I've lived here my whole life and I finally made it down to the Buena Vista restaurant. I wasn't…read morecertain how/where to order and when I asked the kitchen staff I was wordlessly pointed to the store's front counter. The clerk handed us menus and gave some helpful suggestions. You pay up front, then you walk your order ticket across the way to the kitchen staff. After that we found a table outside. It was 91* degrees outside at 6:00 on a July day. In their covered outdoor seating (with fans) it was a decent 87*. Really wasn't bad at all, though there is indoor seating and a separate saloon area. Cash only pool tables are both indoors and outdoors. My husband had the California burrito which was quite large. He enjoyed the Spicy Sauce and had the Extra Hot Sauce on the side. He said the Extra Hot Sauce had some heat, but not much flavor. I had the bacon cheeseburger. It was well cooked and again, quite large. Everything was good, though I like big flavor and thought the burger could benefit from some seasoning or a sauce, but that's just me. Otherwise, a solid bacon cheeseburger. Overall, it was an enjoyable night.

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 !

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!

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.

It was really cute and quaint, the ambiance gave me historic vibes and I loved it!! We sat inside cuz of how cold it was outside. I ordered 2 drinks for myself, the chips (so amazing with the sauce/dip) and the grilled cheese sandwich (not too shabby). There wasn't many options for food but found that they keep it very limited due to the hours of operation. So that cleared it up. What I found very interesting was that we had to order at the bar for our food and drinks. Even though there was a server and a bartender, so I found it very odd. But they did bring our food and drinks to us so that was nice! For all of the things I ordered it came out to like $43. To me, a bit steep for just myself only but what can I expect haha. Will def bring my family back here again though!

It was a nice day so we opted to sit in their patio. It was really nice out there under the shade overlooking the hills. We started with calamari. The portion was very small for $15 in my opinion.

My friend opted for the same but with mashed potatoes and they brought both plates with mashed potatoes. I had to wait, I would say 5 to 10 minutes for them to bring out my macaroni, hence the picture. My order was good, but I really enjoyed their macaroni and cheese. The service was a bit slow considering it wasn't too busy. For dessert, I tried the lemon berry mascarpone delight. That was really good. I would recommend getting that if you're looking for a dessert. The cheesecake tasted a little too bland for me.

Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Our server checked in at the right times, kept drinks filled, and made sure everything came out correctly without making us feel rushed. The food was also very solid. Everything came out fresh, well presented, and at a good temperature. The portions were reasonable, and you can tell there is some thought put into both the presentation and overall quality of the dishes. I especially liked that the menu has enough variety for different tastes without feeling overwhelming. The location is also convenient, and the dining room has a comfortable, relaxed feel. Even when it was busy, the experience still felt organized and the staff seemed to handle everything well. Prices are a little higher than a basic casual restaurant, but considering the atmosphere, service, and food quality, I thought it was fair overall. Overall, South Fork Grille is a dependable spot in El Dorado Hills if you want good food, friendly service, and a nicer atmosphere without going somewhere overly fancy. I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu.
