About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
"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."

    We celebrated with family in the cellar. I love the ambiance of the restaurant! The food is excellent, however my last visit there were some interesting specials and none were offered that night. Service was good and pleasant. My only real complaint was the table was one of those high tables but did not allow for your legs to fit under. So had to sit with legs to the side which was uncomfortable. Other than the table, I highly recommend it. The cellar dinning is also good for older customers who wear hearing aides and cannot handle the normal restaurant noises. 🙂

    We really enjoyed our dining expierience. The Food was great our waiter Ellerick was exceptional and very attentive to our needs and explained all of the Specials in great detail. The Jazz Trio was a very special treat adding to the ambiance and a cool vibe to the entire evening. We will be back soon.
