Apple Bistro

This place is extremely yummy. The potatoes are so good!! Definitely different compared to other restaurants. I can't get enough of the breakfast potatoes. The french toast is another extremely yummy item. The toast tastes handmade and is so fluffy and delicious. The only downfall is the price. The view is amazing and the food is filling and delicious.

I’ve always driven by this place but just recently decided to try it out. First thing to say.. They have the BEST COUNTRY GRAVY! I always try ordering biscuits & gravy for brunch & am often disappointed. However this place has the tastiest gravy I may have ever tasted. I tasted like it was made in bacon grease (which is a good thing, & maybe how they actually make it!) The teriyaki chicken was delicious, as well as their bacon. On top of that, There staff is really nice & helpful. They are definitely running this place with their customers in mind. Of course the VIEW is beautiful. We thought the food would be mediocre because they emphasize the view at this restaurant, but both were great. Looking forward to coming back 🥓🍳🍽

You have to bring cash because the state levied their accounts, our waitress waited til the end of our meal to let us know. There was an ATM inside. Also she wouldn't let us sit in a spot with a view because it was "in the wrong section" even though plenty of tables were available. Coffee tasted burnt. Food was ok, nothing special.

Wednesday lunchtime my Apple Lady sandwich was quite tasty, and so was the Mid-western Chili. My wife's Clam Chowder was seriously lacking clams. Her choice, I usually avoid Clam Chowder this far inland. Server was friendly and efficient. Beverages arrived promptly but wait time for food seemed a bit long with so many open tables. Dog friendly patio service appreciated. Upon arrival we waited next to the entrance door by a sign which, IIRC, indicated "wait to be seated." After a few minutes my wife went inside to announce we're waiting while I stayed outside with our 10-pound pup. I could see the patio with a chain baring entrance and behind it a waitress or two saw us standing there. Finally someone removed the chain and we were seated without having to go inside. This establishment needs to improve the on-boarding process! While doing that consider buying and using a leaf blower on the patio. I know it's Autumn but the debris on the patio floor had been there awhile.

Shut down by the county, don't have a valid health permit to sell food. Have been running the business + taking COVID lockdown funds to pay the employees, but not giving it to the employees, massive fraud. More for the owners and less for employees, also if you eat here there are literally no inspections or requirements since it's not a licensed food establishment in El Dorado County.

This place is great for breakfast with an amazing view of the mountains, looking out to nature is my favorite part. I drive from Sacramento to here for a taste of greatness. The perfect combination of food, Nature, live music on Sunday and customer service. I myself go for the Steak sandwich, which in my opinion it has being one of the best ones I tasted so far. Everything I had tasted here has been great, customer service is always great. Service must be on its best if im driving from Sacramento. Coffee wasn’t good, but not terrible. It would be nice if there was a different coffee available! Overall it’s always an great experience. Thank you. Ill be back soon again.

We were so disappointed with this place. When we walked in it took about 5 minutes for someone to greet us and seat us. After we were seated it took our server 30 minutes to come and take our drink and food order which was absolutely ridiculous considering there were only 4 other tables with people at them. The presentation of the food looked very unprofessional too. The whole experience was disappointing but the views from the patio were nice.
