Popped in here to feed my addiction that is NFL football and it didn't disappoint. This whole hotel has got a great vibe overall, as does the bar downstairs that we spent some time in the night before. Light pours in from Main Street and there's some exposed rock that has the classic feel inside. I tried some local brews that were good. I didn't eat anything here but I could've -- the menu looked much better than typical bar food. Sneaky good options. Fun spot to catch the end of a game, and even better when the Chiefs pulled in that W against the Steelers. read more

Enjoyed a great meal tonight... fried polenta appetizer followed by a mushroom fettuccini Alfredo accompanied by a Grey Goose and tonic. The service was good, not great, but worth going out for sure. We're locals and prefer to sit in the bar area for a more casual atmosphere. read more

Thank you Scott for making our night out extra special! We loved the whiskey burger and garlic fries yum. A warm wonderful experience full of history and great people. Loved it and will definitely be back with friends....Just wanted to say what an awesome waiter Scott was. Very well versed on the history of the hotel. Thank you again Scott! read more

Very good, service great, Olivia, our server, was so accommodating. We were a lunch group of seniors and each of us had a lovely time

We chose to come to Sutter Creek for my bachelorette party. A local pointed out Hotel Sutter and said we HAD to go. It didn't disappoint! The Jack Mac is amazing and the owner (?) is awesome. She talked us into the pretzel and thank God she did. Our waitress Mariah was also so sweet and gave us a special dessert because I'm getting married. Great experience! :) read more

Came to Sutter Creek as recommended by a winery we visited, and what a quaint lil town! There are only 2 solid places to eat at on this street we visited, the Cavanas Pub & Grub, and across the street: Hotel Sutter Restaurant. I like the dining experience style of the restaurant: you order up at the front, give them your table number + pay, then sit down and they come drop off your food. You eat, you leave, they bus your plates for you. Pretty chill. Not sure if this was always what it was like, but during COVID, this was my experience. I think the Yelp star rating listed for this restaurant is pretty on point. The food isn't "WOW" factor at all, but I will say that the sides made me round up to 4 stars. Also, this town is pretty small, and I can already tell this restaurant is among one of the best in this area--so I think it deserves the higher rating in comparison to the other subpar restaurants. Anyways, I ordered the NY Steak (that comes with two sides) and my husband ordered the burger. Now, I felt my steak was just okay--I asked for my steak medium, and it came out more medium well, but it was still edible. What's up with the sauce on top though? Lol... Every time there's a sauce on top of a steak, it makes me feel like the steak NEEDS the flavor or something because it's dry or just lacking the correct seasoning *shrugs shoulder* What stole the show really were THE SIDES. The garlic tater tots were legit some of the best I've had, and the Mac n cheese was obviously made in house. Was lightweight expecting a Kraft Mac n cheese style, but nah fam, it was UGHHHHH! Perfect. Best sides on the menu for sure. The burger was just a burger btw. If you're craving a basic burger, get it lol read more

Place is pretty shitty....had a great new Chef with new vibe in different food and now he is gone...shame on them. Rather keep the old boring lousy food, lousy management, lousy service. I reverse my previous review because it has nothing to offer for such an historic place. read more

This restaurant should be the best in class. No real competition in Sutter Creek, Plymouth or Amador City yet always sub par. I had nachos that were cold. You would think they would notice when sour cream does not melt. Need to FIX this as it's been years. read more

My husband and I went to dinner here for New Year's Eve. It was full but it didn't not feel cramped. The tables are spaced apart well. The service was amazing. We never had to wait for anyone to take our drink order or our food order. Both of our cocktails were perfect. The wine list is filled with local wines and we chose a bottle that we have had before. We both had a tough time choosing our entree as the menu all sounded great. We both finally decided in the bacon wrapped filet Mignon. Medium rare. Unfortunately it came out more medium but it was still very good. When our waitress saw that it was not cooked properly she immediately comped us half the price each, despite us protesting that it was not necessary and we were enjoying our meal. We continued with dessert and it was amazing as well. It's pretty rare to have all things go so perfectly nowadays and we will definitely be back. Thank you hotel Sutter for such a great experience. read more

Definitely​ a disappointment. This is the only sit-down "fancy" restaurant in Sutter Creek. It's not that fancy. I think the best part was the friendliness of the staff. Haley was our server and she was very welcoming and checked on our enjoyment of the meal throughout. The only misstep was not bringing the bread that we requested until after a reminder. We ordered drinks to start. I had the Makers Mark Cooler. Think Mojito with whiskey​ instead​ of rum. It was quite good. I had the blackened​ shrimp with risotto​​ for my main. There was a generous serving of very spicy shrimp on top of a very small portion of risotto an a side of green and wax beans and carrots. Nothing was terrible, it just was nothing special. The shrimp tasted fine but they were a little rubbery. The risotto tasted like it was made with cream and jack cheese rather than parmesan. It was ok, but a bit bland. The whole dish looked like shrimp and grits. The room was very loud. There was a large party sitting next to us who were talking quite loudly. The room is all hard surfaces so there is nothing to dampen the noise. It made have a quiet conversation impossible. It is an historic building and like how they kept the 1800's character of the dining room. But the bare wooden tables, brick walls, and high ceilings only made the loud conversations resonate throughout the room. It is the only dining option in Sutter Creek that is not bar food, sandwiches, pizza, or Tex-Mex. That is too bad. I am not sure I will return as the overall quality of the dining experience was not worth the cost. read more

Updated charm in late 1860's old hotel. Nicely restored lobby, restaurant and bar gives you that feeling of just stepping off the stagecoach. Best seats in the house are either on second floor balcony or at the large open windows at the front Service left a lot to be desired. Slow in taking our order. Empty water glasses. At the end of the meal it took awhile to get the check. The food was ok. Hubby enjoyed his pulled pork sliders, fries and cole slaw. It all had good flavors. I tried the grilled chicken sandwich. Ciabatta bread was fresh. Chicken was a little dry and a couple of bites tough. Enjoyed the arugula aioli with a hint of lemon. The menu said grilled onions but had raw onions on the sandwich- I really don't care for strong raw onions Really enjoyed the atmosphere but will try a different spot next time read more

What a great establishment! Me and my wife dined in at the Hotel Sutter tonight and we sat in the Lobby Bar. We were first greeted by Brandon and then Brian ( both wonderful personality). They both went above and beyond to make our time here something to remember. We had came here previously and the bar lacked a little bit of everything, but things have turned around. Cheers to Brandon and Brian and their efforts for making the Hotel Sutter Great!!! We will definitely be back with our friends! read more

What can we say? Our lunch was excellent. The giant pretzel with beer cheese, excellent. Buffalo chicken sandwich and onion rings, excellent. Whiskey bbq burger and fries, same, excellent... Maybe the tall glass of beer has an impact, but does it matter? Great job Shayna. read more

Just returned from overnight stay here. enjoyed the time with friends, and also having wine and cheese on the balcony. special thanks to Aaron and his beautiful assistant for making this so enjoyable. Bill Harrison read more

Every time we come to Amador County to wine taste, we come here for dinner. Consistently good friendly professional service, delicious food, and a great relaxed atmosphere. Today we sat outside on the balcony upstairs and enjoyed a gin and tonic (me) and 12 year Redbreast whiskey (hubby) with our Brussel sprouts, salad, and chimichurri tri-tip. We'll definitely be back. read more

Well, let me start by saying it was nice to sit on the balcony overlooking Main Street. For that I give two stars. However, my friend and I like to meet up once a month and go to lunch to catch up. We figured we'd try the restaurant of Hotel Sutter. We were told in advance they did t have any wait staff for the balcony other than delivering our food after we ordered it at the bar. And we would have to go back downstairs for any drink refills so we understood those limitations ahead of our visit. We placed our orders at the bar; I ordered the coconut prawns for $18 and my friend ordered the charcuterie board for $18. We both had iced tea. We took our teas upstairs and waited for our appetizers. And waited. And waited. It was very nearly 30 minutes before our food arrived. My $18 coconut prawn dish consisted of 4 prawns. They weren't hot, they didn't have any coconut taste. The charcuterie consisted of a large hard-as-a-rock pretzel, three small "samples" of dips (goat cheese spread, fig jam, melted cheese), three small slices of prosciutto, and nine toasted candied walnut halves. To say we were disappointed would be kind. We didn't eat the majority of the pretzel because it was so crazy hard and dry and tasteless. The walnuts were over toasted. The iced tea was fine. We both decided we would not come to this restaurant again. It was overpriced and the food was unimpressive and, frankly, scanty. But like I said, sitting on the balcony was nice. But I expect more than that when I plunk down $18 per appetizer. read more

We dined here last night. I had the gnocchi dish and my friend had the NY steak with the mash potatoes. Both dishes were delicious. The drinks were good and reasonably priced. The service was great! Also, there was live entertainment. I totally recommend. read more

We have had dinner two times this month with a party of 12 and 6 this month and each time the service and food were fantastic.

Flies, Lies and Excuses.... We have been coming to this bar/restaurant for many years and on our last visit we were treated very poorly by a young man tending the bar. Beyond the horrible customer service we received from him, we were bombarded by flies trying to share our food. While this is very irritating, the insult to injury was we were given a device that spun around like a mini fan to try to shoo away the flies. The people next to us requested one of these devices and were given one too. I seriously question the management team here to choose a infantile solution to distract the flies rather than seek a solution to remove the source of the flies. Why subject people to this annoying treatment? However, the biggest insult we experienced was from Rebecca C., the "Business manager". I think her main role is to monitor bad Yelp reviews. She texted us several times and made numerous excuses for her employee who treated us poorly. She tried to pacify us with the offer of a gift card to make up for the bad service given to us. We told her a gift card was not necessary, but she pushed hard for us to give her our home address and we gave in and sent it to her. It has been over three weeks since we last texted with her and all we have heard has been crickets. Why waste people's time with false promises of a gift card? You already convinced us that your employees don't care about customer service, management doesn't care about the flies and Rebecca doesn't care about lying to people. Basically, this place is a train wreck and should be avoided at all costs. read more

My wife and I recently sat at the bar and ate dinner and had a few drinks. The bar was really busy and the bartender, Brandon, went out of his way to find us chairs and an area to sit. The food was excellent and Brandon really helped us by suggesting some excellent appetizers and main courses. Of course the drinks were also outstanding and we enjoyed the personable service by Brandon as well. read more

I'm honestly flabbergasted by some of these negative reviews of the food. This place is very authentic and all meals I've tried are delicious and fresh. Everyone has different customer service experiences of course, but I've always had great service at this restaurant. I'll keep coming back. read more

Very friendly service here.The waiters make sure you always have water,and they are informative about what the dishes are.Ambience is great too.This is the restaurant of the Hotel Sutter,which is in a historical building with antique furniture and lots of vintage charm.From inside you can see signs saying when buildings were built.Thhe food is very good too.I had the spaghetti and meatballs.The meatballs and sauce are both billed on the menu as homemade.The red tomato sauce is certainly different from sauces you get in a store.This sauce was simmered a long time and has hints of bell pepper.it didn't seem to have added sugar.meatballs were good too.The bread is crusty and dense--not a lot of sponginess.The raisin bread was really good.The place is located on the "main drag" of Sutter Creek. read more

We stayed at this hotel on a romantic night away from the kids. It was perfect. Went wine tasting in town and then the restaurant waived the corkage fee on an amazing bottle of wine that we brought back. The restaurant was bustling with an upbeat atmosphere on a Thursday night. We both ordered sandwiches and fries which was a little strange in a fancy -ish place with really nice wine but, man o man were those sandwiches good. Feeling a little rough this morning but it was so worth it. read more

Worth another try. Super friendly staff. We didn't have reservations, and were told it would be a 30 minute wait that turned into close to 2.25 hours. We hung out in Cooper lounge downstairs which had a nice casual vibe that had a whiskey bar, wine, beer and other cocktails. The bar was slow and understaffed, but we were not in a rush. We ended up ordering food to go and brought it downstairs to the lounge to eat, which I wish we had done earlier. Some missing food was quickly brought down. Food was good, except too much vinegar on the brussel sprouts. Cute place. I would try it again. read more

We just had a great experience with Brandon the great bartender. I highly suggest the Espresso Martini!

Our group of 8 gals enjoyed dining at the Hotel Sutter immensely. We were fortunate enough to have a table on the balcony on a beautiful spring evening. Our server, Scott, dealt with our many requests and questions with such professionalism. He made wonderful suggestions (the carrot cake with a bourbon drizzle). Food was great, service was excellent! read more

We visited Daffodil Hill today from the SF Bay Area and stopped here for dinner. We really wanted to love this place. There is something about having a go-to favorite in small, local California towns. I was hoping to taste a signature drink, sample food from local growers, eat off stoneware from local businesses. Hoped for artisan quality, localized to highlight why we love Sutter Creek. That's part of the charm for tourists..we go back to work and talk about our weekends and "oh you HAVE to try this restaurant..." We ordered a a big meal, appetizers to dessert. It was not good. It tasted like everything was from a can and just mixed together. Everything was average food at best, but mostly just not good, little flavor, over cooked. Like they tried hard, but it feels like there is not really a trained chef, just someone who follows recipes from the internet. The other thing...we were going to be charged for sharing plates. That seems so weird, and I was like forgot it we don't need the extra food that bad. I also asked and their employees do not get a discount to eat there. I took away a star just for the cheapness of the management decisions. All that aside, here is what we loved the most and the ONLY reason we would give it one more try. The staff are amazing, truly among the best. It was awesome, and THAT is what I will say about this place. Food is not great, but the staff is awesome. Having said all that, I feel like if the owners/managers watched a few seasons of Restaurant Impossible, or even hired a consultant for feedback, they would be able to get it on track. It's almost cute, almost good...100% potential to be wildly successful, but like they need an outsider to help a little. Support the local farmers and artisans, and we will for sure be back. We seriously look for that when we go somewhere. Fresh squeezed juices, fresh chopped herbs, cook the food for the right time and the right way. And take care of the staff, the crown jewel of the establishment. read more

After spending a long day up in the foothills hiking and looking for rocks we stopped in Sutter on our way back down the hill. After parking we talked with a group of locals and was told to eat at the place across from Hotel Sutter. After looking in at their menu we decided to go to Hotel Sutter. Once food was ordered it took a while before seeing that food. The salmon was a bit over cooked, good flavor. The whiskey burger was way undercooked and the Brussels were close to very burnt. We shared the salmon since that seemed to be the only thing somewhat edible. I then bagged up all the food and took home with the intent of feeding to the dog. I called the restaurant and was told that a refund was not available since we ate the food. So the next day I drove all they way back up there (half tank of gas) to give them the food "we ate". I was told no manager was there but she would call me when she arrived. Two days later, cricket's. read more

Super quaint and historic setting. The menu is packed with great selections and the food is very good quality.
