About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

"In 1853 in Smith Flat, over the top of the Deep Blue Channel, the Three Mile House was built. Named for its distance from central Placerville on the trail to Carson City, today it is known as the Smith Flat House. It originally consisted of a general store, post office, bedroom, dining room and dance floor. Over the next century and a half the Smith Flat House served many purposes; operating as a wagon stop during the bonanza days of the Comstock mines, as well as a hotel and restaurant, run by the Fossati family, for decades. The Smith Flat House has long been a part of the history of El Dorado County, changing with the times, always enduring and providing a wonderful gathering space for the people. Today, we strive to continue this tradition as an inviting destination for excellent food, events and activities that nourish our community and those who visit our region."

Our group of 6 enjoyed outdoor dining and various entrees; hamburger, pasta, salads, soup and pasta with mussels. All were delicious. Great atmosphere and great music that still allowed conversation.

We had a lovely Easter Brunch yesterday. It couldn't have been more perfect. The buffet was filled with endless choices starting with fresh fruit and salads, sausage and bacon, fancy potatoes, all kinds of eggs made to order, prime rib and yummy desserts. Beverage selection of different juices, coffee, cocktails and champagne with live music entertainment. Serving staff was friendly and accommodating to our every need. We know a lot of work went into making it such a wonderful event for so many families. The Smith Flat House is the best!!

We had a small celebration dinner in honor of our daughter getting engaged, the service and food was great. Our server was familiar with the menu, took note of one food allergy and was very attentive(without being intrusive).

Didn’t realize we had to sit outside while making our reservations. Had to ask repeatedly for bbq which was ordered with our food. Lettuce on burgers was wilted. Bread was amazing. Had to wait a really time for appetizers.

Brunch is a must! Beautiful & comfortable seating offering sun & shade. The Waffle Benedict was fabulous. The overall brunch menu had something for everyone and it’s nice that the beverage menu covered coffee to flavorful mimosas! Our server was friendly, attentive and we never felt rushed. Thank you Smith Flat House!!

The service and food are always consistent. Only wish they could add a little heat to the downstairs dining room.
