Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Fair Oaks

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!

We decided to start our Thanksgiving off with a bang by having breakfast at The Grange at 10am.  I have the fluffy eggdish, my stepmom had the enchiladas, and my friend had the ricotta pancakes. my stepmom said that the enchilada was the best she ever had. All delicious.

Our server was amazing. She really elevated the experience of our visit. She was knowledgeable about the menu, food & drink. She made an excellent suggestion on what to order, and knew her stuff. Fine dining experience in a mid-priced establishment.

First time dining and found the experience excellent. Food was great in both quality and quantity. Service from our server was very attentive and helpful. I would definitely return for future special engagements.

Have a reservation. Staff was ever present, but not distracting. Food was well and timely presented. They've done this before! Efficient. Food was prepared to customers request, Our waitress "Ella" was very accomodating.
