Amazing experience, but the food was only mediocre for the price! Great place for the family or a fun date night!! read more

Enchanted Forest - Salad Near Me - Placerville, California

This place was fantastic. We loved the theme and the food and my family had a fantastic time.

It seems like they're still in a slow opening phase with a limited but still want the doors open, which makes sense so they don't lose money... restaurant still has its kinks like most new restaurants do but the food is good and for that I can't wait until they are fully up and running! read more

What a fun and unexpected experience! I have to be truthful. I've been driving by this place since it opened and thought, "What the heck is this place?" numerous times. Thankfully our neighbor invited us out to dinner so we could see what the place was all about. We had a reservation and was seated promptly. I was taken aback by the decor inside, the twinkling lights, the feeling like you're really in an enchanted forest. To top it off, the staff was dressed the part, as children of nature, and handed us twinkling halos to wear upon sitting down. I was NOT expecting any of this but was pleasantly surprised overall and decided to just immerse myself in the experience. The menu offered a number of tasty options for omnivores, herbivores, and non-glutenavores. From snacks, to main dishes, and creative desserts. It was great! I had the Cornish Pasty Pie which sounds a bit off but was extremely flavorful and filling. My husband and I also split a sweet Caramel Apple Crepe for dessert and it really hit the spot. It was light and sweet but not overly sweet. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the experience. Definitely not something You'd think to find in Placerville, but glad it's here. Will definitely be returning. The fondue plates next to us looked amazing! read more

This is a fun little restaurant! I love the Irish stew entree. I tried the fish and was not fond of it. I would definitely go back.

Well in advance of our holiday dining date, we had chosen this restaurant and booked a reservation for 5. It was a special and rare time for our family with three young adults and busy work schedules to be able to finally dine together. We drove down from Tahoe where we live and have many other choices but when we arrived, they seated us into a small corner by the bar vs in the main restaurant area that had nice seating space, ambiance and a live musician. We asked to move because we were too crammed in, a customer's wagon was stored in front of the table making it hard to get in and out, the fondue plug-in didn't work and we were completely separate from the experience the restaurant promotes on its website. With our request to move being declined, we did our best to make the best of it as it was a special time for our family to be able to be together. Although the staff was friendly, the food was standard but expensive. Most of all, because our reservation was terribly mismanaged by the ownership, we missed the dining experience that we were promised so we won't be returning again and wanted to let others know. read more

Such a cute little place to stop by for a crepe and mead, Maya who works here helped me choose my favorite mead flavor by letting me try all of the flavors she was super helpful in explaining the menu and helping me create the perfect crepe shes the best read more

Simply put, this place is awful for fondue. It's basically a dive bar (think a bar in college where your arms stick to the tables and power strips under small carpets running all over the place). Cheese fondue conformed to whatever it was on and it's not to be swallowed because you can't chew it enough. We told our waitress and she admitted it wasn't the right mix of cheeses. She tried to add cheeses and told us she would just make us another batch but she came running back after talking to her manager (owner I believe) and said she couldn't make more and that we could just take the veggies home. Wth? She ended up taking $10 off the bill, cheese fondue is like $40 so we paid $30 for some bell peppers and dried bread that we didn't want to take. It Meat fondue, broth had zero flavor and two of the four meats come already cooked! Why?! The meatballs come to your table frozen and they were the most flavorful one because they were just frozen meatballs from the grocery store. Chicken was already cooked. Why?! We cooked shrimp which was decent but the filet mignon was cheap cardboard with zero flavor that we couldn't eat. The dipping sauces for the meats..haha! One is called Parmesan Italian. It is Kraft Italian dressing with Kraft cheese on top. The bbq sauce, again, just Kraft from a bottle nothing unique about them. If you want to call yourself a fondue place AND charge more than a place like Melting Pot then at least have something of quality. Chocolate fondue was good minus what hard crunchy stuff was on top. Why?! Was it sea salt or broken up hard candy. Service was poor and took at least 15-20 minutes between courses. The restroom was actually surprisingly clean (didn't expect that based on the rest of the restaurant) and the place to be. This place is SO overpriced for what you get. If you've ever had fondue at a real place, or even ever dipped a nacho in cheese at home, then you will be extremely disappointed by this place. read more

My girlfriend and I came in for lunch. When you you walk in the door the vibes hits you. Just totally transformed from what was there for 30 plus years!So inviting and light and the atmosphere magical in decor and vibe. We split 2 dishes the the vegetarian eggplant lasagne and chesse,fruit and prosciutto platter with this outstanding fig sauce!Both dishes were excellent in flavor combonations. Our server was very kind ,attentive and food served on time.All in all a great dining experience and fun atmosphere! Cant wait to go back and will be recommending to others!Great job Kaitlyn and crew! read more

Everything about this place was exceptional. The décor is immersive and whimsical, it's difficult to not get swept away in the magic, you are transported into another time and place, and you will love it! The owner was extremely gracious and warm, the staff was friendly and engaging. This truly was the first time in my life that I would say I had a real dining "experience", even after the final course was served, we found another hour had passed and no desire to leave! The food, the ambience, the MEAD! There was not one thing about my experience at this magical restaurant that I could say in a negative light. I just can't wait to go back! read more

I can't say enough about Enchanted Forest Dining in Placerville, CA. What an incredible experience! The ambiance was truly magical. The food was amazing and the service was on spot.

Beet salad and baked Brie appetizer just wonderful. The atmosphere is whimsical, friendly and relaxing. This place is a secret little garden, it does not disappoint!! read more

Atmosphere beyond your typical experience. Staff was friendly and attentive even on busy night. Scanning the clientele enjoying the evening it was clear everyone was pleased. Food was excellent and the fondue special for Valentines was very special. Thank you all for making our first visit so special. read more

So much fun! We went and just sat at the bar where we were pleased to meet Tai.{?} He let us have tastes of 2 meads and I guess I am now a Fan! Who knew? The second time we brought our 4 year old Granddaughter to see the fairies and she was so thrilled that we got lite-up rosebud crowns! The transformation of this place is awesome and the people so nice and magical! They made the four year old a grilled cheese, which wasn't on the menu, and I had the baguettes, they were great, you get to choose which ones you want. I can't wait for crepes and fondue in one of those cute vine covered booths in the back. We are lucky to have this enchanted forest on Main Street! Can't wait to go back! read more

PlacervIlle's newest happening. Our first visit, amazing, magical, eclectic place. 'Bars, Pizza and Salads' it's not!!! We had three appetizers and their mead flight. Fabulous. The ambience is stunning, such a contrast to other noisy Placerville restaurants and bars. Loved the decor, the music and, the head wear!!! Staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. We'll be back for the fondues coming shortly. read more

We were really excited to try this place especially because they had fondue. But sadly the quality was NOT worth the prices. It took more than 15 minutes to put in a drink order. Then they were out of a bunch of stuff. The quality of the cheese fondue was terrible. Go to a real fondue place they know how to do it right. The chicken pot pie and roasted veggies seemed to have been over cooked in the Microwave. I am really glad we didn't go with a the whole fondue experience here because it took so long for us to actually get the dipping breads and veggies after the cheese was brought out. I can't imagine how long we would have been there. Our waitress only came over to our table to bring stuff (which was far in between times) and we never got a refill on our drinks. It seems like they just need better management and there to be better delegation on the work. And need a better way to do the fondue set up the table we were at had a bunch of extension cords under it with a bunch of cords, total safety hazard. read more

This place is ummm different. Very odd. Hungry and got sucked in out of curiosity. For an early lunch, no reservation, and able to get a table. Service was cheery and very attentive. Food was surprisingly good. Normally quirky spots like this are only good at the theme OR the food, not both. Feels like a tourist trap, which it probably is. They give everyone a light up head piece so you have no choice but to be enchanted lol. It was just a weird vibe during the entire meal that something wasn't right. read more

All I have to say is WOW! Not only is the service exemplary, the food is some of the best in Placerville. Presentation and taste is something every one should experience if they live/ visit this unique little town. The Enchanted Forest is definitely a place worth checking out! read more

Great food the salads staff is friendly it's an experience not just a meal the flower light up crowns are an added bonus such a cute place

So cute! My husband and I stumbled upon this place while walking around and are happy that we decided to give it a try! The location is small and cozy, and very well decorated for the theme. The servers also dress on theme which I thought was neat. When you order, they bring out fairy crowns for you to wear that glow. Super cute touch! The food was decent, though nothing to write home about. Ultimately I think you pay more for the experience than you do for the food. read more

I called a week ahead for a reservation. When we arrived, we were told that the only table available was in the noisiest part of the bar area. We ordered the full fondue experience. The food was still raw after sitting for 10 minutes in the fondue pot. We were assured by the staff that our equipment was working correctly, but we just needed to wait longer. Our price of our wine was refunded, but the total for two people still came to over $150 for two people. I felt sick afterwards from the raw food. I would not recommend this establishment! read more

As a former Placerville resident now living in the Sacramento "flatlands," I have only had an opportunity to eat at this restaurant once. It was great! Such a creative and unique menu, and our food was delicious. We felt welcome as soon as we stepped through the front door. Everyone was friendly, and we were charmed by the decor. I look forward to enjoying another meal at Enchanted Forest next time I'm in Placerville. And congratulations to the owners and staff for all their hard work and dedication that saw them through the last two and a half years. They deserve - and have earned - great success! read more

A Disney-like experience, but with better food options! This place put the biggest smile on my face. Dont go here in a hurry- truly enjoy the experience. Shared the 4 course fondue with my mom, and it was delightful. The dressing on the Hobbit salad is great, the cheese fondue is heaven, and the filet was so tender, you could have eaten it without teeth (although you do play a part in this....if you cook your filet so long in the broth that you "ruin" it, that's your own darn fault). The homemade meatballs were perfectly seasoned. And the chocolate fondue- SO MANY DUNKABLE OPTIONS!! Aside from fresh and dried fruit, there were bite sized bits of Hostess (or the like) products, which are normally things I would turn up my nose at, however, when dunking them in great quality dark chocolate fondue, it's a game changer. The ambiance of the place was spectacular (a ceiling covered in greenery and white lights?! Yes!) and the staff were so fun and personable! Do yourself a favor and go here! read more

As good as it gets! The food is so amazing and fresh! The staff is always so friendly and inviting. If you're lucky enough to get Jennifer to serve you either at the bar or for table seating, you won't leave without a few laughs and wanting to come back again soon! read more

Great little gem. Different for sure. Great food. And the server and chef were amazing about making sure my meals were all GF.

I rarely think my thoughts are worth mentioning, but I have to speak on our experience here. I'm going to start with if it could go wrong it did go wrong. But nothing was by fault of the magical creatures working here. They did EVERYTHING in their power to try and make up for the universes chaos. I was blown away at how well the crew here worked together and how the atmosphere was never less than magical. And the food... oh the food! Hefty portions and cooked to perfection. Would not change a thing! Worth the drive and worth the wait. We will absolutely be back and we're bringing friends! read more

First time here. Fun atmosphere, friendly and fast service, family friendly (kids had a blast, they're 6 & 9). Pizza is delicious, almost like a deep dish. We had the Caprese and Caveman. The best was the chocolate fondue, it was amazing. We'll be back. read more

We stopped for lunch here on our way back from a backpacking trip. This was our first real restaurant meal in almost 4 months (quarantine), and it couldn't have been better. My daughter's smile was ear-to-ear from the incredibly unique fairytale ambiance of this place. The food was great, the staff was nice, but the thing that really sets this restaurant apart is its atmosphere. It pulls off being a "theme" restaurant without being tacky. The forest theme is well thought-out and creative, with just the right music and lighting. We got a pizza, some appetizers and some salads. The beet caprese salad was great. We'll be returning to this enchanted forest. read more

The atmosphere is an all immersive experience! It was so fun to "get away" for a bit into this nature wonderland! The food tasted very fresh with a lot of complex flavors and combinations. Nothing was overpowered with salt (always a plus for me!). The owner came by and gave us fairy crowns to wear too! Very kind staff! It was such a cool experience, from the delectable food to the other worldly experience! Would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

I love this place being a local I'm a frequent customer. The food is amazing, the staff is extremely friendly they make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is definitely unique and fun to be in. Mead flights are a must when visiting. read more

Great food & the ambiance was beautiful with leaves & fairy lights throughout. Felt like you were in a medieval enchanted forest. I suggest doing the full course experience. Only downsides were 1. We got sat at the slush table right near kitchen door and the bathrooms looked like disgusting bar bathrooms & 2. We were celebrating my birthday and the restaurant didn't sing or do anything special. It was dissapointing. I recommend this place for a date night NOT birthdays or special events. read more

I have come to this location more than once and each time I fall in Love again. The mead flight beverage to start off is phenomenal. I had two flights and ate a wonder braised beef meal as well. The servers and host were very friendly as usual and I enjoy the ambiance there too. There are stores just outside this location that offer You shopping options after such a good meal. I have to say that I come from the Bay Area just to eat and enjoy the experience. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a real good time! read more

If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, this is your sign to go. My boyfriend and I went for a Friday night date night, after wanting to try this place since it first opened. My only complaint is that we hadn't tried this place sooner! We got the 4 course fondue and I have never been so pleased with a meal before! The amount of food they give you and the amazing quality of all the ingredients makes it way worth the price! Plus a glass of champagne with the chocolate fondue, just perfect! Samantha was amazing, and she made our experience amazing. I was bummed there weren't any tables available inside but the outdoor seating was perfect! So cozy and a little independent pod it takes away from the distraction of the busy street. We can't wait to come back and bring our family and friends. read more

Highly recommend for a date night. Cute atmosphere, great fondue, and nice staff. Although a bit pricy nothing unreasonable and they have some excellent mead! Definitely will come again, it's worth the drive from sac. read more
