Restaurants near Grizzly Guard Station

We dined at Enchanted Forest Thanksgiving evening. Despite being really busy, the hustle and bustle, chatter of other diners, lovely Celtic music in the background, it was even more enchanting! We had made reservations for 2 and initially were a bit disappointed we were seated at a high top parallel to the bar. With that said, it all worked out since there were only 2 of us and the activity near us definitely kept us entertained and the conversation flowing. It was a pre-fixe menu and EVERYTHING on the menu made it difficult to decide. Hubby at the shortrib and I the salmon. The 4-course meal (salad, soup, entree and dessert) were all yummy. I do wish they would have had the live music throughout the evening and not for just the afternoon. Service was a tad slow but expected due to the volume of guests and potential guests seeking to have a shared meal with a loved one/s on this day of thankfulness and gratitude. They might have been short on staff, but that could also be attributed to the high of guests that day-evening. I would have given 5 stars but wanted to leave room for improvement. Overall, a lovely evening and a must for people of all ages. AND YES, we both wore our lighted head wreaths throughout the entire evening. If planning a trip to downtown Placerville...or...consider planning a trip to downtown Placerville, we highly suggest The Enchanted Forest Dining Experience. It is wonderful!

This restaurant was leaps and bounds above the rest!! The hospitality was 10 stars. The food 10 stars, the service 10 stars. We ordered all the appetizers and each one was fantastic. My husband especially love the Smashburger. Thank you for an amazing experience. We will be back.

Since it was our first time my daughter and I ordered more than we needed. We started off with the wagyu meatballs and the lobster risotto. Both were amazing. Most restaurants have 1-2 meat balls but this was a plate of meatballs, small but very tasty. The risotto was as good as expected from this restaurant. My daughter ordered the Jidori chicken and she loved it. Large portion and she even ate the kale that was with it. I had the filet cooked medium and it was spot on. So tender that as I cut into it it wanted to fall apart. We ordered the baked Mac and cheese, which was forgotten but arrived mid meal. It is a must try. Sean was our server and very detailed on each item we asked about. We plan to visit another HK sometime soon.

We had a great experience. Food was delicious and our server was great.

Favorite place to eat in Placerville!! Tyrone is the best.
