The staff were polite and on top of everything. I had the lasagna and it was hot from beginning to end. I felt it could use more pasta, but it was rich and satisfying. My wife said her Tuscany soup was "chocked full of goodness". She felt a bowl would've been too much, so the cup was perfect. She also really enjoyed the amount of cheese and artichoke in the beignets. The artichoke was present but not overwhelming, and the cheese was creamy and delicious. The meal came with a side of warm bread, and it paired perfectly with the side of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We look forward to many more meals here. We sat outside with a nice view of a small creek. The sound of the freeway can sometimes take away from the peaceful outside ambience, but it's nothing the restaurant can control. We had a wonderful experience and definitely recommend this restaurant.

While enjoying a meal with friends, I ordered a full iced margarita, only for the bottom of the glass to suddenly detach and spill its full sticky contents all over me and side seated companions. Not only did this ruin our shoes, leave us wet and sticky but it startled all of us and completely disrupted our meal. When I brought this to the attention of the management, I was met with a dismissive attitude. They simply shrugged it off, saying, "this happens," and refused to offer any form of compensation or even an apology. They mentioned that they had witnessed similar incidents with two other glasses, suggesting that the issue might be tied to the glasses coming out hot from the dishwasher and then being placed directly on ice. Instead of addressing my concerns seriously, the staff made light of the situation, which felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. It was disappointing to see such a lack of care for customer experience. I expected better from a restaurant and found it rather disturbing that even the waitress was afraid to bring it up to the owner telling us that he was extremely scary and would likely fire her for this if he was disrupted from making pizzas in the back. Furthermore, a few of my friends at the table also heard that the owner is really unprofessional and rude. It's unlikely any of us are I'll tell you in a will return, and I would advise others to exercise caution when ordering drinks here. A simple acknowledgment and willingness to rectify the situation could have made a significant difference in our experience. It's a shame that a fun night out was overshadowed by such poor management. Go elsewhere.

So if you like those Raiders of the Lost Ark vibes, then you would like sitting next to the mine for sure. It's roped off but you can hear the water dripping and it is naturally cool. The structure was originally built as a hotel in 1853 and has been well preserved. I ordered their Smith Flat House salad ($10) and the Jambalaya Risotto ($34) which consisted of Cajun-marinated prawns, lobster meat, Andouille sausage, grilled sweet corn with saffron chicken risotto. Definitely had a bit of a kick to it, the risotto was done well. My pet peeve is mushy risotto, it needs to have a slight bite to it which this one had thankfully. Love the fact that this place serves up local wines -- I couldn't recall the wine I had and they do not have their wine menu on their website. If you have the opportunity to visit, I'd recommend a glass of red from Starfield (winery up the road).

We were not in a hurry and were told around 6 minutes for our order (which seemed way too quick). It took about 20 minutes which, again, was absolutely fine because we were in no rush. But a better expectation should be set. Also, they were out of the ingredients for at least 3 of the pies and the dough on the Ireland was a bit undercooked on the edge. The interior is very small with one table (3 seats) and a counter (2 seats). The business is attached to and run by the same people who own the Enchanted Forest. The decorations are fake ivy leaves and fake bark with moss on the walls and ceilings. Unfortunately, these things are difficult to keep clean and, therefore, carry a hefty amount of dust in the Enchanted Forest side where the restroom is located. Also, the fan in the Pastry shop looks like it has not been cleaned in 10 years. The employee handled dirty plates with the same gloved hand that he then used to continue making our food. Not sure I would return.

After seeing countless videos on social media, I was excited to finally visit this unique and whimsical-looking restaurant for Mother's Day lunch. Unfortunately, the experience got off to a disappointing start. When making the reservation, I was never informed that the restaurant would only be offering a limited Mother's Day menu. By the time we were seated and learned there were only five menu options available, with no access to the regular brunch menu, it was too late to make alternative plans. Not wanting to spend the holiday scrambling for another restaurant, we decided to stay and make the best of it. For the price, the food was underwhelming. Most of the dishes were mediocre, and my filet was noticeably overcooked. I had specifically been looking forward to trying items from their brunch menu, so finding out it wasn't available was disappointing. The cocktails were visually appealing but overly sweet and lacked balance. Another disappointment was the seating. Despite making reservations in advance, we were not seated in one of the restaurant's signature enchanted booths. To be fair, there are only three of these themed booths in the entire restaurant. The rest of the dining room felt somewhat dated and cluttered with dusty artificial plants. The overall atmosphere didn't quite match the magical experience portrayed online and on social media. The staff did make an effort to celebrate Mother's Day by giving moms elf ears and light-up tiaras, which was a fun touch and added to the theme. In the end, I left feeling disappointed. The concept and marketing create high expectations, but the food, seating experience, and overall value didn't quite live up to the hype. While the restaurant certainly offers a unique theme, my experience fell short of what I was expecting, and I'm not sure I would be motivated to return.

I walked in about 20 minutes before closing, which most places would not be thrilled about, and they welcomed me without hesitation. No attitude, no rushing, just genuine hospitality. While I was waiting for my pizza, someone, possibly the owner, came over and told me they had accidentally dropped my pizza in the oven and it did not look great. He said there was nothing wrong with it, but because of how it looked, they were going to give it to me for free on top of the new pizza they were making. That alone says everything about their standards and integrity. It did not stop there. I had also grabbed the last piece of tiramisu, and before I left, he handed me a coupon for a free tiramisu next time. That is not normal service. That is above and beyond.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pizza Plus in Placerville, CA, and I must say it was an absolute delight for my taste buds and my sense of community. This hidden gem has quickly become my go-to spot for a pizza experience that goes beyond the ordinary. Let's start with the crust - thick, golden, and utterly delicious! Pizza Plus has mastered the art of creating the perfect crust, providing a satisfying crunch on the outside while maintaining a soft and chewy interior. It's the kind of crust that makes each bite a heavenly experience. The white sauce deserves its own applause. Creamy, flavorful, and with just the right hint of garlic, it adds a unique touch to every pizza. It's evident that the chefs at Pizza Plus take pride in their craft, ensuring that each ingredient complements the others perfectly. One aspect that sets Pizza Plus apart is its commitment to the local community. The prices are not only reasonable but contribute to a greater cause. This establishment actively supports and raises donations for various local community events, making every purchase feel like a small act of kindness towards the place we call home. During my visit, I indulged in the Veggie Pizza, and it was a true celebration of freshness. Every topping, from the crisp bell peppers to the succulent mushrooms, tasted as if they were picked straight from the garden. It's evident that Pizza Plus values quality ingredients and takes the extra step to ensure that each pizza is a masterpiece. Beyond the delectable food and community support, the friendly and welcoming atmosphere makes Pizza Plus a true local treasure. The staff radiates warmth, creating an environment that encourages patrons to feel like part of the Pizza Plus family. In conclusion, if you're looking for a pizza experience that goes beyond the ordinary, Pizza Plus in Placerville is the place to be. Whether you're a fan of the thick crust, the mouthwatering white sauce, or the commitment to community involvement, Pizza Plus has something for everyone. I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing local small business - come and support them for a slice of heaven and a taste of community! read more

This place can actually be really awesome. The reason I give it a 3 star though is because so far I've only ordered twice from here and the first time the pizza was all soggy but I figured it was all the fresh tomatoes so I thought I'd just order a different pizza the next time. Second time ordering from this place the two men working were extremely nice and the pizza would have been so AWESOME if it wasn't for the fact it seems like they baked everything on extremely dirty pans.... the bottom tasted like old burnt dirty pizza. And same with the bread sticks. Would love this place if I didn't have to worry if they were cleaning probably or not.... :/ read more

They have a great selection of beer, I was impressed with the vast selection for a pizzeria. As far as the food - First off their WINGS were amazing (bone-in, garlic flavor), they had a crispy exterior with juicy interior and delicious sauce. I would go back just for the wings. The cheesy bread was OK, just a little bland, seemed like just cheese & bread, could have used some herbs, garlic butter, something. The pizza was good but wasn't extraordinary. We had the Mediterranean with Pesto sauce; Waikiki; El Dorado; and Cheese. Our favorite was the Waikiki which was basically Hawaiian with the BBQ sauce and garlic sauce, the garlic base sauce was amazing and super flavorful, plus the bacon was a nice touch. The others were just a little bland despite having great toppings like a few meats, bacon, etc., and the pesto sauce was totally lacking on the Mediterranean, could barely taste it; in sum they were just kinda bland and needed more flavor or more sauce. Next time I'll ask about making the pizza more flavorful or maybe adding extra sauce. I'd go back just for the wings, they were that good. Also for the the Waikiki, beer selection, and the customer service. Again appreciate you guys taking care of my family and son after his injury.
