly feel part of the scene. Had the vegetable pasty, which was cheesy broccoli deliciousness. That plus the mashed potatoes makes for a hearty meal (actually, two meals). The kids meal grilled cheese is served on sourdough, which was a no go for the kiddo so if that's the case for you/yours, you may want to try another option (the pizza is a strong contender). They have multiple flavors of mead, which I've not seen anywhere else. I didn't have any, so I can't speak to them but it's a cool standout feature. I was lucky with street parking for an early Friday night dinner; I could see it getting busy later while folks are roaming downtown.

    So this place had been on my list forever . I'm so glad we finally made it . It was more than an hour drive but so worth it . I was looking for a unique dinning experience and we found it . Walking in I felt like I was literally walking inside an enchanted forest . There is leaves ,trees and lights everywhere I loved it! Even the restroom was in theme . The theme is just a genius idea. Once we got seated we got greeted by our waiter named Marci she gave us some head bands that light up with flowers it definitely made me feel like a fairy super cute . Marci went above and beyond with her service she was super nice and attentive. For food we got the Strawberry Goat Salad to start with some drinks hubby got a Pliny beer and I got some hard Kombucha very good . After looking at the menu and trying to decide I went with the Short Rib the meat was so tender the mashed potatoes were so good too . The hubby got the Irish Gold Miners Pasty Pie it comes with edible gold wow .. The food was 10/10 so so delicious! Overall we had a great unique dinning experience . The theme was very cool we are so glad we got to experience it . The food and service was 10/10 so good and Marci was amazing. We found out a few restaurants from Placerville were featured on a Food Network show called Best Bite In Town . Enchanted Forest happened to be one of them featured on the show . Definitely a must watch show . I highly recommend this restaurant can't wait to go back .

    Ask the Community - Enchanted Forest

    I'm looking at reservations for 2, I see on their website that there is dining for 2 in the back of the restaurant OR the fun dining bar? Can anyone tell me if one area of the restaurant is better than the other? Thank you 😊

    When I visited in November, the back seemed to be much better. The front is very cramped with people constantly walking right next to you. The back is also themed better

    I have 2 large, well behaved dogs, not service dogs. Are they allowed at your park?

    This is a restaurant, no place for pets. It's indoors.

    Do you allow pets for outdoor seating? Me and my husband are planning to dine there for our anniversary.

    We would love so much to allow pets however legally we are only allowed service animals to be inside.

    Are reservations required or just suggested?

    If going on a weekend I would make reservations but not required

    Are there any vegan options?

    Yes. They have items to please the carnivore, the vegetarian, and the vegan.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yes service dogs are allowed and we do have an outside table for those with pet dogs.

    What is the maximum size for a party reservation?

    The average parties are 8-12 but we have done larger for wedding rehearsal dinners and family reunions. Call for details 916-715-9755

    What is your corking fee if we choose to bring our own wine / champagne?

    Takes reservations

    Yay! Our new favorite lunch place on Main Street!…read more We just stopped by last weekend, we've been wanting to try this place out but it just hadn't happened.... Last Monday we decided to have lunch there, one of our regular places is closed Mondays and this place was open so we checked it out...and we're SO SO glad we did! Atmosphere was nice and server was very friendly from the moment we walked in. First thing I noticed; $5 mimosas!! I asked if they did anything other than orange juice and yes, they had several other options so I had the cranberry version. Delicious! I went with their mac and cheese, my partner got the basic hamburger. Mac and Cheese -- definitely very bacon forward, much more than I prefer. That being said, I still liked it, it also had sour cream and green onion on top. Bacon lovers will LOOOVE this version, there is LOTS of it and every bite you can taste it. Normally I prefer my mac & cheese with no bacon or just a bit here and there, I prefer to taste more of the cheeses.....again, it still tasted good, its a good serving and I ate half and had enough to save for the next day at work. Creamy and well made, again I just prefer to taste more cheese than bacon. I wouldn't order this again but like I said, a bacon lover will LOVE this version. Now, my partner's burger was Incredible. We are PICKY with our burgers, and we both thought this one was fantastic. Big, and great ratio to the bun. He ordered it medium and asked for "a little char" and they made it perfectly. I took a bite and yeah, I'd order that for sure. The fries were great, too. Overall we were super happy with our lunch, I thought it was priced fairly as well. We will definitely be back!!

    I'll give 2* because the food (when it came) was great…read more We've been to Franny's a couple times before and had O.K. service and good food. The pitfalls of the restaurant seem to be entirely the service. Most recently we went to Franny's on Mother's Day. We had reservations and walked in, on time. We were initially sat in a nice booth in the front of the restaurant. It was my wife and I plus our 2 kids, the table size seemed appropriate. After being sat, we sat without talking to a server for 10+ minutes, not even getting waters. Eventually, when someone did come, it was a waitress/hostess telling us that there had been a mix up, and we needed to move. We weren't excited on the idea, as we were happy where we were, but we moved to the back of the restaurant. This time we sat for 15 minutes without being acknowledged by any wait staff. At this point it is 9:25 and we've been seated for 25 minutes without even water. Finally a waitress comes, and takes our drink order, and our food order as we'd definitely had ample time to look over the menu. About 9:50 the food arrives. My wife and kids' food comes and is great. My food comes and looks off, and the waitress tells me that the kitchen accidentally made me a "veggie" scramble instead of the chorizo that I had ordered, but that she'd get me some bacon and all was well. I asked what was in the veggie scramble and was told it has mushrooms, which is a hard pass for me. She told me she could have what I had actually ordered made but it would "take a long time". I said O.K. - what else was I going to do? Finally it comes, and my wife is done eating, and the kids are close, so, I asked for it to be "boxed up". The waitress rolled her eyes and set to the task. I'm not a restaurant snob - but I really expected an apology or something to be "comp'd" due to the rough experience, but nope, full bill and no apology. Regrettably, despite Franny's being a local joint and having good food, we won't be back.

He came back and cleared the table next to us and did not communicate anything to us. I asked, is that a yes or no? Without looking at us he said hold on. He finished clearing the table and walked away. He came back 10 minutes later and without saying a word he placed the bill on our table and left. Luckily we had the cash to cover it and a tip.

This could have been handled much differently leaving us wanting to try them again.

    Hubs and I are in town visiting and decided on Brick's for dinner tonight. We called ahead to ask…read moreif they take reservations. They do not, however they do something called a "fast pass" which basically means they put your name down and if you arrive while there's a wait, you get seated before anyone else who is waiting and does not have a fast pass. Kind of a different approach. I was glad that when we arrived, there wasn't anyone else waiting and there were tables available. Service was very attentive and friendly. He took our drink orders and allowed us some time to decide what to eat. Hubs and I both debated between multiple options- a lot sounded so good- but we both decided on the filet mignon. On the menu, it indicated that the dish comes with a béarnaise sauce; my husband really doesn't care for tarragon so he requested a substitution of their mushroom rosemary sauce instead (which is offered with their ribeye), and they happily obliged. The meal also included Yukon mashed potatoes and veggies. Our food was delivered soon after and I was pleasantly surprised that not only were our steaks still very warm but that they were cooked a perfect medium rare. The quality of the steaks was great, they were nice and thick. The veggies were, for the most part, overdone and a bit soggy, but that's not something that bothers me too much. The potatoes had good flavor but could have used much more milk/cream as they were pretty dry and firm. The experience was a good one and I would definitely return if we lived closer. I liked that their menu had a lot to offer- this is a good place for a family who has various tastes. Shout out to our server, Carver, who was great and provided very good service.

The chef/owner goal was to create a cozy place where folks can enjoy an homemade Italian meal that you thought your non-na or someone's non-na made. Mission accomplished! They have pizza, pasta, sandwiches, calzones, salads, and appetizers. There are two kinds of pizza; Neapolitan thin crust and Roman deep dish. Both are terrific. They offer the deep dish pizza by the slice. The thin crust pizzas have a fermented crust giving it a nice chew and crispness. Flavor elevation. The thin crust pizzas are flame fired. The wood fire pizza oven is a thing of beauty. Gorgeous rounded cooper clad exterior; imported from Italy. It is viewable in the dining room, near the kitchen. Grammy's salad is my favorite salad. Grammy makes one hecka of a salad. The meatball grind-ah is mighty tasty. The bread is pressed giving it nice grill marks and a toasty flavor. The meatballs are juicy and tender; they are layered with marinara. Mmm. Their lunch menu has different menu options from the dinner menu. All right, mixing it up. Lunch is served until 3pm. The happy hour is 2pm-6pm. With the recent remodel, they tore down the wall separating the bar and restaurant dining room creating an open floor plan. So the nights that they have live music. It gets loud. Just sayin.

    OK, we've been around Placerville for five years and I've never stopped and checked this place out…read more It's kind of hidden and you can definitely walk past it and miss it.. but we stopped by today cause we were craving sandwiches and let me tell you their selection is definitely different but their sandwiches are 15 out of 10. The owner is there working like a badass and he's got such rad staff !! Go get yourself a sando! Caution, though, if you are not somebody who is open-minded with food or a foodie stay away because these sandwiches are different and they're big and they're just amazing

    Stopped by this sandwich shop on the way up to Apple Hill. Saw the Yelp reviews and looked…read morepromising. It's basically a walk up in a small plaza with some tables. Cute spot. Definitely good for people watching. Got a couple sandwiches: Banh Mi - seeing the list of ingredients I was excited for this one. Never seen a place use lap chung in banh mi. The sandwich itself was kind of underwhelming. First of all, it's not on a French roll. Because of this, the moisture from the slaw soaked the entire bottom bun, making it difficult to eat. Also, the lap chung was slice into small coin sized pieces, rather than lengthwise, which means it all fell out when you tried to eat the sandwich. All the ingredients inside pretty much masked the taste of the sausage so you really didn't get the taste. I didn't get how this was supposed to be a banh mi. Honey Walnut - this was ok. Kind of standard honey walnut. In theory this sounded great but it's a tad rich and needs something to cut through it. There were a ton of other sandwiches and maybe we should've tried others but for the two we got it was just alright.
