“ Had a wonderful experience at Enchanted Forrest! I ordered the chicken caprese for dinner with the prosciutto asparagus for an appetizer. They also brought a complimentary chocolate cake dessert for my spouse as a birthday treat. The vibe here is so cute and the ambiance is amazing. Live music was played throughout the night. One thing to note is the restaurant does recommend planning to stay for 2 hours as the food can take some time to come out. Will be back again for sure! ”
“ Charming restaurant complete with whimsical headbands for guest. Hospitality refreshingly positive. We both had the salmon dinner and were surprised by the healthy portions. Want to go back and try the Shepherd Pie and cheese fo ”
“ 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. ”
“ This restaurant is a hidden gem. If it was located in San Francisco I feel like it would go viral online and become a crazy popular restaurant. I was captivated just from the sidewalk as I was looking for a place to have lunch with my friend during my first visit to placerville. We were warmly greeted with light up flower crowns (seriously!) and led inside this ethereal dining room to a lovely oak table. The servers were warm, friendly and professional and the meal was magical. There's beautiful footage of Ireland on the TVs with Irish music playing and it feels like a vacation. The menu is extensive with great options for every diet. I tried the butternut squash crepes which came with a salad and it was the most delicious meal I've ever had. Comforting, flavorful and wholesome! I can't say enough positive things about the Enchanted Forest. ”
“ Fun spot to take a kiddo, or for folks who want a different scene. Love the forest décor, tables with a ribbon of light, and fairy ears on the staff. Everyone gets a lighted flower crown, so you quickly feel part of the scene. Had the vegetable pasty, which was cheesy broccoli deliciousness. That plus the mashed potatoes makes for a hearty meal (actually, two meals). The kids meal grilled cheese is served on sourdough, which was a no go for the kiddo so if that's the case for you/yours, you may want to try another option (the pizza is a strong contender). They have multiple flavors of mead, which I've not seen anywhere else. I didn't have any, so I can't speak to them but it's a cool standout feature. I was lucky with street parking for an early Friday night dinner; I could see it getting busy later while folks are roaming downtown. ”
“ So this place had been on my list forever . I'm so glad we finally made it . It was more than an hour drive but so worth it . I was looking for a unique dinning experience and we found it . Walking in I felt like I was literally walking inside an enchanted forest . There is leaves ,trees and lights everywhere I loved it! Even the restroom was in theme . The theme is just a genius idea. Once we got seated we got greeted by our waiter named Marci she gave us some head bands that light up with flowers it definitely made me feel like a fairy super cute . Marci went above and beyond with her service she was super nice and attentive. For food we got the Strawberry Goat Salad to start with some drinks hubby got a Pliny beer and I got some hard Kombucha very good . After looking at the menu and trying to decide I went with the Short Rib the meat was so tender the mashed potatoes were so good too . The hubby got the Irish Gold Miners Pasty Pie it comes with edible gold wow .. The food was 10/10 so so delicious! Overall we had a great unique dinning experience . The theme was very cool we are so glad we got to experience it . The food and service was 10/10 so good and Marci was amazing. We found out a few restaurants from Placerville were featured on a Food Network show called Best Bite In Town . Enchanted Forest happened to be one of them featured on the show . Definitely a must watch show . I highly recommend this restaurant can't wait to go back . ”
“ I signed up to get texts from them, and they were nice enough to send me a coupon. So, I decided to come back for lunch again. Once again, overall, very good. The service was great. This time, I decided to have the shepherds pie pastie. It came with a very nice salad, with the same honey mead dressing that I had the last time, and also mashed potatoes on the side. The salad was good, I love that dressing,, and I really enjoyed the mashed potatoes. They had little pieces of potato in them, so you could tell that they were made from real potatoes. Very good. Because shepherds pie is made with lamb, the dish came with a mint jelly on the side. It was already good as it was, the mint jelly just put it over the top. The lamb was tender and delicious. However, the potatoes in the pastie were just a bit too al dente for my personal taste. Also, the crust, especially on the bottom, was a bit too brown for my personal taste. The meal was still very, very good. I won't take off a star, because I know that everybody's taste is different. Even before the coupon, the price was very reasonable. I will continue to come back. Thank you again. ”
