I had a 7:30 reservation and arrived at 7:00. I let the hostess know we were early and still waiting for the rest of our party. She said our table would be ready and told us to check back in a bit. We returned around 7:15, and that's when things started to fall apart. She told us our table still wasn't ready but suggested we take a seat at the bar in the meantime. I looked around and noticed at least four or five empty tables. When I asked why we couldn't be seated at one of them, she explained that we had a specific table assigned. That already felt odd, but it got worse. A few minutes later, she returned and said the party at "our table" had just ordered their food and it could be another 20 to 40 minutes before we could sit. At this point, it was already 7:20, just ten minutes before our actual reservation time. She told us again we were welcome to eat at the bar. I politely pointed to the open table directly across from us and asked why we couldn't just sit there. She said someone had reserved that one for 7:45. I asked why we couldn't swap, let that guest have our table when it opened, and seat us at the available one. Her answer was simple: they don't do that. We were told our options were to either eat at the bar or leave. So we left. In all my years of dining out, I have never had a restaurant turn away a party with a valid reservation when there were open tables clearly available. This was the most rigid and customer-unfriendly seating policy I've ever experienced. No flexibility. No effort to find a solution. Just a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. I had high hopes for the ambiance, but honestly, it looked more like a makeshift wine bar with fake vines on the ceiling than anything close to an enchanted forest. It felt cramped, not magical. The menu looked fine, but I wasn't about to spend $60 to eat short ribs at a bar after being treated like an inconvenience. We didn't stay, and I won't be going back. If you're expecting a unique experience or thoughtful hospitality, I would look elsewhere. This was all style, no substance, and a complete failure in customer service. read more

A very fun experience. Food, drinks, and service was amazing! We will definitely be back.

We made reservations online for lunch 1:30 PM. We also had a voucher from our gym of a buy one get one free entrée. I asked the hostess when he checked in if we would be able to use it and she said yes, but to please show it to our waitress. We were a few minutes early, so she asked us to wait. Another couple came in with also reservations at 1:30 and they were seated before us. A group came in for reservations at 1:00pm, they were 30 minutes late, and they were also seated. At 1:40 PM We are taken back to our table. When the waitress comes over, I show her our voucher and she says that it will not apply. We weren't really given a reason, just that they used to take it, but they don't anymore. There was no expiration date on it. We went ahead and ordered two entrées. After a few minutes, I decided that this just didn't sit right with me. I found the waitress and we canceled our order and left. First of all, if two parties have a reservation at 1:30 PM and one party arrives before the other one, the party that arrived first should be seated first. If the vouchers no longer apply at the establishment, then it is on said establishment to call all of the places that you have offered these vouchers to and let them know that they will no longer be honoring them. We made these reservations when they announced that they would be closing and now it seems that they are not closing. The waitress said that this was their busiest weekend ever since he had been open, because everybody made reservations thinking that they would be closing. Now they are not closing and hiring more staff and getting a full liquor license. We live locally and I have never been and I was really excited to try it out. It's just very frustrating to have been let down three times at a restaurant. read more

Enchanted Forest - Salad Near Me - Placerville, California

My husband and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary, the "wood anniversary" here on a Saturday night. We did the "full fondue experience" and had a really nice time! The entire meal took about 2 hours. The ambience is really fun/unique and the drink/food options are made to fit the theme. We highly enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a more unique/fun meal experience. We were very glad that we opted for the fondue experience based on all of the other reviews here. It included a small starter salad which was delicious. Then came a trio of cheese fondue, entree fondue broth, and finally chocolate fondue. Unlike at Melting Pot, you cannot pick different flavors/types of fondue, but the standard picks were delicious. Each part comes with a tray of dippers to use and the entree came with 4 sauces to use on the side. They setup a hotpad with your fondue pot straight on the table and you do all the cooking yourself from there. It was very interactive and highly enjoyable. The flavor on all the fondues were great, just as good as we've had at other places or the Melting Pot. We felt that the quality of the "dippers" was lacking a bit for the cheese fondue (ie: bread and some of the veggies all seemed a bit stale), but still good. We loved that the entree fondue came with pre-cooked chicken as this is usually the most scary/annoying part having to wait for chicken or pork to cook! It came out very moist anyways so definitely loved that shortcut. The chocolate fondue was by far our favorite as the variety of dippers here was amazing, way better than at Melting Pot. There were tons of different fruits, cookies, sweet breads, etc to try. The weather was lousy so it was surprisingly not busy, though to be safe we still made reservations ahead. The restaurant is small/cozy, so I would highly recommend making reservations in advance as I am not sure how many walk-ins they really take each night. They don't seem to have enough staff so there was a bit of a wait at some points. This caused us not to get water/drink refills as fast as we would have liked and at some points caused a bit of a lag. However, the wait staff were all super friendly and were definitely doing their best so no blame on them. The ambience is really where this place shines. The enchanted forest theme is obvious from the decor, the wait staff's outfits, and the drink/food menus. Even the bathroom was on theme. We LOVED the fairy crown touch that all the patrons get (complementary for all customers). It created a very romantic and fun evening for us! I would definitely recommend this place and intend to come back for another date night or special event in the future. I can't speak to the regular food, but the Fondue was great! The price is a bit high, but you are paying for the experience not just the meal so keep that in mind. read more

We came as a gift from our daughter. It was incredible, for many reasons. First, I have just about every thing a person could need in the world and have asked my kids to spend time with me particularly experiences. Next, my daughter is in year one of a particularly difficult cancer battle, and through all of it, she has refused to quit anything. Her job, college, nothing. So when I looked up this place and saw the prices, I felt they were a bit high for a regular college kid to take the family out for dinner. But for her with her circumstances, I wanted to cry, because not only was it a monetary sacrifice, she found a place my wife and I knew nothing about, made reservations, and kept all of us (2 parents and 2 brothers) on time and in a great space. I don't know how I could improve the review from that but here goes. First, it is an out of place establishment and I love it for that reason alone. It doesn't belong in Placerville, it is a relatively pricey fondue restaurant that one would expect in the city. BUT I LOVE THAT! They unabashedly exist and I have to say they were hopping busy! It was an unexpected delight. I want to preface that I have had fondue at a ski in chalet in Switzerland. Literally the cows lived on the floor where the ground met the home. One story down was a cheese basement. One story up was a restaurant. That served fondue. But it only served cheese and bread along with a chocolate dessert fondue. I felt this experience was better than the one in Switzerland. Perhaps I am biased but I don't think I am. They only served bread and melted cheese, this place had a full menu and if you opted for fondue you received not only bread, but filet, chicken, shrimp, and meatballs. Overall, the execution of the food was incredible and I don't need to say much about the chocolate fondue. That is what it is- delightful. The staff were great. In fact, while we had a reservation they were running a bit late (10-15 min) and made sure we were aware and offered us options to take up the time. It actually was nice to sit down in a comfortable space and wind down from the drive. Regardless, the staff were on point, nice, and very helpful. The facility is enchanting. What can I say? They nail it with the small details that include a halo of lights that you wear and take as a reminder. The ambiance is great, and the sound is not loud. We had a wonderful time. I suppose the greatest compliment I can offer is that we will return even though it is an hour away! If you are coming up to ski or back on 50, it's worth getting reservations and making a stop. I typically go to Tahoe via 80 but will consider this route for the restaurant read more

Very poor dining experience here. We made reservations for an anniversary dinner that was in the notes. They gave us a table at the bar. Service took forever and wasn't good. The food was unimpressive. The pasty had very little meat it was mostly bread and potatoes. I don't know what they are going for with the menu but it seems to be a mix of random things that don't go together. Some items are very expensive. The decorations inside are meant to be an enchanted forest but it just doesn't go. Odd place for a meal and left unsatisfied. Definitely do not recommend this place there are better places nearby! read more

Had to check this place out since I've seen it posted all over social media. We made the 1.5 hour drive and the town was really cute. The Enchanted Forest was cute too with a fairy cool vibe. We got lighted flower crowns and seated under a tree. Wish I requested to be seated in an alcove booth. The place is smallish, about 11 tables in main dining room and 1 towards the front; and there was bar seating. We had reservations and were taken back immediately. The themed menu, attire of staff, and decorations met the prompt. Lord of the Rings, medieval, fairy, elves times were reflected. Do not go here if you are hungry, this place is to get the experience. We hit In N Out on our way home. The food was okay but the wait time was worse! I got hangier by the minute! Other tables seated after us seemed to get their food before us. The twins ordered the lobster bisque and they enjoyed that and could have eaten more. We ordered the Irish whiskey shrimp and prosciutto wrapped asparagus. We liked those and wanted more. We tried the fondue; the main feast. And while there was a good array of meats offered it was not enough to satisfy our appetites! My husband got the Mead flight and he seemed to enjoy that. His favorites were the lemon and cranberry. My favorite was the Apricot. I got the Mystic Mango. It was served in a nice metal goblet. It was fruity and tasty but I could have had it sweeter. All in all the meal was good; but we've had better meals for the same price point. The gift shop next door offered a free gift and I chose the earth mat! This was more for the experience and we got that. One and done though for us. read more

Great service, unique ambiance, and food was excellent. Wish I had made reservations ahead of time to get table seating. But bar was unique, and Marsha the bartender made it worth while as she was very friendly, engaging, and accomodating. She gave me and my date great food (portabello mushroom and the shepards chicekn pie) and drink suggestions that were on point. We will definitely be back. read more

The food was excellent. I had the lobster bisque, my sister had the green goddess salad and we split an order of the crostini with goat cheese and honey. The waitress was engaging and helpful.

My family and I had dinner at Enchanted Forest. The restaurant was a little warm for a June in Placerville. I had a chicken crepe with pesto and my daughter had the pizza.

Enchanted Forest - Crepe - Salad Near Me - Placerville, California

Had been wanting to try this place for a couple years So finally made it up there yesterday as we were going to Red hawk casino...Just love the atmosphere and everything is so whimsical With all the little lights and tree branches on the ceiling and even the bar underneath looks like a mossy tree...plus waterfall tables that light up and some change colors. When We sat down the waitress, came to the table with these cute little headbands that had little flowers with lites. I really thought she was going to try to sell them to us but that's part of the Dining experience, and you get to keep them which I thought was a great touch...It was cute a couple of mothers in there with their little daughters. I know I would've loved going here at that age too. Ordered the large strawberry goat cheese salad... with added chicken And The chicken caprese crêpe that came with a side salad. The salad was so good and the chicken was excellent on it... Dressing was on the side and it was really good too. Strawberries, very fresh... Crêpe was good as we kind of shared the meals, but My only complaint would be that they need to make it more creamy inside with the pesto Mixed with smaller pieces of chicken... The part of crepe that was done right was good. The other part was hard to eat. Food Presentation and service were great...Definitely if you go during a busy time, I would make a reservation. read more

I really wanted to love this place because the idea was so fun. Unfortunately the food was just a miss and the cost, even in these absurd times, was too much. I got a vegan crepe that came with a small salad. With tip, it came out to around $26. I had to spend another $13 on food at another restaurant right after just to feel full. Worse, the filling was under seasoned so I had to ask for more sage aioli just to give it flavor. That was a unique twist on aioli though. The whole reason we went there, to enjoy the experience of chocolate fondue for dessert, went out the window when we saw $5 upcharge PER PERSON for vegan fondue. That would have meant our dessert would have cost $50! No thanks. If it's the little flowery crowns making the food so expensive, I could have done without. read more

What an amazing restaurant! We had my brother's wedding rehearsal dinner here and they were amazing. Kari and Sabrina were fantastic, they took such great care of our party of 30! The food was absolutely delicious; I didn't try any of the specialty Meads, but heard from others that they were great! The atmosphere was lovely and fun, the light up flower crowns were adorable. There was live fiddle music, and it was the perfect accompaniment, not too loud and obtrusive to conversations, just a lovely background sound. The decor is fabulous and definitely needs to be experienced first hand! Thank you so much to not only Kari and Sabrina, but to the kitchen staff, bar tender, and everyone else that made our night so amazing! read more

The theme of the restaurant and decorations is great but the food is not. Ordered a Shirley temple and it barely had any flavor, nothing like the Shirley temples I have had elsewhere. My filet mignon and mushroom crepe was so blah I do not recommend, it was a complete waste of money. I ended up just eating the filet and mushrooms since the crepe was so bad. Someone in my party ordered fondue and the cheese was too firm so they had to spend their entire lunch stirring it and they said their arm was getting tired. The man across from me in the booth was served his meal about 30 minutes after the 5 others in my group. They said they gave his order to someone else and just casually said sorry. When it finally arrived he said, I hope it's worth the wait. The waitress said, oh, the pressures on now and laughed and walked away. I think she should have apologized a second time, I've worked in customer service and I know how to verbally try to smooth things over and this waitress acted amused at his inconvenience. read more

Overall a fun experience. We walked in and once seated, they handed us light up flower crowns for us to keep. We got the cheese fondue and the baked brie. Both were so good, especially the baked brie! They did bring a birthday dessert without us having to ask. Inside is cute and very forest/fairy themed. Removing a star for a couple reasons. We were a party of 3 and our friend went to ask if we could have a booth- she was told no. At the time it wasn't busy, so that really rubbed us the wrong way. Said we needed 5 people in order to request a booth? The bread for the cheese fondue was not great quality. Wish there were better dipping options because the cheese fondue was really good. read more

Nice atmosphere- menu needs to be redone if they plan on being around--- multiple items on the already outdated minimal menu were not available --- too bad the place has potential read more

When you come in, you first see the gorgeous decoration of an enchanted forest and greeted by amiable hostess. I dined for one and was seated at the bar. I immediately offered water, and I added on lemon tea. They were attentive to my drinks the whole time! I was also offered a cute lighted fairy crown. It fits the theme of the place. Food wise, I was torn between the filet mignon and the salmon - I went with the salmon and had no regrets! Guiness Glazed Salmon served on top of Swiss cheese mashed potatoes and a side of seasonal vegetables ($39). I would return, but this time with at least one other person since the fondue is meant to be shared by a minimum of 2 people. There is something called a "Full Enchantment Fondue Experience" that I would really like to try! read more

I found this unique spot in the area and came here while visiting my parents. There was no wait on a weekend night so we got a table right away. It was somewhat dark inside and there was live music (sounded like Irish music) so it felt very much like an eclectic forest. They also give you a light up fairy crown when you enter that you can take home. Everyone working here is very lively and friendly but service is a bit slow. My boyfriend and I shared the wine flight, he ordered the steak, and I got the green goddess salad. The wine was great, lots of options (2 red, 2 white, and 1 rose) and pretty large pours. As for the food, the steak was chewy and over cooked. It was also bland and lacked seasoning, but the sauce it came with helped a little. My dad also got the steak and said the same. Similarly, my salad was huge but lacked a lot of flavor and the veggies didn't taste as fresh as I would've hoped. Overall, fun spot if you're into fantasy, but the food was below my expectations, especially for the price. read more

Passing through Placerville on the way to Tahoe, we just knew we had to stop at Enchanted Forest for lunch. Immediately we loved the commitment to the theme - the whole interior was decorated with fake tree bark, plants, sparkly epoxy tabletops, etc. The staff were even dressed in medieval style outfits. We were seated immediately with no reservation at a comfortable table near the front of the restaurant. We were planning on skipping drinks, but couldn't resist tasting the Apple Pie Mead - so tasty and unique! I didn't end up ordering an entire serving, but would totally get the mead flight in the future. For food, my friend and I split two of the savory crepes - the Butternut Sage Crepe and Chicken Caprese Crepe. Both were pretty good, but the Butternut Sage was the better of the two, purely because of the sauce. I did appreciate the generous amount of chicken in the Chicken Caprese Crepe though. My other friend got the Baguette Tapas and chose two Salmon, two Prosciutto. Again, both very tasty! Service was fast and friendly. The appeal here was more about the ambiance than the food, but we left full and happy. read more

Pro's: So many! Great food, fun and atmosphere. Con's: It went by too fast! Go back?: Absolutely! More... We took a trip to Placerville from Reno for an overnight. Although Enchanted Forest received mixed reviews on Yelp, the owner/manager always responded so I wanted to give them a chance. Wow! So glad we did! We were greeted with LED lit flower wreaths to wear and take home...fun! There was a great 3-man Irish band playing fun old Irish tunes and pub songs. I liked their volume...they were right close to us but it was not too loud. The place is just lovely with a huge faux tree in the center. Private-ish booths lined one of the back walls. Up front in the restaurant, there is 1 table right at the window. Otherwise, there a high-top deuces along the opposite side of the bar. My point is, it is different up front than in the back dining room. Not bad, either way, but the dining room has the tree! The food was fabulous. I loved their signature Swiss cheese mashed potatoes. I had a corned beef pasty. I loved the Irish menu...I was not expecting that. Bacon wrapped scallops were just as you would want and I loved the roasted beet caprese - great idea! We ordered the Boeger cabernet sauvignon. It was served in a carafe so we thought we had not explained to our server that we wanted a BOTTLE. He quickley explained that they get the Boeger wine in mini-casks right from the winery...so it was being decanted for the first time right then! He also mentioned the Boeger's had just finished dinner at the bar! Super cool. The wine was excellent...so glad I had done some research to learn of the local wineries so we would know to choose one. Our server was so fun, too. This man does not know how to frown. What a delight he was. The whole thing was just a blast. Slante', Enchanted Forest! read more

Group of 8 at 7:00 Saturday. Had beers at the bar while table was setup then we sat down and received the lighted wreaths. That started a very festive and fun evening as our server Sierra was a blast. She added to the enjoyment with a very bubbly personality and recommendations. Two other servers (Marci & Rachelle) also chimed in as they went by, which added to the fun. We all remarked that we had never seen a staff so consistently motivated! We had 3 Shepard Pies, 4 Short Ribs, and 1 Salmon plus salads and a lobster bisque. Food was fine although one person thought the Short Ribs could have more taste. The lamb was out for the SP so we substituted beef. I had the stout and it was delicious. So, a fun time and we'll be back. read more

On Easter Sunday, April 9th, 2023..... it just happened to be my mother-in-law's birthday. The family decided to give her the whole dining experience by visiting here. We were taken care of by Buffy H. whom I want to mention was extremely patient and helpful. Shout out to Buffy! For us personally, we ordered 1 Mead Flight 1 Cheese Fondue 1 Chocolate Fondue Let's start with ambiance... For a dining experience, it's exceptional. It makes the person being celebrated feel like they are the honored guest. Even small little gifts were provided by the restaurant. For the food. . . . . Eh. I wish I could say I loved it. The cheese Fondue was a disappointment for us personally because we didn't realize till afterward that mead is added to the cheese, and it makes it sweet. We want savory, melty, cheesy. Not sweet, thick cheese that was hard to even dip! For the Chocolate..... my only complaint was that it seemed like sea salt was added as a garnish, and that changed the flavor profile completely. I want chocolate, NOT salted chocolate. This restaurant tries to be accommodating, and although I recognize that, for your price point I would like to see more vegetarian / vegan options and more mention of what is used in the dishes, even down to the sea salt add-in. Beyond that, the guest of honor was happy, so we left smiling based on her experience. Would we return here? Probably not. read more

I'm not here to bash this establishment but I was very disappointed. The fondue was not good and not one person in my party liked it which was sad since it was pretty much the razzle dazzle. The service wasn't bad. I should've taken his advice and not got the fondue. I understood what the look was going for but the place was dark. Our table was the only one not lit up either so the menu was hard to read. All in all the fondue, an appetizer and kids meals ended up being $90. It was not worth it by the long shot. We live and learn. read more

Such a magical experience! Food was very good and they gave us light up fairy crowns! Highly recommended

Fairies, Magic Spells & Pockets of Fomenting (Mead), OH MY! And owner Kaitlyn is charming as she crowns us each with illuminated garlands! SITREP Whether you're a lost (Star Wars ANDOR) fanboy looking to satisfy a fomenting thirst for tasty mead OR a (Wakandan) pirate hungry for sexy booty along a glowing purple Vibranium river, Enchanted Forest could be worth stopping in. But buckle up: choppy waters ahead.... FOOD This is where restaurant does well: food is DELICIOUS, albeit pricy. I paid for a Baked Briephilo appetizer ($17), and my Sheperd's Lamb Pie ($26). Add in my $10 cider, JUST MYSELF I didn't get out of there for less than $70. [I understand if a $10 fast food stop may be looking good right now instead.] BAKED BRIEPHILO. Great presentation with mini-sourdough shaped croutons and four (4) different kinds of jams, both sweet & savory (one a very pleasant spicy chutney and much appreciated). Brie was creamy and enjoyable with its own philo-crust shell. LAMB PASTY PIE. For $26, portion seemed small - notably pasty & mashed potatoes - whereas salad seemed to be more "real-estate"-dominant on plate. Yet could be just my quibble. But I noticed one other tablemate, and a 3rd at our adjacent table, BOTH had bigger pasties and more mash (I make a point to notice these things). So it could just be "luck of the draw" (to use the obvious frontier-related euphemism). This was on track to be a 3.5 review, but rounded up to 4.0 on basis of a good eating experience. THAT, and sweet illuminated Fairy-Garlands. ("What pray tell are we talking about?" Look at my picts and notice our heads.) OTHER IMPORTANT DEETS: TIME. As in, allow plenty of time for this entire endeavor - ordering & paying for drinks at bar; seating; ordering food; waiting for food; concluding receipted payments. We noticed right up front when we ordered our drinks AT bar (moment we walked in), it actually was not hard to get two (2) drinks - a Blueberry Mead and a Nectarine Cider. Problem became paying - CASH, then & there - before we dived deeper into dining room to find our party of 10 people. Yet with 3 staff running around behind bar, it still became an 11-minute endeavor, with suddenly staff-*priority* given over to verifying & paying of 5 different tables' receipts, taking a call from another employee out in field apparently in process of buying cream/dairy for restaurant (but fading into minutes of personal gossip), then suddenly taking in some MORE orders for more tables to trade in with kitchen. Pro-Tip. "Can you take care of this so we can move?" - customers with CASH, in hand, to pay for 2 drinks already dispensed, wanting to join their party in dining-room, THAT takes priority - not relegated to an 11-min queue. Either take cash or tell us to sit down - DON'T IGNORE US (we can settle up after you're done prioritizing your tallying of receipts of customers who are NOT immediately standing in front of you, don't leave us hanging with "This will only take a min", "Only a min more", yada yada, 11 mins later...). PARKING. Okay, on a Sat mid aft, PARKING SUCKS - know this up front: restaurant is located on main historic drag through Old Placerville and on a busy Saturday in middle of a historic *frontier-retelling*-zone that includes citizens in frontier costumes from times of Gold-Miners & 49ers (1849ers, NOT football team), so you're not going to easily find street-parking on 2-way street with congregating tourists a half mile either direction. We actually had to go further up, way past Round-Table (mid-way point of our spot) before we could even work our way back down to Enchanted Forest. It just IS what it IS - NOT a factor into this restaurant's rating. But take a moment to look for nearby parking lots or parking garages ahead of time and save yourself the headaches on the ground. THE LOWDOWN Good Food & Charming Atmosphere. Would I go back? On fence. Depends. But probably not? Here's what algorithm in my head tells me: If Just Me. I'm not raring to go through hassle again as an individual, when you weigh in difficult parking, problematic service, and (on balance) overall priciness of food (tourist-trap pricing, let's be honest - we are paying for fairy-experience). As a mere transient, I'd rather hit a $10 drive-thru over any $70 sit-down next time thru (or just avoid Placerville altogether and wait till I get to Sacramento for both car & human refueling). If Others With You. As a meet-up where different friends/families are coming from 2 or more different directions, especially kids - or fellow believers in *whimsy* - well, this changes things completely and merits a definite stop for them. Just know the costs up front so you don't get *Sticker-Shock*. You may want to check for kid's priced items (I did not - spending $26 on a pasty per kid would add up fast). If your deal, have fun. read more

On a whim, we decided to try Enchanted Forrest on a trip to Placerville on New Year's Eve. They kindly sat us even though we did not have a reservation. All the staff were dressed as forrest fairies. The staff was adorable and all very lovely. Our server Miles was very attentive, a really cool person and he was informative and helped us navigate the delicious fondu process. They had a fixed price menus for NYE (not sure what the regular menus is like) and it was reasonably priced for two people on a holiday evening. The food was delicious. The experience was engaging, as the entire restaurant (even the bathroom) engulfs you in a magical forrest. The maple syrup ginger mead was fantastic! Great wine selection in addition to the mead. We were gifted light up fairy crowns as well! We come to this area often from SF and will make it a point to eat here again. Thanks Enchanted Forest! read more

Enchanted Forest - Entrance to a fairy garden - Salad Near Me - Placerville, California

See all

Everything here was magical. The food was amazing the ambiance so unbelievably magical, the waitstaff all wore fairy wings and were friendly and professional. There were families as well as couples on dates and the fondue, while I didn't get to indulge this trip, looked really good and I'll have to remember to reserve it beforehand next time. I also wanted to mention the hand pies next door are scrumptious. Like, really, really good, although the price was higher than I would normally go for. I was really glad I did, in the end, and have been craving to have it again ever since. At the restaurant I got Salmon and I got the gluten-free pesto num factory--I mean hand pie!--next door. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Well to start, AARP has advertised for them for years. Buy on entree & get one of equal or lesser value free. However they DO NOT honor it!!! So embarrissed to get the news that they would not honor it when presenting it with payment. Then they got rude about it & said: "well we will allow a 50% discount on the second etree, but we will not honor what the coupon says. I have reached out to AARP to get the ad removed & it still is on there. read more
