It's decently large inside with two bar areas. One to the left when you walk in and one to the right. They have indoor seating towards the back, and you can sit in the bar as well. We had our dog with us and sat outdoors. They had tables and cute lounge couches with a fire pit it looked like. The workers there were all so friendly, and happy to chat. I got the country fried steak and loved it, I never order it on a menu but felt like being different and so happy I did. The batter was crispy and the gravy was so delicious. My husband had a burger and said it was good, he said a bit over cooked but not by much was still a medium rare. We had micheladas to drink with the blonde ale they had on tap!

Huge shoutout to our bartender, Ginger, who was an absolute sweetheart and went above and beyond to give us a wonderful experience. The Lube Room is now a mandatory stop for us whenever we travel through Ebbetts Pass or vacation in the area!

I've never had a bad meal or experience here. The service is noteworthy as well, you feel welcomed by the friendly staff, and no is usually not answer you hear here. We'll be back for many more visit! Do note that when you make a reservation, that you'll be sitting in the dining room with a couple of prefix menu options. Whereas sitting at the bar without a reservation is the way to go if you like to order from the smaller bar menu and still have the flexibility to order from the full menu.

What an incredible first visit to Taste in Plymouth!…read more The restaurant itself is cozy, beautiful, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our server, Bessie, was absolutely amazing, kind, funny, and so helpful in answering all of our questions during our first visit. Now, onto the food! The appetizers alone could have been a meal. The Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had, and as a girlie who doesn't usually love soup, I have to say the corn soup my husband ordered was delicious bursting with flavor and perfectly creamy. My husband chose the burger with truffle fries, and they absolutely nailed it. The bacon jam, arugula, goat cheese aioli... every bite was incredible, and the fries were amazing. I had the steak with scalloped potatoes and carrots, and as someone who typically likes her meat well done, I can honestly say this steak was excellent. Dessert was mouthwatering and packed with flavor. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of food and exceptional service we received. We visited on Saturday, the day before Father's Day and two days before my birthday. Not only did they personalize my dessert with a birthday message, but they also surprised me with a birthday card signed by the team. Then, just five days later, a handwritten thank-you card and birthday wishes arrived at my home. That is the kind of service that leaves a lasting impression. Thank you, Taste, for such a memorable first experience. We will absolutely be back!

For starters we had an order oysters and an order of bone marrow. They both tasted as expected-delicious. The oysters were not dry or undercooked. Just perfect. For our entrees our group had the skirt steak which comes with mash potatoes and green beans. The meat was great quality and the beans were cooked al dente. We also tried the chicken Parmesan--big portion accompanied by marinara sauce. Another great choice was the wine braised short ribs: very tender and plentiful atop mashed potatoes and vegetable medley. Real tasty, I had to steal a corner from my wife . We had a great experience. Our server was attentive and helpful. I would definitely go back for more. Happy bites !

We also had a cup of clam chowder and I thought it was so good! Kind of unexpected for a small restaurant in the foothills but it was cooked nice and thick with the right amount of clams. People next to us had this amazing looking gigantic cheeseburger that made me wish I was hungrier! I would definitely recommend!

We recently visited Element in Sutter Creek for a special occasion and ended up giving it mixed…read morereviews. The mimosas were fantastic and at $6, honestly a steal. They kept them coming once we asked, and they were delicious every time. But we had to keep asking, and at one point, we almost gave up. That said, the service was pretty underwhelming, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy. We waited close to 20 minutes before getting our first drinks, even water. We had noted a special occasion on our reservation, but there wasn't really anything that made it feel acknowledged or special. We shared the skillet, and unfortunately it was extremely soggy. We literally poured liquid out of it multiple times. On the flip side, the lemon poppyseed waffle was a solid 10/10 and definitely the standout food item for us. I'm giving 3 stars because there's clearly potential here. The drinks were great, the waffle was amazing, and I do think this place could easily be a 5-star experience with more attentive service and a little more consistency in the kitchen. We'll definitely give it another try.

In short: -Cute…read morelittle restaurant attached to a hotel -Food was okay - hit or miss. -Service was not great. - parking very limited- 6 spot? And technically only for hotel guests. I was excited to try this place as I was in town for a wedding and it had good reviews. It has potential but unfortunately today was a let down. My vegan friend had gone the night before and enjoyed her peanut noodle bowl with tofu! So that's good apparently) So we had high hopes but when we went today before 10am they were out of black beans for the one vegan option for my friend and didn't offer to make it without or anything it was painful to watch and to eat in front of her. Lattes looked good. My boyfriend is not picky but said the house coffee was average and got the All Sutter Creek- bacon eggs and toast and it just looked sad. Bacon was burnt, wheat toast was small and looked like cheap wonderbread. Eggs were fine but nothing better then we have at home he said. I got the Handford Benedict and it looked good but tasted strange. I didn't like the hollandaise sauce, it was tangy. Eggs were cooked well and potatoes were good, but overall with prosciutt ( meh), steamed unseasoned spinach and goat cheese made it too tangy. Hot sauce made it edible. French toast looked yummy with a nice amount of fruit on top and my friend seemed to enjoy it. I don't think I'd come back since the food is so unpredictable. A few things to fix - the bench seat wobbled whenever anyone moved at the other end, and the hot sauce wooden cap needs to be glued on! - it keep turning and comes off and gets glue in peoples food and looks gross underneath. I hope this helps you guys improve.

Stopped in with a colleague during a business trip to the area based entirely on the fact that it…read morewas close to my hotel, appeared to have some decent looking BBQ and burger choices on the menu, and I could smell the smokey goodness from the parking lot. But how could I know that experience (and the service!! OMG the service!!!) was going to be so outstanding, that I would come back again the next evening to eat again?? The first night it was happy hour, with a spicy jalapeño mule, buffalo cauliflower, smoked Brussel sprouts, and a couple of beers. But the service was so attentive (almost too attentive) that we felt like we had to watch for gaps so we could take a bite or a sip in between folks checking in to see if we needed more food, more refills, or just a friendly hello! The next night was burgers, and brews, and bloody Marys - and again, the most amazing thoughtful, interactive and attentive service I have ever seen! And being a business owner, I can tell you that it's not enough to have a beautiful setting on the river with great views and a decent menu. Having servers, managers, bartenders (hell even the bussers had smiles and were polite and friendly) absolutely seals the deal. I really have no reason to go back to to El Dorado Hills in the near future other than work, but because of this single restaurant experience, I can tell you I am trying to find more reasons to return!

We also ordered the shrimp appetizer, it was absolutely delicious but quite small. The taste was 10/10, perfect spice level and the wonton crisps were perfectly crispy and fresh without being greasy at all. The lettuce portion is covered in a dressing that creates an added layer to the dish. I love the atmosphere of South Fork, it's dim, romantic, and somehow perfect for a girls (or boys) night out. They do have sports quietly playing on the tvs. There's always a little room to wiggle in at the bar. Will absolutely be back!
