We decided to skip Yard House and that was a wise choice.(If you want better quality food just go to Back Bistro!) We had Beef short ribs,Steak blue cheese salad,Cobb salad and Truffle Mac n Cheese entrees. For dessert we had toffee sticky pudding,burlee and chocolate pot de crème. It was just amazing!Great service too !

We opted to sit outside…read morebecause it was such a nice day .. the outside seating area was cute.. we shared our appetizers .. the steak & potato and fish & rice plates .. the steak and potatoe was delicious! Steak was made well done though when we asked medium well .. the potatoes were soft and yummy. The fish & rice was great! A fried ball of flavored rice topped with a thick cut of seared tuna with some I believe unagi and spicy mayo sauce.. it went well together! I loved it! My main dish was the braised short ribs .. it was so tender you did not need to cut it with a knife! 2 thumbs up! My friend's main dish was the seasonal pasta add shrimp... I didn't try it but it looked delicious Our server was great! He was attentive and made sure to come by to refill and ask if we needed anything ever so often. Perfect place for a nice sit down and chat and enjoy some delicious food

Didn't hurt that the food was amazing! I got the Blackened Shrimp Rice Bowl and my husband got the Ahi Poke Bowl. Amazing! The drinks were also delicious! I had two Vanilla Bean Old Fashioneds and my husband had a Cold Brew Martini and a Keoke Coffee. Definitely coming back!

Whether you're celebrating with your spouse, introducing your side piece to "your favorite restaurant," or escaping the responsibilities waiting back at home, this place delivers. Perfect for the guy who suddenly "works late" every night despite having a newborn, and the woman who's somehow convinced herself that personal entertainment outranks being there for her kids. Nothing says romance quite like two people united by spectacularly bad life choices. The staff deserves an award. They somehow keep a straight face while serving appetizers to people whose alibis have more ingredients than the menu. The atmosphere is so relaxing you'll almost forget your phone is one notification away from turning dinner into a public hearing.

My wife and I popped in for dinner on a Saturday night and were pleasantly surprised to be greeted…read moreby live music! Thus cheered, we were seated quickly, even though we arrived without a reservation. Water, bread and menus came quickly. Perusing them to the background mix of contemporary mellow pop (think James Taylor and Van Morrison) and old standards, we decided on the petite prime rib for the carnivore (me) and sea scallops served over risotto for my wife. We each chose flights of wine to accompany our entrees. Despite including three wines per flight, the pours were fairly generous. Our dishes were perfectly prepared and came out more quickly than we expected, considering that the place was almost full. Our server checked back just enough and took care of any special requests promptly, even offering to exchange one of the wines (out of six!) that we didn't like for something better suited to our taste. The pace was leisurely which was fine given the good food and wine accompanied by the relaxed vibe of the live music. And the prices were quite reasonable given the quality of both the food and service. A dark-ish old school atmosphere added to its charm for us Baby Boomers, but even younger diners seemed to be enjoying themselves. As for us, we highly recommend it!

Stopped in with a colleague during a business trip to the area based entirely on the fact that it…read morewas close to my hotel, appeared to have some decent looking BBQ and burger choices on the menu, and I could smell the smokey goodness from the parking lot. But how could I know that experience (and the service!! OMG the service!!!) was going to be so outstanding, that I would come back again the next evening to eat again?? The first night it was happy hour, with a spicy jalapeño mule, buffalo cauliflower, smoked Brussel sprouts, and a couple of beers. But the service was so attentive (almost too attentive) that we felt like we had to watch for gaps so we could take a bite or a sip in between folks checking in to see if we needed more food, more refills, or just a friendly hello! The next night was burgers, and brews, and bloody Marys - and again, the most amazing thoughtful, interactive and attentive service I have ever seen! And being a business owner, I can tell you that it's not enough to have a beautiful setting on the river with great views and a decent menu. Having servers, managers, bartenders (hell even the bussers had smiles and were polite and friendly) absolutely seals the deal. I really have no reason to go back to to El Dorado Hills in the near future other than work, but because of this single restaurant experience, I can tell you I am trying to find more reasons to return!

Popped in for a quick bite and a martini. Our waitress was kind, responsive, and by GOD did she…read moremake a perfect martini for me! We also ordered the shrimp appetizer, it was absolutely delicious but quite small. The taste was 10/10, perfect spice level and the wonton crisps were perfectly crispy and fresh without being greasy at all. The lettuce portion is covered in a dressing that creates an added layer to the dish. I love the atmosphere of South Fork, it's dim, romantic, and somehow perfect for a girls (or boys) night out. They do have sports quietly playing on the tvs. There's always a little room to wiggle in at the bar. Will absolutely be back!

The four course menu was fantastic. The service was also excellent. Issac made one of the best Manhattan's I have had and made my wife a cognac old fashioned. The owner, Shelby, was also there providing excellent service. At one point we had Shelby, Issac, and the chef at our table talking about the dinner. What I liked most about the restaurant was the intiment feel and focus on excellent service. They change their menu each month and we plan to be back.

This was the second time we have dined here and the first under the newer ownership. The food was…read moreprepared very well and presented nicely. It feels to me like more of a home style atmosphere. The owner was there that night and spoke to all of us about acquiring the restaurant, the meaning behind the name, and the staff they have. The chef spoke about the menu and products they use. If I were a regular here, I'd probably get tired of the speeches, but that's just part of what this restaurant is about. Everything was tasty and the service moved along at a good pace. We were able to carry on a conversation without too much noise or interruption. Overall, it was a nice evening out.

Leading up to the event, Cristen was so helpful in guiding all the details and making sure everything went seamless the night of. She even helped personally ensure the surprise went as planned.

Our guests gave so many compliments, and could not be happier with the space, service and experience.

We stopped in here on 4th of July around 1pm. There was hardly anyone in the bar which was…read moresurprising. We sat at the bar and ordered our food and drinks. Enjoyed soccer and the bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. The two flatbreads were more like personal pizzas. Crust was flavorful and thicker than a flatbread which was fine by us. The Cali was LOADED with toppings. The Figueroa was also fantastic. The highlight was the salad. HIGHLY recommend sharing this unless you're extremely hungry. We didn't think we would eat it all, but we honestly couldn't stop. It was lightly dressed, contained a ton of toppings and was probably half a container for mixed greens which was fantastic! If you're more into heavily dressed salads you probably wanna ask for more. Either way, we had a great lunch at an unassuming place. They apparently have a Speak Easy as well which we unfortunately didn't get to experience.

Our group had poke nachos and beet salad for appetizers. Both were excellent and a must try. Our dishes were California burger, truffle burger, turkey blt sandwich and the Ruben. Everyone was happy with each entree we got. Fresh ingredients, the burgers were solid. The crème brûlée was excellent too. The nutmeg on top worked so well with it. Will definitely be trying again and can't wait to try other dishes.
