Pleasantly surprised!…read more We stopped here on a whim on our way back from South Lake Tahoe, after a round of golf. Walked in, not expecting much, but at least some decent food to feed our hungry belly's. It was Saturday evening around 615ish, front of house was running around, but when she spotted us, showed us to our table, gave menus, and apologized as it might be a minute before our server would be able to take our orders because it has suddenly gotten busier than expected (large place but only about 1/4 full, but with 2 large groups, one of which was just seated before us) she came back with waters while we looked at the menu. Once our server came she was polite and took our drink order, promising to be back to take our food order. Understandably it took longer than usual to come back, so another man came to take our order. He apologized for the wait and said he would be happy to take our orders. We think he was the manager or possibly owner, really nice gentleman. We ordered the tiger prawns and Brussels sprouts appetizers, I ordered fish n chips, my husband ordered the rib eye with Mac n cheese and our friend ordered the salmon. The Tiger Prawns and Brussels came out first and the tiger prawns were amazing! 5 large tiger prawns, a couple pcs of toasted baguette, and in a type of white wine garlic Alfredo sauce type. The sauce was perfection, as I dipped each bite of prawn and soaked the accompanied bread. The Brussels were just as amazing, fried to have a nice crisp to it, but not soaking in oil, so they must've been fried in the perfect temp oil or something, and the glaze was just right (a lot of places just drench them in glaze as they're sitting there soaked in oil, but not the case here!) The ribeye was cooked very well (medium rare) and the hubby thought the salt level was PERFECT. It was a little salty for me, but I don't like a lot of salt. My husband almost always orders a good steak when available, and he thought it was great. The accompanying side of veggies were great too! Heavy on the garlic, but we love garlic so we thought it was perfect. The fish n chips were good, fries were ok, but not my style. They were more like shoe string fries, but that's their thing and a lot of people like that style. The tartar sauce was surprisingly good, and not just that cheap store bought stuff a lot of places tend to give. Friend with the salmon said it was good and ate it all. The gentleman that took our order forgot to add the fish n chips, but quickly rectified it, apologizing and bringing out some fries for me to munch on as the fish was getting cooked. Not a big deal to me, as I was already happy with the other items we had. He also came to our table once we were done and chatted with us for a bit, which was very nice of him. Overall the food was pretty good and would recommend stopping here if you have a chance when you have some time to relax while you eat. The staff are all nice personable. Sorry I didn't get to take pics of everything, as we were all really hing

I was super excited and I guess it's been here for a while, so I guess it's not going anywhere. This place is amazing and it's so good! Everybody ordered something different and we all got to sample back-and-forth and we ordered enough so we would have stuff to take home and that was a pretty easy thing to do because the sizes of the plates are so big! And the value is really good too!! if you look at our pictures, the cod that we ordered is the small plate in the Wienerschnitzel is also a small plate! I had half a plate left on my beef stroganoff and we had half a plate left of the chicken Cordon Bleu because it was just so !! I almost felt like I was at the Matterhorn at Disneyland because this place is cute and classic at the same time and I feel like I'm taking a little bit of Germany home with me so excited to find this place We will be coming back for more because it's finding a little place in my heart that needed filling!!!

I have to say that a big part of this review as well was just how hellishly hot the restaurant was, if this is normally what you keep your thermostat to, y'all gotta be trying to really bring the island summer inside... I think I wetted my chair with sweat. But let's talk food, coconut shrimp were fine but just seemed like the normal run of the mill frozen bag, the bummer was the sauce, sauce for coconut shrimp to me should always be orange based, this was straight up a bottle of Mae Ploy Sweet Chili in a ramekin. The Crispy Sweet and Tangy beef, had an good texture but the flavor itself was really boring, again funny enough appeared to have Mae Ploy Sweet Chili dumped on top, it's really easy to make these sauces in house and make them unique. I was not able to taste the tacos, but my fried was NOT a fan, said the sauce was way off of what a fish taco should be and the fish was not blacked, that much was clear. Blackened means black y'all, crank up the heat and lay on the spice. Last thing was the Chicken Karrage, again ok texture, crunchy chicken but also chewy. The bummer was no sauce, whatsoever. Chicken Karrage has a specific sauce you would think it comes with, if not that the something unique. best we could do was the sauce from other our dishes, and soy. Come on again y'all, put some love into your menu. Little Sriracha Aoli would have made us happy there.

Make sure you get there early for the most amazing food in NORCAL. Food: The menu has a wide variety for everyone. On this day, we chose the Carne Asada Fries. Hands down the best any of us tasted. There were four of us and we all shared it and all equally satisfied. It's a meal on its own. Do not pass this up! We each order sandwiches; Turkey Club and Pastrami Reuben. Both with sweet potatoes. We asked if we could share the sandwiches. They quickly and very friendly said, of course. All four of us enjoyed our 1/2 sandwiches. One of us stated they were the best he has tasted in over 20 years. Every one of us was exceedingly pleased with our meals. We will be making this a regular stop on our wine tasting journeys. We already stated that breakfast will be our next sampling. This really is a gem hidden away in the beautiful El Dorado Wine Country. And it is most definitely worth the trip!

I ordered the lamb persillade and my husband had the NY strip steak. We also ordered the bacon brussels sprouts. My lamb was cooked perfectly and not overly seasoned. My husband's steak was a beautiful cut of meat, cooked perfectly, but way over salted for my taste. The rolls were fresh out of the over and delish! The brussels sprouts yummy. The meals were served with what appeared to be frozen broccoli, which detracted a bit from the farm to fork vibe, but it was cooked well, so not reason to hate on it too much! We were super sad that we were too full to order dessert because they looked amazing!!
