We had a wonderful lunch at Native + Nomad today. We were greeted and seated right away. The inside is very inviting with beautiful plants. We sat outside. The server was friendly and helpful. The table was very pretty with nice cloth napkins, dishes, silverware and water glasses. I enjoyed the aesthetic. We ordered oysters to start which were delicious and served with a refreshing citrus dressing. We ordered a burger and pulled pork with slaw on the side. We shared both items. Everything was very tasty and fresh. I'm not usually a fan of gluten free as I bake my own sourdough but I have to say their bread was exceptional. We found the prices reasonable for the high quality. Can't wait to go back.

Very nice place to have lunch with a friend. The outside tables are dog-friendly. Service was good. The mahi mahi tacos were well filled and delicious. My dining companion.was happy with his chicken tacos. They brought out a water bowl for our canine family member (the day was hot and sunny.) The server was attentive checked in on us throughout the meal.

This is our second trip to Native + Nomad and it is wonderful on every level! It is a bit pricey but comparable to other places in the same location. The service was warm and friendly. The vibe is serene. We would gladly pay double for such amazing gluten free food. Both my daughter and I are gf and it is priceless to be able to eat anything on the menu! We will return.... Many times!

1/22/26 We really wanted to like this cute restaurant that we bookmarked a few months ago! It's got a great menu full of fusion options. We stopped in at 11:30am on a Thursday thinking we're beating the lunch rush to try to maximize our lunch hour visit. Staff were so friendly which we appreciate. There was only one other table in front of us. It took awhile for our food to come out. We ordered the Hawaiian plate and the chef's ktown bibimbap. Our plates came out at 12:10 giving us only 20 mins to eat and head back to work. :( I was able to try my lunch date's Hawaiian plate had a yummy green sauce and my fave was the broccolini and the prawns. The meat was either salty or too sweet. I think the coconut rice flavor addition was too much for this plate with the various flavor profile combinations. He should have went plain rice IMO! As for my Bibimbap- there was way too much pickled options (house Kim chi and suno mono) in my chef's ktown bibimbap plate that I wasn't able to finish it. I really liked the mushrooms. I did ask for quinoa mixed with rice. An overall 3.5 rating from us for this visit. I had to rush out back to work so left my lunch date to cover the tab. I'd love to come back and try loco moco and their happy hour menu! Until next time.

Punch Mocktail

I've been here before and honestly had an attitude about the small menu and that it's fusion and seafood based (I am not a big fan of fusion or seafood). But the ambiance is lovely, so many plants, beautiful! The staff is very nice also. I didn't want to come a second time but I was in the area while my car was being serviced so I walked around. It was early in the day and not much else was open. I noticed their menu outside and that they have a BLT, great for my simple tastes. I sat down and wanted some juice, she recommended a mocktail of blended juice and it was friggin amazing. Also it was so well presented, cute as h*ll. I ordered the BLT and the flavors complimented each other so well. The aioli was amazing and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The avocado, lettuce, and tomato were super fresh. The bread was an almost biscuit consistency and fell apart pretty easy. And the sandwich itself was hard to bite since it was so tall. I ended up using a knife and fork but thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich. It comes with a side of Mac salad or slaw. I chose Mac salad as she advised me the slaw has onions. I'm not a huge fan of Mac salad but the noodles were well cooked and the dressing had a bit of a kick, I feel a Mac salad liking person would really enjoy this. I haven't explored the drink menu yet but I think I will come back to see about the cocktails since I know I can be boring with my ordering.

Hawaiian bbq
Eloy G.

Visited this place with my guest during lunch and so glad I did! While prices are a little on the higher side for the smaller plates they serve, the quality was on point and the flavor was great! The service was excellent and the flavor of the food was excellent. The chicken was so tender and the coconut shrimp made a little different than what I'm used to but overall really good. Will definitely be back again! The ambiance was great downtown small and intimate atmosphere. Very cool place to enjoy and have a nice quality meal.

Hawaiian barbecue plate
Olivia G.

Such a cute restaurant in El Dorado Hills and townCenter. I finally tried this restaurant that my friend has been recommending and I'm glad we tried it yesterday. I had the coconut prawns and my husband had the Hawaiian barbecue plate both were super delicious and tasty and they felt so fresh and clean to eat these meals. I definitely recommend this restaurant with the amazing service, delicious food, and wonderful views

Once again Yelp, and a local principal, came through with a great little restaurant! Very tropical feel, and the ladies there are super nice! Hawaiian flair food. The homemade spam was excellent, could use a bit more rice to go with it. I had pork belly tacos and they were good. My daughter had the poke' nachos, and they were good, but she wished they were on won ton chips instead of tortilla chips. All in all, we would go back for sure! Oh and they have cool drinks for happy hour!

Chef's Island Ranch Salad
Valerie A.

Hard to believe that this was my first time eating here. Came with a friend for lunch and was so glad we did! The vibe is so beautiful, very hip, lots of beautiful plants and decor while remaining clean and inviting. I knew it was all gluten-free but hadn't realized the Hawaiian spin but I love it. It's all kinds of food I love to eat. I was tempted to try the Cloud Poke (and I will come back for that!) but once I saw the Chef's Island Salad that someone else had ordered I knew I had to get it too. It was incredible - lots of avocado, carrot, lettuce, perfectly dressed and an enormous portion of the huli-huli chicken, which was so tender and flavorful. I couldn't begin to eat all of it so I took some of it home. The prices aren't cheap but for the quality and the portion I thought they were completely fair. Our server was super friendly and helpful too and she added to the great atmosphere. The place is small so make a reservation but don't let that stop you from checking it out. I can't wait to come back.

Sweet Potato Tacos

Had dinner at Native & Nomad with a friend, and it did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The fish tacos and mushroom tacos were both outstanding, the poke bowl was incredibly fresh, and the sweet potato & avocado bowl (not pictured!) was just as delicious. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the service was friendly and attentive, and even the mocktails were creative and refreshing. If you're looking for a place with amazing food, a great atmosphere, and excellent service, I highly recommend Native & Nomad. We'll definitely be back!

Small portions. It used to be I could say bang for your buck. But quality, quantity, and service has all gone down. We were so hungry by the time we got our food that we forgot to take pictures not that they would've been worth it. We are going to wait a few few months to go back to see if there are any improvements if not, it will be our last time going. We used to go at least twice a month.

Loco Moco
Lindsey C.

Came in for an early dinner after a hike and swimming. Dining area was all but empty when we arrived, but features lush house plants and reggae vibes. At a prior visit we had this awesome server who told us the place has grow lights keeping it lush. Gives it a hipster vibe reminiscent of Portland pre-covid. The outdoor patio was more extensive than the two small tables featured out front of the store. It wraps around the side of the restaurant. I think we will sit outside next time. The Loco Moco is always a hit. It comes with a salty, heart brown gravy over a thick burger patty and meaty maitake mushrooms and rice. 10/10. The gravy with the mushrooms and the beef is a great combo. I think I'll try it with coconut rice next time. The POG and Maverick Margaritas also hit, and are upscale pretentious cocktails. The Maverick is some kind of classy clarified Margarita over a very large ice cube with salt rim. The POG is passion orange guava juice with lime and a tajin rim, not too sweet but flavorful. I tried the Miso Mahi Mahi with Coconut Rice today to switch it up. It comes over a bed of carrots and caramelized red onions. It was quite good. My favorite is still the Loco Moco. We tried the coconut prawns and they were not what we anticipated. They are not the traditional friend panko and coconut you'd expect. This is a coconut shrimp cocktail. No breading, just lukewarm limp shrimp with a coconut cream based sauce poured over and some type of slaw. I prefer the traditional serving, but I applaud the creativity. Stick with the signature cocktails and Loco Moco and try the patio.

Inside decor
Melanie R.

I've had this place on my list of places to try in the area, and I am really glad I did! It was really easy to make a reservation. The ambiance inside is delightful- clean, open, bright, tastefully decorated. We ordered cold brew coffee with coconut cream which was delicious. We also had the Poke Nachos which were phenomenal! Crispy tortilla chips, incredible fresh poke, avocado, cucumber, mango, and the sauces complimented the toppings really well. The ratio of chips to sauce to toppings was perfect, which is surprising difficult to find! Overall I will definitely be back here and can't wait to try one of their delicious looking cocktails!

What kind of gluten-free flour is used? I'm allergic to nuts and tree nuts so I need to know what bread dishes to avoid.

Do you need a reservation or do they accept walk-ins?

Walk ins only and first come first serve. Reservations are for 4 ppl from 5:30-7:30 and 6 ppl from 7:30-8. The restaurants is smaller and that's why reservations don't work.

Drum roll please... the outdoor patio is fabulous and exudes a relaxing and "I'm on vacation" ambiance. It is actually why I made that first reservation. Location, location, location. Right?

The cherry on the top of the special atmosphere and delicious food and spirits is of course incredible customer service.

We wrapped up with a lemon dessert that added a bright, refreshing note to finish the meal. We sat outside which made for a relaxing setting.

The hamburger is always a favorite of mine. Big juicy burger patty. The brioche bun is toasted. Fresh fixings. Pricing isn't outrageous. The banana coconut pudding parfait is another go to for me. It's vegan and dairy free and all so delicious! On my last visit, I ordered the red wine braised short rib. It was reheated as all their hot entrees are pre-made. It was not as tender as I anticipated it to be. But it did have a nice flavor. The interior has a modern farmhouse look with a family friendly vibe. The wall to wall windows bring in a lot of light and relaxing views of the town center. The dining room has a lot of seating. There is also an outdoor patio. Since this is not sit down service, there isn't any pressure to rush your dining experience. Another tidbit is that they don't have restrooms on site; the public town center restrooms are located 'round the corner.

A Hidden Gem in El Dorado Hills Amazing Food & Even Better…read moreHospitality! My wife and I stopped by Vine EDH for lunch today while we were in El Dorado Hills for a doctor's appointment. We were hungry, happened to stumble upon this cozy little spot, and I'm so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by Jaime, who was working behind the bar. Right away, I told my wife, "She looks like she owns the joint." Turns out--I was right! We asked Jaime for her recommendations, and she suggested the tri-tip tacos. We went with those along with the chicken caprese sandwich and truffle fries. The kitchen happened to be having an issue with the oven that day, so the food took a little longer than Jaime wanted. But my wife and I honestly didn't mind one bit. We were enjoying some rare time alone away from the kids, having a great conversation, and chatting with Jaime. She was incredibly personable and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. Then the food started arriving. First up were the tri-tip tacos, and they were absolutely scrumptious. The meat was flavorful and tender, with just the right balance of zest and saltiness. They disappeared pretty quickly! Next came the chicken caprese sandwich, and WOW. The chicken was tender, the fresh mozzarella paired perfectly with the spinach, and everything came together beautifully. It was an amazing sandwich. But for me, the unexpected star of the show was the truffle fries topped with cheese. Crispy, piping hot, cheesy, and ready to be devoured. I could have easily eaten another order by myself. My wife enjoyed a refreshing glass of white wine, while I was the responsible driver for the day and stuck with a near beer. Then came the biggest surprise. When I pulled out my credit card to pay, Jaime told us that our entire meal and drinks were on the house because of the delay. We were genuinely shocked. The funny thing is, we weren't upset about the wait at all. We had enjoyed every minute of our lunch. But that gesture told us everything we needed to know about Jaime and the way she runs her business. She truly takes pride in Vine EDH and genuinely cares about making sure every person who walks through the door has an amazing experience. Great food will bring you into a restaurant, but hospitality like that is what makes you remember it and want to come back. We will absolutely be returning the next time we're in El Dorado Hills. Except next time, I'm making sure we bring some cash so we can leave a BIG tip for the amazing bartender who just happens to be the owner too! Thank you, Jaime, for the incredible food, your kindness, and especially your amazing hospitality. You turned what was supposed to be a quick lunch into one of the highlights of our day. Vine EDH absolutely earned five stars from us. We'll be back!

The staff were super friendly and professional from the start, and the restaurant itself is really nice inside. The dim lighting gives it a cozy dinner vibe, and it was cool being able to watch them make and stretch the dough through the kitchen windows. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, so we got to try a little bit of everything. The focaccia came out thick and fluffy with olive oil and balsamic for dipping, which was a nice start. The bone marrow presentation was interesting and came with beef tartare and chips which were super appetizing. The light chips were very light which I enjoyed. The meatballs were HUGE and covered in sauce and plenty of cheese, but flavor wise they were just okay for me. One of the meatballs was super burnt and dry. We also tried a few pastas, including the carbonara and some of the red sauce pastas. They looked great and definitely didn't hold back on the cheese, but overall the pasta wasn't anything I'd say was to die for. It was good, just nothing that really stood out. The pizza was probably one of the better things we ordered the crust was nicely charred and fluffy, there were plenty of toppings, and I'm glad they weren't stingy with the ranch. Overall, I'd give it 3 stars. Nothing was necessarily bad, and the service and atmosphere were both great, but for the food and prices I was expecting a little more of a wow factor. We had a nice dinner and enjoyed trying everything, but is this somewhere I'd randomly start craving and have to come back to? Probably not. Still worth trying at least once if you're already in the area and in the mood for Italian.

Finally a place where we can say "yes, choose what you want " to my daughter!…read more We found Caring Kitchen about 6 months ago, and have now been a weekly or biweekly frequent of the Rancho store, and occasionally stop by the Orangevale location. My daughter is allergic to everything, soy, dairy, egg, fish & shellfish. She can safely eat out at 4 places, and Caring Kitchen is one of them. We stop by every time there is a birthday party to pick up a cupcake so she can be included with her peers. We stop by for fun, we stop by because everyone deserves to be able to go to a store and say pick what you want. Now, for those of you who are like us and are worried about some cross contamination, Rancho does have nuts and soy. We have never had an issue with cross contamination with soy, everything is clearly labeled, and the team does a great job confirming any allergy's. I would double check depending on your nut severity, but many things seem to be pre-wrapped for this reason. The other location is even more allergy free (nut and soy free).

However, coming from a standard diet, the textures of these products fell short. It might be a great option for those with strict dietary needs, but for anyone just curious to try it out, the recipes could use a bit of refining.
