The Place Placerville

They automatically add a 5% charge for back-of-house staff, and I'm not impressed. If your kitchen staff aren't being compensated fairly, it's your responsibility as the owners to address that issue, not ours as customers. If you feel they deserve higher pay, then include it in the menu prices and ensure it goes to them directly. It's disappointing to surprise diners with a non-negotiable charge at the end of an otherwise enjoyable meal. As for whether I would recommend this place to friends, I’m conflicted. I might, but I'd definitely caution them about the questionable management practices.

We'll definitely return. The food and service were excellent. It was a bit noisy, but not too much to handle.

What a fantastic discovery! The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. I would definitely return time and again!

The bar next door to the place has super load music . Which causes people to talk louder . Which in turn you can’t hear the person across the table from you .

Salad was good, pasta dinners were average. They seated us with one menu and said they were short but the restaurant was not full, I was never brought a menu. Our waitress could not find a knife for our dinner so she brought out one giant chefs knife. It gets VERY loud inside, even before live music. Overall I thought it was average, which is disappointing considering everything I have heard.
