The Sutter Hotel had a NYE four course meal to ring in the New Year with a beautiful singer tribute to 1957, cost $79 each. I had the shrimp scampi and my husband had the chicken both dishes were superb!! We started with the shrimp cocktail each and the split pea soup and finished with the Upside down pineapple cake. It was a huge piece. I couldn't eat all of mine. The singer had a beautiful voice, she looked so elegant and it was a tribute to 1957. They gave you a card to answer trivia questions from 1957. Neither of us were born yet so we had to use google. It was a fun thing to do. I'm so glad we took the opportunity to go to the Hotel and afterward we went downstairs to the speakeasy to ring in the New year in Sutter Creek. We live in Sparks, NV so it was nice to get out of town and do something different. read more

My husband and I were celebrating one of our several anniversaries and didn't want to go to Sacramento for the evening. Hotel Sutter Restaurant has been on my list of places to check out in our neck of the woods for a while. We for sure wanted a classy place that served cocktails, and Hotel Sutter fit the bill. Both of us were also craving a good craft burger, and from what I saw in other reviews, the burgers looked delicious. I made a reservation for us on OpenTable just in case, but since it was a weeknight I wasn't too concerned if we had walked in. We were seated nearly immediately, and our server cheerfully asked us what we wanted to drink besides good ole H2O. I was really glad we came to visit around Christmastime, since they were serving holiday cocktails and other beverages. I went with the partridge pear martini, while my husband went with the Santa's spiced cider. My martini was oh so delicious and perfectly strong, and I had a small sip of my husband's cider, which was refreshing with the perfect holiday-esque notes. We read a few mixed reviews on the apps, so went straight to the entrees instead. I chose the bacon jam burger and my husband chose the traveller whiskey burger. Both of us upgraded to the garlic rosemary seasoning. I went with fries and my husband went with tots. Honestly, we were glad that we didn't end up ordering an app, since the burgers themselves were pretty filling! We both asked for medium on the cook temp of our patties, and they delivered. The meat was perfectly juicy with a wonderful charred flavor. The bacon jam was so delicious, and the balsamic arugula paired perfectly with everything. My brioche bun was pillowy and yet did not fall apart with all the juices of the burger. I did not get a chance to try my husband's burger, but he stated that it was also top notch. My fries were piping hot, with a perfect dusting of garlic rosemary flavor and sprinkles of Parmesan cheese. I tried a tot and that was also delightfully crispy and flavorful. We asked for ranch and that went well with both sides. The ketchup was great as well. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Old buildings are always up my alley, and the rich history of Hotel Sutter can truly be felt simply by touching its brick walls (that is, if you believe in the spirit realm). I loved that each table had its own light, but the restaurant had the perfect dim setting for a classy date night. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and kept our waters refilled. We had a concern regarding the pricing of the cider on the bill vs on the menu and that was fixed immediately, with the rest of the staff notified for future reference. It was a tiny discrepancy, but one that we caught quickly and simply wanted to bring up. Hotel Sutter Restaurant is definitely on our places to return to in the future, and I'd love to sit on the balcony some other time and enjoy some brunch and mimosas. If you're looking for an excuse for date night or are just feeling fancy, definitely come relax, sip some delicious cocktails, and enjoy the delicious food Hotel Sutter Restaurant has to offer! read more

December 11, 2025 - Sutter Creek, CA Stepping inside feels like taking a step back in time--the ambiance hits you right away. We did have to wait a few minutes before being greeted, but it was early and lunch service seemed to be just getting underway. We ordered the French Dip to share, and for an extra $5 they plated it as two full meals, which I always appreciate. They also had some festive specialty cocktails, so I tried the Jack Frost mule. It came out a beautiful blue, was nicely ginger-forward, and absolutely delicious. The French Dip was very good as well--the bread was soft, and the meat was tender. Overall, it was a relaxed and enjoyable lunch, and we'd happily stop in again. read more

After a day tasting fantastic wines from the region, I needed a meal to soak up the Jesus juice flowing through my body. This historic hotel/restaurant was a short walk from my Inn. It definitely has a gold rush vibe (minus the soiled doves). The menu is broad and includes Italian, American, Asian, and Southwest dishes. I ordered the aroncini appetizer and the bacon jam burger with rosemary garlic tots. I can't pass on tots. The bacon jam was rich which definitely elevated the burger. When it came the the aroncini, the sauce was the star--very delicious. I could've licked the plate. The waitress was attentive enough that I didn't shame myself by doing that, though. I can't guarantee I won't on the next visit. read more

Very neat old town and this restaurant felt like history walking in. We made reservations and glad we did as it was very busy and the World Series was on the bar tv making it loud. Great menu with a lot of variety to satisfy most and reasonably priced. Also kid friendly as there were a few in attendance. Not a romantic spot due to the loudness though. I opted for a nice starter salad with steak and was pleasantly surprised by the size and it was a nice tender cut. My friends ordered salads and coconut shrimp and were equally pleased. They had some nice drinks and I opted for an Aperol plunge which had a small split in it, very refreshing after a day of wine tasting. They have outside seating on an upstairs balcony that would be fun next time in town! read more

While visiting out of town I made reservations for friend and I to visit this restaurant we had been admiring it since planning our trip. It's nestled in the small town of Sutter Creek and it feels the old time feel of the time. The restaurant as a bar and you are quickly greeted once you enter. We were seated by window doors that were opened to the evening breeze. We quickly made our selection and I had a glass of sparkling wine. The menu has many options. However I was really interested in there prime rib however it's only served on the weekends. I settled with ordering a chimichurri tri-tip shaved tater tot as my appetizer with the side salad. The tater tots had a really great flavor. The chimichurri sauce was not overpowering and the potatoes came out very crispy. The side salad was a perfect side and the vinaigrette was the perfect addition. When my entree came which included a chimichurri glazed salmon with mixed vegetables and a loaded baked potato my table was full! The salmon was perfectly cooked and light and flaky. The baked potato was okay. With the evening still being young and the meal so incredible we also settled on trying dessert. I went for the apple crisp with ice cream which was really good and tasted homemade. Overall I had a really great experience and our server gave us good recommendations for a nightcap at the Speakeasy bar not far from us. read more

First off, it's a really cool place with a nice atmosphere. I had the Crab and Shrimp Louie and I really liked it. The dressing is very unusual for a Louie but I like it. I don't know what spice is in it but it's flavorful. My wife had the Salmon burger and really enjoyed it. Excellent flavor. Our friend had the Southwest Salad, and she said that it was good. Tons of salad! Our server was a very nice man, but he was by himself. There was a young lady that I think was supposed to help him with drinks, but you had to ask her for refills. Nice young lady but not properly trained. I blame the lack of service and the training on management. read more

Stopped by Hotel Sutter in Sutter Creek for brunch after the Barbera Festival in Plymouth. The hotel and restaurant have such a charming old-town vibe -definitely a cozy spot to unwind after a busy weekend. Our server was great--friendly, attentive, and helpful when we had questions about the menu. I ended up ordering the brisket hash, which wasn't quite what I expected. I've had a version at a local spot in Reno that used cubed potatoes and chunks of brisket, but this version came with shredded hash browns and shredded brisket, topped with eggs and a pretty vinegary BBQ sauce. I had asked for light sauce, but it was still a bit overpowering for me. In hindsight, I should've asked for it on the side. The dish just didn't hit the mark for me personally, and I wouldn't order it again. That said, the service and ambiance were lovely, and I'd definitely come back to try something else on the menu. I think there's still potential here, it just wasn't the right dish for me this time around. read more

I have been wanting to eat at Hotel Sutter Restaurant in Sutter Creek. Nice setting. Hard wood floors, historical tone.... Recommend a reservation... A friend and I had been wanting to come here for dinner since we were in town for business. We were seated across from the windows which were opened to let the early evening breeze inside. Our server immediately provided ice water and took our drink order and was helpful with our appetizers and food orders. I opted for the pear martini which was tasty. Tried a small cup of their tortilla soup which was really good. I had the Ahi Poke salad, and the Brussel sprouts with the garlic aoili The quality of the food was excellent. My salad was very fresh with different textures and flavors. Since it was still early, opted for the bread pudding for desert. Our server Scott provided great service, noting he was professional, attentive and not overbearing. Looking forward to returning to try different foods on their menu. Definitely recommend the Hotel Sutter Restaurant. read more

We had an excellent dinner here. We shared a 1/2 wedge salad, delicious and well dressed and plenty for 2 people! We also shared the ribeye steak, which they generously split for us, so we had two loaded baked potatoes and two portions of asparagus. Again, plenty for two people! Steak was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Potatoes were excellent and the asparagus was also perfectly cooked. A very good dinner! The dining room was VERY loud, mostly from one table! But we had a very good time. Wait!!!! I forgot about the coconut shrimp!! Tasty, crispy, nice and hot. An excellent addition! read more

My husband & I and a couple of friends came to Hotel Sutter for dinner after the concert at Sutter Creek Theater. It was a very pleasant dinning. The food was great & our extra attentive waiter who looks like Richard Geer in cowboy boots did an excellent job in waiting for us. He came by constantly asking if we needed anything. The bread he refilled without charge because the first one wasn't served right away & it wasn't piping hot anymore. Overall - it was a great experience. We will definitely go back! read more

Service was great, our waiter was very friendly and even offered to get my friend a different cocktail (no charge) when the first one she ordered was too sweet for her liking. Started with an order of fries which were disappointingly underdone. I ordered the short rib and the sauce was VERY salty. One of my friends got a wedge salad and a bowl of soup (turkey and rice I think), and she said they were both pretty good. We all agreed we would probably not return, expected more for the prices we paid. read more

We stayed at the Hotel Sutter and booked dinner when we completed our pre check in. It is always great when you get the benefit of a bar and restaurant at the hotel you are staying & they are great! The town shuts down pretty early so this is a treat to be able to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere without leaving. This is our first time staying at the hotel and stopping by the lobby bar to enjoy a few drinks. However it is our second time dining at the restaurant. We had a reservation and we were seated right away upon checking in. The restaurant was busy with a lot of the tables filled along with a few large groups. It was a holiday weekend and good to see the restaurant busy. It did take a bit for someone to come by the table or acknowledge us. However, the person brought by some waters, and informed us that our server would be by soon to take our order. They were pretty busy so it was understandable and we were not in a hurry so not a big deal. Once the server arrived she thanked us for our patience and understanding for the wait. She was attentive and really nice. We ordered a few glasses of wine and our dinner selections at that time. The wine options were the same as the lobby bar and we opted for a white and red local wine. We ordered the prime rib that was tender and flavorful. We also ordered the seasonal harvest salad to share that was delicious with sweet potatoes, spring salad and beets. For dessert we ordered the pumpkin lava cake with vanilla ice cream that was a seasonal offering. It did not disappoint. It had caramel sauce, perfectly pumpkin flavor that was not overly spiced and was served warm. Overall it was a great dinner. read more

The atmosphere is amazing. You feel like you're in an old west movie. But the food! They could do so much better with a tad bit of effort! The mahi mahi was like leather. The side of salmon on the pasta was at best 4 ounces. It was half a small slice of salmon! The pasta? I'd say the Alfredo was about on par to the Olive Garden. The best part of the meal was the appetizers -- except for the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were dry and tasted like they may have been made the day before. And for service. It was fine. Slow at times, attentive at others. All in all average service with chain restaurant quality food. read more

Staying at the Hotel Sutter (you can read my review on that as well), we opted for the restaurant. Made reservations (highly recommended especially on the weekends) as this place is super popular with locals and tourists. Dine here and you'll know why. Seated quickly, served water and drink order was taken. Extensive menu, lots of enticing choices. If you are pretzel lover, you have to start with the Pig Fig & Goat: giant warm buttered Bavarian pretzel, prosciutto, fig jam , goat cheese with honey, smokey beer cheese, candied pecans...a meal in itself. Pretzel with goat cheese and fig jam was incredible. After wolfing this down, opted for the beef short ribs, fall apart delish finished in a pomegranate demi glaze on cheesy mashed potatoes with seasonal veggies. Service was attentive and friendly, app and entrees timed well. Definitely a return when back in town. After the restaurant closes, make it down to their speakeasy, the Copper Room, located in the basement. A vast array of whiskey, rye and bourbon (yeah, even Pappy if your wallet can handle it (up to $75 for half ounce pour!!)). Excellent mixologist/bar manager to craft your perfect cocktail with a fair pour! Stays open until 11 on the weekends. read more

The ambiance was very nice. Brynlee our waitress was professional yet fun and friendly. She enhanced our experience there. We started with cocktails. I had a Blackberry lemon drop, it was perfect. My partner had grey goose over, his favorite. We started with the clam chowder, we both agreed it was one of, if not the best clam chowder we ever had. We ordered the French bread it came with butter and garlic olive oil and the bread came out warm, so nice. We split a salad and the rib eye. The rib eye had a really yummy complementary sauce. Not overpowering at all. The loaded mash potatoes that came with it were so good, creamy with bacon and cheese. The next time we come back we would like to try the New York stead and the Gnocchi's.... We were too full to get dessert... yes we will be back . read more

Very disappointed with the quality of the $16.00 Burnt Brussel Sprouts Appetizer we had yesterday afternoon. I hang with my friend's mom who lives in Sutter Creek two times a week and we walk downtown for lunch. After paying over $45 for two drinks and a burnt appetizer, I will NEVER go back! Yes, we should have said something at the moment but I kept receiving phone calls about my father in memory care and frankly was dealing with a lot! I also should have taken a picture but it would have been black as that's what we received, I didn't know the chef was cajon cooking...Burnt! VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! read more

Visited this place on the way out of town. Ordered the small breakfast plate and added sausage to it. I took the housemade croissant and cut it in half and made myself a yummy breakfast sandwich with all the ingredients. Highly recommend.

I am looking forward to stopping by here again and trying out some other items on their menu. read more

This restaurant has been on my "want to try" list for a while and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is old world charm with modern updates. Walking into Hotel Sutter brought a feeling of relaxation and comfort. All of the staff was warm and welcoming. To start brunch, I had the DIY Mimosas. It was beautifully presented and the juices were delicious. I liked that I could mix the juices at my rate and to my ratio preference. My husband had the Spicy Pomegranate Mule which was well balanced with just the right amount of spicy heat. For food, we had the Sutter Benedict with smoked salmon, Tri-Tip Hash, and the French Toast. The Sutter Benedict was ok. The eggs were poached perfectly but the benedict was one-note and missing something (maybe capers) to add dimension and depth to this dish. The Tri-Tip Hash was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!! It had complexity, depth, was well seasoned, and each bite left you craving more. The French Toast had bursts of flavor in each bite but the real star was the syrup (and I don't like syrup!) The syrup was so decadent and delicious I made sure it didn't go to waste! After exploring the town and surrounding areas, we swung back around for another visit. I had an Espresso Martini and a slice of the Carrot Cake. The Martini was delicious balance of chocolate and espresso. The cake was DELICIOUS! It was light and airy while staying perfectly sweet and savory at the same time. I am already planning for my next visit and can't wait to dive into the other items on the menu. read more
