My husband seemed to like the place but I don't think I'll come back anytime soon. We were happy they took us for Xmas eve afternoon but I was thrown off by the 'masks' the wait staff was wearing. It was like a face guard but for the mouth, clear and half open at the top. I don't mind, whatever, but if anyone sneezes that doesn't protect anything against anybody. It's as useful as an open 'mask.' Also I didn't know there was an alternative menu. It wasn't listed on the website and there were also no printed menu for it when we got there. It was good but I get also concerned whenever someone serves me without gloves during these times. I'm not giving this 1 star bc I think this is a family business and they are very nice. I do hope they flourish with some additional safety precautions bc it really is a cute place. read more

This is my happy place! The live music on sunday is so much fun and uplifting! Mia is my favorite waitress! I absolutely love her! She is fast, friendly and has a beautiful smile! My daughter believes in fairies because of them! read more

Food was not good at all. Service was not good either, just surprised. Thought this would be a great place. Steak was chewy. Server didn't seem to care at all too worried about the bigger party, was waiting for a refill on my water for 20 mins. So pricey and bad food bad service. read more

My friend Steve and I went to the Enchanted Forest last night and it was magical. The food is absolutely wonderful. We split the baked Brie which came with an assortment of crackers jams and sauces. I had the filet which was perfectly cooked and the mashed potatoes were phenomenal. Steve had the salmon and I tried a bite it was perfect and melted in my mouth. The service was even better than the food the bartender Dylan was fantastic and our server Julianna was outstanding she was incredibly friendly and on top of it. We always had a full glass of water and she was very attentive to our every need. We will be back again to try more or their outstanding food and hopefully see Julianna again! read more

Very difficult to eat here. The fondue for two was not sufficient and misleading as it stated 4 sauces but in reality was condiments and 1 watery broth. Also we waited for over 20min for our broth to heat to cook our meats. Electricity was not working which we could understand but service was not accommodating or professional. They did not offer anything while we waited for our meal to heat or comp any of our food until we asked. They also had many things not available on the menu and waitress was not knowledgeable about what was available or wine list. Waitress was forgetful and did not bring us skewers until we asked. Food was not tasteful or worth the wait. read more

Amazing, magical place. Delicious mushroom dish. Live music (certain eves). It has it all.

So disappointed....My wife had a 72 year old birthday and she wanted so badly to order something from Enchanted Forest take out ...Wanted to support this restaurant in these times...I called 3 times to order on line...no response..very poor customer service..no call back. I tried to call again days later to complain and the message said it was full. Wow! what customer service for a new restaurant..My wife and I are thru with this restaurant...very sad....Get a clue read more

It was a cool experience as far as ambiance. We came for an early dinner. There was a lot of weird running in and out of the kitchen by what I would assume to be staff and their friends? Several inappropriate comments made between staff who smacked each other on the ass frequently, and we were hounded to pay our tab by our server who was about to leave for the day for almost 30 minutes. We weren't even done eating/ordering but she ran around to all of her tables to pay their tab and kept trying to clear plates we were clearly still eating off of. It was uncomfortable. Probably a cool experience for kids, but the food is pricey for taking kids. Scallops were really gritty, mashed potatoes were really cold in the middle. Not my favorite. We were told that the fondue comes "preheated" and we didn't need a warmer for it, there wasn't a warmer on the table. But the chocolate got thick quickly and we noticed on the way out that other tables had a warmer. read more

I had the most fun with my husband last night! I made reservations at the Enchanted Forrest in Placerville because I learned they had fondue there. When we got there, it was very themed. Kind of reminded me of the Rainforest cafe. We walked in and a table of four dudes wearing lighted fairy garlands on their heads is the first thing I see. Then the hostess with purple hair. I am thinking, oh great, my husband should love this place. I look back to see his unamused face. The evening unfolds with a sweet jovial waiter who was over doing it a bit. I am thinking, well this is one for the books. At one point I tell my husband to ask his inner fairy what he wanted to eat... The look on his face was pricelessas he tried not to laugh. Then a group of four morbidly obese people come in and start griping at the staff because they aren't seated fast enough and demanding appetizers. Oh- if there is one thing that will piss my hubs off more, it's bitching at the wait staff. He grew up in the restaurant business. Now we are amused. The first course of fondue is done and it was amazing. Now a neurotic woman is sitting next to us being overly demanding to the wait staff. She actually got up and helped herself to plates. Now I am about to wing a piece of chicken at her head. My hubs overheard the waiter talking about the giants. Funny how sports teams can bring people together. The main course had filet minion, shrimp, chicken and meat balls. It was out of this world good! We stuffed the desert tray down as it was so good as well. The overall experience was a lot of fun. Can't wait to go back! My husband left a 25$ tip which says a lot. read more

I made reservations for my wife's birthday about a month ago. Kaitlyn called me three days before the event and feared that the power would go out to a due to a forecast heat wave. It would've been nice if I was given a choice in this matter but my reservation was canceled it was for a party of 12. We will now be celebrating my wife's birthday at the butter cup pantry, they don't seem to have any problem with a potential power outage. Thanks for nothing disenchanted forest I will not go to your restaurant ever again. Prices are very high food is OK. Update:do you smell that? Kaitlyn is of course is always right as you can see by her responses below. Some people don't know when to remain silent. read more

Came here for a bit of a late lunch yesterday. We were drawn in my the cute decor and the fact that they had mead. We were seated outside right away, and they were up front about the fact that we couldn't order fondue at our table. Too bad, but totally fine. We had been visiting Apple Hill so were looking for something tasty and savory. I got the beet caprese and a glass of dragon fruit mead, my friend got the Pork and Pear pizza with goat cheese subbed for the blue cheese. We were seated just after another party of two, and ordered just after them. However, our food took more than 30 minutes longer than theirs -- we literally waited 50 minutes for our food. No apology, no explanation. When the food did come out, my "salad" was three thin slices of beet, three thin slices of mozzarella, a few pieces of fennel, and balsamic drizzle. My friend's pizza was missing the figs that were listed as being a party of it on the menu. At that point, were were both starving so scarfed the food down because we didn't want to wait longer. My guess is that they made my friend's pizza incorrectly the first time, accounting for the delay. However, in that case, we really should have been given an explanation or apology, offered something to eat while we waited, or had some portion comped. It just doesn't sit right that I essentially paid $2 each for some thin slices of beet and mozzarella and then waited an hour to eat them. read more

Fun, friendly, beautiful environment. Loved the food and specialty items such as non-alcoholic beverages for people like us in recovery. The filet minon melted in your mouth. I appreciated all the gluten free options. I'm a huge fan of ambiance and all the lights in an indoor forest were relaxing and romantic. Our server Tyler was super fun and energetic. Definitely will return with friends. read more

Cold day, excellent freshly cooked pot pie and service. We'll be back for sure and recommend to our friends.

My husband and I ordered the filet mignon and it was dry and they don't serve milk for children. Ambiance was alright, just not what I imagined when I read their website. That morning we added one more person ( that made a total of 5 ). They asked if we could push our reservation back 30 minutes for a bigger booth ( holds 8 people). We said sure than we get there all the booths are the same and the hold 4 people very comfortably. But 5 adults made it a little tight. One person in our group had stuff mushrooms and they liked it another person had chicken and it was fine the other person had fish and it was alright but felt they have had better. I won't go back and it just depends on each individual. Just very disappointed but my husband and I were VERY clear about wanting a little blood and the waitress kept saying,"well done" and we said, no. Glad we tried it but again for us we will not go back not even if someone treats us. $300.00 bill with tip. Not worth it! Yes we tip 20% because the rest of our party kind of liked their food. read more

The Enchanted Forest was fantastic. I booked a reservation for lunch this past Saturday for my boyfriend's birthday as a surprise. This place came as a suggestion from a friend. My BF loves LOTR and is from England, so this place had a special feel that I knew he would love. I even picked out an outfit for him of solid neutral colors in linen, as well as myself. I had originally booked a table in the middle of the restaurant as we had 3 people for lunch and this was the option on OpenTable. When we got there, we asked if we could switch to a booth. Originally they said no because they had reservations which was of course totally fine. But, the host ended up coming to us a few minutes later saying a reservation had cancelled, and that we could move into a booth. This was very nice that he did this for us. Our server was fantastic. I'm sad I didn't get her name. My boyfriend had never had mead before, so she let him taste 2 different kinds. He ended up going with the cranberry (I believe) which was delicious. For food I ordered the Chicken Caprese which was very good, BF ordered the Braised Beef Short Ribs which was absolutely delicious and a very good portion (I would order this if I came back) and mother in law ordered the Hobbit Salad with a few modifications which she enjoyed. At the end we ordered the key lime blackberry pie which was absolutely delicious, made in house! The atmosphere was a 10/10. It felt magical being in the restaurant and even though it was 1:00pm, the ambience made it feel at night. They also give you these little lighted flower crowns when you sit down that you can wear and take home. Had such a great time here! read more

My family and I went to the Enchanted Forest. It was fun. The service was excellent and the ambiance with live music was great fun. We had the full service fondue and it was just ok. Our "river lights" in our table didn't work so that was disappointing. Very hard to see the menus, we used our phones to read. In the website pictures they show very fancy fairies for the waitresses. You don't get that. They just had antlers and lights on their head. However they did provide fun light wreaths for us to wear and take home. It was a fun evening. However the price will probably prevent us from going back. read more

I'm so happy to say this restaurant has been such a great and fun experience each time with personal service and great entertainment!! The owner is so sweet and was able to accommodate us with great service and our waitress Buffy was so friendly and helpful as well. She humored us with calling soda "pop" and the food was so good! We had chocolate fondue for our group and flights of mead with beer and a live Irish band. Made even better with the nature views and fun decor. The tavern vibe and lanterns are so cozy and I brought some friends who got "crowned" with fun fairy lights. This place is a vibe, the staff is amazing and the musicians were great. Five stars and would recommend for any celebratory festivities! The bartender is also awesome, Sabrina, Ty, and more who I cannot name. read more

I wanted to like this place so badly but unfortunately we didn't have the best experience. I found this place while browsing my newsfeed one day on Facebook. I decided to make reservations for my daughters 3rd birthday since I thought she would love the magical experience that this place seemed to have. I made reservations for a party of 4 for 5pm on a Saturday night. I asked to be seated inside since it looked like so much fun with the magical decor, sparkling lights, and tables that looked like they had rivers flowing down the middle. When we arrived I was told that the only option for us was to eat outside as they were unable to accommodate us inside. We drove an hour from Sacramento just to go here so going somewhere else wasn't exactly an option, especially when you have two hungry children in tow. Since we had no other option we sat outside. I was very disappointed that we would not get to experience eating inside which is the whole reason I made reservations to eat here. It was very loud from the street traffic and there were many flies flying around our food so that really dampened the experience. Our saving grace for dinner was our wonderful server. She was very kind and answered all of our questions regarding the menu. She was prompt and quickly brought out each course when we were ready for the next. The food was pretty good. We got the four course fondue meal and it was a fun experience. There is a two person minimum but our service told us there was a lot of food. We asked if our daughters could share the meal with us and she said that would be no problem. There was plenty of food to go around with the exception of the main course. I'm sure we could have ordered more protein if we wanted to. I did ask for extra chocolate for dessert since kids love chocolate! They do not skimp of the dippers for the chocolate fondue. There were so many choices for us to choose from to dip into the chocolate. That was great and the girls loved every bite of that dessert. I really wish this could have been the magical experience I wanted for my three year olds birthday but it wasn't. The food was good but I don't think it's worth the hour drive from Sacramento. read more

Don't let the enchanting atmosphere and upscale menu prices fool you.Every aspect of our Enchanting Forest experience left so much to be desired. Once we were finally sat at our table, the sweating started before we could make our drink order. -It felt like we were dining in an UN-chanted rainforest.It was so dark in our booth, we needed to use our flashlights on our phones to see the menu. Our server came to take our drink orders, but when the drinks finally arrived, we realized one of our sodas was incorrect. We waited quite a while for our server to come back so we could get the incorrect soda changed. My niece had received Dr. Pepper instead of Root beer. The server was surprised and confused. She stated she used the right fountain dispenser, but took forever to just correct the soda. As well, my son's Ice tea tasted like it was straight out of an Arizona can. Definitely not your typical in-house brewed ice tea. My mom asked the server questions about the fondue, and we decided we would order fondue for 4 people, because we all were anxious to try it. We asked our server if we could substitute some of the veggies for more bread instead, since we weren't a fan of veggies for fondue.The kids ordered a large cheese pizza, personal pizzas for the guys, salads for my sister and I, and my mom ordered the "Forest and Sea."Fondue?  FonDON'T. This by far, was the biggest let down.The server brought out the bowl and placed it on the warmer. It wasn't melted, but maybe thats just the way it comes out? We stirred the fondue as our server instructed, and waited for it to melt. The pot was only about 1/4 full; for 4 people. The fondue is charged by each person, so paying $52 just for the fondue, I expected much more. The veggies looked like uncooked stir-fry, and the bread was one slice of bread, cut six ways, at best. When asked if we could have more bread, a tiny bowl was brought with literally 5 pieces. The cheese and liquid in the pot never did mix with each other, so basically it looked like a glob of melted cheese sitting in a mystery liquid. I asked the server if the fondue cheese was suppose to be a watery consistency. She then tried stirring it, and said that we had the warmer turned up too high.  We didn't know that we were supposed to adjust the warming plate temperature, as well as stir and melt our own cheese.  Our server didn't give any instructions, except to stir it. She was the one who set up the hot plate and put the bowl on it!  Our server had saw that our cheese had burned on the bottom, but never offered a replacement. By this time, I would have said no anyways. Whatever was in the fondue, it wasn't good. My son asked me if it had spoiled. Not one person thought it tasted right. It smelled so much like beer, it was difficult to eat. Well, we still had our other food coming that we could eat right? Wrong! Just as disappointing. What 7 and 8 year-old kids won't eat a cheese pizza? It's pizza! MY sister and I tried it, and it tasted exactly like what you would get at an amusement park concession stand. Frozen and cheap. The personal pizzas were exactly the same, except they add thetoppings. Definitely not worth $14 for the personal pizzas and $19 for the cheese pizza. I have had *frozen* microwave pizzas, that have tasted better. My moms filet was ordered medium rare, and it was cooked well done. At this point, I wasn't surprised. After we declined ordering desserts, we decided to leave and get dessert some where else. Our server brought our check, and I couldn't believe it was nearly $200. While waiting for the server to pick up our card, she got pre-occupied with petting a random dog that was laying in the middle of the walkway.  Usually service-dogs have something identifying them as a service animal.  I would really like to think that the dog half-asleep laying on the floor was a service dog, but...I'm guessing not. Thank god we were finished eating, because she went right back to serving, without washing her hands. Matter of fact, in the whole restaurant only the bartender had a face covering. Technically speaking not a mask, but at least his nose and mouth was covered. Too bad we didn't order anything from the bar.  It may have been incorrect, or had a dog hair in it, but at least we'd know it was prepared following state health guidelines.Not one server, hostess, or kitchen staff, which we could see from our table, was wearing masks, or any kind of face covering. None of the staff used gloves. There were dividers between the bar customers, but it seemed like all the tables were full in the restaurant.TO THE OWNERS: IF YOU LOOKED AT MY REVIEWS YOU WOULD SEE IVE GIVEN MANY POSITIVE REVIEWS. YOU WEREN'T THERE TO SEE HOW MUCH FONDUE WE WERE SERVED!THE SERVER SAID IT WAS BURNT SINCE IT WAS TOO HOT. I have worked in the restaurant business for over 12 years. I expect more for $200. IM GLAD THE SERVERS ARE NOW WEARING MASKS, SINCE THURSDAY read more

Great find! Fun ambiance, friendly staff and great food. Fondue could be a little more generous as we ran out of cheese halfway through the bread and veggies. However great little restaurant and we'll definitely plan to come back. read more

Cute and "enchanting" (pardon the pun) place to eat and drink. With the lavish forest themed decor, you couldn't really see the COVID 19 barriers throughout the restaurant but they were there. All staff wore face mask while keeping in costume &theme of the restaurant. I highly recommend the mead!!!!!! If you're a first timer like myself , I suggest the sampler. You get 5, 5oz samples and those alone are enough. We and the filet mignon...cooked tonprefcetion and for dessert (separate menu) the jack daniels pecan pie....to die for!. Overall it was a really enjoyable experience, especially in times of COVID, if you're in the placerville area, seek out the Enchanted Forest. read more

Oof. I was excited for fondue... Don't order the fondue. $40 per person for a "4 course experience"... First course a decent but tiny salad. Second course cold shredded cheese, waiter comes over after 5 mins and sloshes some wine in and drops off what looks like a Costco veggie tray. Celery with cheese? Whatever, it's cheese, 20 minutes later it's melted enough to be edible, fine. Third course is basically hot pot, except the broth is like unsalted tomato water. The lack of salt or any flavor other than tomato made the meat taste bad. I ate the shrimp and baby carrots and waited for dessert to save me. Which it basically did, it's hard to mess up melted chocolate. Decent service but omg get something else. read more

Hidden Gem! The food is incredible! It's like home cooked gourmet! It's healthy, incredibly balanced flavors and not over cooked in too much oil or butter like so many restaurants. Here, you leave feeling great and longing to come back. I was visiting the area for a long weekend and came for dinner twice because it was so good. I had the chicken caprese and the portobello mushroom. Both were amazing! Not only is the food great but the service was wonderful, and the unique ambiance and great music super fun!

I am 13 years old and writing my first review ever. I'm doing this because the owner (Kaitlyn k) lies and is an online bully. She wrote in a comment that I cried in embarrassment because of my mom. That's not true. I was crying because I picked this restaurant and it was the worst and I felt like I let my mom down on her birthday. They were so mean and rude to her and now bullying her on Yelp after she wrote an honest review. I feel like Kaitlyn k should apologize to my mom and stop being a bully. She reminds me of this girl I know in school who is mean but the owner is much older. Kaitlyn k also lied about the lobster. I ordered the lobster but she said my mom did. Lobster is my favorite. What's wrong with that? Kaitlyn K also lied about my dad making faces. He wasn't . He just wanted to leave. My mom is the best mom in the world and I wanted a perfect dinner for her birthday. Kaitlyn K you are not nice. Please stop being mean and telling lies. Thank you read more

My teenage daughter saved her money for 3 months to take me to this place for my birthday. We had a party of 5 and seated at a small table meant for 4. It was extremely hot in there. No ventilation or fans. The decor was dirty and hangs directly over your table. Making it a sauna once you turn the fondue burner on. Yes, the burner...at a tiny table with children and boiling hot water in a bowl. It's not a children's place we learned quick. No kids menu...not even an appropriate drink for our kids to order. They got water. When you walk in, it seems like an over decorated kids pizza place with a host in a wood fairy type halloween costume. When they put the flower ring on my head, I felt awkward. Did you know they take those back and reuse them for the next customer?! Ew! The short blonde waitress was rude and even when we asked for help with ordering, was not helpful. We asked for lobster and scallops...they didnt have any. Ok...can we get a rum n coke...its not an open bar. Ok...can we get some WATER. Water...no ice. Ohmigod...so ..the lady (I'm assuming the owner) dressed in costume thinks she comes to help by reading the menu to us. Look lady...I can read...and did read the menu. Your waitress basically told us you don't serve anything on your own menu. After the raw meat and shrimp were basically thrown at us (and a hot boiling bowl of water on the burner) I was ready to leave. I tried staying patient. Sweat dripping off all of my family members...my glass of wine (that was recommended by waitress) was served to me with her fingers on the top of the glass were my lips would go. Omg...yuck. My entire family hollered for the check. We couldn't get out fast enough. 5 minutes after leaving, we ran into a family with 2 kids who told us their experience. Pretty much identical to our own. My teenage daughter, my sweet baby...she knew I'd been looking forward to this restaurant since opening. She was in tears thinking it was her fault my birthday dinner sucked. We ended up going to Buttercup Pantry and our faith in Placerville dining was rejuvenated. In fact, we talked to a young couple who was just at Enchanted Forest and they explained how they had a beer and left and how disappointing it was. I sincerely hope Enchanted Forest can remedy their issues. Make it kid friendly and PLEASE invest in some circulation. End on a good note...the music was good. Being of thick Irish heritage, I did enjoy that part. Kaitlyn K...your response to the review shows how professional you are. Not that I have to explain...but my daughter was the one who wanted the lobster. And we are not a poor family. So what does it matter what we order? And my family WAS embarrassed. Embarrassed that they brought me to your cave of torture. ...it was my husband who had the final straw and hollered for the check. Personal pizzas for kids? I specifically asked what's kid friendly there and your waitress did not mention the pizzas. That would've been nice... And I'm the kid having a temper tantrum? LOL! You're the one in the Halloween costume, sweetie! No "untruths" here. Thanx for the epic "fairytale fail". read more

This is a fun place with a beautiful scene, friendly staff and most important of all. Good fresh food. We had the mead sampler. It was very good!

My wife had the egg plant lasagna, my friend had the hummus wrap. We finished it off with a triple chocolate desert. This was all well executed and very tasty.
