[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is SO cool and unlike anything I've ever experienced. The second you walk in you get a light up headband, there's live Renaissance music playing, and the decor is completely over the top fairytale vibes everywhere you look... even the bathrooms look like you're in an actual forest, which is insane.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were lucky enough to get one of the forest booths and it really feels like you're sitting inside an enchanted woodland.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely loved it and would go back in a heartbeat for the ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For food and drinks -- the mead flight is so fun and I loved the honey flavor. The original mead was my favorite. The chicken pasty pie is a must -- get one for yourself, don't share it. Trust me. The fondue was a fun group experience but I honestly wouldn't recommend it for the food itself...the ingredients and sauces were below average and expensive for a group. Stick to the pies, sip your mead, soak up the ambiance, and have the best time!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Enchanted Forest is one of those rare places that feels like you've stepped into another world the moment you walk in. The whimsical fairy-tale décor, twinkly lights, and storybook details make it feel timeless... like dining inside a fantasy novel![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the real surprise? The food is genuinely amazing. This isn't just a cute theme restaurant! the dishes are thoughtful, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It's the kind of place where the ambiance draws you in, but the quality of the food makes you want to come back again and again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also fantastic for kids. My toddlers were completely enchanted by the setting, and it's one of the few places where adults and kids can both feel delighted at the same time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]BUT somehow it's also the type of place you could sit at the bar and have the best girls night (with the complimentary sparkly flower crowns, of course)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was perfect, all the gals are delightful. If you're looking for a magical dining experience that's actually delicious, Enchanted Forest is absolutely worth the trip.

Chicken pastie/pie...not the best choice

Definitely come for the experience. We did.... but the food is good, too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some of the wait staff really got into the theme, wearing elf ears as we were served under a forest lit night scape with twinkling lights everywhere. We were also given colorful lit crowns as part of the fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was very attentive and friendly, and had a nice conversation with us. They have themed drinks, which I typically do NOT enjoy, but the poison apple drink was perfect. Just enough bourbon and fruit flavors mixed...very good. The food was good...I simply chose wrong. The baked brie appetizer was very good, as were the various fruit compotes and chutneys to dip it in. The pasties, on the other hand....just tasted of bland meat mixed with fried spices in a puff pastry. Not very good. My wife's steak, however, was cooked perfectly, and she gulped down the shrimp. She already wants to come back, and that's saying something...besides limiting to 2 drinks. ;) Overall, a fun time, and I definitely will come back, but will probably change up my food choices

I've been meaning to try this place and finally got to go with my girlfriends for my birthday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very cute fairy forest theme.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was very friendly and attentive. The steak was super moist and delicious but the salmon was a little too sweet and the corned beef pasty was a little too dry. Overall, it was a great experience especially for birthdays bc they give out a piece of delicious chocolate cake with happy birthday written on the plate. We ordered the key lime pie with blackberry and that was really amazing. It's a place you have to try at least once for the experience.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and fun experience at Enchanted Forest.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were given fairy light crowns to wear right away which were super cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the Prosciutto Bacon Wrapped Asparagus starter and Three Course Fondue. The Cheese Fondue with Gouda was tasty and complex. The Main Fondue with steak, shrimp, grilled chicken and meatballs was delicious, and the dark chocolate fondue dessert was perfect with the fruit but too sweet when paired with the cookies and treats. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, I highly recommend for the fun atmosphere and quality food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

What a gem and memorable experience for my family! Have kids? This is a one in a lifetime experience and would very highly recommend it at least once if you're able to (priorities first!). Magical ambience with lights twinkling in a forest enchantment environment. Biggest tip I can offer? Make a reservation ahead of time and don't settle for regular table seating - keep looking through each day and the multiple time slots for a seating at their magical table experiences. We were fortunate to sit at their Fun Nature Fort Booths. No difference in service or anything like that, it's just that you'll get to have booth side tables with a towering curved leafy vine above you with a warm lantern lighting your way.. through the forest.. of fairy time enchantment. And if your kids (or yourself) have a heightened imagination (or they just can't sit still), you'll be glad to have those booths. They give you magical crowns that light up! And yes, you get to keep them so don't throw them away or leave them behind. Service was fantastic, food was simply delicious and absolutely amazing, main dining room was a magical experience, and their bathrooms were quite a surprise! Pictures are worth a thousand words - aaaand I'll leave it at that. Drinks. Must try - Forest Flight of Meads where you get 5 flavors infused with deliciousness. Our favorite was Chai! Oh so good! But NOT a fan of the Apple flavored. Also had Fairytini and Lavendar Leprechaun - both of which helped us forget our toddlers for a moment. Food. Forest and Sea - hands down winner! Filet mignon (medium rare), scallops, and shrimp cooked to perfection. Popular order is the boneless braised beef short ribs - super soft, mouth savory, but just not my cup of tea. If you're into braised beef, though, then you're going to love it! If ever, would love to try their Irish gold miner's pasty pie.. looks like an entree for coming champions. Maybe grow a tuft of chest hair with each bite? Appetizers we had were Lobster Seafood Bisque soup (bowl) and Irish Whiskey Shrimp - both were top notch glory enchantments! Dessert. Blackberry key lime pie. Trust me on this. Each bite with a flavor explosion of blackberries and lime.. incredible! Parking. Good luck with this. I know there're time limitations but luckily no meter maid that day.. I don't think it's enforced much but just keep in mind there are time limits. Street parking if you're lucky, otherwise it might be a bit of a walk for ya. Highly recommended to try AT LEAST ONCE with your family and give the little ones a core memory they won't forget.

I have been wanting to try this place since seeing it on IG but it was quite a bit away so have been putting it off. We decided to suck it up and drive the 1.5hrs. First impression: very cute and cozy. I loved the greenery and wooded walls. A bit cramped once you go in and sit. Like I don't think they could add anything else. But the waiters can walk around and thats all that matters I guess. We got these cute floral headbands which I thought was fun. Our waitress was polite, took our orders quickly, told us about the specials and was attentive. The food was unfortunately not impressive. For apps we ordered lobster bisque and tapas. The soup we never received, the tapas they were out of one. The smoked salmon and goat cheese and apple were great! The prosciutto and fig was the one that was out and the baked brie we ordered 2 of. It was TERRIBLE. It tasted like raw feta (yuck!!) untoasted bread, some pickled something and idk what the white things were on it. Just bad. Nothing baked or brie about it. For entrees we had braised rib and one of the special pasty pies they had (steak and mushroom). My husband said the rib was mid. The steak and mushroom pasty was nothing special. Dessert was fluffy cheesecake and keylime pie. The cheesecake was great. Not overly sweet at all. Almost european in its taste of stronger cheese than sweetness. The key lime was very sweet tart and rich but good. All in all I enjoyed the aesthetic, the service was good, food came out quickly but the food was unfortunately not worth the drive/hype/price. Which sucks bc I feel like it started off good with apps and seemed promising. unfortunately the entrees were not great and that seems normal for these themed places. If I could give a 3.5 stars i would as that is more how I feel.

When we first learned about Enchanted Forest, we really wanted to check it our but regretfully it took their closing announcement to finally get us there. But good news, they aren't closing anymore! Enchanted Forest is a unique, charming experience with delicious food and excellent customer service. The restaurant is small but as you enter you are welcomed by fairies then further in emersed into the forest. We were able to get a Nature Fort Booth which seemed more magical than Under the Tree. The kids enjoyed the wooden and log designed cushions and lights on the table. The servers all have fairy ears and guests are given fairy lights which add to the experience. The menu is a bit short but there is something for everyone. My husband and I ordered the Irish Gold Miners Pie and Boneless Braised Beef Short Rib while the kids got the Three Course Experience with pizza and chicken on a stick. The presentation of the Irish Gold Miners Pie was pretty cool as it is topped with edible gold flakes. The outer crust was flaky and inside filled with corn beef and potatoes. My husband said it had good flavor and he was surprised by the large portion and how much filling was in the pie. The Braised Beef Short Rib was saucy, savory, tender and went really well with the mashed potatoes and vegetables. I could really taste the mead and garlic flavors in the beef. As for the kids' meals, they enjoyed their fresh fruit, the grilled chicken is just that; grilled chicken on a stick and pizza was just okay. The highlight of their meals was the mini fondue where they dipped fruits, marshmallows, and other treats in chocolate. A little pricey but the food is good and don't forget you are paying for an experience. The kids dressed as a wizard and fairy for extra fun. If you have littles, especially little who love fairies and magic, I recommend checking the Enchanted Forest out at least once.

I have been to enchanted forest several times and I've had an amazing experience every time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is really what makes this restaurant, when you arrive you are given light up flower crowns which really enhance the experience and match the ambient lighting in the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The waitresses are always dressed up in ren faire attire which also adds to the experience, when I came here for my birthday last year they even had someone playing live music which was really cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've had the baked brie before which is delicious and has the perfect amount of balance with the crackers and good portion size. The stuff portebello mushroom are my go to entree each time, the lentils mixed with the cheese and plant based Italian sausage is so delicious plus I love that it comes with carrots and a side salad. I also love getting the mead flight and had one last year when I went for my birthday for this recent trip with my boyfriend I got their peach mead and it was soooo good. I know mead is considered a sweeter alcohol but I really like it. And getting the flight to share with my friends last year in May was perfect! For desert at my recent visit my boyfriend and I tried their decadent triple chocolate cake, it was perfect it was light and fluffy and not super dense like most chocolate cakes are. Overall I highly recommend this place to come on a date night, celebrate your birthday or just to come to experience the enchanted forest!

The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. BUT. To begin with, we had a reservation at 7pm and were not seated until almost 8pm. The food took almost an hour to arrive. The only reason I ate my food was because I paid for it. It was bland, lacked salt in every aspect. The entire menu is overpriced and definitely does not taste the part. Simply disappointed. If you are hungry and like seasoning, go elsewhere. read more

First time coming; everyone is super friendly, super helpful, and super attentive! Our server, Tyler, was helpful with drink and food recommendations. The owner even came by to check on us since there were two large parties ahead of us, and wanted to make sure we were taken care of while waiting. Tyler gave us a full rundown of the menu and his recommendations did not disappoint! All four of us were so happy with our choices. Two of us ordered the braised beef and it was tender and flavorful and would tell anyone coming to order the same! The ambiance was beautiful and we will definitely be coming back! read more

This was on my must try list. We didn't have reservations and they were booked. The only option was the bar. It was warm inside and the bar was a great option, with fans going. Dominic was behind the bar and made our dinner great. The Mead sampler was fun. We had the braised beef, which Dominic recommended. It was delicious, my husband loved it. We saved room for dessert. My husband had the cheesecake and I had the black berry key lime pie. Wow. Both of us finished our pies. Everything was better because of the service we received. Small and great ambiance. Hot day, warm place we didn't notice. Food great, service excellent. Try the bar, you won't be disappointed. Worth the drive, we'll be back. read more

At 7 a transgender couple came in and didn't have a reservation and didn't want to sit at the bar tables. The hostess didn't want to deal with the situation so she gave our table to them.

COVID-19 era: staff are very friendly but utilize semi enclosed "mouth shields" instead of masks. Outdoor dining matches interior theme and the flights are great. I highly recommend the cranberry mead. However, the food was mediocre at best. I was a bit disappointed about the lack of a kids menu but we tried to make due. My son had a grilled cheese which was maybe 2 slices of Swiss on a 4" French roll, served with a couple of strawberries and some wheat thins. My fiancé had the both variety of tapas, but her salmon was turning grey so she decided against finishing that. I had the chicken skewers which not only lacked seasoning, including salt, but were probably precooked/carved grocery chicken. To top it all off, we ordered crepes for dessert and were informed that the kitchen was out of crepes...how does a restaurant run out of water and flour? After our meal, we packed it up and went to McDonalds. Tl;dr come for atmosphere and drinks read more

Our family of four has been to this restaurant many times in the last couple of years. We consider it a special occasion restaurant. I celebrated my birthday there recently with our family of four. It was my birthday and we hadn't thought about where to eat as we have been super busy lately. We called on a Saturday morning and the owner, Kaitlyn answered the phone. She is a very accommodating and friendly lady. We chatted with her for a while. Even though they were fully booked, she finagled a reservation for us, which we highly appreciated! We had a 7:15 PM reservation under the tree and were looking forward to our fondue meal. Our server, Buffy was super friendly, and was doing the best job she could as they were very busy and seemed to be a little short staffed. She told us later that they were short a bartender, a server, and a chef that night. We don't like to be rushed when we are eating, especially during a special occasion meal. So we had nothing to complain about. We had to ask another server for a couple of things, but it was no trouble really. It seemed like they all help each other out, which is great. We ordered the four course fondue meal to share. I had a salad with green goddess dressing and it was delicious. The cheese fondue was wonderful and we enjoyed it very much with bread and the vegetables for dipping. The next course was the meat course and we ordered double portions of the filet mignon, shrimp, and scallops. The meats came with four dipping sauces. All the meats were super fresh and tender. Our only criticism is that they really need to work on their dipping sauces. The béarnaise sauce was the best one, but was not the most flavorful béarnaise I've had as it was too thin. It needed more tarragon and vinegar for that zippy, rich flavor. The other three dipping sauces were all sweet. They tasted like spicy barbecue, spicy Asian, and I'm not sure what the other sweet brown sauce was. It was too much sweet sauce for the meat. If the chef was to eliminate one or two of the sweet sauces and add one or two more creamy sauces, it would be so much better! Adding a creamy horseradish and an aioli sauce for example, and the meat fondue would be much more enjoyable! The last course was the chocolate fondue. The chocolate was dark chocolate, and it was delicious, however, they put candy sprinkles on top, which my husband and I don't like. Of course the kids didn't mind! Also, it was served warm in a bowl and not in a fondue pot, so that was disappointing. We felt we had to eat it faster instead of savoring it or It would cool off and not be as enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful time and meal. I know this restaurant entertains any new ideas and likes feedback from their customers. So here you have it! read more

What a quirky, cute place. I made a reservation for 8pm, thinking it was needed (it wasn't. But that was also due to weather last night). We arrived at 7:30 and got sat right away. We saw another table had little fairy light crowns on. We weren't offered that, but would have worn them. Part of the experience! The place is decorated cute. The table and countertops were adorable, the tree in the middle of the room with fairy lights, and the tables that are covered in a greenery arch.. so cute! There were 3 men singing songs, which was so fun to listen and watch them. Our waiter was super nice. He was funny and danced a bit. My sister and I split the chicken pastey, which came with mashed potatoes, and a salad. The pastey was good. It kind of reminded me of a homemade version of the chicken bake at Costco. I liked it. The mashed potatoes had zero salt or flavor. The salad had red onions, beets, pumpkin seeds and a delicious honey mustard dressing. For dessert, we ordered the banana strawberry Nutella crepe. Omg. Yum!! We were so stuffed!! My sister also had a lemon drink of sorts, it was good too. The total was about $60. It is pricey. My con, two of the seats at the table we sat at were broken. I also noticed the floor was quite dirty. Especially looking at what part of the kitchen floor you can see, all sorts of trash, condiment bottles and food on the floor. Just a bit off putting, especially when no one looked to be busy at that time. Overall, fun experience and good food. My sister and I wanna come back dressed as faeries to make it even funner! read more

I enjoyed the vibe of the place, very fantasy. We went later on in the day, and the only sources of light are the fake lanterns which are admittedly very aesthetically pleasing, but make it impossible to read the menu without taking out your phone to use the flashlight. The lanterns also flash to mimic a flame, which was very disorienting for us and we had to ask the server to change the setting on it. It had live performers, which was a lovely touch that really brought the place to life. However, the food is far overpriced for both the quality and quantity of it. Overall if you're rich enough that pricing doesn't matter and you just want a fantasy themed restaurant, this is the place for you. read more

Drove here for 30 min to try the fondue. Excellent customer service, that's the first thing that stands out for me. The place is very pretty, and they gave me a crown. The food is delicious, and definitely worth the price. It's $100 for two people. We were totally satisfied with food, service and experience. read more

This place was absolutely terrible. We made a reservation on a recommendation for my wife's 50th birthday with our two teenage sons. Needless to say, the ridiculous fairy crowns and fake decor was laughable. When we were told the fondue had to be reserved separately and then were served our steaks on plastic plates, it went from bad to worse. The live music was about the only highlight, but was easily overshadowed by the rap music playing in the back kitchen. What a poor excuse for a dining experience. read more

So came here for my mom and stepdad anniversary the staff was very nice and helpful and kept everything up to code with Covid. The food was good but very bland could use salt and pepper and spice and bigger sizes in food it's very small for what you pay for. The bill ended up being $100-$200s for 4 grown ups and 2 kids and everyone pretty much got the cheapest thing on the menu but the salad and the dressing that came with it was killer I could have ate that all night over what I ordered any day. But the restaurant was pretty and clean and they only have 1 girls bathroom and 1 boys bathroom so there's always a line read more

Wow, not even sure where to start on this one. Came to take my kids out who were initially excited about the themed restaurant and ambiance. It took us 30 minutes to get our orders in from the time we sat down and another 1.5 hours to serve complicated dishes like grilled cheese sandwiches, fruit cups salads, green goddess salads and chicken skewers. The kitchen was atrociously understaffed and for a $200 meal I left completely underwhelmed at both the food quality given the steep price and the unreasonable wait times. My kids spent the whole ride back begging us to never go there again. The wait staff worked very hard and I felt sympathetic to them as almost every table was upset about the 1+ hour wait for dishes. It would be more honest to tell guests BEFORE seating that food will take 1.5 hours to be served after seating so they are not be trapped by this "Experience." One extra star because the waitress felt bad and brought us appetizers as my kids were losing their minds sitting there. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere if you are looking to take out your family. read more

We were so disappointed to spend $230+ on dinner for the four of us tonight. We went here to celebrate our daughters 30th birthday, and sadly all of our meals arrived cold. We ordered the steak and lobster combo, two of the Chicken cordon blue specials, steak and potatoes and a grilled cheese from the kids menu. When we asked them if they could warm up our meals, they took them and later brought them back claiming to put them in the oven, but they were just as cold as when they first arrived. We've been here once before being locals and it was good, so I'm not sure what happened tonight. The waitress was very helpful and understanding and she offered to comp any desserts. That was a nice gesture but I feel if we're paying good money for steak and lobster that's cold, that's an issue.... What's upsetting is that we had reservations at a nice restaurant in Folsom for our daughters 30th birthday. We asked them to cancel the reservation so they could meet us in Placerville at this place. read more

For our first wedding anniversary, we decided to just go for it and try the 4-course menu. The menu had a great variety of options without feeling overwhelming, and I knew exactly what I wanted. The food came out pretty quickly and was very good, and the pricing felt reasonable for the experience. The restaurant has a dark but modern design. The music was very low in volume, almost a bit awkward. I could barely hear it, so maybe turning it up slightly would improve the ambiance. The service was a 10/10 very attentive, perfectly timed, and polite. When our original server went on lunch, another server took over and was just as sweet and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. She even helped customize my chocolate fondue order. I prefer dark chocolate with peanut butter, so she swapped out the milk chocolate for dark chocolate, which I really appreciated. Our original server gave us strawberry cover chocolate to help celebrate our first year anniversary which was very sweet. Will definitely come back for happy hour one day!

The…read morefondue style makes the experience interactive and fun, and it naturally works well for groups, celebrations, or a longer relaxed dinner where the focus is as much on the experience as the food. That said, average is still average. The food is fine and does what it's supposed to do, but for the price point it feels on the expensive side for what you're getting. You're really paying for the concept and the time spent at the table more than standout flavors or value. Table service has consistently been good and attentive, which is appreciated and probably the strongest part of the experience. Unfortunately, the front of the restaurant has not lived up to that same standard. Check in and initial interactions have felt less polished and not on par with the service once seated. Overall, it's a solid option for a group night out where the fondue experience is the main draw. For me, it lands squarely in the average category and isn't a place I'd go out of my way to visit given the cost.

We dined here for our first time yesterday, and I can't believe it took us this long to finally try it out. We had reservations for 7:30pm and arrived a bit early. We were offered to have drinks at the bar which we happily obliged. We don't recall the name of the lady who made our drinks, but she was great and clearly is top notch at her craft. My wife got the White Lotus and I had the Thai NAgarita (adult non alcoholic). My wife absolutely LOVED her drink and I also did. We were seated shortly after getting our drinks and seamlessly moved us to our table. Our server was great, again drawing a blank on her name. We ended up getting the Soup de Saison which was a creamy potato soup, sorry for my lack of ability to explain it correctly. It was absolutely phenomenal. Being able to take a soup as simple as potato and make it have the flavor it did blew our minds. We also got the Fava Bean Dip which comes with two pita bread. This dish was fantastic. We would order both again and again, but will have to try other Starters next time because we know everything will be amazing. For our entrees my wife ordered the English Pea Vareniki and I the Pan Roasted Alaskan Halibut. We both were extremely happy with our dishes. I tried the Vareniki and it was delicious. Again, we would both order these over and over. Mind blown. For dessert we got the Tarte Au Citron and also the special which was a Strawberry Pavlova. The Tarte was absolutely delicious and would get it again and again. The Strawberry Pavlova was hands down the best dessert dish we have ever had in our lives. We do love strawberries so that helps, but everything about it was out of this world. If it is available when we go, we will order it every time. Overall an amazing experience and loved the ambiance and old building feel. Definitely an Auburn vibe which we love. I have seen a lot of complaints about the noise, but once again, those are people I don't care to be around. It is sort of a smaller restaurant with people having a good time, so if you are people who are snotty and complain about some noise and others talking and laughing enjoying themselves, don't come here.

When we first stepped through the door, the aromas hit me with a punch in the best kind of way, if there is such a thing. The restaurant has limited space and was full when we arrived, so it was a bit loud and tight, but I have to admit, even though we were extremely close to our restaurants mates, it felt like we were in our own intimate bubble. Our server, Eric, was so kind and wasn't shy about sharing his favorites. We started with an asparagus salad with puréed black garlic and frisée that was flavorful and unique. It is so refreshing to see more than just roasted or steamed asparagus on a menu. For our mains, Rob ordered the Crispy "Iron" Half Chicken, and I ordered the Yukon Gold Potato Vareniki. Typically, we don't order food that I make well at home such as chicken and salmon, however, with Eric's recommendation, Rob landed on the chicken. It was the perfect crisp on the outside without being fried, and the perfect moist on the inside. It was served on a piece of grilled toast with garlic puree that was unexpectedly good. The Yukon Gold Potato Vareniki, are tiny pillows of potato filled deliciousness surrounded by a small pool of earthy brown sauce with chestnut mushrooms and cipollini onions. This dish feels like home that I can eat over and over again. We ended our evening with an almond cake with a citrus sherbet and sliced almonds. I loved the chew of the crispy outside and soft inside. Mixed with the sliced almonds and sherbet, it was as pretty perfect as a dessert can be. While the space is a little tight, the vibe is unexpected and delightful. I cannot wait to go back and try more dishes. This will be a regular on our rotation.

UPDATE: The owner of this establishment needs to get a grip. 1.Was not at your establishment with a family and never spoke with you once. 2.Your server literally told us that the chef THREW your last BBQ Chicken pie at her. THREW IT AT HER. Maybe you should check on your staff instead of doing a piss poor job of trying to defend bad reviews. 3.When you make a reservation at an establishment, that establishment should be able to sit you within 15 minutes of arrival. We waited for an hour. And we were told by your host that our waitress might have been on drugs...not once but twice she said this. WTF? 4. Sorry but your chefs are idiots and are clearly lying to you. Tried ordering chicken caperese was told no. Tried ordering shepherds pie, no. Mashed potatoes which comes with the pies! Again no, We were served roasted potatoes. I then tried ordering 2 orders of roasted potatoes to go. Again, no! 5. Not to mention the fondue was AWFUL. You get a bowl of shredded cheese and have to wait 20 minutes for the assortment of fruits, bread, etc. To spend over $100 on that "fondue" was a joke. 6. Instead of sitting at the bar, drinking and shooting the shit spend time on the floor making sure your restaurant is running smoothly. Again, WILL NOT BE BACK AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Went here last night and while the atmosphere is fun, the experience was not.... Had to wait almost an hour for a table we'd made a reservation for. Hot plate at the table was on when we sat down, almost burning ourselves. Spent over $100 on fondue only to wait 20 minutes for our veggies, bread, etc. while our cheese sat on the table and burned... Tried to order multiple things off the menu (which mind you is not that large) only to be told they didn't have it. Like I'm talking EVERYTHING. Mashed potatoes? No. Grilled chicken? No. Roasted potatoes? No. Any form of pasty pie they offer? No. We were in the middle of dinner and staff started stacking chairs around us?? Cute place and our waitress was great! But definitely not worth an over $400 tab. Wouldn't go back. read more

Last week, we had a spellbinding night at Enchanted Forest Dining Experience, celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday. The restaurant's fairy tale ambiance, complete with whimsical decor and complimentary light-up flower crowns, set the stage for a truly memorable evening. Our culinary journey began with the Tapas Baguettes. For $16, we got four delectable varieties, each scoring a perfect 10/10. From smoked salmon with green goddess herb dressing to brie with apricot jam, each combination was a delightful treat. For our mains, we had a mix of the Savory Pasty Pie and Chicken Caprese. These dishes were tasty but a bit lacking in flavor, earning a solid 8/10. My Creamy Vegetable Pie was comforting, and the Chicken Pie and Chicken Caprese were well-executed, albeit needing a touch more pizzazz. A special shoutout to the mango mead - it was a sensational and exotic addition to our meal! What made the night truly special was the exceptional service. The servers went above and beyond, surprising my mother-in-law with a complimentary slice of birthday cake and a cheerful birthday song performed by the band. The service was attentive, warm, and truly made us feel celebrated. The live Irish music by Anam Cara perfectly complemented the enchanting atmosphere, adding to the uniqueness of our experience. Overall, despite the main dishes being good but not extraordinary, the magical atmosphere, superb appetizers, the delicious mango mead, and the outstanding service made our visit to Enchanted Forest Dining Experience unforgettable. We're eagerly looking forward to our next magical dining adventure here! read more

I had been hearing about this restaurant and the very unique decor for a little while now, so I decided to try it out. Both of my children are vegetarian, so it's always nice to find anything in this area with a menu selection that actually has options for them. So I decided to go check it out first before bringing my boys to eat. Upon entering, the unique decor definitely caught my attention, kind of made me think rain forest cafe meets Ireland. Immediately I was greeted by a very friendly, super cute waitress who seated me, got me a drink and offered some recommendations on what I should try. I hadn't planned on eating pizza, but based on Jennifer's ( The waitress) advice I went with the pizza, and was damn glad I did. The pizza was on point, thin crust, super crunchy, the meat on it ( i myself am not a vegetarian ) was amazing! Between the delicious food, the cool atmosphere, and the amazing service from Jennifer, I will definitely be back! read more

Our Christmas dining experience at Enchanted Forest last night was subpar. We had ordered three meals, but initially received only two, with the third dish misdirected to another table. Following a 20-minute delay, the third meal arrived; however, two of us had finished eating, leaving one person to dine alone. Despite the server's efforts to rectify the situation with a complimentary dessert, the overall quality of the food was disappointing, being both flavorless and lukewarm. Notably, this experience starkly contrasted with our previous visit the prior year, which had established high standards. Regrettably, this underwhelming encounter has discouraged us from planning a return visit. Nevertheless, our conversation with each other remained enjoyable and we enjoyed ambiance with lights headband. read more

The Enchanted Forest definitely lives up to its name! The service was fantastic throughout my visit, attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself is unlike anything I've ever experienced, a truly unique and strange (in a good way!) dining concept. For those who might be interested, be prepared for a full-on forest immersion. While the decor is undeniably creative, it might be a bit overwhelming for some. I found it a touch distracting and even slightly intimidating at first. Moving on to the food, however, that deserves a solid 3 stars. The dishes were tasty and well-prepared. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience with friendly service and good food, the Enchanted Forest is worth a try! read more

We recently visited Enchanted Forest with friends and, unfortunately, had a disappointing experience. First, we were charged a corkage fee for bringing our own wine, but our server was unable to open the bottle -- my husband ended up doing it himself. The restaurant was also extremely hot and stuffy, which made it uncomfortable to sit and enjoy the evening. Lastly, we ordered the fondue expecting a classic cheese dish, but instead received a bowl of what tasted like vegetable broth. The fondue plate was not only expensive but also very bland. Overall, it was not the experience we were hoping for. read more

We ordered the braised short ribs, what we recieved was a blandly seasoned and over cooked chuck roast for $55. We asked the server where the ribs are and she said they always remove the bone. I cook chuck roast and short ribs, they served chuck roast and try to pass it off as short ribs. For sides, we received two carrots, two Brussel sprouts and a scoop of lumpy mashed potatoes . It was a total rip off. I dont recommend this place and will never return. Atmosphere is cool, service is average, food is terrible, at least what I ordered. Thoroughly disappointed with this dining experience. read more

Love the decor!! Definitely lives up to the name. Very cozy inside with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The food is a little slow to serve but it is a dining EXPERIENCE with a great staff and the wait is totally worth it! Special shout out to servers Sabrina and Alex; they provided impeccable service. Moreover, the owner, Kaitlyn, is incredibly kind and involved with the customers; open to hearing any questions or concerns you may have about the restuarant. Very pleased overall!!!!!! read more

Wonderful options for vegan and gluten free foodies. I recommend the vegan tempeh crepe. The crepe seemed freshly made and and nice light flavor to it while the tempeh had a zesty smoky flavor. My guest had a savory mustard chicken crepe. The decor makes you feel that you are in Enchanted forest with festive Irish music playing. Very family friendly and yet offers a bar for adults who to try their many flavored beers and kombucha on tap. Great service too! read more

Avoid if you want clean food. But if you are fine with eating old microwaved mysterious wretched slop with no taste... in the dark... then you will fit in just fine. If you want unique entertainment this place offers amazing music performed by Celtic duo twins where you're transported to another festive merry period of joy. The led crowns are also fun. If they improved their food quality and selection this place would be a hit. read more

They all taste amazing though. The caveman pizza tasted amazing. Really everything was delicious. The staff is great. Definitely a place you need to visit and try. First visit and I'm very happy and would definitely make the hour and a half drive again read more

This place was charming and had friendly staff. I loved the theme of the resturant really top notch and so much fun. The drinks, specifically the mead, were INCREDIBLE. The food needs some more effort and flavor. If you want a fun place to hang and get some awesome drinks I would visit this place any time. As I said the food needs some love, if they could work on that a little bit this place would be 5 stars. read more

Braised beef was a show stopper. Melt in your mouth good. Relaxing environment. You can really tell someone put alot of effort into the design and theme. Its like Middle Earth meets Rainforest cafe. A great variety of drinks and kombucha on tap! The staff is hilarious, you can tell they love working with eachother. Gotta check this place out, perfect for a date night! read more

Thank goodness it was dark in here. I cannot imagine what this place looks like when the lights are on. And or stop blaming Yelp. I have zero vested interest. My review is completely based on the pathetic service and food I had here. Six bad reviews isn't coincidence. Perhaps the positive reviews are fake! read more
