Best Seasonal Restaurants in El Dorado Hills

We love Mikestone’s food and ambience. The only downside to our visit yesterday is that our waiter was surly and seemed put out with us.

It was our first time eating here and we decided to try it for our anniversary. We were seated promptly and our waitress was very attentive. I cannot remember her name but she had dark long hair and we chatted about the secret to being married for 22 years! The food was really flavorful and fresh with adequate portion size. My husband had the Porterhouse Steak which was good but undercooked. He requested medium well but it came out medium at best. He ate as much as he could. I had the Surf & Turf which was also good. We both had loaded potatoes and shared asparagus. We also shared a free tiramisu dessert for our anniversary. It was delicious! Thank you!! Our waitress was amazing but the food took a very long time to come out. It appeared that many of the tables were waiting on food for an extended time. I think we waited about 45 minutes or so after finishing our salads (which was served quickly). Overall we enjoyed our food and waitress. The kitchen response time and ambience was lacking. Would we patronize again…maybe.

Vacanza is an amazing restaurant. First, you feel like family. They are so welcoming. The service is wonderful. The food is so delicious and unusual. Unusual in a good way because everything is house made from the huge, delicious croutons to the incredible pastas. Last night I had the Pappardelle Ripienne. A tasty sauce with eggplant, garlic confit, and hazelnut butter and pesto. It was wrapped in the pappardelle. So yummy. It was my birthday and they served me a complimentary tiramisu that was also house made and so tasty. This restaurant is definitely a neighborhood gem.

We had a party of 7 and they were fast, friendly and the food was delicious! This was our first time there and would highly recommend.
